09/12/09 [DMFA #1041] - Nobody post for fear of being spritzed!

[ooklah]

we have debated using this method on one of my co-workers. Sadly, in a room full of computers, it's not so great of an idea. (though we think it would work)

That would probably be the one hard thing about being a shape shifter, forgetting what form you're in.

On a side note, the window text today is lyrics from my single favorite song in the world. I wonder if anybody else knows what song it's from?

I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings
Be your valentino just for you

It's a shame that neither Dan nor Abel are Selkirk Rex or LaPerm cats, as a quick spritz with a water bottle can really bring out the curl in their fur.

Those cat breeds are so beautiful it's amazing.  And their curly fur is so soft and springy that you feel like you're petting a cloud...and spreading fog everywhere.

That's actually rather poetic.

Selkirk Rexes, the cats in sheep's clothing
They are so beautiful, their curls unparalleled
Their softness is equivalent to a cloud,
They leave a gentle fog wherever they go
Across all your furniture and carpeting
As you pet them, A billowing smoke of tangled hair
Goes drifting by, eliciting a meow so loud,
Wafting up towards the ceiling,
And dancing through the air.

Oh no no. I HATE Rexes. Damned ugliest cats ever, Sphinxes aside of course. They're bony nasty looking things with triangular heads and huge bat-like ears. Infact essentially they ARE Sphinxes in sheep's clothing. They're possibly the only cat breed I would not be sad to hear about a mass-drowning of. Cruel I know but the things were mutants from the start, they were never meant to be and should have never been bred from. Its a case of greed of breeders 'Omg my cat has produced this hairless/curly haired THING instead of the beautiful profitable kittens I was hoping for, now I won't be able to wring stupid amounts of money from my customers by saying they're pedigree even though my cat had to have shagged a hairless molerat or something to get something this ugly. Hmm unless.......' and thus Sphinxes/Rexes were born. They're Chihuahua's attempting to infiltrate cat ranks I'm sure of it 

(BTW I apologise if this comment offends any Rex/Sphinx fans but seriously I loathe them)

[ChaosMageX]

It's okay, Succubus_1982.  To each their own.  What is your favorite breed of cat?

I love all cats and all cat breeds, because everything they do is silly.  Even the way the female acts when mating is silly.

[Succubus_1982]

I like lots of kinds long-hairs more than shorts (but not those persians with the squished-in noses).Mainecoons and Norwegian Forest Cats are pretty. Ooh and Ragdolls. If I had to go with a shorthair though it'd be a Russian Blue like in TwoLumps.

But uh anyway offtopic. Moving on please.........

[Arapaima]

Maine coons and Norwegian forest cats are huge.

Squirt bottles are effective regardless of size/breed though

Lorenda is Kria's daughter.  It would take more than this.

Not on tigers.

Well in that case it's time to upgrade to the power hose

I believe leopards and tigers like swimming. I'd think some of them would _enjoy_ the power hose...

[Succubus_1982]

Yeh but in the face? At the very least it might give you 5 seconds distraction to get the wall and out of the enclosure before you're ripped to bloody shreds

[Alondro]

Jaguars like water.  They swim and hunt for fish, caimens, and other water denizens.   

[Naldru]

I once saw a zookeeper washing down one of the tiger cages with a hose.  (He was outside the cage.)  The tiger was getting in the way of the spray and rolling so that she got wet all over.  She then took a drink by catching part of the stream in her mouth.  The tiger appeared to be having a great time.

Lol and now the attempt to find a caption for that pic. Prizes go to the funniest.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

"Have you seen my ears?"

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

"Don't you dare take my snack"

[bradypodidae]

"This IS my happy-face!"

[Kitesfear]

Jaws theme, obviously.

(from the pool scene in the movie Caddy Shack) "Dookie!"



(please accept my humble apologies for that...)

"When I get my paws on that clown who keeps throwing my food in the pool..."

[Naldru]

"This IS my happy-face!"

Actually, I believe that the tiger dove into the water and the appearance of the skin around the mouth and eyes is due to the water rushing past.  That would also explain the ears being pushed back against the skull.  This really is a happy face.

Think of it as playing frisbee with an edible frisbee.

Edits:

P.S. Don't expect the frisbee back.

There are also tiger sharks as well as leopard seals.  But let's avoid getting too catty.

[Arapaima]

I've heard of leopard seals before...
