I see they are not free-range kitties. Sometimes that’s best. We recently lost a cat, and I think to a coyote. One minute he was there, next he was no where to be found.
MD, Sharon, yep, both are wearing harnesses and leashes. It’s the only way Mia has ever gotten out, barring a time or two when she rushed a door as it was opening. Happily, she’s always so stunned to have attained liberty that she’s easily corraled again.
When Turk’ was a kitten we started him out with a harness, but as he grew larger and more cantankerous getting him hooked up was a lot like juggling chainsaws, so we started letting him run free.
Bad idea. Should’ve known better, having lost a cat to predators up in Weirdcliffe. Turk’ got in a tangle with something, collected a wound, managed to hide it from us (the Turk’ ain’t exactly cuddly) and developed a nasty abscess that required a $450 trip to the vet.
So, long story short, he’s back in bondage, and we sport the occasional bandage. Oh, the felinity! The felinity!
From that angle, Turk looks like he sports a Manson-like X on his head! Zoot alors!
Chapeau for getting a harness on him. I have trouble getting a pill down my darlin’ cat.
Libby, I finally found his weak spot. Herself scored some organic cat treats that the Turk’ goes totally gaga over. I sprinkle a few of those bad boys over the floor in front of him and before he knows what hit him he’s all trussed up like a Christmas turkey.
I’m surprised, O’G, that you’ve been caught quoting Madness. I can see Zappa being your style, but ’80’s progressive/ska music? I hardly see that being to your liking.
I remember watching
Madness open for The Police at a San Diego State University back in the ’80’s. Madness was much better.
Good lord, the thought that some don’t know the CSN&Y reference? Makes me feel old. Next thing you know, someone won’t know what a field day for the heat was…
CSN camp as well here. But still have some modern relevance as well (hopefully) as I have a Twitter account, 2 BB, Laptop, Desktop and 4 Bikes! Don’t feel old anyway.

I love it – they look very content! Is that a leash?

Ay, O’G and Limey tunes don’t make too much sense, but then he could be quoting something a lot less cool than this:
Or he could be quoting a bunch of old hippies, being something of an old hippie himself:

Excellent point Khal. For what its worth – –
Wow I am seriously old because I had no idea there was anything but a CSN reference available.
Wow! Not getting a CSN reference (or even knowing it existed) makes me feel young…ish.
