Cats,...Have you tried singing when you serve them?<br /><br />Cats, despite their apparent horribleness, are hopeless romantics. <br /><br />Here's Vincent Distasio's rendition of C.O.R., a timeless favorite. (Ignore his homophobic disparagement. I'm sure it was something he was subjected to and not his personal opinion.)<br /><br />https://youtu.be/BXAGb78VAww<br /><br />MFHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495926455768090923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719803707314253077.post-1661750857845990382022-01-19T14:55:09.656-06:002022-01-19T14:55:09.656-06:00I'm afraid you're meowing up the wrong tre...I'm afraid you're meowing up the wrong tree for cat-adulation!<br /><br />It started in the late 80's early 90's when we lived in the city and so many of our friends were dying of HIV related issues. (Not a single one of them survives today.) Somehow we started taking in the cats they left behind.<br /><br />Then we lived on the edge of a small rural town for a while and the location was a super-magnet for feral-cats, which are not and never become cuddly, and The Wife essentially began running an unofficial shelter (getting spayed or neutered was a requirement of residency)<br /><br />Since we moved to the property, bringing the existing feline population with us, no new cats, but, almost unbelievably, there are some survivors from those days still hanging on. (They actually have a small barn of their own to live in.)<br /><br />BUT, for much of this time I was gone all week, or more, for work and the cats, not exactly friendly to begin with, decided I personally was worse than a pack of wild dogs and things haven't improved one little bit since I retired.<br /><br />So very little adulation here, from either side.<br /><br />greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960238893013776630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719803707314253077.post-26503198939967167202022-01-19T14:40:37.319-06:002022-01-19T14:40:37.319-06:00Apparently it was sitting in a local warehouse and...Apparently it was sitting in a local warehouse and we just had to wait for the weekly truck to move it to the store.greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960238893013776630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719803707314253077.post-54536279349698480732022-01-18T07:46:39.951-06:002022-01-18T07:46:39.951-06:00I like that idea of a water filter on the wash mac...I like that idea of a water filter on the wash machine drain. 34 years of having dogs and I have never thought of that although I have drained my share of water heaters and had my septic pumped various times. I am surprised you were able to get a new unit so quickly in today's world. That was faster than getting auto parts.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239144450368514156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719803707314253077.post-4806317379108299052022-01-17T21:34:10.535-06:002022-01-17T21:34:10.535-06:00There's a cat there!!!
