Ok, Ginger cats have personality !
Here's another rescued cat (well all 4 of my cats are rescues) ... his name is Sarge, well, because he ruled when he arrived, and every Sergeant has stripes (I think), and he certainly had lots of ginger stripes. Here's a video of him watching a mole ...
Disclaimer: No moles or ginger cats, were actually harmed in the making of this video.
Here's the guilty little bugger !
Hiding in the guest bathroom, after bravely defending us from this furry creature
(this WROMD - Rodent of mass destruction) for about half an hour.
that damn cat ! ... this week, cause it's getting closer to the end of winter ... he has caught 2 rats ... we live close to a valley, so I guess he has a large supply available.... the first one he brought in proudly ... "hey peeps, look, I'm so cool, I got a rat and it's big and bleeding" ... 'hey rat, ol' buddy ol' pal, let's play, how about I call you Claud'.
So I pat him and tell him what a brave hunter he is 'ah, good boy, now take it out of here'. So this morning as I'm leaving, I see him just outside the back door, with another fresh kill, still soft and limp, I'm late for work (due to an istock addiction, but we'll discuss that another day), so I try the brave hunter routine, but he thinks I want to take the rat to work for lunch, so he growls at me ... forget this, and I race for the car, open the gate and scream to work. Under the impression that it's going to be a great day ... 'radar love' blares on the radio - lol (you'd have to have read the forum post to understand) ... No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care ... moving right along ... the day goes fine, for a workday. The funniest most embarrassing thing that happened was we just recently moved office and realised that we hadn't plugged the radio in, so cool idea, music while we work, but the socket doesn't seem to work, along the one wall. Hah, no problem, one call to Maintenance ... 'sure, I'll send some guys, immediately', er uh, ok. So we wait, finally the main guy and a contractor arrive, and flick the switch in the electric box down then up and it works! So he asks what equipment we needed to plug in ? ... we look at each other and turn to the radio ... oh man, not a good idea ... he was horrified , two guys pitch up so we can listen to music ! Fortunately he was a friend and took it in good humour, after threatening to shove the radio ... (anyway, we made it through unscathed) ... so all in all a great day. Until i get home and connect to the net, things are running smoothly, until I had an hour to take a break, and decide a nice relaxing bubble bath would work well, so who decides bubbles are cool.... the ginger blur ! ... but it gets boring cause cats and water do not form a homogenous mix. So he decides to chase another cat, racing through the room, wrestling and looking cute ... until I catch him out of the corner of my eye connecting with the modem cord and Wham! ... it's on the floor ... No problem, it's not the first time that's happened. Until it's time to reconnect, and the flipping thing won't even budge. No amount of gentle encouraging made any difference, slight shaking produced no sound. So after trying foreign languages, I hand it over to my support section, who by this time has frazzled nerves, cause I'm going into serious withdrawal systems. No can do; ok, we agree, tomorrow we'll take it in.
But just one more gentle nudge to see if unbumping it will fix it, sort of like going back in time. By this stage, my support dept has told me that the modem is sounding like maracas. Er, I'm sure that wasn't me. I never jiggled it that hard. After much very civil debate, I agree to have support do open heart surgery. it is discovered that a part has snapped off, so after much more very civil debate, I reposition it and all human or animal contact is forbidden within a 50 mile radius. It's just balanicng in place but the lights are on ...
I reconnect and ... yay !!! ... so tomorrow, it'll be silicone sealed in place and resoldered back in place...
All I could get after chasing him around - The ginger blur strikes again !
His name is Spike, but you can call him the Spikestermeister!!
Anyone have some good recipes for wokking your cat ?
