Splash, the sea bitty...
2 friends of mine, Gus and Ryan, own and run a charter boat company in
Cardiff. (If any of you have seen Torchwood, they work from the Quay that is just behind the Torchwood entrance). They had a massive black and white Maine coon cat called Sinbad, that Gus found as a kitten that had been dumped in the dock. Sinbad was known to everyone and used to go out on the boats every day with Gus. He also used to bring back the stray cats in the marina so that Gus could give them a square meal. Unfortunately, Sinbad went to RB at the ripe age of 19 in April 2007. The boat has apparently been very quiet. On Saturday morning, they were coming into the marina when Gus saw a man throw a wriggling plastic bag off the pier. The bag was meowing. Gus promptly fished the bag out by jumping into the water and handing the bag up to Ryan. Inside were 3 bitties about 5 weeks old who were wet and cold and very distressed. The man disappeared before anyone could do anything. ( Fortunately Gus's wife is a vet tech. She's patched all the bitties up, and it appears that the bitties have survived their ordeal. Ryan is keeping the two tabby girl bitties who have been named Marina and Ariel, and Gus is keeping the black and white bitty who has been named "Splash"..... It seems Sinbad is still keeping an eye out for waifs and strays. ) Hiss-spits on the ******* who dumped them however. Helen M |

I hope Splash follows in Sinbad's Paw prints! Tyche and Kumani send the ******* to Davy Jone's Locker, where he will find buried treasure....the kind of "Treasure" buried in litter boxes every day. --Fil It seems Sinbad is still keeping an eye out for waifs and strays. ) Hiss-spits on the ******* who dumped them however. |

Let *him* float in a plastic bag in the ocean for a while, just long enough to scare the pants off him and freeze his nuts off. I'd go a little farther - let him drown miserably and slowly.
