Cat brought strange creature home
"Upscale" wrote in message
... help from these externals is superstition; to refuse to join them to the internal is pride. etc Quote Upscale: "Of course they were fake headers. It's the fact you were one of the targets that says something about you." OK so now you're a target, what does it say about you? That was a rhetorical question - don't answer it. I'm not really interested in perpetuating pointless disagreements. |

Cat brought strange creature home
"Baldoni" wrote in message ... I have 3 cats but a few months ago one of them came home with this creature he had picked up. He did not kill it but the 3 of them were chasing it around but neither of them would harm it. It managed to get under the furniture and so I was able to catch it. It had been making a squeaking noise and was about the same size as a mouse. But it had no front legs and a sort of bottle nose like a dolphin. My first thought was that it was a baby hedgehog but they have front legs. Does anyone know what it might be or has anyone had their cats bring in something similar ? I took the creature back out and put him under the fence which borders the woodland. He was not hurt and soon took off. I kept my cats indoors for a while so they would not bring him back. Gopher or a vole. Paul |

Or maybe that's just a wild tale like our "bigfoot"....... They seem to think there are big cats out on the moors and countryside. I think a lot of them are feral cats that were living on industrial sites like steelworks. I read tonight that a small steelworks employing 300 people that closed have 100 semi feral cats that a animal refuge are trying to take care of. There was a bigger place that employed about 11,000 at its peak and a relative of mine said the cats were a hell of a size that lived there. There are supposed to be big cats in places like Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor but a trapper came over from Canada and dismissed the idea in his opinion as he could find not one shred of evidence, ie scratch marks, that a big cat was on the loose. When we approach spring/summer the sightings will increase and anything from black labradors to old duffel coats will get reported as big cat sightings. -- Count Baldoni |

It's impossible to separate the real sightings from those of the "kooks", so you never know what to believe. Many years ago, I used to get the GB publication, "New Scientist" through Stanford University, where I worked. In one issue back in the 70's or early 80's there was an article about two Brits who were stomping out crop circles as a joke, and getting their midnight art published in the local newspapers. When the British government announced that they were going to spend 50 thousand Pounds investigating the phenomenon, these guys turned themselves in, so their government wouldn't waste the money. "We did it" they said. "It was just a big joke, so don't waste any money investigating it." Well, I sure wish I had saved that issue, because I have been hearing about crop circles ever since. Nobody cares that it was just a hoax perpetrated by those two Brits, they want to believe in crop circles, and by God, they are going to believe in them no matter what! Tens of thousands of acres of corn and wheat fields have been stomped out here in the US since that article was published, and the cult of people who believe that it was all done by aliens from outer space is so large that they even have their own lobbies in congress to get the money appropriated to them to investigate the phenomenon. The two British guys who started it all were worried about their government wasting money on it, and there are tens of thousands of guys here in the AUS who are gleefully laughing at the prospect of their government spending millions investigating it. - I guess that pretty well illustrates the difference between the way British subjects and Americans think..... |
