Help! I think my cat is a Republican.
I keep finding tortured lizard carcases around the house. I just found one still alive, swimming in his water dish. He seems to think he's a jailer at Abu Ghraib. Is there no hope?

1. Have him de-clawed and de-toothed immediately
and feed him liquified tofu through a straw.

3. he is declawed!
I didn't do it. He was a stray and I found him that way. He kills without claws! He bats the little lizards around like a soccer ball.

5. I've had two cats
that were veritable killing machines. The one I still have has learned not to bring his stuff inside, cuz Daddy just takes it away. So now at least I find the critter parts outside.

6. it would be one thing if he ate them
I've gotten used to a certain quantity of dead lizards. But to find one alive in his water dish was a bit much. A few months ago, I came home to find him siting in the entry way, a huge lizard, torn apart, blood everywhere, at his feet. Usually they are small. This one was huge. It would be one thing if he ate them, but he has no interest in doing that. He only tortures them. Taking them away isn't really good enough, since I don't generally find them until he has finished with them. I suppose I just have to get used to living in the Abu Ghraib for geckos.

I don't think I'd know a mole head if I saw one. That must have been an eyeful. At least they weren't in bed with you.

10. a mole head
looks just like a mole, only without a body.

He's also good at catching mice, rats, gophers and the occasional bird.

My little girl, in my avatar, catches worms. Yeah, worms. Nothing but worms. She's quite proud of herself when she does it, too.

28. I had a cat that used to drop live moles on my bare feet
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 04:35 PM by jpak
while I was brushing my teeth.

Man those things are fast - it would take me an hour to catch them and let the go outside.

She use to bring me live birds too (pandemonium, feathers everywhere).

She's a real sweetie but her little love gifts were a bit too much...

11. Mine used to catch newts, snakes and lizards.
I think the carcasses you find are but a spall percentage of the total catches... many get eaten, I think.

One of my cats once vomited up an entire, unchewed sparrow. It's amazing what they eat.

23. Maybe lizards don't taste good.
I think I read somewhere that toads don't taste good. I have never eaten either, so I don't know for certain.

12. All cats are republican - fascists actually
They are only in it for themselves. They don't care if you starve, just give them their damn food NOW! Of course they are Warmongers too.

18. Dogs have republican tendencies too
They are like the US with it's addiction to oil. They want their food, they want your food, they want everybodies food. They do have good hearts though. Dogs are the kind who would steal your food and lick your face all in the same breath.

19. don't forget the crotch sniffing
That's my number one pet peeve when it comes to dogs. Or is the a Democratic trait? Why does Bill Clinton come to mind?

Bad Democratic me :spank:

20. But they tend to be brown nosers
You know they always have their noses in other dog's behinds. Lately this seems to be quite a republican trait. Ask Jeff Gannon.

25. Jeez, mine just thinks they are toys
I found this poor little mouse in a corner with the cat just staring at it, the dog had brought it in and dumped it on the floor for the cat to play with, not a scratch or tooth mark on it, just shaking from fear, I grabbed it and let it loose in the front yard where the dog couldn't get to it. I'll notice the dog in the back yard chasing them around, but he wears a muzzle at all times outside, so he can't do much anyway...and the mice are only out there during harvest season, I think he looks forward to it, gives him something animate to chase.

30. seriously
If there was everyone anyone who needed to start pulling his weight, it's a cat. On the other hand, I don't know of any Republicans as soft and cuddly as my kitty.
