I hear an owl

Good thing Lucy's inside. :scared:

1. The owls are not what they seem

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. I loved, LOVED Twin Peaks...!

:hi:

[NMMNG]

6. Me too

It was killed off much too soon. :cry:

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Agreed. I couldn't believe it.

My father and I used to live for that show.

[Heidi]

2. Would she kill it?

Don't be afraid of owls. They're lovely creatures. My brother-in-law, who operates a state-sanctioned aviary at his home across the road from us, is currently nursing a beautiful owl back to health. They truly are beautiful, peaceful animals, OR. :)

3. I've heard they'll swoop down

and cat-nap kitties. :scared:

I think they're fascinating creatures; hell, I think just about all creatures are fascinating. But ya hear stories, y'know?

(I wish bats didn't scare me. I'd really like to get to know those suckers.)

[Heidi]

4. Oh, Ginger brought us a bat once when he was a kitten.

They're just little mice with wings, really.

I've never heard of owls cat-napping kitties. Is Lucy just a lil wisp of a thang? (I'd defy any owl to try to cat-nap Ginger when he's got a belly full of roastbeast. Ginger'd be like, "Oh, yeah? You and whose forklift?" :rofl:)

9. She's your average-sized feline, I guess

8.4 pounds at her last trip to the v-e-t, a couple weeks ago.

I guess most owls aren't that big, huh? Whadda I know; I'm a city boy. :blush:

I watched a teevee thing about bats years ago. They do look like mice with wings — some species, anyway. Cuter'n all hell. And, from what I understand, very important to the environmental balance 'n' all that.

I just have this thing about winged creatures; always have. Even birds creep me a little when their wings are spread.

10. This owl that my brother-in-law is tending

has a wingspan of nearly two meters, or so I'm told. I've seen this owl only with his (or her) wings retracted. Gorgeous.

(Yeah, I'm not that _fond_ of bats. But I appreciate them. ;) )

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Can you express that in American wings?

Nah, I know... about six feet, six inches. That's a good-sized boid.

12. "Oh, yeah? You and whose forklift?"

:rofl: JUST the laugh I needed to set me off on my two-hour commute. Thank you, my friend! :rofl:

:pals:

[Heidi]

13. He's got sort of a bad catitude once in a while.

So glad you can start your mornin' drive with a smile, gf. :hug: :loveya:

7. I love owls!

I think it would take a very large one like the Great Horned Owl to take Lucy away.
