Preparedness for when

thriftwizard

Interesting conversation - if a bit rambling and very American - lots of food for thought.

This is an interesting article. See if you spot the similarity between tally sticks and pound notes, and let's hope that the 'king' doesn't default on the ones he has issued.

Buggalugs went out at 0515 yesterday, and casually strolled back in, about 10 minutes ago.

She treats this place like a hotel.

I suppose cats are quite sensible in getting themselves two or three carers, aren't they? If your only carer died, where would you be?

Even cats understand 'preparedness for when SHTF'.

And you're the staff.

My son told me an.interesting fact yesterday, and it also was on Have I Got News For You last night. Apparently domestic cats have some of the same neurotic and aggressive traits as wild cats, and while they are schmoozing around you, they are secretly plotting to kill you.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Not all of them.

My parents have two cats, sisters. One of them is a mongrel of some kind of oriental species. They way she looks at you at times makes you very glad she only weighs 4 kg. And then she catches you thinking that and gets this uh-oh, nearly rumbled me there expression and immediately starts to make like a loving puddytat. Darned animal could earn an oscar for her performances. She is presently curled on an armchair impersonating a cushion, I'm told.

Her fluffy sister is a bit blonde and doesn't have an ounce of malice in her body, unless you happen to have four paws and a skinny scaly tail, in which case all bets are off and the hunt is on.:rotfl:

What a catastrophe that would be.

Give cats their due though - and I've read various tales about cats saving their owners lives (be it from fire or spotting the owner had an illness like cancer before the owner themselves realised).

Of course they could just be protecting their meal ticket:rotfl:

.....and no I am still resisting the wiles of a particular little furry near here.

This is a scary example of a time a BOB might come in handy:
