My new sports jacket is very brightly orange.



Also, I walked 5K in 1:05 h -- personal best. Must be the very, very familiar route to the old castle by the river Rhine that I often walk with my mum. She kept the time, and I just walked.-

It's very entertaining to watch! The cats have totally figured the game out (they are feral and smart). I always leave the cat door open so they can come in when they are hungry or when it is cold outside but Kaylee is warned not to go near them. So they literally will walk right up to her and hiss and Kaylee backs up. It is hilarious to witness!

Awwww! Cats will be the terror of the earth, if they can get away with it.

You know once the guys are neutered they are passive, right? That's why barn owners won't keep the males. Chop their manhood off and they will never kill another mouse. So I have the males here (the females go to the barns -- they will hunt, whether they have babies or not) because they can't survive on their own. So to see them assert themselves with a 75 pound dog is hilarious! She could break their backs with one crunch.

My cats try to hunt things, even though they had their manhoods duly chopped off!

Really?

Huh.

My experience (and the experience of everyone around here -- and some of these barns have been around for 40 years or more) is that the guys don't hunt. That's why the barn owners won't take them. They only want females.

Maybe it is different for cats raised in captivity? These come to us from the wild and somehow removing the testosterone makes them completely passive (you can pick them up after you neuter them, even if they don't like you. I can grab Leopold and hold him; before, he would have taken my flesh off).
