Capt.Crow Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 A short history :- Maggot was a Big black female. When she was younger she would bring in little presents . robin frog leveret once a mink < how she beat that one remains a mystery . Her problem was she would also deposit in a hidden corner ,only to be traced with the olfactory system. Phew! So Maggot got herself banned from the house. She lived in the shed and came to the door for her dinner. and a drink of water . She hated milk. Well she lived until she was 25 yrs old and just vanished one day never to be seen again . But she left a legacy . Every now and then in my travels in the nearish vicinity I see a dark shadow passing through the brush and for a moment I will see a black cat with exactly the same white flash on the top of it's head . I miss her company as she was the one constant in my life for those twenty-five years . :'( 3 wives But only one cat. I hope she is doing well in whatever place she is now . 2
ebrke Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) An outdoor cat like that probably went away to be alone to die--not uncommon. I know what you mean about a constant in your life--I picked up one stray as a kitten and lived with him for almost 19 years--longer than both my marriages combined. Edited June 29, 2014 by ebrke 1
V.T. Eric Layton Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I could tell kitty stories for hours here. Suffice to say, I have a few. I love them all. 2

Capt.Crow Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 You can really write . There's a book in you just waiting to break out. Excellent :star: :star: 1
Guest LilBambi Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I remembered it too. In fact, I had replied to it when Eric wrote it.
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I've been known to occasionally toss a few decent words together to form something entertaining or informative. It's a rare thing, though.
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 You're too kind. Â Are you taking those "happy" pills again, Temmu?
Guest LilBambi Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Eric is a very good writer and has a great story that he has posted on one of his blogs previously and then later posted PDF files of it here or on another blog. Â Very imaginative story .... Sure Eric knows the one of which I speak.
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Yes, remind me to post a link to it around Halloween. 1
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I wasn't going to criticize, but the look on Anubis' face is probably caused by eye strain from that wallpaper pattern. 1
securitybreach Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 I wasn't going to criticize, but the look on Anubis' face is probably caused by eye strain from that wallpaper pattern. Â Yeah, it was like that when I moved in.... Kind of girlish...
ebrke Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) I had wallpaper something like that once in an apartment. If you stared at it long enough, you could swear the vines were growing. Edited July 3, 2014 by ebrke 1
Guest LilBambi Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Renters mainly need to just take care of what they are renting. Not much choice there. Â Anubis is beautiful though!

V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 In my backyard, the food and water bowls are shared by the cats, the squirrels, the raccoons, the opossums, the birds, the ants, etc. I feed the world. 2
abarbarian Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Spot the cat. Â Â snapped whilst on me river trip. Â Â It is not a real cat. A York architect loves cats and always puts one on any building he works on. Â Â 2
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I can't see it in the first pic, but I found it in the other two.
abarbarian Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Darned if I can see any cat. Â Click on the picture to gain a bigger view. Â I can't see it in the first pic, but I found it in the other two. Â That was a trick pic, well spotted. It is there to show the location of the other pics. Edited July 10, 2014 by abarbarian
Guest LilBambi Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Yep, 2nd pic it's 'shadow' is quite clear...
