Just tried - it appears to be somewhat less than dead, but incredibly sleepy


. . Yep, if you are patient you might score a response, I just posted a message in SETI orphans (after a loooonnng wait).

Probably because the "milk" used in MuckyDee's milk shakes is more a product of a chemical factory than a cow.


. . such cynicism ... :)

Finally got around to reading the "milkshake" article.
It's more a matter of lack of lorry drivers.
It's probably more a case of obsessive business central control. Why aren't the "restaurants" (as they like to call them) supplied with milk from local cows via local dairies?

What's the food-mile cost of supplying every ingredient from a centralisd distribution depot?


. . I think it is more a matter of contracts. The suppliers vie for the large and lucrative clients like Maccas.

The ones I had would look at them from on top of the couch, laugh at them, yawn and roll over to continue to sleep.

Mine is a mouser.
After she catches one, she brings it into the house to show me, and to play with it.
Then gets careless and it gets away, and I have to find it. :(


. . I had one like that too many years ago. She would alert us to her return with muffled mews to present with a mouthful of what seemed to be a dead rat hanging out both sides (a big monster it would be, no small game for her) only to drop it on the floor and while she was waiting for her applause it would get up and head for the hills. But while we would all scramble after it, it was mostly her that caught it again. I think she enjoyed watching us stumble about the place .... ;-)

If y'all would post some stuff we could get over 10K and let everyone sleep.

New study shows Domestic cats prefer to be served instead of hunting for food


. . Methinks the test was essentially and fatally flawed. The "food" in the puzzle portion should have made squeaking noises, smelt like mice and moved furtively around in the puzzle. The numbers would have been reversed. If anyone doubts that try telling it to the mice my red headed mate has disposed of ... <shrug>

Some cats are mousers, and some run and hide from mice. All depends if mommy taught them to hunt.


. . That's an interesting observation. In this case I am the mommy, I raised them both from 1 week old, and I definitely did not teach them to hunt. Though they did have the empty cardboard toilet roll centres to play with and one furry toy all of which they gave hello to. I guess mine are self taught. But I will concede that the redhead is far more enthusiastic and profficient than his tabby brother.

Edit: I'm waiting for people to spell hi's or his' (instead of his) as they already do her's.


. . Hi's would be a most creative misspelling, more so than his' even though that is bizarre enough!
