Get leather gloves to handle the claws when you feed them.

I dislike cats and I'd say I came by that for what I consider a valid reason. While walking through an alley as a young child of about seven, a stray cat jumped out of an elevated garbage can, landed on my head and proceeded to scratch my eyelids 'til they bled. When I pulled him off, he, of course, proceeded to scratch them even more as he was being thrown from the top of my head.

We lived in an apartment on the 2nd floor at the time and one day I caught that same cat in a porch corner and threw him off the porch, thinking it would be payback. Naturally, he flipped over about two feet from the ground after about a 25-foot drop and ran away as if nothing had happened. I now realize that it was unfair to do that, since that cat only did what came natural to him.

Perhaps that's way some here feel that they have a bone to pick with Dak for the letdown that they felt Dak caused them. I think the OL's poor pass protection had much to do with his decline, along with Elliott's being suspended and poor play by the WRs. In any case, he'll be afforded the chance to flip over, just like that cat did to get away, unharmed. Anyhow, I'd venture to say that life can bring on some pretty odd lessons sometimes. ;)
It's funny you mention it. Initially, I had included a short story of why I spent a good portion of my adult life hating cats. I ultimately clipped it because this was getting a bit long, but the short of it was a neighbors cat bit my hand when I tried to let it sniff it (you know, like you would do for a dog). When I put my hand down, he did a ninja flip in the air, latched on to my arm and bit my hand. I ended up with a staph infection that turned my hand into a softball. True story!

jday, you don't know how lucky you are. my wife and daughter help out a local shelter and "foster" young mothers and their kittens.

we currently have 3 mothers and 13 kittens varying from 2 weeks to 6 months here (and 1 adult of our own). UGH

it is teaching my daughter some responsibilities though and i am all for that.:)

hows this football related? kind of too long to read as well..

Ok read the rest long winded but yes its culmination of all what we think here and will be debated forever as it was the line drawn between Romo supporter and Romo Haters..it happens:)
You gotta keep reading to get to the Cowboys stuff...that said, what I contribute is definitely not for everybody.

Funny you mention it. I had included a break down at how stupid this latest accusation is, but ultimately decided to delete it because it didn't real fit in this. I think for the most part, even those who don't think Dak is the QB of the future, recognize that Romo's body finally gave up. We knew it. The Cowboys Organization knew it. And Romo knew it, which is why he conceded the position to Dak. When I see someone bring that accusation up, I tend to not even bother with responding. If they are dumb enough to think that, they aren't smart enough to learn better. :thumbup:

My only real issue at this point is that wake up I discussed in the OP. 6 kittens screaming they are hungry is not a pleasant way to start your day!
well we have the mother cats for that, thank goodness.

also between my wife, daughter and owner of the cat shelter they adopted out 37 kittens in the last 32 days. pretty awesome.
