what i could do without is the random leaving of arachnid legs around the house.

Beats finding a cats' leg knowing that Shelod is just around the corner or on the ceiling!!!

Hi Dave

Yep I like most animals - I'm even rather fond of spiders.
Many's the reckless arachnid I've saved from the jaws of my cats

I'm glad the Norrpusses have rid NorrTowers of the 8 legged beasties. what i could do without is the random leaving of arachnid legs around the house.

Cat - Yes. And dogs, horses, snakes, chinchilla's, rabbits, guinea pigs ( hi Pogle ) in fact pretty much all animals, and they seem to like me most of the time.

The only ones I really dont get on with are spiders.

A couple of years ago we had a 10 year old kid and his mum from down the road knock on our door. The kid had 4 nice red lines down the side of his face and was crying. His mum was furious.

"We want to have your tabby cat put down as it attached my Toby (or whatever his name was)" she went on.

Now admittedly the cat was the neighbourhood bruiser and could be a little mean but would never do anything like that. My wife knelt down to Toby and said "Are you sure you didn't do anything to make the cat hurt you?"

"Well I might have pulled the cat's tail....." came the reply.

for the cat

Spiders dont really have personalities.

My friend would disagree.

They can be quite "bristly" at times.

And that "creepy thing they do with their legs" is just a show.

When unobserved, they actually tap dance their way along.

Which explains why they are often found near or in sinks.

Spiders dont really have personalities. The only spider I ever knew with a real persona was that one from Harry Potter, you know , the talking spider. And Shelob.

They'll fight if they need to. A few years ago a notorious cat hater in our village managed to grab hold of a 3 month old kitten that was playing about in his garden. The cat hater is now known to everybody as ‘scarface’.

Yes I do. I hate them whilst secretly admiring them.
I also torment them when I've had ten pints of ale by buzzing them with my remote controlled chinook

I think you'll find they enjoy it, otherwise they'd just wander off and go to sleep somewhere.

I was born in the year of the cat, so I should have some of their characteristics. I do admire their ability to walk away when that's the right thing to do, despite being armed to the teeth.

'Course another way of describing that is to say that predators are all cowards.

No you don’t. You secretly admire their ‘f**k you’ attitude to anything and everyone.

As soon as a water pistol based sentry cannon is available, we will be installing one in the back garden.

It will hopefully stop the foxes from shagging there in the summer too...

The missus is a real cat lover, so I have to tolerate them. We have four and what amazed me is that they all have a very distinct personality. They are very different to each other.
They also communicate quite well, and they have a large vocabulary. (well, larger than a non-cat person would imagine)
