All I can say is "You can put a cat in an oven, that don’t make it a biscuit."
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

Thankfully, Snoopy is still a dog.

I don't know. Depending upon the size of the cat it might just be considered a canape.tanstaafl2 wrote:I agree, more like a roast I should think. A peculiar roast but a roast all the same...BackInTex wrote:All I can say is "You can put a cat in an oven, that don’t make it a biscuit."

I know Ghost loves her cat and I am a jerk, but I see the juxtaposition of the thread headers and wonder what if the test showed Ghost Kitty is not a cat?
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

That's a fair point. Although a canapé is more like a kitten I should think to truly be finger food!Beebs52 wrote:I don't know.

I always wondered if she (the mythical girl) was just saying, "Hello, Kitty!"

I dunno what "the test" is, but Tucker(Monster) is a cat.
And may Hello Kitty never develop bladder stones. Or try to maul their vet & have to be sedated, anaesthetized, etc.

And if the test is # of legs walked on, Tucker walks on 4. Most of the time.
