Re: Pop's Last Ride -- News Author: Wes Payne Email: n9548326@wwu.cc.edu Date: 1998/10/27 Forums: alt.tasteless ObT: Woke up to the cat licking my face, which means I'm either very filthy, or he's very hungry. One of these days, he'll get big enough, bored enough, and hungry enough to just decide "Aw, fuckit" and start digging for my jugular. I wouldn't think such a thing was possible, had I not known of cats that had actually killed dogs. Not big cats killing little dogs. Big cats killing big dogs. The big cat in particular was a piss-mean Siamese that'd basically attach itself to the face of the dog-du-jour (a-la Alien) and rake its throat with its hind claws (typically done to other cats in an attempt to eviscerate them). The stricken dog would then bleed to death if the owner wasn't able to hold the panicking pup down long enough to bandage the ragged wound. I don't remember if these killings were done in self-defense or out of spite. I guess there weren't enough eyewitnesses to the attacks, only to the aftermath. Why does this concern me? My cat's part Siamese. The big part. Nice kitty...
