Laughter

Did I ever tell ya bout the time.....I scared a cat. Ya see, there was this fish'n pier in Port Aransas what I frequented bout 3 or 4 times a week.....at night when the speckled trout was eat'n supper. That pier ain't there no more 'cause some millionaire developers tore it down and built a bunch of high dollar houses. But anyhows, people used to drop off their cats at the pier what they didn't want no more. The ones that survived the constant attacks of the coyotes were a rough bunch to deal with. They would sneak up on ya an' steal your bait right out your bait bucket. Or what ever else was considered a likely meal for a hungry cat. This one cat in particular, bruised and scared, was one mean dude. He attack me on more than one occasion when I trap him out on the end of the pier, bark'n an' growl'n at him like some kind fool. Well, one late evening while the sun was just descending beyond the horizon, I spy'ed that damn cat tak'n a nap out there on the pier. He were sound asleep, not a care in the world. Very quietly I sneeks up on that cat...with mischievous thoughts in my mind. This is gonna be cool and funny. What is that cat gonna do when he wake up? I starts growl'n an' bark'n like a vicious dog.....boy howdy, glad nobody see me do'n that. That cat cat come slap alive. He jump straight up in the air bout 2 foots....all puffed up and mak'n some god awful hiss'n sounds. Off the pier he go right into the water, 15 feets below and 50 feets from shore. He swimed in circles, not know'n what the hell is go'n on. Then he was full awake, and pissed. Got his bearings calculated in his mind an' head for shore. Damn, he swim pretty darn good for a cat. As he climbs to safety up on the rocks, he turns round and gives me one them looks....like "I gonna git you for this".



Many years ago I would laugh at just bout anything. Laugh so hard I would get a headache. Well, last night I watched a movie what brought back that laughter. It was a Chinese ju gitso, karate, kung fu, climb up walls, fly through the air kind of movie. It was broadcast on one the Mexican channels, so naturally I had no freak'n idea what the hell they were say'n.....what make it that much more funny. I stayed up till 2:30 am watch'n that damn movie....with a split'n headache. Felt good to laugh again.

Need to make that dreaded trip to Walmart to refill my meds and probably spend a hunnert dollars on useless junk I don't need. I am out of donuts and chicharones, so it won't be a wasted trip.

  2. Absolutely guarantee If I ever see a cat coming toward me and looking that, I will take off in the opposite direction faster then ever thought possible.

  3. Yes Dizzy, an aspirin and a few laughs helps to forget.

    LOL Bob, on another occasion, I had that same cat trapped on the end of the pier with no where to go but in the water or through me. When he gave me that look, I gave him plenty room to exit.

  4. I think it is shameful that people go and abandon pets in the middle of nowhere rather than get them fixed so they wont have unwanted litters.

    I had no idea cats could swim.

    Glad you were able to laugh and have a good time watching that movie.

    One night in Houston I came upon some Korean, Vietnamese or some sort of oriental station and had a ball just listening to them talk.

  7. We have 4 cats in our home, hubby doesn't like them but I do, they adore him wouldn't you know it..all were given by our daughter and the other 3 abandoned, they are sweet but our daughters cat is a big girl and if you get crazy with her she will rip you good a fellow on the hottest day we had that summer kept saying what a big kitty she was and tried to pick her up and smooch on her, she tore into him and he had to get stiches and apologize to me and our sweet baby girl as I call her, never ever try to sneak up on a big girl and try to smooch on her on the hottest damn day of the year, the fellow never did that again and is actually a bigtime cat lover, taking in abandoned pets and treating them the cats he takes in well and sensibly, no one cat or human puts up with much on a day over 103 here in our tint town, shame on you for trying to hurt that abandoned cat, I hope you respect kitty cats now, they cannot defend themselves when they are abandoned and get into a tizzy when humans torment them..I hope you learned your lesson billy bob!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. Breeding finches is not as hard as many would think.
    Substrate: Inside of its large enclosure, water dragons need multiple branches or vines
    to climb and bask upon. These lizards can weigh 11 pounds on average and can grow up to roughly 6.
