Did you see that they are free? That's a marketing gimmick. You want one of these, no in fact you have to get one!
Let's see...........my wife is a cat person. So am I but with rationale. We already have 5 in the house and that many outdoors. So it seems everytime someone else has a 'cat problem' it ends up being our problem. Imagine me surprise this am hearing strange sounds from a bedroom I just spent 3k remodeling for the last 6 months off and on and opening the door to find 2 manx male kittens.
Apparently they were headed to the pound which is where my wife could be heading im seriously pissed at her right now.
So now she has the bright idea they can stay in my insulated small shop area for the winter......where the other outdoor cats will be? Plus I paint items in there.....not with a spray gun.....everything I build will be identifiable by cat prints now.
Time is running out because the wife is growing attached to them so if anyone here would like one let me know asap and I will try and talk her out of it. It's not that I don't like them but this getting to be like that Trouble with Tribbles Star Trek episode.
I am near Kansas City so not sure how we could work out? Perhaps overnight FedX with air holes in the box?

they ship better in a bottle with plenty of peanuts to keep the glass from breaking.

LMAO at the kittens but that fish is coyote ugly to the max. It is even too ugly to be funny. I feel really sorry for that fish. Do you think that it knows it is really ugly?
Sorry, I am too far away and my son is allergic to them. I do like a nice cat though. Jim

Never owned a mudskipper. I hear they make some good bait?
Have had three cats and three dogs, all at the same time. Dogs can go to the desert with me, cats - eh, not so much. Although my last boss and his wife used to take their cat to Baja with them in their camper! Now that I think of it, I've seen a couple of gals out at Quartzsite that had two cats on leashes they were taking for a stroll.
No more cats for me, sorry. I hope you can find good homes for those tailess wonders.

Judging by tonight's activities it's looking as if im stuck with them. I did however tell her id rather them be in the house than in my shop and she was all too happy to oblige. I spend more of my waking hours in the barn instead of in here the so the decision was easy lol. I can't have 50 cats crawling all over stuff im trying to work on nothing worse than being in a contorted predicament and one of your helpers insists on having their ass in your face while the other one knocks the bolt off into an unreachable location. Of course my great dane wasn't much better but that's a story im not going to tell.

My favorite cats have always been the ones at other peoples houses. being able to leave them there makes them so much more adorable.

robsrockshop - dude I am sorry I stepped all over your thread. I guess it was the futility of giving away free cats on a rock forum that gave me "internal" permission to proceed. Best of luck with your new cat haven.
