Dumb Comments

The shop "Mascot" used to be my cat, Hemi. Until one of the neighbors spiked a ball of hamburger with rat poison and killed her. She'd hang around the office, claiming everything of mine as 'hers' :D Seat of my duster : hers, my coat : hers, chevy repair manual.... : bed :glasses7:



Customers would constantly say "Oh you named him after the car?" (well they do get points..half of them.. for at least knowing it was a car related name... deduct those points for not listening when I referred to Hemi as a girl) at least 30 customers said "Oh yeah, I've had a few of those, they were always boys" What they failed to realize is that would be impossible to have so many male torties, Tortie Cats (like Hemi) have of Female to Male ratio of about 99.99% to 00.01% due to the genetic mutation that causes their abnormal fur.
What a pretty heart ! I have an American Shorthair Calico who's going to turn 10 in May 8-) .
Male Calico and Tortie cats are super rare , just as you've stated . I've seen exactly one in all my 41 years ; a Japanese friend of mine had a Japanese Bobtail , Calico markings , and nuts ! I about fell-over !

Regarding that bottom-feeder who poisoned your kitty :
Is this *neighbour* still alive ? If some worthless piece of **** like that hurt or killed one of my cats (or even a 'feral' cat for that matter) , I'd make certain that the motherf**ker didn't want to try that kind of **** again :mumum: . He'd be damned lucky if I didn't outright kill him !
I think that I'd make a poison hamburger for that scum bag (without his knowledge , and just enough poison to make him violently ill) and feed it to him ; just sit with him at lunchtime , and watch him eat it :tool:.
