Thanks for that pic oxfan, those cats are truly beautiful. There are certain members of the human race that are so evil that it's impossible to figure out why they're like that. Anyway i don't want to know, i just don't want to hear about them or have anything to do with them.

You're bang on the button as well about the warning issue. Well known fact that most sadists, murderers, started out hurting animals before going on to do it to people. That's why i said it would be appropriate to find this person and get him analyzed to find out what the hell's wrong with him, because anyone who thinks that an appropriate thing to post on a guitar forum has got serious problems.

His age is no excuse either, if anything that makes it worse.

I feel a bit better now after seeing those beautiful cats though, thanks.

Never seen a cat that had any problem with being cruel to other animals.

Those cats are just gorgeous oxfan. We have a cat that we adopted, or rather he adopted us! he stayed with people near us but they weren't very kind to him so he saw us and decided he was moving in!

This cat is called Sooty and it intimidates you into giving up your chair and then it jumps up and cuddles up into the warm seat! It actually sits in front of you and stares at you as if to say "hey you! get off that chair! i want it!"

The best part is i usually give in to it!

Absolutely Oxfan, though caging a cat is still very cruel. No matter how big the cage.
I posted that hoping for some kind of knee jerk response from somebody. I'm half glad I didn't get one.

Though I have a cat (Winston), I'm not really a cat person. I try to treat Winston with the same level of nonchalance with which he treats me. It doesn't always work though. Sometimes I crack and have to give him a fuss.

Yes, I've seen cats playing with maimed birds and mice, basically torturing them and appearing to enjoy it until they grow bored and bite the head off. It's not a pretty sight and yes, it makes you look differently at your pet after you see that side. I do expect more from humans though.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Yeah absolutely being victim to crime doesn't give licence to reciprocate in kind.

Why I just can't justify the death sentence to myself.

Oxfan this may sound incredible but your 2 cats have almost identical markings as 2 of mine.The mostly grey one is almost a dead ringer for Tiddy our only female cat except for Tiddy's white mask is almost symetrical otherwise including the socks she's a ringer.The markings on the other cat are almost the same as on Scruffy the feral cat that we took in and finally house broke.I'll have to get Blinkers to have a look,he'll think that he's seeing things.
