.... and become a DOTL commander within days of conquering the household. :B
I'm glad to see that someone remembers the glory days the DOTL, when any superhero pet could aspire to DOTL High Command. Goodness knows, with all the evil afoot in the universe today, the DOTL are needed more than ever before. Gen. Gretchen is fast approaching retirement, but like most old warriors, will not admit it. She has been very busy with training 1LT. Inga in the ways of the DOTL, before she is no longer able.
I fear the ranks of the DOTL have diminished over these past years, and evil has noticed. Gen. Gretchen has told me that she will not retire, not surrender to evil, as long as there is a breath in her body. She senses something is brewing, her urgency a telltale sign.
The DOTLphone rings. The feline voice at the other end is faint, but audible, "DEFCON2 has been declared. There has been a . . . " The line goes dead before Gen. Gretchen can reply.dspencer wrote:
I have a spare cat and live in MO. I will deliver her all the way too Ballwin MO. Now of course I haven't asked the DW about that but I have found that it may be easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission. :B
There is no such thing as a "spare" cat, just a household with not enough litter boxes.
Good luck on getting forgiveness...
I think a female Maine coon with an attitude would be the ideal DOTLDADDY cat. She'll put the dogs in their place, clear out the rodents, provide extra fur to keep her human staff warm, and become a DOTL commander within days of conquering the household. :B- Maybe Miss Inga will share hers...
- How did you know my wife? :B While I appreciate the offer of sharing your dog house with your husband I won't need it, she will catch up to me and well you know the rest. :E

We're missing the point here, people! The point is: WALTER HAS NO CAT! That is clearly unacceptable! Let's all work on a transport relay and get a nice, big ol' fuzzy cat to Missouri! Who's in???
I'll start! I'll do the first leg, from Hadlock to the ferry terminal in Port Townsend. (This assuming someone else provides the cat.) That takes care of the first 9.5 miles...only 2,150.4 miles to go!:)
I will start and finish it, I have a spare cat and live in MO. I will deliver her all the way too Ballwin MO. Now of course I haven't asked the DW about that but I have found that it may be easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission. :B
DEAL! But I'm leaving the map up for your convenience. I think that once you drop the cat off you're going to need a place to hide far, FAR away from Missouri, and there's room for one more in my Husband's dog house here in Hadlock. Let me know which ferry you're coming in on and I'll pick you up!
This of course assuming you make it this far before your Wife catches up with you....
- Ooooh, sounds like the plan is coming together! In no way, though, was I thinking of a sweet little squirrel size kitty. I was thinking more that we could come to the aid of those nice people we saw on news earlier this year. You know, the ones cowering in the corner of their bedroom and calling 9-1-1 while their devil cat terrorized them. Gretchen and Inga would not have a problem with that kitty, I'm thinking. As for what to feed him, well, obviously, anything he wants!
:E :B - Walter, I'm told her name is Kitty. They say she's real soft and cuddly. However, I'mmmmmmmm not sure if she plays well with, .... anyone. Unless she's hungry of course, then you'll have a minute or so of play time, before, well, you know. ... :B
Presently we're working in Phoenix. Would've been great to meet up with you'all, but tough when we're on contract working 7 days a week and all.

Judy, I have been informed by Gretchen and Inga that, were we to get a cat, they could not be held responsible for their actions. :E They have this thing about small, furry, four legged creatures that run fast and climb trees. Normally, that would be a squirrel, but I'm just saying . . . . :R
I do, however, really appreciate the length and distance that some of you are willing to go in my behalf.:C:) To brave the winter hazards crossing the mountains and plains of our great country to deliver a cute little kitty to our doorstep brings tears of . . . uhhh . . . anyway, it brings tears to my eyes.
As Dr. Doug mentioned, we will soon be on the move to warmer climes. Our winter destination will even further from Port Townsend, WA. So, Francesca, I must insist you do not embark on such a long and hazardous journey! I am only thinking of your safety! :E
Pops, your kitty does sound interesting. What is it's name? Does it play well with big dogs? We are going to out in Tucson in March next year. How far are you from there? Maybe we can set up a "play date". :@ BTW, what kind of cat food do you give it?:@:B Lisaren wrote:
I have lost three cats to kidney/bladder problems over the last 26 years and have wondered if the food plays a roll in their problems. So actually, I am on a quest to find the best cat food I can. I was feeding a high protein food, but the local stores have quit carrying it. Off to do more research.
I'm not a cat person, but on a pet food forum I'm a member of, it's recommended that cats not be fed dry food for this reason. They should always be fed canned food. The reason seems to be that cats, by nature, don't drink enough water, and that they need the canned food to provide enough moisture in their diet to avoid kidney/bladder problems, crystals, etc.
