>>Seems as if you, Croc and Justin are long-lost kin of some kind. As for me, I seem to be an orphan.<<< Hmm. I've kind of felt like an orphan until I met some people here. Hey! I asked the vet the age of that cat, and he said 6-8 years. I asked did it make a difference to neuter him then, and he said definitely. That within about a month the testosterone is all leached out and they won't usually fight over anything but their food. He said he's been beating and getting the crap beat out of himself and dozens of kitties, from the amount of scar damage on him; and that we probably caught The Great White of the neighborhood. Yippee! He was one tough mother, everyone agreed. Wild and ugly. When Stumpy and Lupita go out, they look both ways. Poor guys. When I walked to school in the 2nd grade, a girl would beat me up. Sheesh. I got him shots and flea advantage, and it cost me 68.oo I am expecting to be reimbursed in heaven. Since he cost us 400.00 for kitty fix-up, we probably saved the neighborhood thousands; and lots of kitties from being bullied. I am expecting to receive reverent alms from happy kitties in heaven. I dont think he's coming back here, either. He had a generally disagreeable experience. The vet has a sign on the building: "Animal Clinic Parking ONLY. All Others Will Be Neutered." Kind of small town humor. We're getting a new pedestrian bridge over the creek. This place is going high-class overnight. Sausalito revisited. It's ~ s c a r y. My Techie and I argue about it a lot. He thinks it's no big deal. He's such an idiot. We'll be getting our first signal soon. I have spent every day of the last 25 years never having to wait for a light. Never being "stopped." Oh boy. Progress. What a crock that concept is. I think progress would be if the town got spacier and less crowded, not hyped up to un-livable. I spose this is one of my BASIC reasons for misanthropy. Humans take space. I hate em. Period. They're no good. Worse than useless. I mean enough's enough. Work on improving the people and places we have. I saw a bumper sticker I like: "Save The Planet. Kill Yourself." Yes; I am a grouse. I like girls, though. I would probably even like that one from second grade.
