Subj : I'm only this weird because of my cat...

Mornin' Heather,

 I decided to stay up late to toss back a data packet for the
SETI@Home project and, since there was nothing good on the cat's
TV, I decided to browse the years of QWK pkts I have stored on
a CD. I knew/hoped that one series of msgs I got into with the
Co-Sysop of a BBS I was Files Monitor would be in the debris
and violet uh... violin.. veolah... aw heck, *POOFERS!*, I
finded it.

 Now, you have to understand that the thread got started
because both our cats were suffering hairball problems. This
is _WAY_ pre-Rats cat domination. Heh, the date of the pkt
was in 1996 and the cat I belonged to is named _Zeus_. (Why
not, they _think_ they're gods. :) Zeus is still around as
far as I know. When I moved I left him with family and last I
heard was he is living with another relation over in Tennessee.
Hes a tough ol' kitty, but doesn't travel well and bringing him
from Texas to Arizona would have been a pain. I just wonder how
they got him where he is right now.

 Anyways, the messages on treatments for furballs degraded
into the following mess which I post for your reading pleasure.
Gagging or giggling is acceptable. :-)

 Ok, to put things in perspective, the first furball comment is
by the Co-Sys and the next is mine. Then its Co-Sys, me, Co-Sys
and so on. We kept this up daily for half a month and there
would be _more_, but like my hair, I loose things with time. :/

 Isn't it wonderful what the deranged mind of a cat pet can
produce?
