Gavin,
So are you fattening them up for a future dinner?? :bwahaha:
Just kidding. I know a lot of cat lovers who tease people about eating cats, etc. :grin:
In Germany my landlord referred to "Cats" as Roof Rabbits. This comes from the time after WW-II when there was not much food around and people would sell skinned, beheaded and de-footed cats as rabbits. He had recently purchased several rabbits from some guy and gave one to me. To insure they were rabbits and not skinned, and beheaded cats, they leave the feet on with the fur and you can easly see the difference between a cat's paw and a rabbit's foot.
Just a little tidbit of trivia that may or may not be usefull in the future...:grin:
