(this picture has not been photoshopped in any way - that really is the size of this tom cat. The female is the size of your average house cat)12
DE : Actual cat rave Some German nature filmmakers found lots of cats at a big catnip plant (presumably the cats were the locals pets and simply knew about this spot)

Dead dogs. good to see the police still have absolutly no common sense. wankers. :yakk:
Two police dogs have died in a hot vehicle parked outside the headquarters of Nottinghamshire Police.
An RSPCA officer was called to the Sherwood Lodge headquarters in Arnold on Tuesday and found two German shepherd dogs dead.
An independent vet is carrying out post-mortem tests to establish how the animals died.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said the force should investigate the deaths with the RSPCA.

Super size pets? how long have they been selling packs of go-cat the same size as humans' cereal boxes?
I'm sure i've never seen these outside East Anglia but there were some in the village co-op...
They look like you could feed all the inmates of the cats' home - but I suspect what is happening is these boxes are being devoured daily by two or three cats
I have seen some of the fattest cats in this county in 15 years of observing them - funniest one was a neighbours cat who sat on a post in my garden whilst I was cooking my tea and tried to do the "poor starving kitty" thing.
I just burst out laughing...
wtf! people are wierd. Their beloved dogs may have gone to the great kennel in the sky, but for Beth and Brian Willis they will always be close.
Because the couple have had his and hers jumpers knitted out of the hair moulted by the pedigree pets and spun into yarn.
And they insist the bizarre garments keep them warm and dry no matter how bad the winter weather gets.

CAT DIARY
Day 983 of my captivity.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.
Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of " allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage..
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow - but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.
The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is
safe -- For now.
Sleep with your door closed, infidels... I will prevail!!12
Using domestic pets to get round net delays and censorship was discussing this on another forum. these days there is a risk of censorship / interception of net traffic, plus slow connections, so I worked out you could attach one of them USB memory tags to a pets collar, and send the animal on a mission to deliver the data to your friends house - a bit like a high tech "Lassie"...
anyway these were my thoughts..
"the encryption protocol would be stored on the tag, its the data transfer speed that is dependent on the dog - a lurcher or whippet type breed should deliver the data faster than if someone borrowed their aunts elderly Golden Retriever.
You could even use cats but unless they were prepared to wear collars (many cats know how to deliberately snag the collar and get rid of it because of the safety elastic) and suitably rewarded with food at each end it would increase jitter and packet loss.."
JP : Chimps beat students in memory tests I need help with some data entry, perhaps I should borrow a few chimps from Colchester zoo?
Chimpanzees have an extraordinary photographic memory that is far superior to ours, research suggests. Young chimps outperformed university students in memory tests devised by Japanese scientists.
The tasks involved remembering the location of numbers on a screen, and correctly recalling the sequence.
The findings, published in Current Biology, suggest we may have under-estimated the intelligence of our closest living relatives.
