Outside my local bottleshop it always smells of cat piss....

Perhaps the smell arouses their territorial instincts?

After all, it just takes the first trail-marking tomcat to start a tradition.



Hiking across yards of barren concrete, no food anywhere, just to piss on someone else's piss?

Australian feral cats may all be creatures of the bush, but in civilized countries urban feral toms take their territorial imperatives very seriously. Why use the doorway of the bottle shop as a latrine? Because it is there.

A bottle shop is a State Store.

It's guard-cat piss, of course. After hours, the cat is chained out front to ward off would be burglars and to discourage loitering. You don't see the guard-cat during the day time because he's got a little efficiency apartment across town, where he grows basil in pots on the windowsill.

msolga, we never talk anymore. We seem to have drifted apart.

What went wrong?

Where did the magic go?

Go caterwaul at Msolga on HER threads!

We could, couldn't we?

I'd like that!

But right now do you think we should do the right thing & talk about cat pee, given that this is what Deb's thread is about?

I'm shocked by this, Deb

Truly shocked.

Ok, cat pee it is. Last I fired up a couple slices of pizza. I was quite hungry and as I finished the first slice of pizza and turned toward the table I noticed the last slice was no longer there but rather on the floor where my cat had placed it and was now in the process of consuming. I let out a scream and charged the cat, scaring the piss out of her.

Is that appropriate for this thread?

I guess I never realized how possessive people were of their threads.

Is that so?

But that wasn't what my shock was about.

Ah not to worry.

Cat's pee, let's continue about cat's pee ...
