Ace of Spades Pet Thread

Welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Glad you stopped by this afternoon. Grab some comfort food, a tasty beverage and enjoy the world of pets.

***

A Little of This. A Little of That.

Our Moron friend Hank Curmudgeon deserves a big thank you for all of the material he hat tips us with. This week is no different. Wonderful photography with Comedy and wildlife all wrapped into one.

Hey Mom, Look at me!

Thank you Hank.

Have you ever heard the expression, Look what the cat dragged in? Well in this situation quite the haul.

Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Police in Britain said a pet owner contacted authorities when their cat came home toting an unusual trophy -- a bag of drugs.
The Ashley Police Team in Bristol, England, said the cat came home with a bag that contained several smaller bags believed to contain illegal drugs.

Life Number 9, he went out with a FLASH.

Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Utility officials in New Orleans said 7,556 people were without power Monday due to a cat that wandered into a substation.
Entergy New Orleans said 7,556 customers lost power after a cat wandered into the substation about 8:30 a.m. and caused a flash by touching equipment.

Florida to get tougher on animal abusers.

Meet The PetMorons

Cat 1

Look, no feets! This is Shasha our most neurotic and paranoid rescue. We have had her for 3 years, we think she is around 6 years old.
Love all the critters on the pet thread, Dread Pirate Roberta.

Cat 2

Hi, this is Tiger Lily, she is our little Houston rescue. My husband fell for her at a PetSmart and brought her home. She thinks she owns the house. Small cat with a big attitude! Thanks for all you do, Dread Pirate Roberta.

No need to thank us here. We are thankful for all of our readers and our Morons who submit photos to us. Neat looking cats. Thanks for the submission.

***

Heard your inbox was a little bare last week. I’d be happy to help. We have Isabella the happy hound who loooooves her boat, and Rainy Bird who has an amazing amount of brain power for a one pound creature. She’s keeping an eye on things - making sure her underlings behave.
Enjoy the waning summer everyone. Laura

I know you've been waiting a while to see your pets in the thread. Thank you for your patience.

***

"Pocket" (I didn't name her), some kind of spotted tabby. Pretty dim even by cat standards, but affectionate. This is her post-bacon face-Doomed

She may be dim but appears to be very loved!!! Appreciate you submitting her photo.

***

Casts off back legs 2 weeks early! - Mrs. E

Looks like a full recovery? Woot-Woot!!!

***

First pic is Flash, who likes adjusting the fan to suit him. The second is our smallest little snot, Ralphie, who’s too cute for his own good. - nnptcgrad

Wow a submission of 5 doggehs. That's quite the crew you have there. I'm sorry only 2 made it today. Please resubmit the other 3 down the road sometime so they can say they are PetMorons.

***

Thanks again for stopping by. Hope you enjoyed yourself. Have a great week!!!!

When I was a kid, my sister had a cat who really was a hoot. I'll never forget one instance in particular. We had to give the cat pills for some malady and everything went off without a hitch. We'd been there before so knew how to get a cat to swallow pills.

About six months later we were in the dining room getting things ready for a holiday dinner. One of the things we did was move the table (pretty heavy it took multiple people) so we could vacuum the carpet. So we move the table and there are the pile of pills underneath one of the crosspieces supports. Perfectly hidden so if someone took a passing glance you wouldn't have seen them. The only way to see them was to literally move the table. We laughed for hours and hours. Hell I'm laughing now and this happened back in the 1980s. I gave the cat a hug just because you had to admire the sheer fucking balls of the whole thing, the cleverness of it.

I dunno where the "dumb cat" meme came from, because I have had both very smart and very dumb cats.

When Mrs. Franpsycho and I first started to date, my cat would pee in her shoes. We had to be sure her shoes were out of reach wheber she came to my place.

She used to complain that the kitteh was "glaring" at her.

77 Marcus T and NGU--

I agree. The response is just an offer to continue negotiations. I pray that Grassley finally says, "Um, nope. That was a real ultimatum."

Then the Dems will have to make the argument my six-year-old grandson makes with his parents: "You usually give in to me when I keep asking. I never thought that no actually meant no. That's not fair."

85 I dunno where the "dumb cat" meme came from, because I have had both very smart and very dumb cats.

When Mrs. Franpsycho and I first started to date, my cat would pee in her shoes. We had to be sure her shoes were out of reach wheber she came to my place.

She used to complain that the kitteh was "glaring" at her.

Posted by: San Franpsycho at September 22, 2018 03:40 PM (EZebt)

My cat, who passed away back in 2011, actually attacked my girlfriend. She was over lounging on the bed watching tv while I took a quick shower and my cat came into the room and went fucking apeshit. I could hear screaming while I was in the shower and hustled into the room and he had her backed into a corner. It was FUCKING TERRIFYING. He was making sounds even I'd never heard. I had to take him out of the room at arm's length because I was afraid I'd lose an eye. I slammed the door and my girlfriend was actually crying she was so scared. I was pretty shook up myself. About 30 minutes later I open the door and HE'S RIGHT THERE AND GOES AT HER AGAIN. It was unfuckingbelievable. Out he goes again and eventually he calmed down but wow. My girlfriend never liked being around him again after that until I went out of town a few years later to a funeral and she grudgingly agreed to look after him. It turns out that once she cleaned his litter box and fed him he thought she was the most awesome person in the world. There were times after that where we'd come home and he would go past me to greet her with a rub up against her leg. Even still though she would always flinch a bit when he came around. Craziest shit ever.

98 Statement that Judiciary should make:

Even if "proven" the Ford allegation against Judge Kavanaugh, concerning events alleged when he was 17 years old, are if not totally irrelevant, at best marginally relevant to any serious consideration of his present qualifications.

And, in light of that conclusion, unless there were definitive proof of such events, such as a prior conviction, or even concrete evidence from the time (such as a contemporaneous police report) it would serve no legitimate purpose to have "testimony" presented on such an issue that is inherently unverifiable, and collateral.

115 What about just hiding the pill in a clump of wet food?

Works a lot better for dogs than it does for cats-- most kittehs will lick off the food surrounding the pill and leave the pill behind. The technique I learned for giving liquid meds is to 1) have the drug dose in a syringe ready to go; 2) use the thumb and index finger of the nondominant hand to put pressure on the muscles at the side of the cat's jaw joint; 3) holding the syringe in the dominant hand, squeeze the medicine into the pocket inside the cat's cheek when the cat's mouth opens. The cat will swallow the liquid automatically even if it tastes terrible, and you don't have to worry about the liquid getting into the cat's windpipe.

Of course, always thank the kitteh for cooperating by giving a treat or two.

I just went through that with my little black cat. Eventually, I ground up the pill and mixed that in with a small clump of wet food. That won't work well for something that's time-released, though. The Heartgard meds are chewables that the cats will scarf up with zero resistance. I dunno why other meds intended for cats and dogs aren't like that.

"Christine Blasey Ford began worrying about her "secret" that Kavanaugh allegedly attacked her when they were teenagers after Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement in June, according to her husband, Russell Ford."

So she was worried about her secret to the point she considered leaving the country... but instead went and sent a letter about it to her commie-sympathetic Congresswoman, and then DiFi, thus making it no longer a "secret".

146 My cat Penny has to take a variety of meds. I give the heart pills to her twice a day. I don't know how this has happened, but she will eagerly jump on my lap in the am/pm to get them.

Once she's on my lap, I give her lots of love and petting, then kind of grab the top of her head, open her jaw using my index finger and thumb, and when her mouth is open, I sort of throw the pill in. I then close her jaw and rub her throat a bit to make sure she's swallowed it.

Most of the time it works. Sometimes she spits it out and I try again.

The method is rather inelegant, however, she gets her medicine at the same time every day. So... it works.

158 Just checked the Judiciary Committee calendar. The Executive Business meeting - the one where they will vote on Judge K and 9 others - is still on the Calendar for Monday morning at 10:00. Judge K is still on the list.

Until Grassley tweets something, or there's an official announcement of some sort from the Committee, I'm sensing there's NO DEAL.

My sense is that even if Professor TenderSnowflake agrees to testify, she'll come down with a stomach virus on the road trip across the country and will need at least 2-3... months to recover. Or the dog at her homework.

And has DiFi turned-over the original, un-redacted letter yet?

What do I want Grassley to do?

In the immortal words of Don Coreleone, I WANT HIM TO BE A MAN!

Or at the very least not be the dodering old fool who gets rooked by the evil and satanic forces that are the Democrat party.

To the best of my knowledge, the only thing that Grassley and the GOP lickspittles on the committee have seen, is the vague and redacted letter that she sent to her representative and ChiDi dumped upper decker style onto the body politic after the committee hearings concluded and they were going to move to vote Kavenoaugh out of committee.

No one on the GOP side has directly spoken to her, no one has gotten a bio of her, no one has gotten a sworn affidavit detailing in explicit terms the who, what, where, when of her allegation.

They got bupkis, ungatz, nada, nothing, zilch.

And in a Seinfeldian manner of accusations based on nothing, they have now offered to let her come in to the committee and smear Kavenagah and he doesn't have the opportunity to defend himself from this slander in the committee room as Grassley, piece of shit that he is, has allowed the accuser to speak AFTER the accused, violating every maxim and precept of our adversarial system of justice.

And as a shit cherry on top of the shit sundae, Kavenaugh will not be allowed to be in the same room as the accuser.

I'd say unbelievable but it's eminently believable.

The GOP is a useless pile of dog shit.

Absolutely, but he should have been confirmed last week and not have to face further harassment and humiliation at the hands of the evil and satanic forces arrayed against him and we the people.

If all it takes is some vague, impossible and implauseable allegations of sexual misconduct to derail a confirmation process than it's going to happen again and again and again and again.

We and the GOP have absolutely no idea who this woman is. NO. IDEA.

And she has now been given the dominus vobiscum to smear and slander a good man.

The longer this goes on the less likely it is that Kavenaugh is confirmed as the Democrats have seen they can muscle the process to their benefit.

You're exactly right. This is another load of lawyer horseshit.

She isn't ever going to testify. Grassley needs to sack up and move on to the vote and let the chips fall where they may. If Kav doesn't make it, so be it. Trump can give him a recess appointment.

I noticed that my Coco kitteh was starting to smell really foul while I was grooming her, so I checked her rear end to see whether she hadn't cleaned herself completely after using the litter box. (She has medium-long fur and went through a brief phase when she wasn't too efficient after using the box). I was startled to see that her rear end was red and inflamed, and that there was a reddish-brown stain on the damp cloth that I (very gently) wiped her with. Took Coco to the vet ASAP, and it turned out to be a yeast infection Vet gave her a shot of some antifungal drug and gave me a container of medicated wipes to cleanse her with twice a day for a week. It did the trick-- she hasn't had a recurrence. But the vet did tell me that yeast infections in cats' ears are more common than yeast infections of the anal area.

236 Chess thread up.

237 FWIW (probably nothing) - 14-minutes until the next "final" "deadline" expires

This actually made me laugh out loud. Not you, DocJ. Just that I didn't know there had been yet another deadline. OMG

238 That ain't gonna happen.

In a sane world, with Associate Justice Brett M Kavanaugh on the SCOTUS come 01OCT18? Completely agree.

Get back at me if The Flake, Suzie-Q and MoreCokeSki sink this nomination over this transparently obvious hit job.

For the record, I don't think that happens. Flake is all talk and if he doesn't fold neither will the other two.

239 Yes he is. Without him the ugly sisters will vote no.

240 bear, did they give you panalog for the ear infection?

Initially, at the emergency clinic, she got a shot and two pills to take over several days: meclizine, a vertigo drug, and a drug that started with a "c" for nausea. They produced results; she got to walking again.

Then at the follow-up for actually treating the issue, I got 2 things to put in her ears daily: Skinguard Otic Cleanse solution, which seems to just be for cleaning the ears, and Mometamax - a gooey gel meant to eliminate the infection.

241 Kav would be forced to resign from the D.C Court of Appeals also.

McConnell is a arrogant man and wants a legacy. Kav not on the court, stains his reputation.

what is his next move?

242 Meh, I don't think Supreme Court justices will be our biggest worry in the future.

That's sort of like the crew of the Titanic being concerned about burglars robbing the passengers' cabins.

I think immigration and education are our biggest worries. But a lot of what enables that is the judiciary. Something needs to be done about it.

243 Kav would be forced to resign from the D.C Court of Appeals also.

He'd almost immediately land a high-6, low-7 figure power job somewhere nice and sunny. And out of the limelight.

244 Dems will impeach Kav if he gets in. They play hardball. The GOP is JV.

245 I don't think so either. I appreciate your comments. You are helping me stay calm.

You are most welcome. The Eeyorism is astounding. It is almost nobody has looked at a Senate electoral map to see how many Trump state Dems are running this cycle.

Lol. Cruz is in a fight in TX but yeah red wave. Just like the vote will take place Thursday as scheduled. Cuz trust me.

Trump state Dems and Pence put him over the line.

248 I said on Sunday Flake killed the nomination. Hate to say I was right. But.....

Coming from you, #nevercorrect, I find that statement a bit.......odd. They will not vote themselves out of a job, for the most part.

252 I one stroked a pussy but it was at a pussy farm fully dedicated to pussy stroking so can I be a SCOTUS stroker too?

254 Question: Is there any way to convince a cat to let you hold him? My Ghost is extremely affectionate, sleeps cuddled up to me at night, head-butts me on a regular basis, and wants petted quite a bit, but he will NOT let me hold him, or even sit on my lap. I'd dearly love holding him, and there's nothing better than a cat purring on your lap, but he simply will not.

Help?

255 So great to see my little Tiger Lily and Shasha on the pet thread, thanks for all the nice comments!
