Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Would YOU trust this cat with YOUR speakers?

I'm thinking that hijacking this thread into cat jokes might work out okay.

This is not for children, PETA or humor impaired.

Kitty Skeet Shooting

Had to stop playing Kitty Skeet because the dog's freakin' out!
I've found scratching posts in conjunction with catnip to be effective in redirecting my cat, Kitty.

great game ,i was having fun until my 4 year old told me we shouldnt do that to real kitties.........so i told her to go to bed

First off thanks for all the replies. They really helped me reach a decision and stick with it. People here are really first rate.

Cats first.

Neither cat is declawed, just my preference. The older one is a bit more selective with the claws and I have high hopes that Smokey will improve with age. We really need a "rolls eyes" smilie here.

Joema, if we hadn't gotten our cats from the local SPCA that's the breed I would have gone for.

Yep, very good one Ron, I can just picture it.

Nice pic 2x6, I can clearly see the love in it's eyes

Jerry, good points, considering the cost of a set of stands it's not a lot more money, especially when averaged over 30 years

and now back to our regular programming.

Based on conversations with Axiom, and all the replies here, plus factoring in the cost of a set of stands (funny how I missed that) I'll be going with the 60's and the QS8s. If we ever downsize the house I'd love to move in a place with an unfinished basement where I can build a dedicated room. It's not like I don't have the time.

Ray thanks for making me smile . I decided to retire now as quite a few of my friends seemed to be passing on well before their time. I want to get a few (well actually quite a few) work free years in before I go to the big sleep. A few people have told me that 57 is too early but I'm any thing but bored and have even started doing some volunteer work with the botanical gardens near me.

I'm still hoping that I can go grill free, just have to see what happens.



Many years ago I got my sister-in-law (a noted cat fancier in our family) a book for Christmas. It was called 1,001 Things to do With a Dead Cat. Let me tell you, she was not happy about it. How anyone can "own" cats and not have a sense of humor is beyond me.


Cheers,
Ford

Is that a picture book? I think my aunt (a cat owner) had that. I particularly remember the "oven mitts" page.

Good call on the speakers. You will be thrilled with them. Don't feel bad about retiring "too early". Believe me, I would go today (also 57) if possible. I'm figuring another year, maybe 18 months.

As you get to this point and realize that you are no longer immortal (like you were when you were 18), the thought process begins to become interesting. Balance more time aginst working longer for more money.

Without being maudlin, we are going to be dead for a long time. That's why you need the larger speakers. Enjoy them.

Apparently there is a new laser method for declawing cats that is quicker and far less painful an experience with a much shorter recovery time.
No more yanking and pulling.

Yeah, but it's still taking off the first joint of their fingers. :-(

Would you trust this DOG with your speakers?

When compared to your other brute of a dog, I'd trust the smaller one. I bet your large dog could knock over a speaker with its tail.
