Nice find, Wheel.                  By the way, it's "cats" no "cat's".  Wink

I like cats.  Coyotes here ate the neighbors' cat and it was very sad.

Damn...we got four of the little buggers.  Good thing they're indoor cats and not likely to be exposed.  That could be a REAL mess.

I didn't see where they've decided if cats can give it to humans or not. That's going to be bad if true.
You'd think that they could.

what difference does it make?  We're all going to die anyway.

Hmmm.  The SO and I were sick recently, with what was most likely the flu (although we weren't tested), and while we were fighting off the bug, one of our cats took to throwing up more than usual.  Usually he's a once every two months puker, but he three up several days in a row this time.  I thought he was stressed over another cat's recent death, but now I don't know.  He's fine now, the little bastard.

I hope for a technological solution to peak oil. 

I plan for a collapse back to the stone age. 

I'll meet reality SOMEWHERE between those two extremes.  It can buy dinner since we're going to get f**ked either way.
