Yes, I played the races at Saratoga today and yes I drank some cans of beer but this evening the neutered tomcat ran upstairs screaming and warbling and going nuts. He was bouncing off walls and flashing fangs and I finally got hold of him. I threw him upon the bed.
Crazed with thoughts of sex and violence the tomcat leaped upn my desk.
The huge cat is pretending to nap upon my desk in this photograph but I knew that he just planning an attack to tear me apart with his claws.
When I woke him up I just knew by the orange nose and claws and fangs that he was going for my throat!
On a serious note, these are Trouble's paws on my desk. He's a big tomcat and his paws are small, just like most domestic cats. The pads on his feet are soft and feel like a new baby's ass.
Those small paws on Trouble can go about three inches wide when he wants to lay out the claws and the razor-sharp claws can go more than an inch apiece in a nasty pointed curve. Yes, house cats have small heads but if you get a male's mouth open you will see four enormous fangs and wonder how he ever gets his mouth closed. The girls have the fangs and claws too but Mom Nature no doubt sets up the males for battle to win females. Sturdy and clever female street cats like Mister Mittens are allowed to live by Mom Nature to pass on the genes that had her stroking the streets while remaining alive I suppose.
Shiloh (aka Sweet Babycakes) the runt would have been a dead kitten last year as a street cat but she was a little girl well-saved. Small and mostly white is not a good deal for a street cat. And she has heart! Dr. Wallach told me that after being spayed Sweet Babycakes went all kinds of nuts in her cage. Back home the little girl kitten raced all over my house with joy. Her mother and brother finally pinned her down and the three cats slept in a happy pile with paws with no claws all over each other.
I still do not understand cats.
