I don't get it Jay. What am I missing.

It takes me to the Oregon live site with nothing in the main box? Agree with Bawanna, something I am missing.

even searching on Gorkhali didn't find anything on the site...

 

[hhmoore]

I tried that AND googling the term Gorkhali Moggy - nothing

 

[Bawanna]

You guys almost make me feel normble. Thought it was just me. But consider my curiosity fully aroused.

The right hand column of the page updates itself every few minutes. Maybe Jay saw something interesting there which is no longer on the page.

As for the people with the cat that scratched their seven-month old baby, attacked and trapped them in a room, and they "may" get rid of it if its behavior doesn't improve .... somehow I think that they have taught the cat that they are prey animals.

I know people who think of their cats as their children, but when you have a real infant in the house and the cat harms it, wake up folks before something really tragic happens .

Sadly Davidf99 you are correct. They have taught the cat how to interact. Perhaps they ought to get that hipster cat psychiatist from TV. Portland seems like the kind of place he would like. Might even be from there already LOL. Cats are great, IF the owners know anything about them and how to properly interact with them, otherwise of course the cat thinks of the baby as an interloper. After all the house has been it's turf for however long and this new thing comes in and doesn't play by the rules.

Hi folks,

I meant to say that the Himalayan cat, must have brought along the Gorkhali spirit as it terrorized the house to a point police is needed.
Imagine if the cat knows how to use a Khukuri?

 

[Shavru]

LOL, now I see where you were going it is indeed entertaining. As for the cat weilding a Khuk. I have had a cat who's claws sure felt similar when he latched onto my arm at bathing time. Got a good chuckle outta your comment and the mental picture of the cat as a miniature avenging Guru Gorakhnath Thanks for clarifying.
