I just had to add, because there's no one around to tell, and it really is the most surreal image, that my kitten has just walked into the house carrying a man's shaving brush Shocked

What does the cat think of Turkey? More good than bad? More fleas and furballs? Better fish and mice? Bigger shaving brushes?

It was the baby - the brush was almost as big as him.
I don't think I would have noticed if it was the furball and the third one prefers his name to be spelt Dirtie.
I think, on balance, they far prefer Turkey, but only one has lived elsewhere and therefore has a basis for valid comparison. Wink

Hey! Is my insomnia getting to me or did you change your post, yar?

Speaking of cats. Our youngest cat has got a new trick. The light switches in my apt. are about 1.50m from the floor. The cat jumps up at the switches and turns the lights on and off.

Just for fun, or can you train her or him to act as an - albeit unconventional - dimmer?

I DID change it-- but mainly because after I posted it I noticed that you said it was the baby so I felt a bit dim and decided I neednt ask you which cat it was.

Fear not for your insonia. I was just distracted by a ghost...

Regards to Dirtie et al.

(lovely day, innit? I just got back from a long walk along Sahil yolu and it was WARM! Woohoo! Spring geliyor... maybe... possibly...)

I doubt it. She is a very naughty cat and completely untrainable.

Yaramaz kedi... hmmmm.... Very much like my old Yaramaz in that unnamed place in central anatolia. Shall we ask ghost for an analysis on the inherent naughtiness of Turkish cats? I sense a thesis.

What did he do with the shaving brush?

I'm jealous of you people with endearing cats. My last cat tended to sneak up on you and bite chunks out of you when you weren't looking. His most endearing qualities were Fear of the Broom, barking at flies, and fetching the tiny Nerf soccer ball.

It is my belief that all Turkish cats are two-faced liars who steal meat then hide it under the bed and forget about it. I had a Turkish cat for 4 months, so I know all about it. He didn't even bother to try to learn my language, the lazy schmuck.

Thank you yar, I am relieved that I am not completely mad!
dmb, we actually managed to train one of our cats to fetch like a dog.
justme, lol.
The kitten just carried the brush around for a bit. I'm just waiting for an irrate neighbour to come round and demand his brush back. Otherwise, I might suprise my husband with an unexpected present!
What was this thread about again?

The other day I had to phone up my student to say I woud be late for the lesson. The reason? I stupidly left my keys out on the coffee table in the living room. In the morning they weren't there. One of the cats had knicked them . I finally found them on top of a wardrobe.

LOL!! You mean it wasn't a shaving brush from your house? That makes it even funnier and more surreal! I get it! I get jokes!

Isn't this thread about Turkish housepets? I like Turkey. And Turkish housepets. I know a little dog named Fındık who stands up and walks around just like Rory Calhoun.

This is the Simpson's trivia thread, isn't it?
