Dumb Comments
What a pretty heart ! I have an American Shorthair Calico who's going to turn 10 in May 8-) .
Male Calico and Tortie cats are super rare , just as you've stated . I've seen exactly one in all my 41 years ; a Japanese friend of mine had a Japanese Bobtail , Calico markings , and nuts ! I about fell-over !
Regarding that bottom-feeder who poisoned your kitty :
Is this *neighbour* still alive ? If some worthless piece of **** like that hurt or killed one of my cats (or even a 'feral' cat for that matter) , I'd make certain that the motherf**ker didn't want to try that kind of **** again :mumum: . He'd be damned lucky if I didn't outright kill him !
I think that I'd make a poison hamburger for that scum bag (without his knowledge , and just enough poison to make him violently ill) and feed it to him ; just sit with him at lunchtime , and watch him eat it :tool:.
I've only ever owned 2 Male Torties in my 23 years (I am extremely partial to the tortie breeds). Both of which were stolen. Raine & Storm were their names, a litter of two Blue Torties born to a calico mother, both were males. My dad knew how rare they were, so we kept them in the house (with a pet door so they could venture into the fenced in yard)... Somebody swiped them from the yard when my family was away for the day. That was 15 years ago.
Hemi was an accident that fell into my lap, somebody threw her from a moving car when she was less than 5 weeks old :mumum: I took care of her, carried her in my coat pocket while I was working in the garage :D Had her for 6 years (she's been gone for a little over a year now)
Never did find which neighbor poisoned her, but I did find the ball of hamburger. I have a rough idea though, but was never able to prove it. We installed security cameras everywhere after that, to prevent it from happening again (and if it did, proof of who did it)
Back on track : I've had people call my 340 a Hemi before too (not that I wouldn't mind a set of the Small Block Mopar Perf Hemi Heads and a R3 Block to put them on :D )
I've also had people look in the window and say "Oh... It's just an automatic" My best friend was with me that day and he responded for me. "Just an Automatic? Lemme tell you, that thing will make you pray to god when he smashes the throttle."
Had a guy ask me what year my Suzuki was... As he's staring at the "YAMAHA" Stripes/Decals on the gas tank of my '78 Yamaha 2-Stroke DT125 Enduro (with an MX175 top end) Seriously? I mean has reading comprehension gone out the window, along with common sense? :oops: Then once I corrected him, he claimed that his brother used to own one with a 2-stroke 185cc engine (there is no such thing as a 2-Stroke DT185 or a 2-Stroke MX185..)
