A little discussion between llizard and me about the best way to give
pills to a cat:

[VK:]
Giving pills to cats can be very interesting..... (I have developed a
technique where I have a water balloon pump (small round thing with one
input and one output valve) that i fill with water. Then I put the pump so
I can reach it. Next to it I put the pill. Then I grab the cat by the neck
(gently of course) and open its mouth by pressing on its jaws (now I hold
the cat with ONE hand around the neck and it is the same hand that holds
the mouth open, this way I have my right hand free and can use that to put
the pill as far down the cat's throat as possible. I still hold my grip on
the neck and jaws! When the cat tries to spit the pill by wriggling its
tongue and moving anything that it can move I take the pump and push a few
drops of water into the cat's throat... now, to avoid choking, the cat has
to swallow and when the water goes down the pill goes down with it... The
cat hates it but this way you can make sure the pill is acutally swallowed
and not just kept at the back of the mouth somewhere and spit out
later...)

[ejm:]
> He
> has probably already forgotten the ordeal by the time we get him back
> into the car to take him home. As I said, we had to give him two pills a
> day, for 7 days. What a struggle! T gave him the first one at the
> clinic just to make sure Oscar would allow it and there was no problem
> at all. But the first night just before I went to the theatre, he tried
> again and Oscar would not open his mouth. T was prying and prying
> at it to try to get it open.

right out at the "ends"? ('.'s in the picture below...)

I'm so glad you understand the concept of raking rooms clean. One of my
colleagues looked very puzzled and said, "What's a rake? You mean a rake
like a garden rake? Why do you need a rake for an indoor room?"   :^D

I have a hat like that, but I found that I have an old saucepan which is
just a little bit wider than my head so I wet the hat and forced it to dry
on the saucepan. It worked =)

That saucepan is now no longer a saucepan but a hat size improvement tool.

(I was lucky - I only have one saucepan... well, HAD one saucepan, right
now I don't have a saucepan so I borrow one from somebody else when I
need one... :D )

That way there should be no risk of it falling off.... :D

No, what wold happen would be that the front part tries to fly away but is
stopped by the back part and the whole thing would just flop over my
head.... :D

no, all it would do would be to tear the hat away from the head... :D

???

There is a hole at the back of those things and I pull my hair through
that.... (well, actually I open the clip and then shut it again around the
hair)

>Yes I do the same thing but in a high wind, the hat just slips down my
>hair. If I attach a metal barette to the clip part and fasten it to my

It isn't "tied" to the hair in any way.... If the hair has thickness 1
unit then the opening that it goes through is about 3 units big...

> hair.

:D  I suspect the same thing would happen to me, but at least it would
slide down to somewhere near me, not fly away across the road or into a
ditch or something...

ok, then that method wouldn't work for me either ..... but it feels nice,
and it keeps my hair out of the way... =)

I haven't done that :D  [what is a "metal barette"?]

yes, I got that part, but what does it look like (details)? and how did
you get that to stick to the hat?

Yes :D
But doesn't that feel a bit uneven?

What about the rule that says that it is uncomfortable when something is
uneven...

>:^D  Is this an aesthetic or a physical judgement?

Very physical! (I can't see the back of my neck but I can *feel* it and I
go crazy if something feels uneven...)

>:^D  It can be adjusted so that it all fits. Did I say that you do not

hmmmm....????

:D (didn't this whole thing start with the hair going through the loop?)

No, I don't think you did, :D (I think it is very comfortable, especially
when I should have washed my hair yesterday and want a reason to keep
wearing the hat indoors....)

I'm bad!

hmmmm.... maybe..... but it would still be uneven....

I think I would probably notice.... :D

I WOULD notice! There is not twelve, and twelve more, mattresses
between my head and my hat! :D

They are good frogs, but if you look at them right they are also
something like a horse's head. The back legs make the eyes and
ears, the frog eye is a nostril.

Aah! Well spotted. Never seen that horse in it before but clearly now!

> I see it = the horse is looking up in surprise. Front legs are open jaw.

Well, I'd say the eyes are closed and the front leg is just something
in the horse's mouth. What I see (without the "something") less froggish
and more horseish :


            .-^---.____             
           ( 'o`     ._`-.-"/     
            `-._          \'_,
                \.     (,'-'.'
                  ).    _ _/
                 /       '/
                         '   VK


Still froggish too - I think.

How to build a scratching post for your kitties
===============================================

Text: Michael Doherty
Illustration: Veronica Karlsson

I built a good, durable post for my cats for $12.  All you need is a
square piece of plywood for the bottom.  Buy 2 feet (or taller if you
want it) of 4 x 4 posts used for fencing.  Buy a bolt to attach 4 x 4
to plywood through the bottom.  You now have a post.  Buy 100 feet of
1/4 inch twine.  This next part is hard to explain so I'll illustrate
with some pictures.  This is what you want to build:

Drill a hole in the direction of the arrow all the way through the
post.

Thread the sting through it and tie a knot at the end.  This gives
you one end that is attached.

When you are near the top, again thread string through a predrilled
hole and tie a knot as close to the wood as possible.  Then what I did
is extend the string out another 8 inches...tie a knot....leave
another inch.  This gives them a toy.

I forgot....go to the carpet store and purchase one of their 2x2
samples for $2.00.  Cut a hole in the middle and place of post and
push down to base.  This prevents injuries from landing on plywood.

A comment from Susie B

Nice instructions. Could I suggest that you make it three feet high?
Two feet is kind of short to let  a full grown cat stretch as much as
it would like to. And for the base, a really wide square of plywood
would be good for stability. I found my cats were constantly knocking
over their original scratching post when they played chase and
ricocheted off it to change direction.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

A second comment from Susie B

Make that 3 feet tall, so the cat can stretch. Sometimes cats won't
use a scratching post because it's too short. Also, make sure that the
base is extra wide, if the scratching post is unstable the cat won't
want to use it. Also, fasten two layers of plywood together so you can
countersink the bolts. This will contribute to its stability.

A comment from DJ

Here is the secret to the best scratchpost...make it big and heavy.
I have built a few scratchposts (the cats wear those things out..which
is good). I have found that the reason cats lose interest in those
little store bought posts and head for the couch is because those
little posts move around and the couch doesn't. My posts are about 1
foot square and 3 feet tall. They are covered with carpet and the
inside is filled with rocks. The post ways about 60 pounds (25kg) when
the rocks are in it so it won't move when my cats come up and attack
it..So remember, make it heavy enough to stay still and make it tall
enough so the can stand up and scratch up the post (just as if they
were scratching up a tree).

Some thoughts related to travelling with cats
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Then of course there is the "carrier". I think it's important how it is
constructed, for safety and for making the cat as little uncomfortable
(and scared) as possible.

When I was _very_ young we had a basket made of very thin wood. The
material and technique was the same as in these:

http://stab.se/hantverk/korg.JPG
http://www.castor.bjurholm.se/hemsidor/johan/agnes_spkorg.gif

This basket was completely dark inside with no possibility to see out.
The material was also thin enough for an energetic cat to claw through,
and it had been used for transporting cats for many years... It had been
"repaired" by putting newspaper as "wall paper" on the inside
(especially the corners, which is where the cats "attacked" most
fiercly).

It looked like this, closed:

Of course, the cats *HATED* it! And the construction of the lid didn't
exactly make it any easier to get them _into_ it to begin with (imagine
the fun with two half-grown kittens who had to go to the vet at the same
time and had to travel in this thing...).


Later on we got a more cat friendly basket, of the same kind of material
as the ones in these pictures:

http://home.ljusdal.se/photo/3861.lovrafsa.korg.jpg
http://www.imm.ki.se/~Morry/IMAGES/KORG.JPG


It had a narrow "window" near the top where the cats could get a 360
degree view of the world. It was not very deep (the cat could not "sit
up" comfortably in it) and the "lock" was _very_ poor, the "hinges",
like the "lock" could only be described as a joke. The shape of the lid
in combination with the flexibility of the material made it possible for
a cat to squeeze through at the front corners of the lid.

It looked like this, closed:

This was not much more popular than the first one, and it was way too
easy to break out of. It now serves some useful time holding accordion
notes, and for that purpose it is just excellent.


We now have a modern miracle. A small, white wire cage with free sight
in every direction except down and a construction that not even a feline
Houdini would be able to break out of.


This is my first attempt at drawing it:

   |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|/



(I'm not happy with either. The cage is a little bit rounded to the top
and not quite as square as it looks in my pictures, it's wider at the
base than at the top, but that kind of line is very hard (impossible) to
do in ascii)

You can pull it out completely! Because of this there is no need to try
to force the cat into the box, you just put the cat on the tray and
push. The cat sits still on a comfortable cushion while the tray slides
into the cage. The only problem then is to keep the tail from getting
squished when you close the lid. This one *works*!  :)

|  LET US BEGIN with the simplest illustration possible: let us,             |
|  emulating Bastiat, choose a broken pane of glass.                         |
|                                                                            |
|  A young hoodlum, say, heaves a brick through the window of a baker's      |
|  shop. The shopkeeper runs out furious, but the boy is gone. A crowd       |
|  gathers, and begins to stare with quiet satisfaction at the gaping        |
|  hole in the window and the shattered glass over the bread and pies.       |
|  After a while the crowd feels the need for philosophic reflection. And    |
|  several of its members are almost certain to remind each other or the     |
|  baker that, after all, the misfortune has its bright side. It will        |
|  make business for some glazier. As they begin to think of this they       |
|  elaborate upon it. How much does a new plate glass window cost? Two       |
|  hundred and fifty dollars? That will be quite a sum. After all, if        |
|  windows were never broken, what would happen to the glass business?       |
|  Then, of course, the thing is endless. The glazier will have $250 more    |
|  to spend with other merchants, and these in turn will have $250 more      |

the blue text will form the words "fuck OE5".]

[An unusally successful ping-pong doodle]


I thought I'd try some ASCII art:
    _____
   |     |
   | RIP |
   |     |
   |     |
___|____ |___

It's a grave stone. What do you think? It's my first proper attempt.

Tom

-------

I think it's a door:

    _____
   |     |
   | Tom :
   |-    |
   |     :
___|_____|___


But it appears to be locked. Maybe you can open it for me?

VK

-------

     //|
    // |
   ||  |
   ||  |
___||o |___
   || /
   ||/

There you go. It also has a new door handle.

Tom

-------

*a creaking noise is heard as the door swings open*

    _____
   |     |\
   |  o  | \
   | <|\_|  |
   |  |\ |  |
___|_/_|_| o|_
          \ |
           \|

Who is that? Lets get closer and see if we can find out who it is...

hair, and the eyes of a zombie*

llizard >> Yes, there will suddenly appear to be several extra monitors.
That's the whole point.

[Joaquim doesn't get it either]

VK << I'm imagining that your different desktops somehow have different
      functions, that you're grouping applications together for a reason.
      What windows do you have open on the different desktops?


VK [email] [home] 11 Nov. 19:18, from: 62.5.26.74, red

Joaquim >> No, I only have one desktop (I can have several, but I keep
forgetting what I have on the other ones, since I can only see one at
a time).

One desktop with nine screens:

Joaquim >> The desktop is one big rectangle which can be, for example,
four, or nine, ..., times as big as the screen. I can place windows anywhere
inside this rectangle (if I draw big pictures I can have one emacs
window that spans across several screens). Then I have "quick-buttons",
which take me to predefined sections of the desktop (but I can view an
area somewhere in the middle too if I want to)

get to look right with ascii):

(yeah yeah, I know, but I couldn't resist)

It's ca 9x9x6 cm. Big enough to hold one portion of salmon, with mashed
potatoes, OR two portions of salmon (but no potatoes).

Finally, I got one! (sort of)

I'm ill. Fever, rough throat, muscles aching, (what muscles,
by tha way, I haven't got any) dizzy head.

brojek >> Do you own a fever thermometer?


brojek [email] [home] 4 Sep. 14:38, from: 62.29.253.22

VK: does it make any difference if I do?


VK [email] [home] 4 Sep. 14:40, from: 213.67.71.180

brojek >> The good thing about fever is that it can be measured. You
can take the thermometer and show your boss that you are 38.7 C ill.
He won't be able to deny that...

[Big viking sig for Bateau. He used this in many newsgroups, for several months,
 annoying people all over the world! One of my most used troll sigs.]

This sounds like a fun project. Lets see...

It's usually a good idea to place the picture to the left. That
way the poster can add text to the right without having to worry
about messing up the alignment of the picture. So, lets turn him
around:

Then a nice "BUAF" with the poster's name. The sig he already
uses has a nice "rune" like look to it.

Lets take that ship and put it in this new sig. First we need
to get Robby out of there, and I think I'll turn this one around
too, and then it needs to be taller to look good with this new,
taller viking...

VK; those clamps take up way too much space! Several books could fit in
    there.


SamuraiCat [email]  4 Apr. 11:15, from: 82.1.178.213, green

its not as good as huffman encoding


VK [email] [home]  4 Apr. 11:28, from: 85.230.79.34, burgundy

llizard >> You compress the books, squeeze them halfway into the book-
case, remove clamp and push them into place properly.

VK; then you can't get them out of the bookcase.
