I care about the carrots!! I'll stand up for their rights!! My plan calls for ALL the inhabitants of the island to eat BAGGED CHOW FROM THE PET SUPPLY STORE! Therefore the carrots will be safe! :grin:
Bagged chow...saving the planet, one species at a time!
Animal diversity NOW!!!!
Pigeons are animals too!
And what are MOGGIES?!
Really, bagged chow is the best way to go, esp. since many of the animals on the island are vegetarians. Vegetarian bagged chow for everyone!
Animal diversity NOW!!!!
ALL animals are disease vectors. ESP. humans! Pigeons can't help having germs!
OK, moggies are wonderful & so are cats, kittens, kitties, small bags of snuggles, & even meow-mows! But they can chase clever battery-operated toys! I will donate some. Or you moggie-lovers could volunteer to play with them!
If the pigeons are not safe, WE are not safe. :shock:
Animal diversity and peace NOW!!!!
I am shocked! :shock: Woofies are truly man's best friend! What has any woofie ever done to turn you against this wonderful animal?
Animal diversity NOW!!!! And woofies forever!
But...don't you like NTs? :cry: Or part-NTs? Some of us can be really quiet & thoughtful, esp. with neuro-eccentric stuff mixed in (such as ADD and possibly-aspie traits)...
Well, I love just about ALL beasts! Anyway, your husband sounds nice. He's NT, right?
Animal diversity NOW!!!!and woofies forever!
Well, Alison, God bless ya for being so good with "littlies." I am AFRAID of them! I occasionally meet a child I like as an individual, but I find children as a species completely alien. My having been a child once is of no help whatsoever. I cannot get into their mindset at all. I have no patience with their age-appropriate behavior, no ability to get into their world and play or talk with them on their level. I don't know how to speak warmly to them without being horribly cloying & condescending, and since I won't do that, I generally say something like "How ya doin'?" This is one area of "normal" human interaction which I cannot successfully manage. I'm just lost. If they're older grade school age and bright, maybe we can talk a little, but the younger they are, the worse I fail. Fortunately I have almost no contact with "littlies," and I intend to keep it that way. Obviously I will never have any of my own. Funny how much variation exists in social skills among AS and possibly-borderline people. You are much more successful than I in some very important parts of life. Alison, thank you for sharing a little of your world. Best wishes to you, your cool NT husband and your daughter (is she an aspie too?) and I hope to talk to you later...
:oops: Yikes, holy s***, totally forgot what topic I was in, just went off on another dissertation. SORRY. :oops: Say anything at all relatable & it's like pulling the string on the back of the Chatty Cathy doll...
Anyway, I love all animals but dogs are noble and wonderful above all others!
Animal diversity NOW!!!! and woofies forever! :grin:
But woofies give so much love! What's the point of having a PET that is basically indifferent to you?
DOGS RULE

ALL animals drool! Yes, cats do too. But I love dogs AND cats...can't you? Come on, open your heart to them!
They are man's best friends.
Think of all the warmth & love dogs give to the world. They can't help being neurologically different from cats!
A world with only cats would be like a world with only NT's...missing so much excitement & variety.
Animal diversity NOW!!!! and woofies forever!

'cos dogs are stupid and will slobber over anyone. Whereas when a cat condescends to have its tummy tickled by you then you are truly special and should be humbly grateful for its love :grin:
How about putting the dogs and the pigeons on another island and leaving them to it?
If cats are so superior to dogs, why isn't your name DustMOGGY?!
Once again, the plan is for a peaceful animal haven fed by endless boatloads of BAGGED CHOW. Now go prostrate yourself before your cat's litterbox. :lol:

The results could be interesting, though it does good to keep the woofies and flying rats seperate from the nice society of meow-mows
WHY? What would the meow-mows DO all day without having someone to antagonize? Oh, wait, I know:
1.) sneer
2.) befoul their litter boxes
3.) patronize their fawning human servants
Meow-mows NEED other animals!
The same way aspies need NTs! :razz:
That's true; many dogs have been known to turn on people. Full disclosure: I don't have any pets at this time & don't think I ever will again. I am more a pet auntie type; taking care of others' animals makes me happy. I suppose I can see the appeal of a low-maintenance, independent feline, given my tendency to live in my own little head-space; if I had a dog, the poor dear would probably feel a bit neglected. But as a dog-sitter I do very well! Small doses of companionship are fine. I just don't think I could ever live with anyone.
As for fatal cat-attacks, I think BUNNY will be the first! :razz:

:o NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The meow-mows won't fatally attack Bunny, Gareth won't let that happen! Meow-mows will co-exist with Bunny
Wait a minute...isn't Bunny that massive white cat in Gareth's avatar? Because THAT cat is trouble. I can tell. My NT traits enable me to read the treachery in its eyes. :lol:
A meow-mow isn't bunny
Then WHO IS BUNNY?! And who is that cat in the avatar?
How can I properly insult the great white beast if I don't know who it is? :shock:
Bunnies do not say meow.
I must know the identity of that fearsome creature in the avatar!
Is Bunny a cat named Bunny, or is it a real bunny who is confused about its identity?
Hate to call any animal "it" but I do not even know whether Bunny is a boy or a girl! :?
