"Cats have a lot of water in them...."

I wonder if Ranulph Fiennes knows that one, for next time he's stuck in the desert. You get thirsty....wring out a cat, the obvious solution.

To paraphrase Robert Frost one could worse than be a wringer of cats.

Maybe it wasn't theirs. Maybe they found it and, since they didn't know whose it was, put it in the nearest garbage can (which happened to be yours).

When our cat died, my father cremated her in the grill. He doesn't do this often but you might want to double-check next time you have friends over for a backyard barbecue . . .

Maybe someone living local to you had a mouse problem? They put poison out for the mice. The mice ate the poison and the cat ate the mouse....they both died from the poison. Perhaps this new little dead mouse was just looking for his mousey friend, not realizing he was long dead and in the moggies tum tum, and then the effects of the poison finally took hold whilst on your path and he breathed his last mousey gasp and keeled over?

Some basterd put a dead cat in my dustbin yesterday, no idea who, or why, it is black and white, and appears to have died of natural causes, this is quite puzzling, ie why would they put it in my bin?
surely if someones cat died, they would put it in their own bin, or bury it in their garden?
Also= if it got run over, they would have to pass at least 2 bins to get to mine [next doors, and them opposite].

Very Puzzling!
if anyone wants to see it., it will be there till the dustmen come on monday, [most hull people know where i live].
