Steel Penguins braying

[NARSES2]

Glad it's settling down mate 

Remember to take either the oven or gardening gloves when picking "Stroppy" up 

[Steel Penguin]

Well Mrs SPs and my stash has grown again   
stroppy is fine and settling in at chez penguin     she was a little vocal coming up the motorway, but more in a "whats going on?" meow way than a " really don't like this and will let you know" way.  She has the front room and the other 3 cats have the rest of the house, and will be introduced slowly.

in an aside to this
a question for all the star wars experts

If I use my Jedi mind powers and telekinetically lift and load my not happy cat into its trans port box for a visit to the vets, am I using them for the  light side or the  dark side ?     

I was rather tired when that one popped sideways into my mind ( cant you tell)

I lean towards Grey Jedi

Nope, sorry, wouldn't work - Cats have this Active "Anti-Jedi/Mind Controlling" field... 'course, the Normals call it 'Bl00dy-Mindedness', but we all know better, don't we? 

"I, for one, Welcome our Furry Overlords."

Glad she's settling in well, and hope the others will accommodate her. Or at least come to some sort of 'Mutually-Assured-Indifference Detente'.

Cats are definitely of the dark side.

Can you imagine Vader with a dog?  No, it just doesn't work.  But with a cat?

Never thought about that before, but you are so right 

I'm a "dog person" I must admit, but can get on with cats, if they deign to get on with me that is  Had great fun when first married watching a kitten and Dobberman pup growing up together. Gues which one ended up "top dog" ?

No contest, the cat did I bet. 

I'm waiting to see how Trevor, my old cat, will end up at my RAF daughter's, living with her monster black dog of somewhat dubious parentage.

Again, no contest... I didn't used to think of dogs as wussies, but watched a Discovery Channel vet's programme, where the RABBIT! ruled the roost over the dog...

Yup, but every now and then the dog would have her day  Especially when she learned how to squeeze her body through the cat flap ! Took me a day to coax the cat, which had been teasing Sally something awful a minute before, down from the tree.

Not all dogs are scared of cats.  An elderly neighbour had a Scottie that would take on ANYTHING! I've seen it pursuing the big ginger tom that terrified almost every other dog in the area and treeing it!  The only other dog the boss tom feared was a retired collie that looked a big soft sleepy lump that wouldn't harm anything. The ginger tom started taunting it and was ignored until it stuck its claws in the collies tail.  Five minutes later the collie was half asleep again, playing with a tuft of ginger fur, and a tomcat with a slightly shorter tail was miaouing plaintively from the top of a nearby tree.

When my niece was a small girl they had a Pembroke Corgi (the one with the tail) and a bully of a cat. Eventually the two had a serious scrap and the cat ended up tailless whilst the Corgi was left with one eye and my brother with a large vets bill ! After that little scrap the pair of them just studiously ignored each other for the rest of their rather long lives

Mutually Assured Damage, followed my Mutual Indifference and Not Mentioning The War!... 

[Steel Penguin]

whew .
just done my 1st proper bit of vac - form.
the 2 halves of the X2 vertical tail.    its a slow job at the moment, but my respect for all of you who do this and get it looking good, is certainly there.   ill have to glue and finish them another night, as right now my arms are telling my ive done an hour of sanding.  but the watching the part emerge from the plastic is a fascinating thing.

[PR19_Kit]

You made a good choice out of those three, the X-2 is probably the most basic of them. 

Did you do the 'wet and dry paper glued to a mirror' bot to sand it down?
