What's that proverb about the cat and guarding the milk/cream? Does it exist? Am I making this up?
371435
It's a translation of a German proverb:\n\nDen Bock zum Gärtner machen.\nEnglish equivalent: "To trust the cat to keep the cream."\n\nIt's a metaphor - like sending a fox to guard the henhouse - meaning there is no reason to trust a cat not to eat cream or a fox not to eat eggs.

"Who skins cats? Why would you skin a cat? And there is not more than one way to skin a cat, there is only one way! You grab the cat and rip the skin off. What's a number two way? Do you put a hose up the cat's butt until he gets so bloated that he skins himself? Does he have a piece of velcro under his butt there, we just unvelcro him? No."\n\nKill two birds with one stone, you heard that one? You know anybody who's actually killed one bird with one stone? Kids try it all the time, you can't hit a bird with a stone, unless you have a giant rock and a little baby bird.

There's more than one way to skin a cat - There is more than one way to accomplish a task.\nThe reference is to preparing a catfish (named as such because of its long whiskers) for cooking, which must be skinned because the skin is tough.

You're lucky I love this book and it's sitting next to me...\n\nAtticus: "if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you see things from his point of view--"\nScout: "Sir?"\nAtticus: "--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."\n\n\nThe two answerers above me- did you ever consider this is a high school student that can't figure it out?  Perhaps they are being lazy or perhaps they just don't know which quote is correct.  Don't answer the question if you're just going to be a jerk.

I'm Jewish. One day my cat got stung in the eye by a bee she was playing with. Her eye swelled up real bad. As I was rushing her down the stairs, I called out for my Aunt to call the vet & let him know we were on our way. My Aunt met me at the bottom of the stairs & stopped me. She said we needed to pray first. She put my hand on Shadows' eye, & put her hand on top of mine & started praying. I am telling you, I FELT Shadow's eye return to normal! The swelling immediately went down. We just sat there on the bottom stair too stunned to speak. We didn't go to the vet.

LOL..."Every time you master.bate, God kills a kitten."  LOL!! Horrible.  I got that email a long time age ( the one with the monsters chasing the poor kitten!).

Sweet. \n\nCan you give me detailed instructions on the envoronment and conditions the cat was in? I've been looking for a cool way to kill my cat for years and this sounds like just the ticket.

My dear sir, you have invented the first antigravity aerofoil cat in history. It will never land because 'cats always fall on their feet' so it cannot land on it's side, bottom, head or back. Likewise the toast will resist falling butter side up and since it is glued to the cat's feet (with the butter towards the cat) it will keep the whole shenanigans up in the air.\n\nBut I do spot a flaw. While this pair are floating round the earth seemingly for ever, the cat, stricken by pangs of hunger, will lick the toast clean of butter.  In this confabularium of toast and cat, the toast will now have no butter side. As is well-known, toast with no butter will fall any which way (and usually down behind the fridge or in a handy cup of tea), so the cat-a-toast will come to earth as the last bit of butter disappears into the cat's maw.\n\nAt this point another immutable rule comes into play. This states that if you butter a cat's paws, she will lick the butter off them and will from then on always come home. By deduction it has to be said that it is not until the butter is inside the cat that this reaction takes place, so it matters not that the butter did not actually come from the paw, but adjacent thereto.\n\nIf I were you, mate, I would look behind the fridge to see what the strange noise is.

I'm so sorry you've lost your cat........you must be devastated.\n\nWe lost one of our cats when it was hit by a car in our road, so my heart goes out to you - ignore what some of the other *rseh*les have written here.\n\nI agree that you need to ensure that children and cats are as safe as possible, but both need to leave the house at some stage or other and it would nice to think that other people would have the same respect for safety as you - there should be no need for signs if everyone acted in a responsible manner, but sadly they don't.\n\nIf I knew my cat was deliberately run over and I knew who did it, then all I can say is that they had better be careful whenever they found themselves alone in a dark alley.\n\nAll life is sacrosanct and what right do we have to take it away on a whim.

Hell no. Cats aren't stupid. They know if it's not good for them & don't eat it. You can disguise poison, but in general they don't eat food that will kill them.

Well, using your logic, that would mean tins in the supermarket labeled 'Cat Food' would be made from cats.

We once had a male Siamese cat that allowed kittens to nurse on him, and he nurtured them like his own, even though of course he could not produce milk.\n\n  So, I believe cats can be gay and inbreeding does produce behaviour similiar to bi-polar.
