if it, somone will it

Mala once made a very strong argument that I must be a cat in disguise. The burden of evidence almost had me convinced of it myself.

Aye, so I'd say it's cats.

The cat that has decided I'm its new pet just came in for some food through the old cat flap..god its lovely and runs into the bedroom purring..and gets me running to the kitchen.

I can't think of a nicer thing to be as part of noohootoo. She's my 'familiar'..if anyone is aware of that pagan concept.

Here we go.

No contest.

Ferrets.

We're always ferreting out information.

A number of definitions:
To uncover and bring to light by searching.
To search intensively.
To search and discover through persistent investigation.

Middle English furet, ferret, from Anglo-French firet, furet, from Vulgar Latin *furittus, literally, little thief, diminutive of Latin fur thief.

And, of course, they are fantastic creatures, which is why I am their keeper (when I can add it to my h2g2c2 tag!

My cat eats bats but leaves the wings.

this is diferent

My kitty just yawned then licked her lips.

A cat could only catch a dead bat. I watch the pipistrelle that sometimes comes to my garden with their sonar detection..cats are special but bats are in another league altogether

Nope, she jumps up and yanks them right out of the air. Sometimes she runs a catch-and-release program, bringing one of the little flying mice indoors though the cat door and letting it flying around the house to catch it again.

Sounds like bats are a bit stupid in America then.

The small pipistrelles we have here never even go anywhere near the ground

Your cat must be FAST Happy Nerd. I'm impressed.

My brother-in-law's cat used to sit on the porch and gaze up into the night and the light reflected in it's eyes used to attract moths. Briefly.

They really are serial killers.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned badgers, or bondage ponies.

I'd say I was probably a cat... I bore easily and like shiny things.
