Pooping peacocks (was: exploding cats)

["Sheffield Corey" <SHEF@omdc.gso.uri.edu>]

Dear cat harassed,

	Haaaa! Lil' kitty tracks got ya down? Try peacock ejecta! Because I'm
single and out of the country for long periods of time it doesn't behoove me to
keep my own house. So I rent an apartment on the family compound of a family I
would rather not mention. The son and his brood have 4 cats, down from a high
of 7; plus 4 goats. The daughter and her deadbeat boyfriend live in the shanty
in the back corner of the property with their pitbull, 10-20 chickens and the
accursed peacock and its peahen. It's funny what too much money will do to a
prominent family over four generations. This "colorful buzzard" likes to stand
on the hood of my car, spread his feathers, and look at his reflection in my
windshield as he struts his stuff for the peahen who likes to watch the display
from the car's roof. Oh he is an impressive looking fellow; I'll grant him
that. But the droppings he leaves on the hood are huge and have a consistency
quite similar to that of window putty. In other words this stuff is impervious
to water and sticks like glue. I've been able to get close enough once to hit
him with a good spray from the garden hose, but the thing is quick and leary of
me now. I hate, at present, the idea of causing it's dimise, but it's brain is
too small to learn rapidly from past experience...ie. the garden hose.

	So when those lil' dusty kitty tracks get ya all worked up think about
half dollar sized blobs of window putty stuck on the hood of your sharp ride:-/ 


		Have a great weekend, gang and happy motoring,
