Hilarious --- Gary Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh my, I have a pet that talks to me all the time, Max, my African Grey parrot. Let's see, if I try to sleep in on the weekend she starts the day by hollering up to me from downstairs HE-LLLOWW-OHH over and over. I book on down to the kitchen, and start getting the kittys fed while Max hollers want some apple over and over. She recently started requesting that it be green apple! I finish the cats, start slicing the apple, tell Max it's almost ready, and she says (in her best snooty diva voice) Want some grape. I add grapes to the bowl, run it in to her, and she greets me with Want some banana. I put the bowl in her cage, run back to the kitchen, get some banana, run back in and she flings the banana to the floor to join the uneaten apples and grapes lying there. (Meanwhile, the cats are quietly and gratefully gulping down their wet food). Max now asks Where's Gary? for the first of about 100 times a day. Gary is my husband. Max hates Gary. If Gary speaks to me while I'm holding Max she mumbles ass under her breath. If he speaks nicely directly to her she says it outloud. Poor guy, he's paid a large portion of her vet bills. When they finish eating the kittens begin coming into the front room with Max and I. As each one enters she says Who's that? and meows when I answer. Sometimes, just for kicks, she says Come h in her sweetest little girl voice and lowers her head like she just wants a head scritch. If they get too close the beak flashes out and she trys to nail them. When they stopped falling for this, she began ripping pieces of newspaper from the bottom of her cage and dropping them, fluttering, to the floor to tempt the poor little kitties back into striking range. Smart bird. If I lock her back up so I can relax my vigilance a bit and maybe read the paper, Max is not pleased and yells NIGHT-NIGHT. If I fail to let her back out, she starts cussing me out with creative combinations of real swearwords she learned from her previous owner. So in answer to your question, I would take the money. Lord help me if the cats could talk too!!! Beth PS. I really do adore Max, I am remodeling a spare bedroom that will be a birdsafe room where she can play and cuddle with me free of the kitty worry. I try to talk a lot of people out of getting a large parrot as a pet, they are louder, more demanding, and more destructive than most sane people can tolerate. At the same time, I am profoundly grateful for her trust and devotion to me, she has pulled me through some very dark times. I hope to spend the rest of my life with her. The poor dear tries really hard to fit in, she should be living a life of freedom, flying in a rainforest, and instead has to live by our rules in confinement. If it makes her feel like cussing a bit, I understand... Hi all. Hope everyone's babies are doing great!

i'd take the money, i think. as others have said, could save a lot of kitties with it! when i moved back to my hometown years ago, their adult-education program at the university was offering, Conversational Persian classes. i cannot tell you how tempted i was to show up at the first meeting with caity and jenny, my two biological persians, under my arm...

Beth, what a great description of Max. She sounds like a hoot! Plus, any creature that makes CATS seem grateful by comparison is worthy of awe and respect! I'd have to take the money too.

Once my girls are vaccinated and Gunnar is out of isolation (our basement), any tips and hints on the very best way to integrate them?? The girls know Gunnar exists, as I put him in his carrier and brought him up to spend time in the living room with us. We've also purchased a cage for Gunnar when there's no one home for supervision - which we'll use for a few months. But once we want them to roam free - even for short periods of time - your ideas would be appreciated. I sure don't want any major cat fights!! Thanks, gang!!

Re: $$$ or Kitty Talk
have been thinking more about this. one week of their speaking english. hmm, is that for just ONE cat in the family? how would i choose which one? remembering what an animal communicator said once, that not all cats are chatty cathy's---what if i picked one who had absolutely nothing to say? or if i happened upon a week when the one i choose was just in a calico mood? could i stand to listen to one of the calicos bitching for seven days? and do i really want to KNOW how the forever cats felt about last summer's no-good-deed-goes-unpunished effort at being an estrogen zone and bringing 5 pregnant or new moms with their assorted 28 kittens into THEIR house? (some of the adults are just now, a year later, trusting me enough to venture outside the bedroom.) and what if they all think i'm a lousy mom and really have posted themselves all on petfinder--do i need to know this? send me the money!

I would be tempted to pick the English option. But then again, $100 k could save a whole lot of cats, and what's so great about English anyway?
