Don't you remember in (the original) "Ocean's Eleven" when they put all the stolen money in the guy's casket and they cremated him? At the end of the movie when they were all walking down the sidewalk leaving the funeral home, Sammy Davis, Jr. was singing that song...........D O eleven......D O ele-e-e-e-even. Of course Danny Ocean (DO) was played by Frank Sinatra. KY Jon's story reminded me of that movie.

Where do you guys FIND dead cats? All mine, all my life, just disappear when it comes their time to die. I see them flat on the road sometimes, but that is different, and I've never seen one of MINE on the road. Mine just go off somewhere when the time comes and we never see them again...Geo George, You are the lucky one. Our last cat, who was much beloved by my wife, and who I was fond of, got sick one day with some kind of urinary tract problem. His water works locked up. This had happened once or twice before, so we knew the symptoms. He had recovered well from prior bouts, just bringing home vet bills in the realm of $600 each. Well as I say, he starts showing the symptoms again. Wife takes him to the vet who treated him before. Next day, bad news. The cat has croaked. Wife goes to pick up the remains. With the remains there is a vet bill of about $1,300 attached. Friggin' $1,300.00 for a dead cat! See what I mean about you being lucky? Curl

For some reason the preceding post went on twice, so I deleted the text of the second one. Thought I would give this explanation rather than just show "Post deleted by CptCurl".
Then you would think I said something nasty.

I once paid $63.00 for a dead cat. Well I split the cost with two classmates and drove to Rochester N.Y. to Wards Scientific Supply to buy it. We had decided we needed it to have extra study time for a Comparitive Vertebrate Anatomy class at Penn State. We kept it for several weeks in an ice chest in my apartment and got free ice from a nearby motel at least once a day to keep it cold. We spread plastic out on the kitchen table and had Cat Parties two or three times a week and drank beer and sliced up our cat. More beer helped with the smell of the formeldahyde and cat. I didn't really like cats before this. I really really truly don't like them now, though I tolerate the neighbors cat that patrols my field for mice.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Around here we prefer to create dead cats, not play with them. Two friends of mine came up with a game called scat. It involves trapped barn cats, a 50 cal. tripod mounted machine gun, a release box and a 40 yard safe ring. I will let your imagination fill in the blanks. Hearing and eye protection as well as a firing line captain are de rigeur. For us, not the cats. Peter

Got a call from the other dead cats owner's attorney this morning. She wanted to know what my part in the "theft" of and destruction of the other dead cat. Instead of explaining that this was a tragic mistake I gave her my attorney's name. Then I called him and let him know she would be calling.
He just about died laughing when I told him the story. He assured me he would take care of it. We go way back, to a point of time he was respectable, before he passed the bar. When she called he must have been in rare form. She called me back ten minutes after her call to him and explained they had decided to let the entire matter drop. He called me later and said it was all settled. He explained to the other lawyer that the only thing they would get out of us was a counter suit and the entire matter would take hundred of hours to settle and he was working for free because he thought this was the dumbest suit that he ever heard of and he was a dog person. So death to all cats and lawyers who represent them.
All well that ends well.
