Tip Cats

[punkin]

A thread elsewhere on the board reminded me of a story a mate told me a couplea years ago.

Set in a small western NSW country town of a few thousand people, they organised a Christmas Party for the whole town down at the sportsgrounds. You know the deal, jumping castle for the kids, some stalls with lamingtons, relishes and pickles etc, three legged races and fairy floss, bonfire when it got dark and sausage sandwiches, ho ho hoeing everywhere...


One of the entertainments they'd organised for the kids was a fairly large, round mesh cage. About 15 feet in diameter and with a top of mesh and a little door, it was all covered in shade cloth...

Well the bloke they dressed as Santa saunters up to the cage, they usher him in the door and quickly pull the shadecloth off...

There's Santa with a tiny little chair out of a dolls house in one hand and a whip six inches long in the other hand, facing about twenty feral cats they'd trapped at the local tip....

The cats had been quiet enough in there in the dark with the shadecloth over the cage, but now with the sun beating in and a bloke in a red suit taking up most of the room, well you can imagine the reaction.

Santa trying to defend himself with the tiny little chair and the miniscule whip, apparently the kids just loved it

Fairy floss and sausage sandwiches?

I live in San Francisco, I don't think I want my kids going to THAT fair.

I bet the kids did love it, I would have as long as I was outside the cage! That was probably one shredded Santa.

Reminds me of a story my Dad tells - when he was a little kid he and his brother caught a possum - they would have been about 6 and 9 years old respectively at that time I think. They decided to see if a possum could whup a cat - so with the parents being off to town they used a closet off the living room. Threw the cat and the possum in there and slammed the door shut.

They heard ferocius growling and other combative sounds so decided to take a peek - opened the door a crack to look in and the possum and cat escaped. Possum was chasing the cat and used the living room as the battle ground. Up and down the room, up and down the walls, over the furniture and under the furniture - knocking lamps and knick knacks flying, and the cat shitting a stream of liquid shit all the while out of terror. Summer time, no air conditioning and liquid cat shit stinks to hell and back anyway.

Finally got the two critters out of the house just as Mom and Dad come home to find the place a shitty stinking shambles. Two little boys got whipped really good -
