Anyone want a cat?
« on: October 03, 2010, 11:38:55 pm »
I had 2 matched pairs of tubes sitting in my inbox by my computer.  A set of Mesa boogie 5881's and JJ KT77's.  Sometime during the night the cat decided to play with them, I now have two singles 1 5881 and 1 kt77.  I'm not a happy Camper :sad:

You need to get your cat some less breakable cat toys.

Their definition of a cat toy is;
can I get to it and
does it looks like it might be fun to play with.

I got two cats right now. spayed, and (front) declawed. They haven't started playing with tubes yet, and I haven't left any out for them to play with either.

What a bummer on that loss though.

I'll trade you - your cat who likes to play with tubes for my stepdaughter's cat who likes to pee on the family room rug and attack my older cat in the crapper.  Somehow the stepdaughter's cat came with Wife Version 2.0 and I can't get rid of the damned thing.  It lives in the laundry room now.

I shouldn't complain - Wife Version 2.0 was a fantastic upgrade!

Cheers,

Chip

I suppose it would have been too much trouble for the cat to leave you the two that were the matched pair. Probably a good thing that you didn't get sidetracked and leave out your XF1 EL34's--it might have costed whatever remaining lives he had left.  :laugh: Regards
