My cat Just Ate A Daddy LongLegs

[zydeco]

It's true.

I'm sat listening to Emily Smith's new album and reading the threads on this forum and in he runs like something not right and then crouches in front of the wall unit, wiggles his bum then jumps up and the next thing he's got something in his mouth with legs waggling about and then it's gone.

Is this normal behaviour for a 10 year old cat?

Apart from that did you notice the reference to Emily Smith? have a listen, she's fantastic.

 

Now I've got your attention,

People of a certain age have memories of groups, singers, "pop stars" from their "youth" and have favourite tracks etc. but what is the absolute top record of your life?

never mind your top ten, try to think of the top album that you could listen to again and again after say 20 years.

 

Mine would be "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" by Genesis,

but close behind is "Graceland", Paul Simon and "Ziggy Stardust ", David Bowie.

 

So if you have any advice about insect eating cats or if you agree about Emily Smith being absolutely brilliant let me know.

Also, what is the "album of your life'"

Fleetwood Mac Rumours

"Fleetwood Mac Rumours"

good album, not one I could listen to again and again but maybe it's a generation thing.

I prefer their earlier stuff when Peter Green was sane.

my favourite tune of all time is Birdland by Weather Report, brilliant bass player Jaco Pastorius, sadly no longer with us. I did get to see them live though and was sat feet away from Jaco, many moons ago now.

Weather Report's drummer Chester Thonpson used to be Genesis's drummer when they toured.

 

Another useless fact brought to you by the house of Woody

Our cat eats insects as well, pretty much anything that moves. He will get sick one day from picking up soemthing bad. He had another mouse last night, throwing it up in the air in the garden, that's 37 mice he has killed now.

Ah it's a good source of protein for him

 

Favourite albums, do they have to be by a specific artist/band, or can it be say the album to "Resevoir Dogs"? Because I could listen to that time and time again!

 

As for artists/bands it would have to be..........

 

But seriously live - Phil Collins.

 

Back to black - Amy Winehouse.

 

Anything by the Beetles.

 

Anything by the Carpenters.

 

INXS.

 

Prince.

 

The Gypsy Kings.

 

Bat out of Hell - Meat Loaf.

 

I can go on, but that's all for now!

I just think it's one of those iconic albums, you hear tracks used on adverts and the most familiar is the Formula 1 signature tune, Go your own way. I like an extensive range of music covering all trends and styles from long past to present.

My dog is trying to catch a fly. She succeeds sometimes, but it's quite funny to see her head darting around and then she pounces.

 

Ziggy is an excellent choice. Can't beat a bit of Bowie.

 

I saw The Wanted the other week and was surprised how good they were. Mind you, they did do a rather good Coldplay medley.

 

Oh and the dog now has her eyes set on a daddy long legs that's flying around the ceiling light!

My cat once trapped a large spider in the corner of the lounge and kept it there all evening until hubby came home and put it in the garden for me. Every time the spider went to move, the cat put a paw on it, but if it stayed sill, he left it alone.

 

Favourite 'recent' album is Adele's 21

 

Favourite all time is much harder. Parachutes has a special place in my heart as the only album my husband and I had in common when we met, mostly because I'd sold all mine cos I needed the cash.

Hipsway-Hipsway

I seem to have had an invasion of daddy longlegs, body count so far is 4.

It must be the weather. (My venus fly trap has caught a daddy longlegs as well)

The only time my cat caught a mouse he played with it for about an hour until I took pity and made him let it go.

Flies he catches without any effort, he just sits in the middle of the room waiting. When they fly too low he jumps and no more fly.

 

"Adele's 21" one of the few "modern" albums that I like, she's really good.

 

"Hipsway", had to look this one up, rather good '80's Scottish band.

"The Broken Years" very good.
