Yes Straw she said "D"! Deal with it. :plbb

Bummer about the pregnancy test :lol: I was looking forward to your "kidding" thread. :p

I hope you start feeling better soon. I know how miserable this really starts to become. We still have some sickness still here too. It is ridiculous! :/

Noro virus, hmm? That must be spread by some microscopic nanobytes through the computer systems. Everybody on the forum is sick! Ach! Hope you get over it soon, Coco. I need you to come help me skirt fleeces on Saturday!

Ok...I'm starting to get a little paranoid. Over the course of this week, we have had THREE very LARGE housecats get squished right in front of our house. Ok...so one was at the intersection which is NEXT to our house...but still. These were some pretty LARGE putties too! Definitely NOT outdoor cats if you know what I mean. Now our four outdoor cats have been fine...haven't gotten hit by cars...YET. But today, i went outside to meet the evil one off the bus and I noticed two dead looking things. One in the MIDDLE of our front yard, and another, towards the shoulder of the road. So i'm looking at the yard critter, and it looks like a cat. ANOTHER flipping cat! It doesn't look like it was hit...but who knows at this point. Then I walk over to what looks like a large vulture (we have tons of them in our area)...and sure enough...it's been hit by a car. So I'm not sure where the cat got struck..but I'm thinking the vulture got struck while eating the cat...and the cat got flung. Either way...DH said he noticed the cat thsi mmorning. now this is in the MIDDLE of our front yard...not near the road or anything. I'm really starting to wonder what the heck is going on...are we 'cursed'? I mean I was HOPING it would all end with the third cat...you know...all things in threes. But OH NO....the other sad thing is I think the cat in our yard...is our neighbors cat. I'm going to wait until they get home and see. I hope it isn't....but I'm not so sure.

The thing is...we do have catfood outside for our kitties...but it's right next to our basement door....FAR AWAY from the street. So it's not like they're getting struck coming after the food. This is weird.

Someones decided to take their hatred of cats out on the cats. Person is shooting the cats, then running over them because that doesn't look strange, it being run over. They see you have cats thus they throw these dead cats to your place to make a statement. My theory anyway. :)

Coco...yeah Norvo here too...round three...funny thing about this so called virus is that it has a mutant bacterial component to it which is why people get such a whammy from it...knocks the immune system into the dirt and you're easy pickings for just about anything. It was explained to me that this is also why those with flu shots are not protected...my Dad and Aunt Rose back in November who had flu shots got it very badly and Rose coded a few times in the hospital...almost killed her...super scarey, but she and my Dad are both 85 and are at a more risk of death from this...but both now fine and healhty...took until late January for them to feel close to healthy again.

About your poor puddy tats...that is suspicious...that many is more than coincidence in my books...Straw could be right...a cat hater in the area...so sorry about your cats :hugs

D would make me feel better, until I snuggled him and died of allergies :/

Straw - DH is pretty suspicious as well. Said if "one more ends up dead in front of our house...I'm getting a wildlife cam and setting it up!" I know there's one kid whose been shooting strays...but he KNOWS which ones are ours...and what'll happen to him if he so much as breathes in the wrong direction towards them! Also...only one of our four cats ever leaves eyeshot of our house. The other three don't even go to the end of the driveway! Seriously. They wouldn't even go near the dead cat in the front yard when I was walking over there. Interesting part is that the one that was dead the other morning, I'd seen up at the top of the hill, in the woods the night before (when I was coming home from the Dr). Like I said..those first three were indoor cats...WAY TOO HUGE to have been outdoor kitties! I mean HUGE cats! This fourth one I think may've been my neighbors cat...indoor/outdoor. But that vulture was kinda weird too...haven't ever seen one of those get hit around here...even when there was a dead deer up the road. Oh...and I've been home...every day this week...due to the LOVELY Noro virus! Haven't heard any gunshots...not that the sound of gunshots would be out of place out here. Heck...we've got a huge gun range back behind our property...adn the neighbors across the street will let a few go every now and then! But I haven't heard any gunfire this week...night or day. I guess it might be time to pay the other neighbors a visit here again....

@ Bon...this noro virus is kicking my butt! Got anti-puking meds from the Dr...so I could stay hydrated. I'm STARVING...or hungry at least (these curves take calories to maintain!)...and yet I don't really want to eat anything cause of what might happen! Heck...it's nearly 130AM and I'm up and can't sleep cause I'm battling my belly! I feel mostly fine...but then I'll eat something....We went to bed at 9 PM...and I'm the ONLY ONE who hasn't fallen asleep! About 10PM...the tummy started up again! I guess I'm not going in today (friday) to work again. This is REALLY BAD! At least I managed to get 2 hours in this week! :barnie
