We’ve had a stray cat calling in for food for the past couple of weeks and I just discovered that he likes smoked oysters–and beer. 
(he also likes to lounge around under the aircon during the day. This is not a stupid cat.)

FOR LIBERTY
Obviously a keeper,Mucho Roberto and he would get along fine.I have yet to get a suitable picture of the LFF,I swear he’s psychic.
I reckon you’ve trained him well, Darin–secretive and paranoid.
Careful,he reads this blog
Smart cat. Very smart cat. Let’s see photos.
Hmmmm. Likes smoked oysters and beer, and lying under the aircon. He’s obviously been studying the native inhabitants of his new environment before moving in!
Agree. I like the old adage that “cats have servants while dogs have masters!”
A dog looks up to you, a cat looks down on you, but only a pig figures he’s your equal.
Hey folks, completely OT, and im not trying to turn CR into ebay, but … Mrs Gantt bought me tickets for the Australian Open tennis this Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday night. They’re good tickets to Rod Laver Arena. They cost AU$120 per night, but at this stage since I can’t use them if anybody wants them please make me an offer. KG, you keen for ’em?
The reason I can’t use them is because I’ve had to come home to NZ – my dad died at the weekend and I’m organizing the funeral.
Very, very sorry to hear about your dad, Gantt. I don’t know what else to say at times like this, but you know we’re thinking of you.
If you make the tickets a post headline, it will get out to the blog feeds, and reach a number of t…..s fans, non?
condolences for the loss of your dad
Sincerely,
Robert
Gantty I’d so like to take you up on that, but I can’t
Sorry about your Dad, take care.
Sincere condolences on your father’s passing. We only get one.
Very sorry to hear about your dad, Gantt – thoughts and prayers with you at this time.
Sorry for your loss Gantt,sadly it’s something we all have to do someday.
My condolences Gantt.
My condolences to you and your family. So sorry to hear of your loss.
Friends, thank you so much for your kind words. I can’t tell you what they mean to me.
On the tickets front, the reason I was trying to sell them is because Ticketek refused to give me a refund. I mailed them, thanked them for their compassion and informed them I would never be using them again.
Mrs Gantt, never one to be out-done, left a scathing message on their Facebook wall (for their 106,111 “fans” to read) and emailed both them and the Australian Open organisers. On top of that, she emailed Andrew Bolt, and told Ticketek she’d done so. Shame being a powerful motivator, they’ve agreed to refund the purchase price. So hooray for Mrs Angry!
What a fine woman!
What would we be without them.
and the cat
Must be an Aussie
The cat, that is
‘Course he is, Wakey. His main pursuits are food and shielas. He’s qualified.
Lets see, the cat has been hanging out for two weeks eating YOUR smoked oysters and drinking YOUR beer, somehow I don’t think hes a stray anymore.
Actually the Cat was already there when KG showed up,so who is really the stray?
Well, good point. But a stray who at least brings his own oysters and beer.
Congrats on becoming a slave again…….there’s no finer calling.
