All she does is curls up in my lap and goes to sleep.



Furrealz though, should anyone find themselves in a position where they need to put a cat in a small space against the cat's wishes (i.e. a carrier to go to the vet) the hogtie method is by far the safest if you like your skin attached to your arms.

The trick is corralling the beast out of sight of the carrier. Grab the front feet with one hand and rear feet with the other (holding the beast upside down for full "hogtie" effect is optional but not necessary). Once you have full control over them, you can walk them into the room with the carrier. If I do that I can usually get the cat in the carrier and get the door closed without any major blood loss or unnecessary emotional scarring.

If you let them get a grip on the sides of the carrier the freakish-strength-for-body-weight effect kicks in and its all over.

My fiance had 2 cats so I inherited them once we bought the house...i did not like them at all at first, but love them now...they are like you said, cuddly at times but distant when you want them to be also. Mine dont freak out when putting in crate tho for some reason.

I already have one Disco in the driveway, what's one more?

But yeah I've been looking for a second one to swap some parts over to the one I'm rehabbing and then flip, but I doubt there are any good interior parts on that thing though........


Ed, she's adorable! And as for you my friend, holy sh*t are you white......I thought I was as white as they get but I think you easily trump that.

I've seen the black and red before and it looks great on a red car........that blue though, that's nasty. Can't imagine it looking good on anything!

Yeah, unfortunately all black ones seem pretty rare and no color looks good with yellow, at all.

They are also damn expensive when they do show up for sale, I'll probably stick to my E46 M idea unless I just happen to fall on these.
