This is definately off topic.. but the reason I was seriously late getting 
out to the girls tonight..
 
I know you're a cat lover.. and I went downstairs to discuss a plumbing issue 
with the manager who's a friend of mine. They have a Serval (sp?), an exotic 
cat that looks like a small version of a cheetah that lives I believe also in 
Africa... Head to rump on this cat is about 2 1/2 feet.
 
 
This serval and I have been friendly for the past month or so as I've had a 
moment or two to drop over and spend a few moments with it.. but it's been 
getting progressively friendlier. He's an immature neutered male.
 
 
Well I went donw stairs and he was very affecionate (unsual).. so I sat down 
and gave him some attention..  This cat doesn't do affection for more then 
about 10 minutes max.. so we disgressed into a wrestling match.. chuckle.
 
He just would not let me alone..  and for a skitish semi-wild cat.. he was 
bouncing and rolling all over me as I wrestled with him with a puppet on my 
hand (he's not allowed to bite people so I use a puppet to wrestle).
 
What a crack up. As he got winded.. I got up so he'd unwind.. but instead he 
went to the door to block it.. Oh yes.. this cat is exceptionally smart.. and 
he does think things out. ;)
 
Nothing like a domestic.. very much like a large exotic.. but much more 
intellegent. ;)
 
Needless to say.. I was fairly late getting out to the girls tonight. ;)
 
I've got  a pic.. but it's not good.. when I get a decent one.. I'll scan it.
 
 
Oh yes.. He is very scared of my cowboy boots and the horse smells on them.
