The biggest Irony? The meat was the most foulest food ever. The Sausage was not prepared right, The Ham was to dry. We said the pig must be cursed.

Karmic retribution for eating an animal that saved your cousin's kid, perhaps?

That would be a cat I'd punt for distance...

The reason it happened what it was two pigs that where Identical. We couldnt tell them apart because it went into the pen, so we didnt know. And we already committed to killing the pigs for food(they where expensive to feed and to buy)

This pig story reminds me of a joke.

Yea cats can be badass. The family cat that my parents got around the time I was born was fine hunter. She killed rabbits, and other animals bigger than her. She would kill whole families of rabbits and then leave the decapitated corpses on the lawn as offerings.

The part that always impressed me about this though was she had been declawed as a kitten. Did all of that with no claws.

Cats don't need their claws to catch stuff, they have fingers able to do the grabbing. Claws only make it a little easier. And teeth do the actual killing.

Claws are for fighting and climbing to escape danger mostly.

Farmer Jones got out of his car and while heading for his friend's door, noticed a pig with a wooden leg. His curiosity roused, he ask, "Fred, how'd that pig get him a wooden leg?"

"Well Michael, that's a mighty special pig! A while back a wild boar attacked me while I was walking in the woods. That pig there came a runnin', went after that boar and chased him away. Saved my life!"

"And the boar tore up his leg?"

"No he was fine after that. But a bit later we had that fire. Started in the shed up against the barn. Well, that ole pig started squealin' like he was stuck, woke us up, and 'fore we got out here, the darn thing had herded the other animals out of the barn and saved 'em all!"

"So that's when he hurt his leg, huh, Fred?"

"No, Michael. He was a might winded, though. When my tractor hit a rock and rolled down the hill into the pond I was knocked clean out. When I came to, that pig had dove into the pond and dragged me out 'fore I drownded. Sure did save my life."

"And that was when he hurt his leg?"

"Oh no, he was fine. Cleaned him up, too."

"OK, Fred. So just tell me. How did he get the wooden leg?"

"Well", the farmer tells him, "A pig like that, you don't want to eat all at once."

Dang it, I was going to tell that joke...

**LordofHats**

As someone with declawed cats, I can also tell you they have no idea the claws aren't there anymore. They still swipe, scratch, and claw as if their kitty toes still had the sharp tips even though they're gone.

This thread makes me miss my cat.

De-clawing cats is pretty horrible. If you want a Cat you better just learn to accept that they claw things from time to time.

And provide them with proper things to claw. You can teach them to not claw the drapes or the sofa with negative reinforcement.

My cats claw a lot but my mum managed to mostly get them to claw on the doormat/floormat/whatever it is.

**Grey Templar**

Ours have settled for sleeping on the couch, and wherever else they please.

And occasionally the one of them sneaks a claw in on the nice sofa cause he's a bad boy and gets a swift slap for his trouble.

He gets his revenge by knocking all my mom's papers off her desk.

Just get a pet Teacup pig like me

**Grey Templar**

I have considered it, but I'd never get rid of the cats. The pig would have to get a long with them.

"Hmm, my tea sure tastes bacony today... hey, has anyone seen squealer?"

**Grey Templar**

We have one who rotates where he sleeps. Every month its a different spot and we are quite sure there are a few that we don't know where they are.

Sometimes we'll leave and think the cats are all outside but we'll come home to him inside the house and wanting to go out.

Our cats tend to sleep under the radiators or on the spots directly above the central heating pipes.

Watergun locked and loaded on the coffee table at all times.

Both our cats are 100% indoor cats, so yes, we had them de-clawed at the same time we took them in to get spayed. They're happy little terrors who can 'claw' away wherever they damn well please without fear of disciplining or water-gunning/spray bottle attacks.
Plus it's safer for them when they play-fight with each other, especially since Loki is a savage little brat who'll try and dive-bomb Stitch at least twice a day...

Of course, come the early morning hours, Loki will get it in her head to go and venture behind the TV in the rec room, only for Stitch to 'discipline' her afterwards as they know they're not supposed to go back amongst all the wires.
Stitch's attack run tends to either send Loki running for her little life, or else she gets pasted something like:

Hey you've got a loki too

We used to have his brother named thor, but he never lived up to his name. So we changed it to teddybear, just a big bundle of fuss. Loki's still with us, but teddybears not with us anymore.
