Irene! What happened to you?
I thought you were a nice person. Always polite and friendly!
Your signature even said that you were born to love, not hate.
But NOW you dropped your signature and you are holding a little kitty at gun point.
I am…am…am…shocked. Tell me it aint so.
It is I holding the gun, Bert. Drilled kitty right between the eyes. That will teach it not to mess with my books!
If it’s any consolation, it was quick and painless, and rather humane I would say. 
I bet I know what you’re thinking: the horror… the horror…
Well, allright. I take your word for it but I don’t think Irene is totally inocent. Why else would she drop her signature? Her conscience is bothering her.
I must admit…the kitty holdup caught me off guard too.
That’s a pretty nice gun you’re packing PeterD…stainless and all. I’m guessing it’s a 9mm Beretta?? I prefer stainless too…my main carry gun is much smaller and more concealable though…it’s a Taurus (made by Beretta in Brazil) sub-compact with a full composite body…the slide is all stainless though, and even though it is a compact it still holds 13 rounds (no more “banned” magazines down here…thanks W!)…the classic Beretta is a nice choice though, with the longer barrel length I bet it was much easier to pop off that helpless little kitty (although they do have sharp teeth)…should I send you a discounted “referred by a friend” application for the NRA??
Ugh…I’m rereading this before I post it, and I have a feeling I am about to stir up some good “Monkey in the Whitehouse” remarks…must not click “submit”…must not click “submit”…must not click…
Awww but the kitten is so cute… why should the poor thing have to get done in. Seriously though, I’ve seen the picture elsewhere used as an avatar. It is awfully cute! 
(Can you tell I am a sucker for kittens?)
(wondering if I should mention something about chimps not being monkeys 
)
Haha…you thought you wrote that small enough I wouldn’t notice it huh???
LMAO - so much for trying to be discreet… 
Well Bert, if you must know I wasn’t REALLY threatening the kitty, I was just teaching it unarmed combat techniques.
And I only dropped my signature (as I do often) to make my posts shorter so there!
hope you all bought it
Anyway, here’s a grown up cat showing no respect at all for Erechteion (sp?)
I know a Librarian who would insist on the distinction between primates
But kittens are quite dangerous and fond of firearms:
And this fiend:
No sense declawing those cats.
I just realised I committed a big no-no by changing my avatar, namely, that for those who haven’t seen it, Bert’s question doesn’t make much sense. So, here’s my previous one
.
Now, as you can all see, it is not a case of me being cruel. From annis excellent post it is obvious that cats and weapons go well together. What cats are sadly lucking is the ability to fight unarmed. I teach them to use their claws and their agility to viciously attack their opponent and disarm him if necessary.
This is a photo taken after the kitten has completed its training program. My associate PeterD who is the expert on guns (I only know that the barrel is supposed to look away from your person) and is responsible for the more intense training programs due to his inherent cat hate (gives a realistic ‘feeling’ to our training) is holding the gun.
Notice the gleam in the eye of the kitten. See the vicious smile on its face. See how forbidding its whole presence is. A ninja kitten.
Ook!
Ingrid
I almost did that myself Ingrid…great minds… 
What’s weird is that I know that cat. That’s Nohands from kitten war (and other sites).
I’m really ashamed that I know that.
edonelly I can’t decide if I should thank you or curse you for ‘introducing’ me to this site! I spent hours going “Awww!” over the pictures I saw there. I actually bookmarked the site for Whomever’s sake!
Then you will want to take care with the LJ baaaaaby animals community.
Great! Just excellent! Annis, now I am reduced to the ignoble state of actually saying OMG!
