View Full Version : Bombed!

I have been parking under a tree so avoid some of the sunlight - and A/C use.

The drawback is birds tend to "bomb" as they takeoff from trees. :o

Friday, I don't know what happened, but the birds made the surface of my car look like cat liter was all over it. :(

Went ahead and filled up and got a car wash...

I've had that happen twice this year. Just before fall. Birds are filling their tummies and marking their territory

They know what they're doing.
Oh yes. They know.

If it was OK to take her to work it would come to an end... :p

Looks like Mewdonna will do anything to get to that C++ Programming book.

Delta,

I feel your pain. Last Saturday night, we were in downtown Milwaukee to see the Capitol Steps, & the attendant at the lot where we parked told me to take a space that was under a tree. Not a problem, I thought, until we came back after the show - the tree was full of birds, & the front half of my poor car was full of bird-p**p:eek: And apparently this was a mulberry tree, so it was *purple* bird-p**p:(

It took me 2 car washes & lot of extra (but gentle) scrubbing to get it off the next day:mad:

Incidentally (better late than never), I loved the link to Mewdonna's story. Is she a rescue? She certainly looks happy w/you!

She was in cage #13 (honest) at the Lewisville Texas Animal Shelter in 2003. Had to have gloves to pull her out. Strange - looks purebred Turkish Angora - yet acted feral

This is her "big sister" that also has mood swings :D http://www.bigcat.org/cats/showcat.asp?cat=sabrina

I've helped out at a couple of shelters, & been amazed at some of the ferals that our rescuers would bring in. My Woolly-Willy looks like a show-quality Manx, but he & his litter-mate Happy (RIP 3/98) were feral kittens rescued from a field across from the foster-mom's house.

They were so afraid of me when I brought them home, but if I lay down on the floor, they would come up to me - I guess I didn't look as big & scarey that way!

And it's so wonderful when you hear that first purr, & the fear in their eyes turns to love & trust :) :) :)

Sabrina is beautiful! Mood swings must be putting it mildly :p Is this your site, or do you sponsor her in some way? Either way, you've made me decide to contact the friend who used to go with me to a nearby shelter & walk dogs while I helped clean cages & cuddle kitties, & see if we can't get back to our regular Saturday morning volunteering :)

I do have a forum, but it's on life-support.

After some badgering, I started it, but the pet lovers that pested it talked about everything but pets. :(

My plan is when I can get a list of pet lovers, to invite them all at once and jumpstart it.

Add me to your list, please!
