    My cats don't ride ten-speeds
    
            They prefer Harleys

    Re.0. What makes you want so desperately to get rid of it that you
          post the note here :-) 
           
    Have to admit, it catches attention though :-)

When I saw the base note this morning, I sent mail to the author suggesting
that FELINE was not the most appropriate place for the ad and have not
heard a response.  I don't really feel right about deleting notes without
the author's permission.  Once this gets resolved, I will be more than
happy to delete the base note and all of it's replies if no one objects.

    Believe me, I don't object at all.  I asked Tabby and Silver if
    they were interested and the just said, "Now come on, MOM!  You
    know we aren't allowed to go outside!"

    I got all excited then - my cats only have 3 speeds!!
    
    1)  "Now you've broken it - lets get out of here before they catch
         us"......which is only slightly slower than...
    
    2)  DINNER!!!!!!
    
    3)  And.. "She's calling us...I suppose we ought to go" - which
         is almost slow motion.

    Cuddles would love to have it but i don't allow her to go out on

You all have it all wrong -- it's a ten-speed SCRATCHING POST!!

Imagine the bike all faced with carpet, and cats all over it scratching at 
ten different speeds...

    NAAAAAAH! I don't think it is a ten speed scratching post, i'll
    bet it's a new heavy duty ten speed litterbox disposal unit, if
    it is - i'm sold!

    replies in just a few hours. :-D

    to buy a Lasagna bike!)

    You know what would be fun - some us go into the classified file
    and have a real field day with some of the adds - no one else
    replies to them!!  Give people something to read!
    
    Ray, I loved your scratching post idea!  My guys would love that..

    We could turn it into an actual note:
    
    Has anyone ever taken their cat for a ride on their bike?  All I
    could think of was building some kind if cage so the kitty could
    ride where the basket usually is.  Or would this be too windy?

    RE.29
    
    FOR SALE : "PORTABLE WIND-O-KITTY" 
    Customer! for a paltry 99.99 you can have this handy device for
    your cat's comfort during those strenuous bike-a-thons. Now YOU
    can enjoy the company of your cat on these excursions.
    Our PORTABLE WIND-O-KITTY comes complete with protective windshield
    to keep the fur from flying and prevent whisker-drag. The cage itself
    is made from the finest mesh imported from South Meshinia. The cage
    also comes complete with a sturdy Kitty-port-o-let with our new
    heavy duty windless litter. Also availble for just 29.99 is our
    Kitty side-to-side goggles and at our current sale price of 45.99
    we have available our official Rum-tum-tugger kitty bike jacket!
    The entire kit weighs a mere 57 pounds and afixes to the handle
    bars of your ten-speed. Sure it's a little awkward at first but
    isn't the pleasure of YOUR kitty's company worth it?.....
    
    
    
    
    
    
    P.S my brood enjoys white water rafting - any suggestions?
    
1227.32Think she'll ever open this conference again?CLUSTA::TAMIRACMS design while-u-waitThu Mar 31 1988 11:398
    Honey has been saving his allowance to buy a new ten-speed, and
    the blue would match his eyes.  He wants to put a little basket
    on the front for baby Chauncey...
    
    The only problem is, he looks so *STUPID* in those tight pants!
    Maybe if I get the WIND-O-KITTY, he wouldn't need them!

    > Think she'll ever open this conference again?
    
    Uh, while I know the people in this conference are probably a cut
    above the rest when it comes to compassion, it seems like there's
    an awful lot of sport being made of someone who probably made a
    simple mistake.
    
    The idea of spandex clad cats on 10 speeds *is* humorous...
    
    Could we let it slide? Maybe have the moderator delete the whole
    string and let the discspace be recovered?
    
    Maybe?

    re.33
    Personally, I think we are having fun with the idea of a cat
    on a ten-speed rather than making fun of someone who placed
    the ad. 
    As a Garfield fan an other cat comic material I have been
    getting a good chuckle out of the creative replys and never
    heard anyone personlly attack the original noter.
    
    Well, that 's just my two=cents worth...
    Fran
    
1227.36Thank You!EDUC8::TRACHMANThu Mar 31 1988 14:234
    I think we ought to thank the person that originated
    the note for all the fun we've been having!
    
    
1227.37Go ahead mom, take your timeDELNI::SCHWINDTThu Mar 31 1988 15:167
    Boy, have I been missing out and I'm also in the
    market for a 10 speed!!!!!   Dazdee and Whicket 
    think it's a good idea too - the more I'm gone,
    the more trouble they get into :^>

1227.38OOPSAIMHI::OFFENFri Apr 01 1988 13:3913
    I will personally thank this wonderful person for giving us so much
    fun.
    
    I work with her and know that she made a mistake and I will forever
    remind her of it.
    
    Actually, Deja doesn't need a ten-speed.  She goes fast enough to
    break the sound-barrier already.

1227.39Curious...HLIS07::VISSERSCeterum CenseoFri Apr 01 1988 14:034
    But is the bike sold? I think it would be the greatest gag if the
    bike was actually sold through this note :-)
    
    
1227.41DELNI::SCHWINDTFri Apr 01 1988 15:017
    Well.....    I am in the market for a ten speed and I actually
    answered the add.  It was nice to come accross a surprise like
    that!!  I haven't heard anything so, maybe a fellow Feline is
    busy *Biking* around!!!!!

	 Would Cinamon  feel  safe in a wagon being towed by a couple of
     hooligans?    ;-) ;-)



1227.44I typed this with my nose...JAWS::COTESilicon Fusion, Silly ConfusionMon Apr 04 1988 09:0014
    Yo! TK & Bandit-o....
    
    Edd knows when to shut-up. Actually, he went out and bought me a
    brand new 12 speed Friday! Real flashy red! I let him ride it
    Saturday, but since he's not home all day, you can bet I'll be
    squeezin' into my spandex and headin' out for a cruise everyday.
    
    Tell Cinamon the best part of riding a trike is when *he* gets to
    pedal and you guys are in the trailer...
    
    Edd's still laughing at the thought of two furry terrorists on a
    tricycle...
