| The fuury one never knew that it was I that tossed it on him. I think
he thinks that it was from the great beyond. All he knows for sure is
that I rescued him from a fate worse than death. We AREN'T telling him
otherwise, R-I-G-H-T?!

| I have to admit we have been known to get Kimi and Sura highly excited
by throwing bacon/ham rind on their backs (we don't do it any more...).
They would go quite crazy, racing around the room like you describe.
Kimi soon caught on that it was edible, and wasn't frightened after
one time. I think perhaps they think it is something snake-like.
All cats seem to know instinctively about snakes, even though theer
are none in New Zealand (not even in zoos). Racial memory, of course.

2653.5 | nooooooo snakes! Not even one? | DNEAST::FIRTH_CATHY | owl | Fri Jul 07 1989 12:42 | 10 |
| Sorry, shane, couldn't resist. If I were to assume that cats are
not imported (I know they are) then they would have evolved in NZ
without snakes and hence no racial memory. You mean REALLY no snakes
not even in zoos! If you tell me also no wasps, I might relocate.
Of course I cannot give a good argument as to why there should be some,
I had never thought about it. Australia has snakes.......
interesting.

| Re .5/.6,
Yes Cathy, really truely no snakes, not even in zoos. One very mildy
poisonous spider. Unfortunately we do have wasps, they were accidently
imported in the 1940s in some cargo - from the US, I think, but
we don't hold it against you! Also no rabies, but we do have FeLV
- fortuantely not common.
And cats were imported (yes, I know you already knew that...), as
were all other mammals except seals and two species of bat; i.e.
no other native mammals.

2653.8 | I couldl ive with that | DNEAST::FIRTH_CATHY | owl | Mon Jul 10 1989 07:26 | 13 |
| Shayne,
You've done better than Guam ... THEY do have snakes as well as GIANT
snails inported when the Japenese occupied Guam. They ate the coral
and thus were too bitter to eat, so now they are ALL over the island.
I did enjoy my two years though.
Sounds ideal ... actually from what I understand you have "the look"
of Scotland and parts of England, but without the *serious* winter.
Thanks for the reply. You never know until you ask!
Cathy
