Ian and Sarah [not Nick and Scarlet] kept getting huge water bills
[fabrication]. They knew beyond a doubt
that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage, and no matter
how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they could
see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems; first
the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes,
faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, all to no avail.
One day Ian was unwell and stayed at home in bed, but kept
hearing water running downstairs [not true, it was the lady of the house who
discovered the cat's activity]. He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills.
Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not
at home. Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the 'problem' for posterity.
A female dog is nursing a litter of kittens which were orphaned when
their mother died.
Their owner, Cai, of Jiangmen, China said he has been raising cats and
dogs together for more than 10 years, and they all got along together well,
however, this was the first time he had ever seen kittens being nursed by a
dog Will and Guy have learned.
The four kittens seemed happy and content with their new mother's milk,
while the dog was tending to its adopted family with love and care. 'Several
days ago, the kittens' mother died after eating a poisoned rat, leaving
behind a litter of kittens without a source of milk,' Cai volunteered. 'The
kittens' cries may have stirred the dog's maternal nature, since it too had
recently given birth. It volunteered to take over and feed the kittens of
its old friend.'
The dog's own puppies had been taken away by one of its grown-up
offspring. Cai mused, 'That's perhaps another reason why the dog adopted the
kittens. She lost all of her own children.'

Cats Swimming - Just Being Cats
It is not strictly true to say that all cats dislike water, or more
accurately: swimming or bathing in water.
Many cats: tigers, lions, jaguars, ocelots, and jaguarondi [weasel cat] who
frequent hot climates are particularly partial to a dip in a pond, stream or
river. Cats are natural swimmers in the wild, and Asian varieties have been
known to fish in rivers and lakes. Cats bred near Lake Van in Turkey are raised
around the water; the breed [The Turkish Van] has an affinity for water, and
really likes to swim. An old breed, this cat has been a household pet for
centuries. Its water prowess is well known in Turkey, where they been known to
swim into the harbour to greet the arriving fishing boats.
However, cats from colder regions avoid water as much as possible. Snow
leopards, lynx, bobcats, and cougars for example have little interest in getting
wet. It has been said that if a cat has wet fur it can damage the ability of the
cat's fur to insulate the animal against the cold.
Most domestic cats, however, dislike getting wet. They do not enjoy water
sports and if bathed, become upset. The emphasis here is on most cats because
some domestic animals will tolerate water if they are accustomed to bathing or
showering.

Greed
In front of the local butcher's, an art connoisseur noticed a mangy little kitten lapping up milk from a saucer. The saucer, he realised with a start, was a rare and precious piece of pottery. It was, in
fact, a collector's
item.
He strolled into the store and offered two pounds for the cat. 'He's
not for sale', said the butcher.
'Look', said the collector', that cat is dirty and
scabby, but I'm an eccentric. I prefer cats that way. I'll raise my offer to ten pounds'. 'It's
a deal', said the proprietor, and pocketed the ten immediately.
'For that amount of money I'm
sure you won't
mind throwing in the saucer', said the connoisseur', 'The kitten seems so happy drinking from it.'
'I can't
do that', said the butcher firmly, 'That's
my lucky saucer. From that saucer,
so far this week, I've sold 18 cats.'
