5014.0. "Cats Category in Final Jeopardy" by MRSTAG::MTAG () Tue Oct 15 1991 14:58

    Did anyone watch Jeopardy last night?  One of the categories was CATS. 
    One of the questions was something like:  Cats have 5 toes; 4 toes
    together and one on the side.  What's the name of that toe off to the
    side?
    
    It's called the Do Toe.  I never knew that.
    
    It was funny watching it last night.  The contestants were 2 men and a
    woman and everyone avoided the Cats category until the end.  They
    obviously were not cat fanciers (which was an answer).

    Actually, it is spelled Dew, not Do.
    
    No harm intended; just wanted to point it out.

    Dew Claw.....
    
    This is the claw that is removed on some dogs,
    i.e. Doberman comes to mind.

    You would be amazed at the number of people that don't know how many
    toes a cat has.  I used to love playing Trivial Pursuit with non-cat
    people. :')
    
    That was one round of jeopardy that I would have been able to compete
    in. :')

    	Not about Jeopardy but thought I'd post it here anyway.
    
    	Did anyone watch Rescue 911 last night?  They had a story
    	about an off duty female officer who saw a doe get hit on
    	the highway.  The driver kept going.  She stopped and radioed
    	it in.  Three other men stopped, one of them using his truck
    	to block traffic from the doe.  The three men pulled her off
    	the highway onto the shoulder area.  She was severely injured
    	and couldn't be saved so when another police officer showed
    	up, they put her out of her misery.  (some of this was actual
    	footage)  Next thing you know, one of the guys mentions that
    	the doe's stomach was moving.  She was pregnant!  The guy
    	with the truck went and got a utility knife and they gave
    	the mom a c-section to save the fawn.  It was incredible!
    	They squeezed some milk from the mom into a bottle cap and
    	got the baby to take some of it.  Then she let out her first
    	cry!  It was *so* cute!  She wanted to stand up and run so
    	they put her in the woman's van and took her to an exotic
    	animal hospital where they cleaned her up.  (BTW - they
    	named her Freeway)  She's now a happy and healthy fawn
    	being raised on an animal farm of sorts.  The whole story
    	brought tears to my eyes!

    JJ,
    
    That was one of the best episodes of 911 I've ever seen!  I cried
    through the whole thing, the first tears were because I was sad and the
    rest were definately tears of joy.

    Thanks for entering the story here in the file.  I was flipping
    through channels and happened to catch the brief preview where 
    they showed cars swerving on the freeway, then flipped back through
    just as a woman was talking about how said it will be when the fawn
    has to leave.  I've been wondering what the story was.
