3349.0. "when a cat's not a cat" by DYO780::AXTELL (Dragon Lady) Mon Feb 19 1990 15:59

    Whilst Spud and I were enjoying our last bath, I started wondering
    what he'd be if he weren't a cat. Just looking into his eyes will
    tell you there's something to him besides some fur and a loud meow.
    
    In the middle of last night I finally figured it out.
    
    If Spud wasn't Spud... he'd be Dan Quayle!

    
    
    (Ok, so I have strange dreams!)

Our Boss Tweed would be a dog if he wasn't a cat.

When we put him on the vet's examing table this past Saturday, he glared
at the vet and ever so clearly said "Grrrrr,  WOOF".

Even the vet said she had never heard a cat say Woof!  I don't think he
appreciated the gales of laughter that his ferocious noise caused, but
we couldn't help it...

    that a TURKEY in your pocket..."
    
    Henri(etta)?  Why she'd be Frank Bruno or Mike Tyson after a sex

3349.6CRUISE::NDCPutiput Cattery - (DTN: 297-2313)Tue Feb 20 1990 10:521
    Well, I think that perhaps Bob would be Chico Marx.
3349.7Hi big boy, gotta pizza? Wanna good Time?FENNEL::SPINGLERTue Feb 20 1990 11:3811
    This took a little thought, Spot would be Zarivia Hollender, (The Happy
    Hooker,) "Let me roll over and show you my bikini."  She loves to
    hustle men!
    
    Panther would be, perhaps Princess Grace of Monaco (or anywhere else
    with a *WARM* climate.)
    
    Feline anthropomorphic,
    
    Sue & The Princess & the Hooker
          (Panther)      (Spot)

3349.9SCRUZ::CORDES_JASet Apartment/Cat_Max=3Tue Feb 20 1990 23:179
    Amelia would be Shirley Temple (she's so sweet).
    
    Carrie would be Carrie Nation (her namesake), in fact I'm not sure
    it isn't her in reincarnated form.
                                                   
    Bailey - I'm not sure who she would be...I can't seem to see her
    in any other form than that which she is.

3349.10Mine know who they are ...VAXWRK::SKALTSISDebWed Feb 21 1990 00:1316
    Pip would be Wonder Woman (movie version, not the TV show), and in her
    spare time she would double as a bunny rabbit

    Argus would be Haystack Calhoun

    Eirene would be the Fabulous Moolah
    Panther would be Don Juan

    Alex would be a female version of Alexander the Great

    Niky would definitely be a super-hero (with a little red cape, a big red
    "N" on his chest and red high-top sneakers).

    And Spiro would be Ravishing Rick Rude

    Deb
3349.11I changed my mindCRUISE::NDCPutiput Cattery - (DTN: 297-2313)Wed Feb 21 1990 11:053
    Bob is definitely HARPO Marx, not Chico.
      
    Jack thinks he's (Bob) Vidal Sasoon.
3349.12My two are worlds apart...MAMIE::IVESWed Feb 21 1990 13:4112
    Mocha would definately be a motorcycle gang leader, with the heavy
    boots, and all the leathers with the metal nail studs and chains.
    When Mocha walks, it would sound like, "Chink, Chink, Chink" No
    softness to this kitty. 
    
    HOWEVER, we have Ming to make up for "Mr Macho" She is all sweetness
    and softness and love. She would represent the gentile soul in the
    four legged family any day. Too look at her is to have your heart
    melt.

3349.13Who bought that coffee mug?!FSHQA1::RKAGNOA Cat Makes a Purrfect FriendWed Feb 21 1990 16:0332
    Barbara, your note made me laugh!  I can just picture Mocha on his
    motorcycle all decked out with the gang!!
    
    This past Christmas, Dana and I couldn't afford to buy each other
    gifts, but wanted to at least do a little something for each other.
    On Christmas day, he came downstairs with a small box in his hand.
    It just so happened that at the same time he presented it to me,
    all the cats gathered round.  He handed me the box and said, "this
    is from the cats, they all went out and got jobs while you were
    working so they could buy you a present."  Inside the box was a
    ceramic coffee mug with three tabby cats on it.  I thanked him for
    it, but he insisted it was the cats who purchased it, not him, then
    proceeded to recite what jobs they took to earn their pennies (cats
    don't earn much per hour, you know!).
    
    T.K. is a large, macho looking cat, so he drove Dana's truck and
    plowed driveways for extra cash.  Nikki is a wimp, not capable of
    hard labor, and got a job tending bar during the day.  Kirby looks
    like the rugged, all-american type, so our condo management hired him
    to work construction and finish building Phase 4 of our complex.
    Kelsey is a bit feminine, and took a salesclerk position at the
    local department store.  Finally, Murdock was much too young to
    get his working papers for a real job, so he was hired to walk dogs
    in the neighborhood (somehow I can't picture this!).
    
    To this day, Dana still swears that he did not buy me that coffee
    mug!  Nevertheless, his creative imagination never ceases to amaze
    me.

3349.14.. where is my lunchbox momAIMHI::MCCURDYWed Feb 21 1990 16:148
    that is sooo cute.. my S/O is a mason,, and he keeps
    saying that he is going to get Happy and Precious "hardhats"
    and they can help him "build America as he puts it.." and we all know
    that there is no way that Pookie is going to wear a hardhat or "work"
    .. she would prefer  just "monitor and watch her investments grow..
    she might dabble in some onsulting though.. hmmmm

    	Brandi - Queen Elizabeth (or any queen for that matter)  She's
    		"the boss".
    
    	Sasha - would be the leader of a female motorcycle gang.  She's
    		a bully and can be a wicked b**ch!  But she does have her
    		soft side.  
    
    	Duke - Cary swears Duke is the reincarnate of his father. Cary's
    		father died Dec. 88 and Duke was born Jan. 89.  Cary's
    		dad had the same symptoms Duke does and both are/were
    		fighters....
    
    	Chloe - A southern belle.  She's definitely feminine and very
    		timid.

3349.17Who would Bob be...CRUISE::NDCPutiput Cattery - (DTN: 297-2313)Thu Feb 22 1990 10:525
    Then again, after watching him some more and considering his
    name...he could be "Bobcat Goldthwait" 
    
      AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
    
3349.18My FamilyVANISH::ATKINSThu Feb 22 1990 11:2828
    
    Holly would be either "the Red Barron" or "Biggles".  As I was driving
    off to work a few week ago I could see my husband frantically waving at
    me in my rear view mirror.  As I stopped, a small brown object went
    flying off the roof of my car and onto the ground.  It seem Holly (a
    brown Burmese) was standig on the roof head held high, and Alan swears
    she had on a leather flying helmet, goggles and and biggles scarf  -
    she was fine from her landing and she must have removed the articles of
    clothing very quickly and hidden them because I didn't see anything on
    her!!
    
    Ben would be Frank Bruno - he is a big black cat who wakes me up every
    moring with a very gentle punch in the face.  He is very big - and very
    gentle.
    
    His sister Becky would be me - we are both 'slightly overweight' - we
    both are 'short waisted' and have 'hormone problems' - thats our excuse
    anyway!  But we are both quite cute!!
    
    Blanche is a very regal looking and acting mistress of some long gone
    King of England who was called Blanche.
    
    Barney (female) is the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland - the cat
    with a big grin on it's face - she also has a tail like a fox.
    
    Thelma
    
    PS Becky and I are on a diet!!

3349.20DYO780::AXTELLDragon LadyMon Mar 05 1990 17:437
    Tasia Marie decided to inform me of what she *really* is.
    
    Ms. Marie happens to be a bird (when she's not a Burmese, that is).
    And not just any bird.  She's an owl.
    
    Talk about split personalities!
    
3349.21DYO780::AXTELLDragon LadyFri Mar 30 1990 18:014
    I figured out what Joshua is when he's not being a cat.  
    
    He'd be a porn star.  The dumb cat won't mate without an audience.
    
3349.22kitty superherosDYO780::AXTELLDragon LadyMon May 14 1990 19:3511
    Well Spud (a.k.a. Dan Quayle) is leading a double life.
    
    Joshua (spud's daddy) has taken him on as an apprentice kitty super
    hero.  Together they are...
    
    Trash Cat & Rubbish.  You should see them in their little capes,
    flinging themselves from the top of the fridge into to garbage can,
    in their tireless search for evil-doing trash (or cat food lids
    as the case may be).
