Strider the cat is not known for much.
“Well, he’s fat and he’s lazy,” said Barb Gansberg. “He’s kind of a pain in the rump.”
The Gansbergs gave Strider to their daughters 10 years ago, but he soon became “their problem,” as they say.
Once they realized Strider was there to stay, they immediately laid out some ground rules, which means the bedrooms are off limits.
According to KOMO, while Gansberg was home alone on Tuesday, Strider walked into the bedroom.
As she walked into the hallway, she came face-to-face with two burglars inside her home. She yelled, and the men took off.
Immediately, the thieves ran away and were arrested about a block away.
Now, Strider is being credited with saving the day.
Spaghetti would show them where the good jewelry is.
I wonder if that’s a Bombay?
And this thief is done in prison, getting chased away by a fat cat!!
very pretty cat, too
“She” who yelled? The cat or the lady?
I’m guessing they mean the cat, but usually, people don’t say that a cat ‘yelled’. Screamed or shrieked, yes, but rarely ‘yelled’.
I was thinking the same thing!!!
Doesn’t YELLING usually indicate a word was used? :)
Yelling and screaming are different, right? Now i have to look them up!! :)
For a cut.
Anybody vho read that sentence and didn’t know you had a cat named spaghetti, would think you have a brain injury.
Maybe it was Behemoth from The Master and Margarita... but in that case the cat may have had a gun too.
ROFL!!! Where am I? What board is this? :)
Yelling is an active verb mostly used in reference to something a human being is doing. But then whatever, it’s just a word and this is a light topic.
The cat is grand to look at. Well cared for.
Pretty coat, right?
Seein’ da pic, I now undastand da burglars fred when day seen da big black cat an runned away. Day was racist I sayz!!
Strider knows she owns the house and nobody should mess with her. I love cats, they are all a little different.
WHERE do you people learn this stuff?!
I feel like flushing my college degree.
I had to take my normally sociable,soft spoken Maine coon to the vet the other day and he protested loudly and attacked so bad they had to knock him out to take a blood test.
Whoever wrote that doesn’t know cats or the english language very well.
AGREED!
