Poor kitty--he's gotta eat too. Maybe they could trap him by putting out a really big can of Friskies.

Cat eats dog near Llangadog.

Tests showed that the animal had been in the process of eating the pet.

It used to be, that this sort of thing was determined by simple observation. No wonder Llangadog is going to the cats.

Whippet, whippet good. ~DEVO

Ernie Ladd ate a dog?

Was the book true to the Basil Rathbone movie, and was it as good?

The correct question is, "Was the movie true to the book...?"

Not entirely and it wasn't as good. Movies very rarely are. The directors and producers never get the sets and characters quite right.

Here's a question-- What is the first thing you know?

[org.whodat]

A cat is a cat is a cat. A donkey cross to a horse gives a mule, a mule is infertile. A donkey and a horse are different species. Ever see a common hose cat cross breed with a bobcat. Now think, don't all dogs cross breed.

That looks like a beautiful Maine coon cat.

I have a 4 pound Yorky and a 20 pound black cat. I guess thank goodness they get along or the little dog would be vittles!

I thought that was the Hound of the Baskervilles. He killed it, too. (Don't tell PETA.)

Picture, please.

No wonder those hillfolk in Wales are keeping this to themselves.

A few weeks ago, I dropped in at the Sherlock Holmes Museum. It was at 223 Baker Street, though, as I recall. There is a bank building taking up 221.

I don't remember seeing a cat, but I've been in a bookstore that had a cat and I suspect they've sold "Hound of the Baskervilles" there.

I just walked.

LOL

[patriciaruth]

Ping!

[Meem the Scream]

You made me chuckle!

[Meem the Scream]

You're completely right. The movie is never as good as the book, and I think it's because one's own imagination from reading the book is always going to be better than someone else's interpretation. I'm always disappointed with the movie… even Gone With the Wind. Though I love the movie like crazy, the book was so much better.

[Jemian]

Of course. I had forgotten that. It occurs very early in the book, around the fourth or fifth chapter.

Silly me.

Must be a fondness for french cuisine !
