Hm, never knew that KillerB enjoyed the sight of headless cats. Next time you're in the vicinity of our cat, I'll make sure I won't leave you alone with her.

I don't go decapitating cats just because they look cute. No, I have other reasons for doing it, but that's between me and my therapist.
Don't worry, Ronald, your cat has been left alone in my company before and she is still distinctly capitated.

True, but sometimes she does act as if you sucked her brains out.
Is this thread now officially enough off topic to be moved to meaningless drivel?

Oops, did I suck her brains out? Must stop doing that.
No, this is about sippers that look like headless cats, so still on topic.

If snipped where the conversation meandered into KillerB's habits when unsupervised with cats.

I may have to concede that the sucking out of cats' brains maybe considered slightly off-topic.

Not if you would have stated that drinking from a 'headless cat jug' resembles sucking out a cat's brains. It would still be rather macabre though.

I didn't realise that you have to suck the brains out through the cat's tail?

That would be a long and difficult task. No, I was referring to drinking from the bigger, upper gap. Which, looking back at it, doesn't make any sense either, because it would be quite impossible to suck brains out of a headless cat.

Not if the brains are moved into the cavity first...

Would KillerB really do such a thing? Didn't know he had such a sick mind.

He might do it accidentally...it's not given that the person doing the sucking is the person who moves the brains....

Can I just refute, once and for all, that I ever decapitated Ronald's cat or sucked her brain out through her tail. I would not have moved the brain into the cavity to achieve this nor would I have expected anybody else to do this for me. The obvious method, as shown, is through the ear cavity.

Our cat is now sleeping with her head half on the keyboard. What are you doing? Telepathic debrainisation?

Has anyone noticed that those look like cats with their heads chopped off?

Yeah, and apparently you're supposed to suck all of the blood out of the cat's headless body through its tail!

No, no, no, you will not get away with this. You're trying to get this thread back to the topic it was originally about. Not good. We should be talking about your brain sucking habits here. Talk about the port sippers can be done in the appropriate thread in port conversations.

Personally, I thought the cat in the picture looked a bit like a black and white port sipper.

Is that Ronald's cat or mine? My cat was black, green and white and never took to Port but everything in the Roots house sipped Port, cats no exception.
