Cat

This show reaches globally, so thanks for tuning in.

And now, get ready to immerse yourself in the art of effective communication with your host, Alan London, right here on Cat 81 Radio, South Florida.

well normally jaggy and i are bright and cheery when we log on at five in the morning every day but today september 11 2024 is a very hard day especially the families of the 343 firefighters that lost their lives and almost 3 000 civilians there are many port authority police other police and other people that were helping that were killed.

I was assigned to our technical rescue unit almost 16 years, and some of our guys, many of our guys that were on FEMA Task Force 2 were up there, and some of the guys are really, really sick to this day.

10-4.

Manhattan Cornfield, Comcat, we're merging.

Manhattan Cornfield, Com, we're merging, Cat.

Proceed Manhattan, field count.

Insects were affected and then the animals that ate those insects were affected.

And among the casualty? Cats.

Some cats were exposed to DDT by eating contaminated animals.

Others would pick up residue on their fur and then sadly swallow it while grooming themselves.

Parachutes were attached and the baskets were loaded onto RAF transport aircraft.

And then the aircraft flew over remote villages and dropped them.

Cats with parachutes.

Now, imagine looking up in the sky and seeing a basket floating down and then realising there's a cat inside.

They'll take advantage of a turnover or two and let the offense do its thing.

Now, I don't think necessarily K-State's going to cover that 19.5-point favoritism in this game, but I do think it is somewhat decisive, 34-17 for the Cats.

And that's going to do it for this week's primer.

This is Fireball Matt from the Cocaine Willie podcast.

Enjoy this week's game.

If you're tailgating, be responsible or don't get caught.

And as always, go Cats and EMOD.

And before we keep things going, I want to give a shout out to our new friends over at NordVPN.

Rio.

The Cats.

The Cats.

And who's your favourite player? I want to know before you leave us.

Boss.

The legend, Luke McFarlane, will be with us.

Chris London will be joining us to balance up things.

Chris is a Perth Cats supporter, part of the big group there.

The alleged carjacker was on bail at the time.

And in sport, the Cats go into tonight's semifinal against Fremantle in Perth unchanged.

While there are two changes for the Dockers, Judd McVie and Corey Wagner are back in for the Dockers.

Okay, Jordan, thank you.

Tracy, thank you.

But I just, oh, God, I feel for this family involved with Fred the cat.

Like, can you imagine? Cats get out.

It happens.

The Fables of Bidpai by Anonymous, translated by Abdullah Ibn al-Muqaffa and Joseph Harris.

The Greedy and Ambitious Cat.

Fable three.

There was formerly an old woman in a village, extremely thin, half-starved, and meager.

Her visage and her eyes were inflamed with joy, and that booty served her for a whole week.

And out of the excess of her admiration and distrust of her own happiness, she would cry out to herself, Heavens! Is this a dream, or is it real? One day, however, ready to die for hunger, she got upon the ridge of her enchanted castle, which had long been the mansion of famine for cats, and spied from thence another cat that was stalking upon a neighbor's wall like a lion, walking along as if she had been counting her steps, and so fat that she could hardly go.

The old woman's cat, astonished to see a creature of her own species so plump and so large, with a loud voice cries out to her pursy neighbor, In the name of pity speak to me, thou happiest of the cat kind, why you look as if you came from one of the Khan of Cathay's feasts.

I conjure ye to tell me how, or in what region it is that you get your skin so well stuffed.

They came and began their feast as usual, but soon their sense of taste told them there was some mistake, and they retired vigorously rubbing their mouth parts to take away the puckering sensation of the alum.

cigar smokers who really enjoy the weed confess that they cannot tell except by sight when the cigar goes out in the dark they keep right on drawing air through the cigar and the pleasure of the smoke seems to be in no wise diminished after the cigar is out unless the smoker discovers he has no light this seems to show that the sense of taste has little to do with the pleasure of smoking tongues are used in tasting seizing food assisting the teeth to chew covering the food with saliva swallowing and talking man and the monkey having hands to grasp food do not use their tongues for this purpose the giraffe does so much reaching and straining after food in the branches of trees that his tongue has become by long practice a deft instrument for grasping the woodpecker uses his tongue as a spear and the ant-eater runs his long tongue into the nest of a colony of ants so as to catch large numbers of the little insects on its sticky surface Cats and their kind have a peculiarity in that instead of having cone-shaped papillae, their tongues are covered with sharp spines of great strength.

These are used in combing the fur and in scraping bones.

Two characteristic accomplishments of man would not be his if it were not for his versatile tongue.

In Mousewold Street, by which the waste was bordered on the south, there was neither cat nor dog to lap the bright blue puddles of rainwater or to chase the paper insects.

No black mouser ran across the open spaces after sparrows or sat in the bread shop window waiting for the return of the baker and his family.

Cats had been exterminated in those parts when food became scarce, and now only the ghosts of stray cats filled the dark waste with cries at midnight and flitted across Carrington Road in front of trams at noon.

Carrington lay south of the river, and though surrounded on every side by slums and streets of dirty houses, might have been on the outskirts of Cambridge or Nottingham rather than in London.

Mousewold Street itself resembled a country lane.

Lucy Way holds a spot in the side.

And then for the Cats, two changes.

Nicholas Stephens omitted.

Jasmine Stewart omitted.
