Pigeons from ~~Hell.~~ Shropshire. But still messengers of Death. [Yes, they ARE coming to get you. NEWSLINK](https://thevictorianbookofthedead.wordpress.com/2024/01/31/pigeons-of-doom-1700/) India has exonerated a Pigeon of being a Spy. For China. [Next week, they will be hanging Chimps from lamp posts, on suspicion of being French.

Good God. I hope no one comes to interview my Siamese cats. They know thangs. ---

Yes, but they’re cats. They don’t care. The information is absolutely safe. ---

Are you kidding? A cat will tell all for anyone who opens a can of tuna. ---

> [@InternetLegend](#): > > A cat will tell all for anyone who opens a can of tuna. I was informed, on this very message borads that a cat would do anything for sardines. I attempted to bribe my two teenager cats (around 6 months old) with sardines, tinned. Absolutely no interrest. There is a great fish shop just down the road, maybe I could try some fresh ones. In any case, neither like canned tuna. (An aside. Years ago I used to work in a sushi restaurant. At the end of the night, they would throw out all the sushi. But I was friendly with the head sushi chef, so my girlfriend and I, and more importantly, our cat, would binge on sushi at 2am when I got home. The cat liked sashimi more than maki) To try to bring this back on topic: I have never felt the need to taste the rats of the sky. I have however eaten a pigeon’s egg. I was housesitting for a friend who had rescued a pigeon with a broken wing. She (the bird) laid an egg. She did not have nesting material in her enclosure, so she was disinterested. So I fried it and ate it. It tasted like butter. I added too much to the tiny pan I used. But what a glorious sight to see a soft fried egg only about 3cm in diameter ---
