In my humble opinion, the thread is more about "cute" cat pictures than audio. I've no problem with its new location.
Have my flameproof suit on![]()
I've been asking for that thread for years!I guess the original thread should have been "Audio Gear on Cats", and it wouldn't have ever been moved?

John,
I don't hate cats, just not a cat person. I've spent some time in the thread, but when I want to look at other members gear, there are other threads that allow that without kitties blocking half the view.
Nice!! He is nice and comfy.

Thanks! But Caliber is only "nice and comfy" when he's sleeping! Something like this.

Otherwise, Caliber is terrorizing the house! Running everywhere, attacking me, getting into everything he can. He loves to jump at you, or jump you from behind. Picture a Velociraptor, from Jurassic Park; Caliber will jump up on his hind legs, with both front paws extended, to lunge and grab you (kind'a like Hobbes with Calvin). And when not attacking, he likes to collect things. Always moving something or pushing something off of something else. Then if he finds interesting stuff, he'll bring it to you. The best, he drug a 12X16' sized plastic drop cloth from the upstairs Den, down the steps, across the living room, and up onto the master bedroom bed. Just to be nice, and bring us a present. But, Caliber watches out the living room window, every afternoon, looking for me. He gets so happy when I pull into the driveway, and runs across the house, to meet me as I come in the door. And unlike cats, in the thread under discussion, he never gets on my audio gear! So, I guess I can't complain, since he loves me!

John,
Didn't mean to imply that you thought I hated cats. I was just making my perspective clear.
I do understand that members who frequent the thread are upset with its relocation.
On the other hand, it is still accessible in a different section of the site. The real question, in my mind, is, "who/what precipitated the relocation?"
maybe the whole point is to bring some traffic to other parts of the board.
i look at the food thread regular
It's a YouTube video. It should work -- I've tried it on several browsers -- but embedding videos doesn't work on everything.Hey Dave,
The image you uploaded is not viewable. But we say Hi as well!![]()
Oh man, it sounds like he has a great little personality. Our B/W guy is a little crazy as well.
We crack up because he makes the sound of gizmo from the gremlins. When we 1st noticed/heard him doing it we were checking our house out for some sort of critter!
For a few weeks he would make his sounds at night and i could not figure it out.
One night i heard it, and jumped and ran to see what it was. He was standing in the middle of the kitchen floor. As we all do, I started talking to him asking him what the hell that sound was... He looked right at me and made the sound. It was an OH CRAP Moment!
I have been trying to record it for a good while now. He only will do it when he wants to.
But because of that, he now has a whole personality... well that we give him but it fits.. HAHA
Thank you for the post, had me cracking up!!
Yea as you can tell, I went from a non cat person to full crazy cat manlady!
Kind Regards,
John

Cats are quite the little critters, aren't they? Smart and mischievous, and so sweet at the same time. While I've had dogs in the past, kitties are my thing now. I don't know if I take care of them, or that they take care of me? I guess it's both.
And I know about the weird kitty noises. Caliber sounds like a herd of horses when he's running through the house, making Star Trek Tribble sounds (HAHAHAHA) the whole time. And if I sleep too late, past his wake up time, he'll run through the bedroom, and howl, then up on the bed, back and forth a few times, and then back out. Caliber just making his presence known. Silly things. It's no wonder AK cat fans want the Cats on Audio Gear thread back into the mainstream. The gear and the kitties deserve it.
Take care and thanks for the kitty stories. Always priceless to hear.
