    RE: 1227.1  I think you got the wrong notes file.

    My cats don't ride ten-speeds
    
            They prefer Harleys
    
    

    Re.0. What makes you want so desperately to get rid of it that you
          post the note here :-) 
           
    Have to admit, it catches attention though :-)
           

When I saw the base note this morning, I sent mail to the author suggesting
that FELINE was not the most appropriate place for the ad and have not
heard a response.  I don't really feel right about deleting notes without
the author's permission.  Once this gets resolved, I will be more than
happy to delete the base note and all of it's replies if no one objects.

Pam

    Believe me, I don't object at all.  I asked Tabby and Silver if
    they were interested and the just said, "Now come on, MOM!  You
    know we aren't allowed to go outside!"

    Is that you Holly or do you have a sister Molly?

    Is the bike by any chance made of material you can eat?

    Corkie wants to know if it has training wheels.

    The way Lil's been acting lately she might be interested on chomping
    on the tires!!!!

    My two are partial to motorcycles - like to imagine the wind shooshing
    past their whiskers....
    
    

    I got all excited then - my cats only have 3 speeds!!
    
    1)  "Now you've broken it - lets get out of here before they catch
         us"......which is only slightly slower than...
    
    2)  DINNER!!!!!!
    
    3)  And.. "She's calling us...I suppose we ought to go" - which
         is almost slow motion.

    Hey, that's *reverse* on mine :-)

    Is it spayed/neutered and vaccinated?
    

    my guys asked if they could use it to ride to the shows instead
    of the red truck!  I said, no, of course.  they thought I was mean.

    Cuddles would love to have it but i don't allow her to go out on
    the road. She also wanted to know if maybe it comes with a kitty
    basket to ride in possibly?

You all have it all wrong -- it's a ten-speed SCRATCHING POST!!

Imagine the bike all faced with carpet, and cats all over it scratching at 
ten different speeds...

Ray

    At least they aren't looking for strings for their tennis racquet!

    RE.20
    NAAAAAAH! I don't think it is a ten speed scratching post, i'll
    bet it's a new heavy duty ten speed litterbox disposal unit, if
    it is - i'm sold!
    

    ..............as if we haven't spoiled them enought already !
    
    Now ten speed bikes.  What's next?  Yachts?

    I think this ad was entered here because the bike is actually made
    of lasagna.

    re.-1
    
    OFCOURSE they'll do it again! Ever saw a classified ad score 27
    replies in just a few hours. :-D
    
    Ad (who is BTW not going to raise the funds for Chanel and Omar
    to buy a Lasagna bike!)
    

    You know what would be fun - some us go into the classified file
    and have a real field day with some of the adds - no one else
    replies to them!!  Give people something to read!
    
    Ray, I loved your scratching post idea!  My guys would love that..
    
    E.T.

    We could turn it into an actual note:
    
    Has anyone ever taken their cat for a ride on their bike?  All I
    could think of was building some kind if cage so the kitty could
    ride where the basket usually is.  Or would this be too windy?
    
    

    Hey, c'mon folks, I'm actually looking for a bike and thought this
    ad was a nice touch...

    FOR SALE : "PORTABLE WIND-O-KITTY" 
    Customer! for a paltry 99.99 you can have this handy device for
    your cat's comfort during those strenuous bike-a-thons. Now YOU
    can enjoy the company of your cat on these excursions.
    Our PORTABLE WIND-O-KITTY comes complete with protective windshield
    to keep the fur from flying and prevent whisker-drag. The cage itself
    is made from the finest mesh imported from South Meshinia. The cage
    also comes complete with a sturdy Kitty-port-o-let with our new
    heavy duty windless litter. Also availble for just 29.99 is our
    Kitty side-to-side goggles and at our current sale price of 45.99
    we have available our official Rum-tum-tugger kitty bike jacket!
    The entire kit weighs a mere 57 pounds and afixes to the handle
    bars of your ten-speed. Sure it's a little awkward at first but
    isn't the pleasure of YOUR kitty's company worth it?.....
    
    
    
    
    
    
    P.S my brood enjoys white water rafting - any suggestions?
    

    Honey has been saving his allowance to buy a new ten-speed, and
    the blue would match his eyes.  He wants to put a little basket
    on the front for baby Chauncey...
    
    The only problem is, he looks so *STUPID* in those tight pants!
    Maybe if I get the WIND-O-KITTY, he wouldn't need them!

    > Think she'll ever open this conference again?
    
    Uh, while I know the people in this conference are probably a cut
    above the rest when it comes to compassion, it seems like there's
    an awful lot of sport being made of someone who probably made a
    simple mistake.
    
    The idea of spandex clad cats on 10 speeds *is* humorous...
    
    Could we let it slide? Maybe have the moderator delete the whole
    string and let the discspace be recovered?
    
    Maybe?
    
    ;^)

    re.33
    Personally, I think we are having fun with the idea of a cat
    on a ten-speed rather than making fun of someone who placed
    the ad. 
    As a Garfield fan an other cat comic material I have been
    getting a good chuckle out of the creative replys and never
    heard anyone personlly attack the original noter.
    
    Well, that 's just my two=cents worth...
    Fran
    

    I think we ought to thank the person that originated
    the note for all the fun we've been having!
    
    

    Boy, have I been missing out and I'm also in the
    market for a 10 speed!!!!!   Dazdee and Whicket 
    think it's a good idea too - the more I'm gone,
    the more trouble they get into :^>
    
    Katie
    

    I will personally thank this wonderful person for giving us so much
    fun.
    
    I work with her and know that she made a mistake and I will forever
    remind her of it.
    
    Actually, Deja doesn't need a ten-speed.  She goes fast enough to
    break the sound-barrier already.            
    
    
    Sandi (Lightning's & DejaVu's mom)
    
    

    But is the bike sold? I think it would be the greatest gag if the
    bike was actually sold through this note :-)
    
    

    Well.....    I am in the market for a ten speed and I actually
    answered the add.  It was nice to come accross a surprise like
    that!!  I haven't heard anything so, maybe a fellow Feline is
    busy *Biking* around!!!!!

	 Would Cinamon  feel  safe in a wagon being towed by a couple of
     hooligans?    ;-) ;-)

    Yo! TK & Bandit-o....
    
    Edd knows when to shut-up. Actually, he went out and bought me a
    brand new 12 speed Friday! Real flashy red! I let him ride it
    Saturday, but since he's not home all day, you can bet I'll be
    squeezin' into my spandex and headin' out for a cruise everyday.
    
    Tell Cinamon the best part of riding a trike is when *he* gets to
    pedal and you guys are in the trailer...
    
    Edd's still laughing at the thought of two furry terrorists on a
    tricycle...
