Cat language

TheCatWoman

I often talk to my cats and they often answer, I try and work out what they're trying to say. Boris my tuxedo cat has a good range of swear words, especially when I put any flea or worm drop on him, it sounds to me like 'FILTH, FILTH, HASSOCKS!' I can get the filth bit as hte stuff does smell a bit, but hassocks!?

He says milk, and if he dosen't it or dosen't get it fast enough, he stretches up and digs his claws in a bit just under your bum cheek and then tries to pull down your trousers!

  • I've just logged on for the 1st time in a wee while and I looked at the heading "Cat Language" and thought, this sounds for good reading and I would post a comment about my cat.

    Instead, it's mostly a topic of censorship around certain words that "someone" deems offensive and not permitted to use.

    I didn't join this organisation and discussion forum to be under censorship and this, sadly is what it is. so for that, I'm removing my account, I do not wish to be part of something that censors people's use of words that is deemed to be offensive when it's not a swear word in any shape or form.

    Thank you for sharing your thought process - rather than just disappearing.  I fear that many of us may soon reach the same conclusion for similar reasons..........and yet.........if some of us don't stay to defend the perspective that you express.....then the whitewash is complete?!

    Craig - I wish you well.......and am genuinely sorry that you feel "drummed out" of this place.  That makes me sad!

    For any members who are interested in "trying" to unpick these responses - please know that my response that starts "Fwiw" was posted 1st - and it appeared for about 5 minutes, before being "disappeared."  I then made my second post that starts "My original" about 1 hours after my "Fwiw" post had been 'disappeared'........and then.....as if by magic, within 5 minutes of that second post, my 1st post "re-appeared."

    Does NAS understand that WE ARE AUTISTIC......and therefore, that this "performance" is -at best- poor, and -at worst- DEEPLY damaging for us?!

    My original response to your post here Craig has been "disappeared"!  I hope you (and others) saw the original.  AND FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT REQUIRED "CENSORSHIP" IN MY ORIGINAL POST HERE.

    Something, is going BADLY wrong on this forum at the moment.

    Fwiw.....I actually don't think there is any malice nor forethought on the part of NAS......I personally think that "events have simply overtaken them/us" and there is either insufficient resource and/or insufficient stomach and/or too rigid a "cloud" structure, to enable them to keep this as a safe and inclusive [AND HUMAN] place for human autists to reside within.

    Like I say, it does make me sad - and like I say = I do wish you well!........but I also fear for the souls of people like me who came here in need of solace......I'm not sure that "solace-providers" can/will summon the fortitude to survive here for too much longer.

    Godspeed brother.

    Thank you but yeah, I'm not willing to be part of anything that censors free speech, I can accept that no swear words be permitted but being censored for words that basically are used in everyday comment is a bridge to far for me.

    I do thank for the advice and support given when I first joined but it seems NAS is doing it's best to destroy all that.
