In the thread on scam , Hal Bryan says if we report scam a certain way, it is quick and he can "get back to feeding the cats".
We stopped on the way back from Osh one time at a small town in Nebraska, and took the courtesy car to town for lunch. In the adjacent old wooden run down hangar we could see a thin, neglected cat, So we brought some food back and put it on a paper plate in front of the hangar for the Kitty, Imedialtety about a dozen other barn cats came out of hiding, I felt lke a Marine at Chosin Resevoir, where did all those guys come from? A local teenager said, "Dont feed those cats or they will follow you home". That gave me pause for a minute but then I thought, hey we are in a Bonanza and not even a Cheeta can run 170 knots. Anyway we were sad to have to leave the thin one, but we did our best.
I"ve never owned a Cat, but if I did I'd like to have a Navy blue one whose name starts with Wild or even better Bear, like a friend of mine. There are places like Texas where barn cats are very usefull and where there are rattlesnakes. The CAF even had a topic with photos of barn(hangar) cats and even a snake or two, maybe EAA should have such photos. By the way, cats seem to hang around planes that have props and burn gasoline, dont think they like jets much.
