I know it wasn't Larry, 'cause he's a long way from Sunset Blvd. This sign was probably posted by some dim-witted Paris Hilton wannabe in Hollywood who "loves animals" [spoken in a perky sorority girl voice].
I always thought that even complete illiterate people could and would acquire a bit more culture thanks to zoos, national geographic documentarys or even from tv ads or cartoons, but I can see that some people have their brains like sieves with very big holes, nothing is retained.
that them thar city folk would think it was a scared cat! as for me if it were further south it would be considered supper! seeun as i dont live that far south its considered driving practice
I met one of those O'kitties on the way home in October. He dodged right the same time I swerved left. Last I say him in the mirror he was doing the crappie flop. Next day he was lunch for a couple crows. I never used to see them up here but lately they outnumber skunks.
I had never seen a possum until I moved to LA. (Same for coyotes and raccoons, too.) They're not so thick out here to be a problem, but at a former house, I had to stop leaving the dog's food bowl outside or else the possums would come up on the back porch and eat it.
One time I went out on the porch and found a little young'un on the porch railing. He "played possum" and froze, so I decided to try petting him lightly on the head and back of his neck. He actually seemed to relax and like the petting. I was most surprised by how soft and downy the fur was. It looked all rough and bristly, but it felt like silk.
