Bar End Shifters Are Tasty

They must be, based on the evidence. I noticed this while riding today:

Darn cats. :D

[sundial]

LOL! Did you notice it on your ride or afterwards? :)

[wackyjacky1]

During. I paused to take a drink, and saw the little chew marks when I was re-caging my water bottle. I had to laugh.

They both look pretty innocent, though. :rolleyes:

No, they can't possibly be the guilty party. ;) I just love your moo kitty on the left. Black and whites are my favorite.

Black and whites are my favorite.
I call them tuxedo cats? Anyone else call them that?

[wackyjacky1]

Yeah, tuxedo cats. This particular one, though, I call a B@st@rd Cat. He's a mean sucka (and my prime suspect). :eek:

[SouthernBelle]

Just be glad one didn't mark as his territory!

[elk]

yes Zen tuxedo cats. ;-)

i want to know how they got up that high to put their wee toothy marks on your barcons!!!!!!!!!!!

What brat cats! Hard to get mad at them when they are your fur kids! I have a black and white cat too - 14 years old and still a brat. His name is Indy and I have had him since he was a mere 3-week old abandoned by his mama.

those cats can be darn right sneaky! I call them tuxedo cats also, but I've always had pure black ones (w/little tiny white spot on chest). My old guy who passed a few years ago was obsessed with chewing on anything plastic..the crinklier the better. The youngster (now 14) has a wonderful habit of anytime she expels a hairball she poops about 6 ft away from it. They always come in twos. :eek: That one I have not figured out.

obsessed with chewing on anything plastic
Hobie (the tuxedo, shown here in one of his more, uh, casual poses) does that too! Plastic bags of any sort are his specialty. Nothing is safe.

Thankfully my bike is out in the garage where the cats can't get to it. My one cat, Smokey has a thing for rubber bands. YOu can not leave one out anywhere or he will find it.

[NoNo]

When Ruthie gets bored/hungry, she randomly roams the house gnawing on things. Anything is fair game. Several parts of my bike have fallen victim, including bar tape, pedals, and tire skewers:rolleyes:

Dang, Hobie does that too. He's a menace, I tell ya.

Now I've discovered that they have chewed off the crimped caps from all the cable ends. I wonder if the cables will start to fray? :confused:

And...I just purchased one of those "Y" shaped stands for my bike because the cats like to knock my bike over...usually at about 2 a.m. I literally just got home and set the bike up on it. As soon as I'm done, I look down and see the little one, Erin, already chewing on one of the legs of the stand. What the heck is their obsession with my poor bike???!!!

My brat chews on things worse than a dog. I'm surprised I have any cables left. If she doesn't get service right away when begging for food, she chews ipod cords that my teenagers leave out in the open. If she's rubbing on you and you don't pet her right away, she will bite! I love that cat.
