I passed it by first time around. But in response to Leuko's question, I
was going to offer -

Koshered penguins ?

As for the ***-cats, SOL here in Calgary. Cats roamin' the
neighbourhood, scratching and peeing on peoples' veggie patches or
flowers - strictly verboten under cat by-laws. Same of course applies to
dogs - can't be free roaming. Nevertheless, ***-cats will get short
pickings being housebound..

Can't wait for a modern day *** Whittington to say, "See, you've got
all these damned mice and rats, because your cats are housebound".

I know Alberta folklore amuses Pete, like the bicycle cops giving
speeding tickets to *cyclists*. Well, in all seriousness we have our
Alberta Rat Patrol. And it is very, very effective. The rats come from
the East, (probably Donald shoos them on their way), via Saskatchewan,
or perhaps on trucks - but the 'Patrol', some 12 guys, does keep them
out - so we are rat free. For obvious reasons, rats don't attempt to
play 'tourists', coming from further up in the Great White North, nor
from the West, BC, because of the Rockies acting as a snowy barrier;
same sort of thing stops them traipsing in from Montana - that's
assuming there are rats in Montana.
