[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 694462, member: 1963"] Sorry, Copa. I tend to be rather literal in my interpretations of both speech and the written word. That didn't even occur to me. I'm sorry if I made you feel sad or worried. If it's any consolation, I do know that a domestic cat cannot kill a turtle, except perhaps a newly hatched one. When I lived up North, my Jakey (RIP little man) showed up batting something around and throwing it all over the drive way. I went to see what all the racket was and initially thought it was a hockey puck. Once I got Jakey detached from his toy, I realized that it was a baby red slider turtle. (endangered, and not just this individual). Sliders are able to pull everything into their shell and slam the door, which this baby luckily had. I took the little one down to the end of the property, hiked down the ravine to the swamp, and desposited the little one on a dry tussock in the swampy area I figured it'd come from. I waited, hidden behind some brush. It took that poor, little thing a half hour to recover enough from its fright to stick its head out of its shell. It finally made its slow way to the water and swam off. [/QUOTE]
