If you want to CAT someone, is it the done thing to ask them first on a post they're on? TIA.

No I get CATd all the time

its great

NOMurDErousPLUME · 16/10/2006 14:42

Nope.

Those who really don't want to be contacted via CAT will have opted out (there is a part on the 'your registration' page where you can specify no CATs)

evilanniedividedin2byalargeaxe · 16/10/2006 14:43

Thank you very much. (I might CAT you both later for practice!)

Do you really WB?!

Mercy · 16/10/2006 14:51

Really WB . I thought CAT messages were vetted by MN before they are passsed on. Obviously I'm wrong

HuwEdwards · 16/10/2006 14:52

Blimey welshy - abuse?

evilanniedividedin2byalargeaxe · 16/10/2006 14:56

Really? That's . DH is from Cardiff, so the dds are half Welsh, I would have just said hello really, and thanks for answering my original question!

I wasnt going to tell anyone this

but last week Rhubarb CATd me

and called me a leek eating lesbian

NOMurDErousPLUME · 16/10/2006 14:57

are you joking, WB ?

That sounds like Rhubarb's SOH tbh.

WelshBoris · 16/10/2006 14:59

I dont eat leeks

It just wasnt funny

NOMurDErousPLUME · 16/10/2006 15:01

Sorry you were upset by it. I guess she thought she wss being witty

NOMurDErousPLUME · 16/10/2006 15:01

was, not wss

SamhainWitch · 16/10/2006 15:03

It will have been a typo Welshy.

She meant daffodil eating.

MellowMonsta · 16/10/2006 15:03

I suppose you could "kind of" take that as a compliment. She must feel she knows you and can joke with you to call you that. Noone CAT's me, even to call me names, lol, I suppose that is a good thing

harpsichordcarrion · 16/10/2006 15:03

no, I suspect she meant sheep bothering.

MwaHaHappyDaddy · 16/10/2006 15:55

I've never CATd you, WelshBoris. You'll be pleased to know!

Greensleeves · 16/10/2006 15:57

everyone knows the Welsh don't eat leeks.

They wear them, on their heads

WelshBoris · 16/10/2006 16:28

I know it was a joke

I called her a Northern Jessie

You dont think Rhubarb could upset me do you? pah!

And harpsi, less of the sheep jibes please or Ill get Dino on you
