No pics on the new computer yet but I can bet My wifes cat cost the taxpayers of Alberta more than any gereric domestic shorthair ever....
A few stories to be told here but skipping to the end...my wife was mauled by a bear and when the helocopter evac arrived at the cabin we were at it panicked the cat( which is A. my wifes baby and B. spoiled to hell as a result). Anyhow the 1st words out of my wifes mouth when she came out of surgery was "where is midnight"..... My answer was safe and fine but in my brain "oh sht were is the damn cat". So the cabin was 140 KM by helocopter into the bush and the Forestry guys found out Shauna wanted her cat so they started to divert heocopters to that cabin to find the cat...which hid everytime it heard a helocopter.....this went on 4-5 times a day for 4 days until someone finally found the cat hiding in the top of a closet safe and sound.....now figure at least 90 minutes flight time 16 times minimum at 1000$ per hour on average (at the time) or about 24000 $ just to find the cat...
