[edit] Capitalizing "Flight"
I'm not certain why that was adopted as the standard. However, googling some famous flights like "Pan Am Flight 103" seems to show that most (though not all) other media do capitalize it. The most important thing is to have predictability and consistency within Wikipedia, so that when you type in a link, you don't inadvertently get a redlink merely because you chose a different capitalization standard. -- Curps 15:08, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Gateways
I replied to your comment on the airline infobox talk page. Since for most airlines, international gateways are either focus cities or hubs, I'm not sure another section is necessary. Dbinder 13:04, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cats vs. "some" cats
Hi, if you wish to suggest that toilet training has more potential success, than I implied, I welcome such a change. However, I do assert that some cats are just not trainable by *humans*. Litter training is special, since digging in the dirt is natural and often (not always) taught by mom. My attitude, comes partly from cats that are especially violent, and hostile to unwanted human interference/handling. For instance, one cat I knew, was so violent, he had to be sedated with a pill mixed in his food in advance of being taken to the vet. I doubt that cat could be trained to use the toilet. As well, certain cats have a blinding fear of water, and one traumatic experience could keep them away from a toilet (while they would never be afraid of dirt/litter). --rob 19:56, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- In reply to your question, the ultra-violent cat I mentioned to you (the one that needed sedation), probably wasn't socialized properly, since it was adopted from a shelter when several months old, with unknown origins, and may have lived on the street. However, it seemed to be something he was "born with". I say that, because wild animals (cats or not) generally won't be pointlessly (as opposed to defensively) violent to the point of self-inflicted-pain. While, wild animals (cats or not) generally don't make good pets, they're usually not so dangerous. But, this is speculation on my part, so I won't be putting that in the article. It is truly amazing how unique every cat is, and how hard it is to generalize. --rob 07:18, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Panther
Is this your cat? Love the pic btw. It made me smile. --mav 22:56, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
I love the toilet trained cat. Can Panther flush =P and what does the cat do instead of covering what they've done?
- Usually he just comes and tells me what he's done, and I can flush it for him. I'm glad he can't flush, since he might not conserve water as well as we do! ;) Reward 18:35, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
