Day 1437: Pond Reviews

Gorgeous Goes FishingAs much as I love tinned Tuna, there is nothing better than fresh fish.

Thanks to the warmer weather, several of the neighbours have setup a buffet which will provide me with Midnight Munchies for the rest of the summer. There’s nothing better than a meal that not only moves, but tries to escape before you eat it!

In light of this, I though I would post a review of some of the best and worst Ponds in the area for snacking.

  • The Pond behind the Johnson’s Duplex (5 out of 5)
    • A great shallow pond stocked with many varieties of fish including Koi and Goldfish. A quick flip of the paw usually lands you a tasty treat.
  • The Pond by the Smith’s Garden (3 out of 5)
    • Algae Warning!! This pond has a good variety of small fish. However, because of the blanket of algae growing there, the fish can be tricky to catch. They hide in the depths under the cover of green. Even if you manage to land a fish, it has that offensive seaweed smell.
  • The Pond beside the Miller’s House (0 out of 5)
    • This pond is guarded by Satan: The 100lb Rottweiler. I spent an entire night trying to outsmart this monster. I succeeded eventually just to find out that there are NO fish in this pond! Apparently it’s a “Water Garden!” What a waste of time and effort!
  • The Pond behind the Jones’ House (2 out of 5)
    • Plenty of fish, but way too deep. The poor construction around the edge doesn’t provide for good footing. Not only do I hate swimming, but also the 4-6 hours it takes for my fur to dry.
  • The Pond in front of the Verdoux House (1 out of 5)
    • French Fish! Yuk!!
  • The Pond behind the Fish Store (5 out of 5)
    • Now this is a prime feasting location! Hundreds of fish of varying sizes. And the best part is, they re-stock regularly. They even have Tadpoles! Nothing like a fish-like critter that slides down your throat like an Oyster.
  • The Pond in the Public Park (0 out of 5)
    • Take my advice and stay away from any Public Ponds. Not only are the fish seasoned with Ape Urine, you tend to catch more condoms than anything else.

And always, ALWAYS, do your fishing at night under the cover of darkness. Apparently Apes don’t take kindly to us Cats just helping ourselves.

So I ate a $300 Koi. That’s no reason to beat me senseless with a broom!
