Normally my cat Missy likes to sleep on the boxes the markers live in, but this morning, Noisy took over the boxes. She's apparently been hogging that spot all day and poor Missy looks lost ( Read more... )

Whenever we tell people we have mice in the house, they act surprised.

"Don't you have cats?" they ask. We do.

"Don't they catch the mice?" They do.

And that is the problem. ( Not for the squeamish )

Scale says I've lost eight pounds since Saturday. Is that even possible to lose that amount in such a short time? I'm guessing some of it must be water weight. Still, it's encouraging. ^_ ( Read more... )

WHY DIDN'T YOU EAT THE CHEETO I GAVE YOU?! >:(

This happens a lot. Chunky and Noisy always act like they want whatever snacky-snack I'm eating, but when they actually get it they ignore it.

I COULD'VE EATEN THAT CHEETO!

Just when I started to eat a delicious piece of candy one of the cats decideed he just had to take a dump right then. I swear he did it on purpose. >:(

I hate my job. I know, so does 99% of the population. Welcome to the club, huh?

It's not the work itself I hate. It's physically demanding (banana boxes weigh 40 pounds, potato sacks weigh 50, carrots around 50 and so one), but...it will sound weird, but I get a certain sense of accomplishment. Like, when I go home at the end of the day I can look ( Read more... )

I learned a while ago that the sound of an aresol air freshener scares them, so I grabbed a nearby can and sprayed it. My cat freaked out and ran to hide...and took a short-cut across my face. Let me repeat that:

I have no idea about the title. I'm currently using the Minty Fresh skin at HMA, so it seemed like a good title. Or something.

Speaking of HMA, a lot of people are suddenly showing up and posting. I'm talking people who haven't visited the forum in months, even years! It's not like I sent out some mass e-mail saying "Hey guys, come post here again ( Read more... )

We took Valentine to the vet today. They did some bloodwork and x-rays, but they can't make a real diagnosis without an MRI, which we can't really afford. Not to sound cruel, but Vally is 13 or 14 years old and money is tight. Anyway, the vet says it is probably either spinal degenerative disorder, which is apparantly unusual in cats, or a pinched ( Read more... )
