Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2004Rubberband Monster
I keep a number of rubberbands hanging on my bedroom door for putting on my broomstick skirts when I wash them (to set the crinkles). But one rubberband is larger than the others, so it dangles. Robin has been interested in it. One day I came home from work and the band was not on the door. I spotted it on the floor later but was too busy to pick it up. I forgot about it. The next day I saw it again in another part of the room. This went on for a few days. On my day off i suddenly remembered it and was going to pick it up. I went toward the bedroom and spotted Djoser doing acrobatic leaps and flips and turns. Then I saw the rubberband flying through the air where Robin neatly caught it. But the rubberband monster was too wiley for him and suddenly Robin was leaping and flipping as the rubberband leaped and sailed through the air. Robin and Djoser are experts at going after greeblings and they somehow knew the rubberband was a monster that was alive and had to be tamed. I am so grateful to have two monster-catchers. ;-) CATherine, wondering about other innocent-looking monsters in the house Say, CAT, do you or your son have anything like a yahoo-type email addy?

If you are both members of catslaves, you could do worse than use the catslaves chat room (nobody uses it these days). Or you could just IM each other.

Sadly enough, Real Life has sucked lots of us away from being able to chat most of the time, but when we *do* get to chat we use Yahoo IM Conference, as the catslaves chatroom sent us to the mothership so often. IM does it too, but it's a little more stable. ------ Krista Who hasn't seen Sam on chat in a loooong time PS: Apologies if this appears twice.

Very true. It seems that two years ago, I could sit on the PC for *hours* and chat away happily. These days I get maybe half an hour at a time, and thats usually spent desperately trying to catch up with my whole three newsgroups (of which, this one gets priority) and keep up with my e-mail. The 24 hours of two or so years ago seem to be much shorter than the 24 hours that I get now, and I'm sure that once the Yowlet turns up, those 24 hours will be *really* short! I do occasionally manage to chat with people - but being an antipodian, the timing isn't great. The time when most of you guys ar emost available to chat, ie, your evening, I'm about to go off to work (and yes, chat has caused me to be late way to many times) and when I have time to spare in the evenings, most of you are still in bed. The Buropeans tend to have a better schedule so I've chatted to Lena a fair bit (although not recently) but its been a very long time since we've had a 5 (or more) way chat session going. The ones that involved TJ seem to be the most memorable....

Mike's most favorite bestest toy **ever** is rubber bands; however, he can never, never have them, because after he kills them he *eats* them. If he ever finds one I have to watch him like a hawk until he's distracted for a nanosecond, and grab it quick and sneak it into the trash. :-( ------ Krista > > I keep a number of rubberbands hanging on my bedroom door for putting > > on my broomstick skirts when I wash them (to set the crinkles).

Now I try to keep them away from her. :-( Joy > Robin and Djoser are experts at going after greeblings and they > somehow knew the rubberband was a monster that was alive and had to be > tamed. I am so grateful to have two monster-catchers. ;-) At least they don't eat it! I have to keep all rubberbands in my house completely inaccessible to Roxy or she'll chew it into little pieces. I don't like to think where the missing parts went! Joyce > > Robin and Djoser are experts at going after greeblings and they > > somehow knew the rubberband was a monster that was alive and had to be [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Joyce So far the rubberband doesn't seem to taste good. But I used to have a cat years ago that would chew my ponytail holders.

Yowie Broomstick skirt, for Gen-X & Y's, or the curious, was popular some time ago: multiple sharp pleats created by wrapping light-material skirt tightly around a broomstick and secure that way, letting it dry into tight wrinkle/pleats. : > I keep a number of rubberbands hanging on my bedroom door for putting : > on my broomstick skirts when I wash them (to set the crinkles).

I used to have one and it came with instructions to twist it up and then tie it into a knot for storage. Kept the winkles really well that way. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > > Broomstick skirt, for Gen-X & Y's, or the curious, was popular some time > > ago: multiple sharp pleats created by wrapping light-material skirt [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > I used to have one and it came with instructions to twist it up and then tie > it into a knot for storage.
