Tampons.  Still in their wrapping.  Especially the OB kind.  Perfect
little missiles.

Ok, what is the "OB kind"

Here, there are two sorts. With or without "applicators". Never heard of an
OB type.

(if the explanation is err, too graphic for a family NG, please e-mail me -
I"m curious)

OB is a brand name. They come without the "applicator".

The OB kind is the kind without applicator.  The brand name is OB.

Lilets, here in the UK.  Well, that's the main brand - most manufacturers
now do non-applicator tampons.  Even Tampax.

The problem with non-applicator tampons is that you can't have long
fingernails ;-)

Not a problem at all.  Fingernailed people learn how to
use those fingernails wisely and safely.

It's a brand name.  They don't have applicators, so they make a nice,
compact little missile. ;)

the fabric covered elastic hair bands - my cats absolutely love them.  I had
a handful, all have been hijacked by the felines.  Easy to carry, easy to

At least yours doesn't dig the used ones out of the trash!  I have an
acquaintance who warned me that might happen when I got Persia.  Luckily,
the only thing she picks out of the bathroom trash is Q-tips, which I
promptly take away from her.

Bless his little heart, no.  Still, it's not what you want ricocheting
off the walls when company comes.  The little goof steals my makeup
brushes, too. ;)

Persia likes to take empty toilet paper rolls out of the trash can, too.
She just loves batting those around.  And no, you don't want either of those
'toys' flying around when company comes to visit!

I had a hard enough time explaining to my mother that commercial where the
woman moves the milk-carton tab while vacuuming the carpet. :)

That was the Whiskas commercial "cat people know" was the theme - guess your
mom isn't a "cat people" :)

and would love for someone to explain why they are fascinated with qtips.
Stumbles digs them out of the garbage too.  Cannot understand why those.

Not about to try the tampons - w/my luck the dog would get a hold of it and
carry it around in her mouth.... :)

My mom isn't an any kind of pet person.  She and my dad simply don't
understand the joys of having a pet.   Although, when I was 24 and had to
move back in briefly after my divorce, I brought my 10 lb. mutt dog with me.
My dad warned me sternly, "Keep the dog in check.  I don't want him running
all over the house and crapping in my yard."  Next thing I know, he's down
on the floor playing with Sampson like he was his own :)  He even forgave
him for peeing on the chives he had planted!

Couple of weeks ago I sent them each a coffee mug from Webshots; one with a
photo of Persia on it and one with a photo of Peaches, my nyasa lovebird.
They love them!  Guess that's about as close as they will get to having
pets.

Frank loves Q-tips, too. He goes absolutely crazy over them, old geezer
though he be. I usually let him play a while before I take them away from
him, but keep an eye on him in case he starts chewing the tips.

Recently, I had q-tips start appearing all over the apartment,
seemingly from nowhere. Someone, I'm sure it was Sammy the intrepid
cupboard explorer, had found a box I had about forgotten I had. The
amazing thing, though, is that to get to the box she had to go into
cupboard under the bathroom sink and reach up into a drawer from
underneath.

They will go to all ends to get what they want.  Persia opens cabinets
sometimes... the ones in my apartment have springs on the hinges but still
sometimes she manages to stick her face in there before it shuts.  At times
like that, cotton balls are shown no mercy :)

I guess I was lucky - I once had a cat who would "hide" things like
candy wrappers, bringing them out from God knows where to underline my
lack of housekeeping skills, when I had guests.  Imagine how she COULD
have embarrassed me!
