Smokie Darling (Annie) - 31 Oct 2006 20:45 GMT
I finally got some photos of Pandora (formerly Gracie) uploaded to the
photo albums.  Beginning with shortly after we got her, to a couple
taken just today.

Take a gander at "My Stove Doesn't Work"...  my favorite currently.

Ha ha!! :)  I think I know what's wrong with your stove...

She does seem to have a penchant for places that usually aren't good
for kitties to get into!

She is like that *everywhere* in the house.  She got "stuck" in the
cabinet/cupboard with the sucky monster, and I didn't know, took a
while to figure out what the noise was.  The door doesn't latch or
anything, but she was so afraid of the vacuum, she couldn't even push
against the door, I just heard her wailing (poor baby).

I can't always get photos of her when she's being her
"let-me-see-what's-in-there" brat.  Sometimes, I am just too worried
about how I'm gonna get her out without scaring her, that I don't have
time to realize how cute she is in where ever she is to take a pic.

She loves the dryer too, but I always check before I toss in clothes
(you know, I open it, when I'm going to put the laundry in, and she
jumps right up there).

Typical exchange in a cat's home.  Husband, "why don't we get rid of the tea
kettle.  We never use it and it sits on the stove all the time."  Wife, "but
I use it to put on hot burners when I take a pan off the stove so the cat
won't burn his feet."

She's actually good about the stove, they all are.  They like to lie on
the floor in front of it, when the oven is on, but don't hang around
when the "top" is in use.  Silly kids.

Thanks, I won't tell her, she'd be unbearable if she knew that I
thought she was a lovely as *she* thinks she is (and she does, and I
do).

Thank you kindly (and purrs and teeth pushes from Pandy for the
skritches)...  Speaking of:

Do any of you have a cat that does "teeth pushing"?  It's like she puts
her little jaws together, then pushes forward onto your hand or arm or
leg or where ever with her teeth.  She can push hard enough that it
hurts, but she isn't biting or nuzzling...  she's got her little lips
open and her teeth closed.  I've never had a cat do that and it kind of
freaks me out sometimes.  My vet hasn't heard of it either (Pandora has
always done this, since she got comfortable here).

Smokie Darling (Annie) - I know she's doing it out of affection, just
wondering about other cats

Yes, I've felt a cat's teeth rub against my hand when they rub their
head, with teeth exposed (but mouth closed), along my hand. I don't
think it's that unusual...

Ditto. Cat Five does that to me a lot, she also does that to cardboard
boxes, balusters for the handrails, etc. Usually she's also purring when
she does this.  From what I understand, cats also have scent marking glands
in their cheeks (corrections are welcome if I am misled) and she's marking
me as "hers" and she also gets some "pleasure" from the rubs. I think it's
cute :D

Nope.  Missy climbs on my shoulder when I'm on the computer and hangs on
with her barbs.  Smokey, when he wants something, frequently gives an
open-mouth nip (unless he's mad then it's a bite, but not hard enough to
break skin)

Oof, that'd be Marley (full set of claws) in my easy chair (so he
doesn't fall off - lol).  He weighs 15.6 pounds, and he'll get up on my
shoulder.  The weight is enough to make me hurt, but then he gives me
Marnoculations (Marley innoculations).  Just the tips of the claws, in
his mucksing (sp?) - kneeding way.  They don't hurt, but you know he's
there.

Smokey, when he wants something, frequently gives an

Leonidas does that one.  Smeagol, on the other hand, looks at me with
his cross-eyed gaze (and the eyes never stop moving, tremor-like) and
squeaks.

Why is that big cats have such little squeaky meows instead of real cat
meows?  All my big boys are the same (Smeagol is 18.4 pounds).  Vet
says he and Marley could stand to lose a pound or two, but that they
are both going to stay "big boys".

Smokie Darling (Annie) - guess Pandy's habit isn't as unusual as I
thought, but she's the only cat I've ever had, that does that.

That is the "Miss" who hid my lighters...  Yep, they are still hidden.
Gotta find her lie down spot, they are probably there (she's got a
hidey hole I haven't found).  So, very mischievous, but you see why I
can't stay angry with her, for even seconds <sigh>

Gracias.  Did I ever mention that when we first got her, she didn't
understand English?  We started to speak a little Spanish, and she came
right over to us.  Now she will in English too, but I've got a
bi-lingual kitty (love doesn't need too much translation).

Well, she climbed into the rear opening (it's the bigger one), and
stuck her head up the front burner.  She came out the front burner...
She's such a strange cat, but I love her.

It's an electric stove (the heat coils are removable).  The whole "top"
can be lifted up (like an auto hood comes up to service the engine), to
clean out the lower surface (for spills that fall through the cooking
"pan" under the heating ring).

I hate gas stoves around here, because they leave an oily film on
anything that is "out", you know, like dishes drying in the dish drain.
The film even gets on dishes in cupboards.

I **LOOOVE** my gas stove! (OK, it's not literally mine, as I rent, but
I've lived here over 7 years and it feels like mine!) And I've never
noticed a greasy film on the dishes. Maybe it does leave some, but I've
just never noticed it. But I really like the control you get with a
gas stove. Plus, if the power goes out, I can still cook. Hey Stormin,
this won't help you now, but maybe you should invest in one for the
next power outage??

That's why I said "around here", I used to have one in Denver that I
loved (for the reasons you describe), but here there is a horrid film
and it only takes a week.  Stemware has to be washed every week, even
though I don't use it every week.  Completely sucks...

Sorry for the lousy memory, but where's "around here" (for you)? I just
thought you meant the USA in general. And I wonder why your area would
get oily film from a gas stove and mine doesn't...?

Possibly either a difference in the gas being burned, or the stove
needing adjustment?  Having it leave an oily residue sounds like
incomplete combustion is taking place, and forming soot.

Western Colorado.  I'm not always good about being specific (this is
what I get for presuming someone just *knows* where I live).

It's got something to do with the "scent" added to the local gas so
that if there is a leak, you can smell it (it isn't the usual rotten
eggs smell).  At least that is what the Power Company says (when I used
to complain at my old place w/ the gas stove here).  Why they don't use
the scent that is used in Denver (same company BTW) is beyond me.

Mother-in-law has gas for her range, and though she likes the gas
portion (when it's off, the burners cool very fast), but she complains
about having to wash her glasses every week (and her plates, platters,
bowls, etc...).

I love gas stoves, too. I wish I could have one here, but I rent and
this place came with an electric stove. We've always had a gas stove on
the island (no electricity there), and it's just so much easier to cook
on. I used to live in a flat with a gas stove. I miss that stove!
