Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Fear Factor
No not the gross out reality-TV show, but... We are having a new sofa delivered today. Been wanting one for a long time, and this is what we're doing with out tax refund:) In the process of moving the old one out to make room, Moe turned up missing. We looked for her for 20 minutes, sealing off each room as we searched it (thereby trapping some other kitties in those rooms). We even searched the old sofa, to make sure no cat could have hidden inside it (old sofa in sitting on our front walk, waiting for some freecycler to take it), and around the big out, in case she slipped outside without us noticing... We even checked the utility room where we have Smokey sequestered alone until she's "better"... No Moe, nowhere! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh This is where the fear factor comes in. All our kitties are inside kitties. Closes they get to the out is when the windows are open, and there's only a mesh screen separating cats from outside. Well, after the 20 minutes of us calling her, she decided it's safe for her to crawl out of her hidey-hole (I think she was under a small cabinet on the back porch). She got pettins and skritchins for showing up. >^..^< This is Kitty.

IMHO that should be invested, stashed away, not used. Not used to "stimulate" an already failing economy because spending money we don't normally have isn't going to help anyone in the long run. > In the process of moving the old one out to make room, Moe turned up > missing.

We haven't gotten the "stimulus".. yet. When we do, it will be invested in property upgrades (i.e. fencing for the back yard so Annie can R U N) >> In the process of moving the old one out to make room, Moe turned up >> missing. >> > Uh oh!

Yup, she loved that part. When the new sofa arrived, we played it safe this time: all kitties safely locked in rooms, therefore no chance of curious minds wandering into the big out. >^..^< This is Kitty.

True, that's one of the things that got the economy into the mess it's in, now! There was a time when people bought a home with the idea that the mortgage would be paid off by time to retire, and they'd own it free and clear. (Meaning "free rent" in their old age, with only taxes and upkeep to worry about.) Then came "home equity" loans, and folks kept "refinancing" - i.e. borrowing money against the paid up balance of the (increased) appraised value. Worked just fine, so long as real estate values kept going up and up, but now...... I wonder how many people regret not just letting their equity build until they actually OWNED their homes? > No not the gross out reality-TV show, but... > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > email me at nalee1964 (at) comcast (dot) net > http://community.webshots.com/user/mgcmdjeep Whew! They sure can throw a scare into us sometimes, can't they?
