Karen - 16 Feb 2005 17:04 GMT I just thought I would tell you about the newest (at least I had not seen her before) clinic cat "Oscar". Why so named? You guessed it. SHe is chronically grouchy. Follows you everywhere swearing at you and is a swiper. She is liiiitttle. Maybe 4 or 5 pounds, full grown. long white hair that has brown and black splothces and with a persian pushed in face (and seems to have an eye problem). But she is SO funny! Wants to love but will kind of bite at you (not bad, just snippy). Today when I took Grant in I was standing at the counter with him talking to the vet tech and I felt this bapbapbapbapbapbapbapbapbappitybap on my pant leg. I looked down to realize I had been severly scolded. Oscar had come out and was not happy that I didn't notice. Or else not happy it was morning. Or maybe I was standing wrong. I hope someone who likes a perpetually grouchy cat comes along and takes her in. She's just awful cute.

If she's anything like my little Mimi (RB)-- and she sounds like she is-- she probably has highly developed cutie-pie skills she can whip out at a moment's notice if she feels it necessary. Tiny grouchy cats can be so funny. ;)
Can you get us a picture?

Last night I was sitting in the Sun Room and I picked up a small hand held calculator. This calculator has a music switch which will play two different tunes. TuTu has never liked it, so it has been months since I have tried it. I turned it on to see if it still worked. In about a minute, here came TuTu with a determined walk. She jumped to my lap and bit my hand. ("Turn that off you idiot"). MLB

That is what Pearl does when I sing or play guitar!

That is what Pearl does when I sing or play guitar! back when I used to play the organ, Princess (RB) used to sit by the organ with her eyes closed and seemed to love the music. If I turned the organ to "strings" she would say "I don't like that", turn and leave. MLB

He had favorite tunes, such as Mary Had a Little Lamb, & Jingle Bells. He would come if I whistled.
One day I lay on my back in bed & started whistling. He ran in the room, ran up my body, & bit me on the lips, then turned & ran out.

Everyone's a critic... when I sing to Jake as he lies in my lap, he looks at me in a pitying way and lays a paw gently across my lips. "Please stop; you're embarrassing yourself" is how I think that translates.

Katz - 16 Feb 2005 19:15 GMT I sit on the toilet & hold Daisy & sing her the "Daisy, Daisy" song. She likes it b/c it has her name.
Nina, I'm a proofreader, too.

So you get a variety of things to proofread -- just what I like! I have my own business, with my office at home (so handy for the masters to order me around), and do everything from business cards to textbooks, mainly for advertising and marketing agencies.

hobbs - 16 Feb 2005 23:18 GMT Now *that* was Henri RB when he was a tiny kitten I was whistling one morning as I got dressed, he came running into the bedroom and was all over me like a rash, the next day in the garden I whistled again while I sat on the step watching him play, and it happened again, after that I knew how to get him whenever I wanted him, in the last few years of his life, he could be way down the street but when I whistled a special call he would come running,I saw this one day when I whistled from the end of the drive, he looked so funny ,really hurrying along at a little jog trot, like 'Mamma's calling better hurry,' I just loved that cat to death,I still miss him sorely.

Obviously there is no ignoring the Queen. Mimi used to take her tiny little paw, seemingly make it into a little fist, and go POKE POKE with it, in complete YOU'RE NOT LISTENING mode. Her paw was amazingly hard. ;)

Gabey8 - 16 Feb 2005 21:15 GMT Hee hee! Purrs to wee Oscar the Second. I hope that someone adopts her who spoils her as completely as Oscar the First is being pampered. :o)

Her personality sounds like a perfect match to my Oscar. Maybe they're long-lost relatives =p
