Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / December 2006XMAS FEELING HAS STARTED
The tree came out last night,the kids got excited, &today is the day that we think about what we buy for who.The cats keep climbing the xmas tree to catch the fairy light's, so it has been over so many times that I cant count them(nothing new there then!!),.The mince pies are stored in the oven in case one of the cats gets on the top whilst we are out shopping(last year I was silly enough to leave the turkey out:o(The cats were extatic &I never did dare tell aunty Flo, that the bit missing out of her leg was more than appreciated by jasper ,lol!!),& takes a fancy to one in our absence-which wont be too long I might add, as we have already chosen extended family presents by sending them adopt a cat @ the rescue center's cats...I am sure that they will be delighted with them,lol!!..Nevertheless, like them or not,It made me feel better,& the cats feel 5 x better as a consequence too.All that remains is to buy the cats their presents.This year it is going to be a new cat gym...they are going to need it big time after xmas.... How is everyone else faring? S:o) > How is everyone else faring? > S:o) children and cats! that should make for a memorable season and now kittens.. woo woo have you started your shopping yet? lol, don't get me nothing.. I don't need anything Ill probably find my way to some outlet mall just to sample the warm fuzzy feeling of being at the mall blowing money.. ah..! the illusion that everything is ok, IT MUST BE Im spending money. im trying to get this dang digital cam to work grrrr i managed to at least get a picture of the trollip herself http://picasaweb.google.com/bigbadbarry/Solarsystem that's her coming out of the litterbox > > How is everyone else faring? > > S:o) [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > that's her coming out of the litterbox when you enlarge the photo it is a bit fuzzy, is there anything you can do to make it clearer? and what about the little kittens? lets see a pic of them too? christmas shopping is not an option for me this year; spent ?90 quid at the vets yesterday on a check up and more medication for my jessie puss so christmas is kind of cancelled. Doesnt' matter anyway, noone ever seems to like anything I get them and keeping jessie healthy and happy is fair more important really B > christmas shopping is not an option for me this year; spent £90 quid > at the vets yesterday on a check up and more medication for my jessie [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > B always refreshing to see someone who's got some sense about them i usually talk their head off that's the real christmas spirit anyway, giving its better to fix a cat than recieve a waffle iron >and what about the little kittens? lets see a > pic of them too? (sorry for delay between post,we had a power cut-just what you need when it is freezing!!) I can't wait to see them either.I know most people think that they look kind of boring until they get over 10 days old,but I don't...I think they are facinating. On the photo taking.You just have to keep trying until you get one that does look like you want it to.I wouldn't be lieing if I told you that for each decent photo I get, I took 40 to get there...Patienece is a virtue...or so they tell me.I am still learning that virtue;o)Have a look at this one http://picasaweb.google.com/sheelaghmadden/10dayOldBabyS > christmas shopping is not an option for me this year; spent £90 quid > at the vets yesterday on a check up and more medication for my jessie > puss so christmas is kind of cancelled. I know how you feel(said sheela glumly),I thought I was going to be relatively rich...in other words I could afford the cracker's & other useless expensive trimmings too-but when I heard about the kittens coming to stay,I called at the vet's & bought a tin of cimmi cat (which I mix with the kitty food btw-not seperatley.I didn't think about mentioning that until i read what I typed...)instead,then sat down to ponder whence the innoculation money is going to come from...hmm,will it be the the extra pen I was hoping for, or will it be instead of camera I was hoping to grab on the jabnuary sales-Actually It is no contest,It is definately going to be the camera..... Anyway,I don't need it-but the kittens certainly do need the injections,& possibly other treatment too.I just thank my lucky star's that I have one of those vets that happen to agree with me.Treat now, pay asap.I'm not sure her accountant would agree with us... but we get along fine & get there in the end:o) > Doesnt' matter anyway, noone > ever seems to like anything I get them Do what I do...give the money to the cat shelter,& forward the thank you letter &glossy certificate to say that you have sponsered thier particular cat...they have given up asking for anything in particular now,they know what thier getting lol:o) > and keeping jessie healthy and > happy is fair more important really You are so right of course.I couldn't think of anything worse than looking at a sick cat,after glancing at lots of new shiney unessacery box's of a,b & c which you won't even remember OT:How is Jess doing & have you thought anymore on the blind cat saga?I think it a very commendable thing to do & I wish you well if you do decide to.Looking @ Duffy &Holly,really makes me warm inside.I appreciate your concerns' though-I think I would have the same conerns too...but you don't know till you try,do you?Best of luck whatever the outcome is. S:o) > children and cats! that should make for a memorable season You can bet on it,he he.Every year seems to be for one reason or another.The combination does tend to throw up random suprises.. when you least expect them too!!?A lethal combination,especially when the kids bring up subjects best left alone @ the dinner table... >and now kittens.. woo woo Funny you should say that.I got a call today asking if I could take 4kittens tonight."Apparently", Mummy got knocked over by a car & they can't cope with them.This family seem to have amazingly bad luck...the same thing happened to them 10 months ago,when they last asked me to take in a litter of 6.What can you do though...say no? I don't think I could do that.The up side is that they are 5weeks old,So no bottle feeding- I intend to start them off on royal Canin kitten food mixed with Cimi-cat, & see how we go.I always worry about taking younger ones because I am terrified that they might aspirate on the milk.Just because I have done it before, doesn't mean to say that I feel overly confident about it;I am always worride that it could happen to me.Any tips are more than gratefuly accepted on this one please? > have you started your shopping yet? lol, Other than making contibutions to the shelter on behalf of our extended family, today was the first rugby scrum we took part in.I have to say that I hate it with a passion:o(. Each child got one thing that they asked for, so that was a relief!Thankfully they have got to the age where they understand that when things are bountyful,they do get material things...& when they are not particularly so, we do our best. We have food, & so do the cats too, as it was buy 2,get one free @ Pets @Home today.Plenty of litter & another new litter tray to add to the collection,for the kittens.(yes, I did go soft in the head & buy them a new tinkle toy to play with.I simply couldn't restrain myself..why do I do it?) >don't get me nothing..I don't > need anything Ok then, maybe next year ,hey?The cats are sending plenty of warm purzzzzzz though to your lot just to make up for it,ok? > Ill probably find my way to some outlet mall just to sample the warm > fuzzy feeling of being at the mall blowing money.. ah..! the illusion > that everything is ok, IT MUST BE Im spending money. I know what you mean,I almost got drunk on it today..then got a reality check when I went to the atm:o( > im trying to get this dang digital cam to work grrrr > i managed to at least get a picture of the trollip herself.. Oh,I feel for you.It doesn't matter how hard you try...the damned thing never does work how ever hard you try to engineer it, does it?Mine sends me insane when I'm trying hard to get a particular pic (a good work-woman never blames their tools ect, lol :o) Keep at it, they are always appreciated you know.Once I get the kittens settled,I will try & post one or two of them when I can.5extra visitors for xmas.4kitty's in the new extension, & Ringo in the patio extension,lolling all over his favourite chair..He seems to be setteling very well indeed.He nips out to spend a penny, then straight back to the comfort of his hot water bottle under his cushion,& his food bowl .> that's her coming out of the litterbox Thanx for the photo..keep them coming.I thought the caption was rather funny myself ,lol!(I have 3son's....that is probably why:o) > Funny you should say that.I got a call today asking if I could take > 4kittens tonight."Apparently", Mummy got knocked over by a car & they [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > feel overly confident about it;I am always worride that it could happen > to me.Any tips are more than gratefuly accepted on this one please? Hi Sheelagh, You're wonderful to take in more kitties! Bless you for being so generous with them--the cats in your neighborhood are lucky to have you around! Have fun with them! Bonnie P.S. Your neighbors should rethink having cats if they're not going to have them altered--especially if they are letting their cats out. They've orphaned at least 16 kittens by being so irresponsible. > You're wonderful to take in more kitties! Bless you for being so generous > with them--the cats in your neighborhood are lucky to have you around! How could I possibly say no?It would be immoral of me & for the rest of my life I would wonder what ever became of them.I am known affectionatley as "the cat woman",lol:o) I hate to say this,but I have my doubts about whether or not it actually did happen.(I never question it though-I worry that if I did,what might happen to them??If I don't take them,where else would they go-these arn't the sort of people that would go to the trouble of taking them to a shelter:o( I have had so many people turn up with cats & kittens over the last 8years or so,that it is hardly suprising that they must think I am an eccentric cat woman. I don't do it on my own & cant take all of the credit for it-I have a really supportive partner who raises his eye's & sigh's every time I get a call like that ,but never murmers a single complaint-even when we have to travel up to 50miles to collect them. There are 4kids still living at home & they all help out with filling the food bowls @ meal times(inc communalbowl's&cracking the ice some morings in winter too),washing the dishes,putting clean blankets down for them,bringing all of the cat laundry to me,hanging it all out & socialising them all & playing with them too.It is a family thing that I hope that they will continue long after I am gone > P.S. Your neighbors should rethink having cats if they're not going to have > them altered--especially if they are letting their cats out. They've >orphaned at least 16 kittens by being so irresponsible. Oh boy,all it would take is to apply to the cat protection league for a voucher(in uk), if they are on low incomes,& they would help by paying half of the cost of spaying the cat.That would mean them having to find around $18-hardly a fortune is it?.I do a bit of work for them too(cpt),& keep putting fliers through thier doors, so I *know* that they know, yet they never seem to come forward.Even putting my phone number on them makes no diference...to them it seems to be easier to just hand the kittens over to me as soon as they possibly can,so that they don't have to face the trouble of injecting & homing them..I think it is terribly sad really. I have thought about catching some of the culprits & just getting them fixed, but I can't without thier consent:o( > Have fun with them! Bonnie Oh yes! that is half the joy of it.It is also nice to make even more friends through homing them as well.I also ask thier new parents give me the spay/nuetering fee in advance so that I know that the kittens will be done before they leave us too.I don't discriminate those on low incomes,as there is no need-the offer of help is there,all they have to do is ask for it.Once done & injected,I allow them to go.I have to admitt,that It was hard work trying to find a vet willing to do it when they are so young;most are not very willing! Over 95% of them stay in touch with us & even send photos & news of them all-that is all of the thanks that we need. S. > The tree came out last night, you just getting the feeling? everyday is christmas and if only love was a holiday... mmm mmm it's a good night for some ice cream and fruit maybe a sorbet > > The tree came out last night, I don't think we are talking on the same level here!????? When I said I got the christmas tree out, I was refering to getting it out of the attic.(Still, you knew that already,didn't you?) <Sigh>, Just when I was thinking that maybe you were nicer than I 1st thought..... Get back to that camera,think nice *cleaner* thoughts and send us some photos of your little girls and Jupiters kitten's,please? S. > Get back to that camera,think nice *cleaner* thoughts and send us some > photos of your little girls and Jupiters kitten's,please? > S. iiim done with that camera i have a backup web cam... ill have to shoot a "movie" then pull out some frames oh the tree thing.. hell yeah!

[quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > that's all you get, what are you doing with it > sitting up on freak-net, I can't say what all... What is it that you think you have to give that people should pay for your cats' medical needs, take verbal abuse from you, and watch the Barry Show endlessly, which goes, "Im a f.ck-up," "I'm a BIG MAN," etc. ad nauseum? When you give nothing back, nothing to anyone. Yet you expect EVERYTHING. You have a sense of entitlement that will not quit. And look around you. ALL you have is what you have worked for, with the exception of the things I and your parents have given you. You give NOTHING back, Barry. You think of nobody but yourself. You denigrate others who work twice as hard as you and make better decisions because they try harder. Yet you expect people to hand you everything--including courtesy and respect, when you do not give that to anyone at all. I cannot for the life of me figure out what you think is IN IT for everyone you abuse, to just keep coming back for more. And I have seen the goods, so to speak. Alllllll the goods. Until you learn to get your head out of your a.s and treat others with respect, you will always be nothing but a ridiculous a.s. Break the cycle of ignorance and brutality. Or stay the f.cked up old man you are, stuck in the shuck and jive patterns that worked well back in the 80s when you had all your hair but just do not work now. Give respect and you will get respect. And pay your own way. TAKE CARE OF YOUR f.cking CATS. a.shole. a.shole, a.shole, a.shole. > > Always jivin' for someone else to bail you out, aren't you Barry? > > Besides, I tried to do that once before - remember? [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > depends on which day of the week it is That's right. You lie one day and tell the truth the next. How can you live with yourself? > man, life is zooming by, i am way farther behind than I had hoped to be > by now. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > military father, loving mother I don't know where you got that. My Daddy was an a.shole but not a military a.shole. He was just a Republican a.shole.

You should have been so lucky. > my my my, time is just ZOOMING BY BABY > this is it > > that's all you get, what are you doing with it > sitting up on freak-net, I can't say what all... My live is a dream, Barry. I have done 90% of everything I have ever wanted to do. Climbed the pyramids of Chichen Itza, swam with green sea turtles off Kona. Married to a man I never dreamed I would be lucky enough to find. And blessed with the most darling son anyone could ask for. What do you have to show of your life, Barry? Burned up second-hand hotplate, a kerosene heater, and alone during Christmas - that's what. That's an almighty God you got yerself there, Boy... -L. > What do you have to show of your life, Barry?
