Every once in a while, I will think a cat is approaching me... I'll look
around - no one there.
Does anyone else get cat shadows?
I do get cat *ghosts* for about a year after they go to the RB.  The kind

The following letter-to-the-editor appeared in our local paper's online
edition, but it's a pay-to-view site, so I will cut-n-paste it here:
Increase punishment
To the editor:

Has anyone used scraminal or catscram devices to keep cats off
counters,tables,etc. and if so, was it efficient?

Hi CN. I sent this to you privately yesterday, but am posting too in
case it didn't turn up.
SO sorry to learn this. Major purrs from my 3 boys that the pain isn't
too great.

If this dream comes true I'll be overjoyed. Looks like it *is* going to
happen, and soon. I just need to find a house/catsitter so I can visit him
in south Florida. Any spare purrs toward that goal would be most heartily
welcomed. It's been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely time!

OK, I'm hoping that on this group we can have this discussion without
starting a flame war (as happened on H+B).  I'd really like to get some
feedback (pardon the pun) on what you guys have experienced regarding wet
food vs. dry.

I have a cat who's black and white
Another who's white and grey
The colour makes no difference
They both sleep a lot each day

Got some new pan liners yesterday and more clumping litter.  I find it gets
tracked around less than the big clay stuff which HURTS when you step on it.
And Persia doesn't like the crystal stuff, although she's very good about
using whatever I buy.  She's such a sweet, adaptable ...

When I tried to use the water this morning, there was nothing there. I
thawed a section of pipe that I believed was sufficiently insulated (burned
my hand in the process), and it
has a huge leak. So much for my new plumbing, and it's back to hauling water

Mischief was napping peacefully on my bed while I was reading Harry
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when an enormous clap of thunder
sounded overhead.
Se didn't jump, but her ears perked up VERY ATTENTIVELY and she looked

How the pros do it!

Well, Purrs to CatNipped for instigating one of the LONGEST threads I've
ever seen in a NG.  Just to lighten the mood I dug up this little gem.... It
was origionally preformed by Rick Mercer on a Canadian political humor show
called 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes'.  A couple of ...

Like many people, my bladder feels pretty full in the early morning, and I
struggle between the need to get up and go and the desire not to wake up.  A
lot of times, I manage to keep myself asleep until the alarm rings.
Apparently, Oscar has other ideas.

Yep, she's still growing!  That's a 21" monitor she's sitting on!
