Hi all..
I have been looking into getting this vacuum cleaner for months, does anyone on this NG have this?  My 2 cat leave hair all over the place and my current vacuum is ok, but I hear this one is really good, but it expensive, but if it does the job, might be worth the money.. ...

I have a "nervous" cat who is acting very strangely.
He, as of the last few days, is just standing in his litter box.  For
10-15 minutes at a time.  He's not urinating or anything.  Just
standing in his box.  He's very afraid of a dog that we've had for

I just saw the funniest thing last night, my cat was on the couch next to
me in a deep sleep, he picked his head up with his eyes closed, licked his
shoulder once, then put his head back down.  well.. guess you would have
had to seen it.. :)

In memory of my cat LUCKY...
Last night I sat and watched as my 18 year old friend took his last gasps of
