OT: Shop cats update

My little girls can now open closed doors. I never would have believed it until I was shown the pictures. It seems they love to snooze in the soft chairs in the conference room and of course they are banned from that part of the office due to people having allergies. The forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest? They have been very good at waiting under cover by a door and then streaking through when somebody walks through. They move so fast, you can't see them, just a blur of a shadow. Now they get the doors open as long as they aren't latched...I'm sure they will figure that out next. The doors have automatic closers so they don't get consciously latched during the day. Somebody is evicting a cat at least five times a day. I DO like the piles of critters they bring to the production office as hunting trophies! I want to cut kitty holes to connect all the offices but some people won't let me, I think they should have complete access...the mice do!

There ARE some things that I don't want them to eat...vets are expensive!

They would probably become alcoholic after fooling around with some of the trolls that infest this group. How would they ever get the taste of unionism out of their moths if they didn't take up drinking? :(

Have you seen any hairless cats?

You haven't met the right dog. :)

Last year, MY Yorkie died of a heart attack, at 16-1/2. Early in his life, he was diagnosed as having a kidney-stone (which he passed after a rough night) We only gave him distilled water after that, and he was kidney-stone free the remainder of those beautiful years. Of course, a diet lower in fat and salt ("Kidney-formula" - dry dogfood is OK, too ) also helped..

Good luck with woofie - they are hard to part with.

Yeah, their coats are important, and to more than just themselves.

Once long ago, in a moment of extreme brain-fade, I used SWMBO's favorite white cat for a grease-rag. Though "Snowball" used up the last of her nine over twenty-five years ago, I occasionally get reminded : "Wash your hands, thoroughly !" when I approach any of the four-footed members of the household. Some moments, some incidents with these creatures (both cats AND SWMBO) seem to take up a life of their own, and will not fade decently from memory.

Indeed! And grow to 30 lbs! That could be a SCARY cat. But at $28,000*, you won't find many of them running around.

- if you can wait 12-18 months for one, otherwise it's another 00 to get you expedited delivery (hand carried to anywhere in US is included).

Multiple cats AND a SWMBO??? Talk about pussy whipped!

I never figured if Thor was smart or more pigheaded than me. Either way he seemed to get his way. RIP.

Works for people, too. I've had over ten stones. Frequency is dropping since I changed my diet & went to bottled water. Nashville is smack in the middle of the kidney stone belt.
