Just yesterday, I put a round knob on the door. So far, he can't quite get it to turn. When he does, my life may be over.

You Coming In or Out". The punch line is: 'This is why cats have nine lives'. LOL!

She will only eat two portions of a can of wet food and then she decides she hates it. I used to get very upset because I sincerely thought she was going to starve herself to death.

She also loves to go into my closet and hang out. A few months ago I put a small dish of dry food in there and ever since, I've had to refill it regularly.

So now, when she turns her nose up at yet another flavor of wet food I go peek in the closet to see that she's eaten the dry stuff. She has.

who was obviously homeless. She gave him to me and he grew into this enormous, huge cat. he was very muscular and beautiful. He must have been Maine Coon or a least part. Very sweet temperament.

I spoiled him. He would only eat one flavor of one certain brand of canned food. One day I couldn't find any so tried to substitute something else. Well, he took one sniff and turned around and did the motions of trying to bury it! LOL

Then he eats two bites and walks away.

If I do not get up to feed him, he meows incessantly. If I close the door on him, he scratches and makes a hellacious racket.
