Apparently the BEST place to scratch her face is in front of my monitor.
Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 11:57 AM by Bouncy Ball
Damn cat. And apparently the best place to have a nice lie-down today is all over the papers I'm working on.

Good for nothin'.

And apparently she is shedding enough for seven cats. Off to take an Allegra D!

AND my typing fingers are fun to try to "catch."

She does nothing useful around here, I swear.

CAUGHT ON FILM:

2. Heh, I forgot that was there!
Don't tell Little Bouncy, though. You know how you stop noticing things that have been up on a wall or fridge for a while? Maybe I need to move things around.

Thanks. Clarissa Marie KNOWS she's cute. Thus she thinks she can get away with stuff like this.

4. Thanks! She's tiny.
A little petite cat. And when they shaved her belly to spay her, the fur never grew back, so she's got this great, soft, flabby (she's about 8 or 9 now) belly that she LOVES to get scratched. She was being a "scratch me" whore this whole morning and I kept having to get her off my shit.

English, please?

Sorry, I am a techno-idiot. It's amazing I know how to post pictures on DU. When Mr. Bouncy found out, he literally said, "How'd you figure THAT out???"

16. I just learned how!
<-----See!

I am so proud. Anyway, thanks to SoCalDem and Maestro. Here you go. I downloaded IrfanView http://www.irfanview.com/

You cut and copy your picture into that program. There is a resizing option and you size to 48x48 and there you have it.

She is a real cutie, scratch that bare belly for me. :hi:

Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 12:30 PM by BrklynLiberal
Everything I noticed has been commented upon already.
It is amazing how cats always want to get between you and what you are looking at. When I try to do a little reading in bed at night, my Cassie will lay down right on the page of the book as I am trying to read...as if that is why I am holding it.
They are so amazing.

EDIT: Check out the Funny cat story thread.

If it's what I think it is, that's a calendar of the school year.

Less than 40 school days left!!! :D Are you leaving your kitty behind?

22. HEY! I just cleaned her litter box last night! And without
Mr. Bouncy griping that it stunk! (It's one of my jobs.) I was so proud of myself. I've tried to give her tuna and she won't eat it, weird cat.

You can NEVER give her enough attention. It isn't possible. She's now sitting on the floor STARING at me relentlessly and if I even glance her direction, she meows pitifully. I could scratch and pet her all day and she wouldn't be satisfied.

Don't you know that's an invitation for her to remind you of what your priority should be?

26. I have to keep a box between my keyboard and monitor
otherwise the evil babykitty (6 months) takes up residence there. As it is, she perches 1/2 way up my shoulder to shed and purr. Nice fuzzy petite tabby. Yeah, Mommy Rocks!

30. It says "Daddy rocks + Mommy does too!" It's just hard to read.
There's a matching "Daddy rocks!" sign over Mr. Bouncy's desk.

And thank you!! The feeling is mutual, babe!

39. "Softpaws"
Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 03:08 PM by CanuckAmok
http://www.softpaws.com

I get them at our vet's, but they can be applied at home with a little practice. Each nail cap lasts a few months, and only comes off when the cats' nails shed.

Holly has clear ones, but Milpool has pink ones for two reasons:

they're terribly fashionable and match her colouring,

and it's easy to see when they've fallen off.

on edit: no more ruined furniture or window-screening.

When I moved, I had my sofa reupholstered in bright red vinyl, and there's NO WAY they're going to get their talons into it!!

34. Did you see my post about that my furball did to me
I was having this great dream involving a really cute guy whispering quite unmentionables into my ear. And I wake up mid-dream to find out that whispering was actually Abbott licking my ear.

SICK!!!

You have papers that you are paying attention to (as in NOT paying attention to the kitty) laying in front of your monitor! That's an open invitation to cat. :P
