i love cheez-its

they are happiness

While salt and vinegar chips, of any variety, are delicious. I can at least stop myself from ingesting them (if only because my lips are on fire).

Cheez-Its, not so much.

So last night I was woken up around 4 by the sound of shattering glass.

My cats had managed to knock over a vase and it shattered into a few billion pieces. I ended up standing in my living room at 4 in the morning wearing nothing but boots vacuuming my house to get out all the glass shards while I had 2 cats in total panic from the vacuum cleaner running around the house.

Must've been quite a spectacle if anyone could see it...

The world looks so much different without the word stuff.

I'm sure it entertained the neighbors at least. Should have uploaded it to youtube, you'd be like a super star or something now.

I could use this sort of motivation. My running has dropped way off. I'm doing well on the biking though.

Identity Solutions sounds like a shady health care corp from some sci-fi game/movie.

Slavink is ******* tasty.

I lost my black cat a few months ago, he didn't come home anymore.

So after 2 months of searching for him and getting ever more crazy I got 2 new cats 3 weeks ago now which I was told were a pair of brothers but turned out to be brother and sister.

I would agree with you but from the first day he was allowed outside he was a much happier cat, friendlier, more relaxed and just in general much, much more happy. Some cats just aren't indoor cats.

But that's also the reason I wanted 2 now, they can look out and protect each other now and they will because they're super close (when one is on the litterbox the other will lie in front of it waiting...)

And although I do really miss Ahmu it helps that Pink and Wilson are absolutely adorable:

Sorry to hear that Aeth. While I'm not much of a cat person, I am an animal lover, so I feel for you.

I'm sure you know this already but I'll say it anyway, on the outside chance you don't. My uncle had a cat (Caesar) that disappeared and then returned a couple of months later. This continued until somehow he found out (I never got this part straight) that Caesar was living with a neighbor six doors down whenever he went missing. It seems this neighbor thought he had a cat named Little Guy. Maybe your black cat will come home soon. Also, dogs could never be that cool - to carry on two separate lives like that.

As for the gender mis-identification, it was only yesterday I overheard someone talking about this. I never knew that when they're young it is so difficult to determine whether they are male or female. I actually thought this lady was talking about her children by the way she was referring to them - her babies - and I looked at the guy next to me and said, confused and with a straight face, "I never had a problem telling my daughter was a female."

To turn this already too-long post into an interminably long post, but continuing the segue, two nights ago I saw something streak across the floor out of the corner of my eye. I'm sure it was a mouse but when we do get them inside it's in the fall. So, I told my wife the next morning that we need a cat, because her cocker spaniel/poodle mix, Buddy, was laying on his back on his doggie bed with his legs all akimbo, fast asleep while the mouse ran past him.

The furry things are very cute. Sorry to hear you lost the other one though, never fun when a pet disappears like that.

I never really had to try and determine a cat's gender before so thankfully mine are old enough for a clear difference. How the mom's owner mixed it up I don't know although with 5 kittens and 4 of them looking a lot alike I guess it's not that hard to get something mixed up. Especially because my two looked a lot alike a few weeks ago, now the difference in size and build makes it a lot easier and the difference in their markings is a lot more clear. They're still two brown tabbies with white socks and a white chest though.

Kittens are adorable. I still prefer full grown cats though.



And that reminds me, I need to look up when my cat can get spayed. I don't want to have a nest of kittens.
