I think cats look beautiful - love pics of cats

They can also be he!! on wheels to live with and a major PITA.


I say this as my dog is barking at a leaf blowing by the front door.....


Vet called before and after surgery, and assistant called this
this afternoon. I cant wait to see her. She has only been gone for 1 day and as one lady stated, the house is empty. Working from home, I have become quite attached to her and her to me. Thanks for all the well wishes and Boo Boo Kitty thanks you too !!
then what would be 80-100 be called?

Well, I, for one, am not 60 yet tho getting *there*, look 45 (with no procedures/surgery), and my family history is such that they lived  long long lives (paternal side)....and I plan on working another 15+ years......


back in the days, 50-75 years ago the elderly then didn't live to ripe very old ages, really.......


 



what you have is called a
dependency issue- you do not feel well, your hubby has hobbies not at home (could it be another woman or women?), you are not secure. You feel like you have to rely on someone seemingly not there for you.
Well, they just called
and said both were negative. Thank God. What a scare.
So, when your SIL CALLED, what did you tell her?
Your SIL is not a blood relative, but as your brother's WIFE, she is entitled to her inheritance.

When my husband dies, I surely am going one of HIS HEIRS, even if he does not write a testament.

But I will make sure that he writes one and gives ALL TO ME AND MY CHILDREN, nothing to sisters, LIKE YOU!

I am so interested in this, your case, because I hate it when legal heirs are cheated out of their inheritance.

So what did you tell your SIL when she called?

You got your and their inheritance, so give it back to them.

Was it really $ 750.000.-- ?

Give them half of it.

My sister took the whole amount of my mother's money, but AT LEAST she told me about it, later, after she bought her apartment. I forgave her for this, because she told me.

PLEASE STOP MAKING UP EXCUSES AND I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU GET INTO CONTACT WITH HER, YOU CAN IF YOU WANT AND GIVE THEM THEIR MONEY.
Why do they have to be called old
f.... Did you ever stop to think maybe not everyone in life desires to retire? I can retire but want to continue working. It is not always a money thing. Also, when you said appt mixup happened 10 years ago and then you said staff overworked due to rising job cuts, what does the one 10 years ago and relate to each other?
I'm the one who usually gets called, rather than
the main reason is that my brothers & sisters all have *real* jobs, and can afford the long-distance rates. On the other hand, as an MT, I usually can't afford it. But it makes sense, because I'm always here, and it's almost always an okay time to call me.

I also tend not to call people anymore because for some reason, my phone-kharma is truly the WORST! In the past, when I've called friends or relatives at home just to chat and say hi, it just never fails - at the moment I called:
* They were having a huge fight.
* They were having sex.
* A pet just died in the kitchen.
* A relative just died in the living room.
* The house is on fire.

Even worse, if I call their cell, turns out they're:
* In an ambulance racing to the hospital.
* They're on the toilet, or throwing up into it.
* They're in labor.

'Ooops! Did I get you at a bad time?'
Everyone on here has what is called
FREE WILL. No one makes you accept a low paying job, no one makes you sit around with no work, you would have to prove fired because of offshoring. Everyone can turn down a job if they want but apparently the majority here accept what is dished out to them. What you just said does not hold water.
Not everyone knows about why he was not called
MJ when the person made the 911 call, in fact out yesterday heard lady talking on the phone and thought it very disrespectful that the person referred to him not as his real name, she said it twice, why would they not say MJ instead of guy (or gentleman)forgot which one they said. I heard TMZ was first to report first of all. That was who got the first shots of the ambulance leaving the house so maybe they had others checking out, following on motorcycles the ambulance and got the shot that way. There were shots of Princess Diane as she dying in the car after her accident so guess paparizzi (spelling?) most everywhere.
Cats

My only suggestion would be to have set feeding times for the cats, that way you can monitor which cat is eating what. Just a thought -


Although my cats have started to eat my dogs' food, so I guess I shouldn't be one to give out advice!


cats
Iams has been notorious for cruel treatment of their animals in research - you might want to switch brands.
cats
I have the same problem, getting my cat declawed tomorrow. She has clawed through the leather.
Cats
My sister uses Soft Paws, which you glue on to a cat's claws. She said that they last about 6 weeks. My cat loves to jump on counters and scratch chair legs. I have used Sticky Paws, which is a double-sided tape. I have also heard of products that you can spray on furniture that makes it undesirable, though I haven't tried that myself so I'm not sure if they work.
Cats
What cat food was he on there is a HUGE recall of many many brands of cat food - they changed the source of their wheat gluten and cats and dogs are dying from liver or renal failure - check it out on MSN or CNN . The same manufacturer makes about 60 different brands.
Val Curtiss Boston Terriers Just Bostons
cats
We never had a cat till the kids brought home an abandoned one. He is just like one of the family. I like everybody else would spend money I dont have on him.
Cats

My sister uses Soft Paws with her cats and really likes them.  She said that the Soft Paws will fall off about every 6 weeks due to growth of their claws.


We have no more cats
You are going off on ME because I was looking for some suggestions to get HER to understand the destruction her pet has caused.

If it was anyone else but family, I would have shot the dog without hesitation.

As a matter of fact, I have used the pellet gun to pop him in the rear several times. That only keeps him away for a few days at a time.

You can say what you want but if I just went out and shot her dog, that WOULD be like killing her kid to her.

My husband's sister is more important than the cats. We loved our cats but my kids have one aunt. Only one.


Thank God for no more cats

Like I said watch your kids around the chow as the older they get the nastier and more protective they get and are much more aggresive than a lot of other dogs. Even if it were my sister, if her dog did that and she would not accept responsibility for the dog's actions -- would not accept it.  My animals are members of my family (I have no kids just step) and my dog is part chow but if she had ever shown agressive behavior in her past 16+ years or had killed a couple of cats, I would have had her put down and hated doing it but would have felt it was necessary.   Again, if another dog did that to one of my two cats -- either family member or not -- something would be done especially if it happens more than once.   Just my thinking -- again you were asking for suggestions just don't like the obvious ones.   Cannot treat this situation nice and sweet like ice cream and cake as it is ugly.


These are cats though
not doggies so dominance in the cattie category? I don’t know but still my sensitive one.
Cats
I had to laugh when I read your post, I have often told my husband that if I had to chose, he'd have to leave. LOL.
3 cats and a dog
Cats names are Bailey, Max, and Scooter. My German Shepherd is Kodiak.
Six cats...sm
Fidget (combination of freaking midget, small when he was born), Dogfood (don't know why, hubby named her), Mother One Eye (obvious, she is the mother of Fidget and has one eye), Big (outside male cat, named after Carrie's Big on SATC), Ellie Ann (she actually looks like an alien cat, changed up the name a bit), and Mr.Pinkas (huge, longhaired boy, loves to sleep in the attic area and comes in with pink insulation all over his backside, hubby said no way to calling him Mr Pink A$$, so Pinkas it is).
cats
I don't know much about San Francisco....probably too high a risk to let the cats out by themselves.   Watching the "real thing" is not quite enough for the felines....I mean, when you got one that can jump 12 feet in the air and snag a red bird (cardinal), beats up moles, chipmunks, and cottomouths (snakes)....that's Napster....I've seen my friend's cats nearly hurt themselves trying to go through a plate glass window after the birds, chipmunks, et al.....it's such a tease.  .I've had many, many cats and they would walk for miles with me...Fioma was the best......Right now Napster (12 lbs) and Zeus (120 lb Great Pyreness dog) walk together with me in the morning....I get the most curious looks and smiles from the kids on the school bus seeing the 2 of them together.  If you can manage some time to take your cat out to explore and play in the grass (there are leashes for them) you'll find a happier cat.  Napster won't even use a litter box...meows at the door or window by my desk to go out.  Remember, you don't own them....they own you....you're just a custodian of these sweet beings..Cat.     
cats

Just for you San Fran.....Congrats on your new rescue kitty!  What's it's name?

re: cats
Do you have one of those cat towers? I know they're kind of expensive so I haven't bought any for my cat. What about a bookshelf that they can climb up on? Also my cat loves feathers tied to a string and hanging from doorknobs. She bats at them constantly. My cat tends to sleep all day cause she doesn't have a playmate except for me so she plays when she wants to when everyone is home at night.
cats
I'm so sorry about this; I am now very sad.  I love cats/kittens so much, even though my husband, son, and I are all allergic - only my daughter is not.  I will pray for this special kitten.  This gets to my very soul.
cats
I, unfortunately, am allergic to cats, as is my husband and son. My daughter is the only one who is not allergic to cats. On a recent outing to dinner in the evening recently, a home we walked by after parking our vehicle had Halloween decorations up, with a live black cat sitting on the porch and looking at me with its glorious green eyes. How fitting for the season. I love it! Cats are so very agile and preternatural, absolutely gorgeous and fascinating to behold. I love them all, even though I cannot be a cat owner. I have a beautiful blue merle sheltie.
outside cats
Please please try to keep you cat indoors. The #1 kiiler of cats is the out-of-doors. They will pee on anything to let you know they are sick. When my daughter was born, my siamese pooped in the doorway of her bedroom every morning for yrs. You can learn to live with it. My sense of smell is totally gone. How old is your cat? Male cats are extremely prone to GU problems. Oh well.
cats
I am so very sorry for the difficult situation that you are now dealing with. I am giving you and your precious cat a long-distance hug.

I absolutely love cats and all of their special qualities, but I, my husband, and one of my children are allergic to them, so I have never had one as a part of our family.

I will pray that you can muster the strength to get through this. God and his angels will take care of this special creature.

Whenever one of our dogs had passed, it was so very difficult, of course. We embrace and so very strongly love them when they are with us, but it hurts so much when it is their time.
cats
I had a cat that loved to catch and play with mice. . One night while I was asleep, the cat decided to play with a mouse it had caught in my bed. . . It is not fun to wake up with a mouse running around on you with a cat jumping up and down trying to catch it. .
no cats here, but....sm

wow, down to only 5 lbs.  maybe she (female?) just doesn't feel good and wants to be held and comforted, kind of like your kids when they don't feel good and just want their mommy. 


sorry, no cats here, just dogs, but feel for you. 


 


I have to keep my cats out from under the bed, too - sm
but for a different reason... I discovered one of them was peeing under there. Not to mention it was a handy place to run whenever she sensed a major coming-out coming soon! I use the space under the bed for storage anyway, so simply blocked it all off with all my junk: Duffel bags, skate bags, sleeping bags, boxes, large purses I never use, etc. Now neither cat can get under the bed at all.

For your problem, you could try a couple things. One is to get a 'platform' bed. Then the cat can't get to the box springs. (You can even do away with the box spring altogether - don't need one with a platform bed.) If you don't want a platform bed, you could get creative with some pieces of wood, like maybe 1-inch or less thick x whatever width will close the gap, and make a border that goes around the base of the bed. If you use dust-ruffles, they'd cover it up. If not, you could paint, wallpaper, or (?) the wood and make a pretty faux base for the bed that's cat-proof.

OR... you could go to Ikea or some other store that sells cool, space-saving stuff, and get those drawers/boxes/containers, etc. made for using space under the bed. You could create a lot of storage space under there, and make it impossible for the cat to get to the mattress.



not all cats pay off...
we had 2 cats. The good one (George) died. 6 months after George died, we were overrun by mice. They got in our oven and peed and pooed all over the insulation (?) in it. We cleaned that up so it wouldn't smell when we turned the oven on and hired an exterminator at $40 per month to keep the mice away. I can't believe what a loser cat we got - will not keep away the mice, sometimes pees and poos on things (because of seizures) and he doesn't want to be petted.
my cats
I had a 2 yo male and then adopted a 2 yo female. I was told to try to pet both of them at the same time in a gentle, comforting, easy manner - at the same time is the key. The female I adopted is a sweetie so that helped, but they are fine. They play together and eat together now. They never cuddle up with each other but seem to be fine.
Cats
I heard moth balls do work, but they are very poisonous if a cat or dog ingests them, or if you have small children that might want to play with them.
She already told me she called and they said SM
she can't until March because they already had a claim.  They would be cancelled if they claimed it.  It does cover it, though.
The ones from that site are called - sm
New Lifestyle, the Chocolate and Chocolate Mint are great. Vanilla is okay, Strawberry not so great. I bit the bullet and ordered 2 months worth, in the past I have gotten 2 weeks worth and alternate with Total Soy shake powder which I get at BJs which is the only way to get a good price on these things in bulk. But the NL shakes are only available from that website unfortunately. Cost about the same as Omnifast, Medifast, etc. but from reports taste a whole lot better.
Update. I called the CPS

It is so hard to do that to your own family but the way she treated those kids is disgraceful.  The lady that took the call said that they probably won't remove the kids from the home but they will check out the situtation and give the parents an alternative route to childcare and not to use the grandmother. 


That's what they called him on the news!. nm
LOL
don't like being called "ma," too
I correct my son when he calls me that - he is only two. He shifts from "mommy," to "mom," to "ma."
She called just as I was going to post

She called to tell dh that there was no hay seed available at a distant coop or a local coop.  I said he found some at a feed store.  She said okay. She said she knew he was over at her place but she was too lazy  to go over there so that is why she called.  She did gab a while to me but the only men she spoke of going out there were men interested in her property, not her.  She said some wanted animals but she did not want that because they get out, the jump on her cars.  One man wanted to plant like DH is doing but he would have 15 to 20 guys helping him and they would drink and she turned him down.  She has 2 young daughters to worry about.  She knew dh would  do everything himself.  I told her, well, he may have me and our two little girls come and bring him cokes or food.  She said Great  that her girls would love that.  


She has known dh for a while.  DH and her ex used to be friends.  Dh would help her ex care for their animals when they were gone.  Her ex tried to get into a business with dh but thank goodness dh turned him down.  He was a crook big time.  It is a wild wild story about her ex.  She did say that she remembers when dh and I were dating that dh would come over, he was so in love with me, talked about me all the time and that he just could not believe he had someone like me.  She said she remembered feeling grateful that he was such a great guy and he deserved someone great too.


Well, I have got to go as I was planning on working extra today.  I have typed this really fast and have no time to edit so please excuse any typos.


Oh, yes, I remember what they called
winters, years ago, hardly have any now. We have both gas and electricity both here and I just try my best to keep the costs down. I told the people in my home where I moved from they could accept my own budget bils as they were in the 70-80 range, unlike the new home I moved to.
Yes and when she called all females, then
you would have mothers of boys up in arms, calling the teacher biased/racist/feminist/
segregating, whatever- it never ends. If you are having the males and females in class TOGETHER, then you cannot send 1 group out and have chit-chat with the others. If a child goes to all girl school, would not have the problem of talking in front of the boys.

This is what is called a ploy...
…You basically are being played. IF he has money coming, then until he got "the money" I would suggest if in a bind, he either got a loan from a company or a family member that he could pay back. You see, he is not intending to pay you back, really so he has come up with this song and dance about from somewhere else. I would not let it worry me for 1 second and why should you rescue him?? He should be the 1 rescuing. You can only be taken advantage of if you let youself be. I am telling you from years of experience, this man means no good and he has no other place, just trying to get you to break down and feel sorry for him. Get some sense, gal!
I think it is called denial - sm
There is no denying when you see an actual picture, however.  Your current height and weight give you a BMI of 37.4, which puts you in the severely obese category.
I would say it's called having no life
nm
That is called fraud.
