So christmas tree gets set up and next thing the cat is running up the stem to the top hang there for a few heartbeats and then very slowly toppled over. Priceless expression on the cat's face. He learned though - didn't try it again. Carola ------- I'm multilingual - I can misunderstand people in several languages! ID: 1052449 ·

We went for a visit, Mom opened the door and a grey blur went past us into the hall at about 600 mph. The blur was followed by my mother, at a slightly lower speed, saying quite loudly "that f**g cat". It was the one and only time I ever heard use the F word. ID: 1052468 ·

So Grace is in charge of the House here @ 2pm PST, I wonder should I leave the TV on for Her or not? Cause I won't be back until about 1am of 7th maybe and then I'll be very tired too.

Last modified: 5 Dec 2010, 17:14:43 UTC Will she be alright on her own? I've made sure of that, Grace has lots of food in Her bowls, water and Her automatic litter box has been serviced. All Grace'll lack is Me, She'll be able to lay in My swivel recliner and on My bed as She normally does. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's ID: 1053193 ·

Hey Vic, why don't you give a neighbor an extra key and ask him or her to look in on Grace now and again in your absence? I don't have an extra key Angela, I have one for each exterior door, rekeying the house to one key for both doors would be nice as then I could do that, But It's not in the budget and the only person that I trust would be the manager. I don't think Grace will do much besides eat, sleep, look out the windows for birds(what else?) and use the litter box. Anything She could get to that She could scatter like salt and pepper shakers, etc, Has been put away already and I still need to take the trash out today. But then I'm almost ready to leave.
