Anniet! I found it! Thank you for sharing that link. I have watched it before. The look in Christian's eyes tells it all. It is simple, quite evident love. I get that from my kitties. Some days, Purrball in particular just lays next to me with that stare. I wake up, and she just HAS to have her paw on me. And that look. That look. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

CC you're a star finding the full length feature on Christian! :) Thank you so much, and for the cougar clips! Afraid I'm now a soppy mess over the story about the bear and the cat - but so glad their utterly enchanting bond was captured on camera for us all to be charmed by. So sweet! :) |

Ya know, I was thinking about that bear and his little cat buddy on and off all day at work yesterday...made me a little teary at times. Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

This is more about the human than the cat, but it still fits here. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

I just got home from the Farmer's Market and our Eva-kitty went absolutely nuts trying to decide what to eat first - fennel tops or carrot tops. I hope both of these greens are safe for cats, because there was no keeping her out of my market bag. |

LOL,she was missing something in her diet. It is just helping her with something, that might have upset her tummy. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

I hope both of these greens are safe for cats, because there was no keeping her out of my market bag. Did a quick search on the ASPCA toxic plant lists. A weed called dog daisy or dog fennel is toxic, but I am sure that is not what you have there. Carrot tops are non-toxic, but can cause skin irritation. (BTW, that is a good bookmark for all cat and dog owners to have handy for reference.) "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Impossible to have both in the house I've found!! Ferns eaten down to the root within minutes... only harmful effects I've noticed is on my expression :/ oh... and on the fern too... |

Well, we all had a bit of a scare here. Our Fryja cat ran away two days ago, but lucky for us she came back 22 hours later. She is checked out at the Vet's and she looks ok, but we are still all up in the air about it. Man what a time. |

Well, we all had a bit of a scare here. We went to pick out a new kitten yesterday. They will be ready at the beginning of September. They were all so cute that we decided to wait until we were ready to pick one up and seeing which one wanted to come home with us. We were talking to the owner about whether he lets his cats out because of the coyotes. He has lost 3 cats to coyotes, so I feel vindicated in making sure our cat comes in at night. I just hope we can train the new kitten to come home when we call like our current cat does. Otherwise, like you, I shall be all up in the air about it everytime he disappears for a while. :/ Reality Internet Personality |

Well, we all had a bit of a scare here. Firstly... SO glad she came back Celt. Must have been awful for you all :( Awwwww... kitten Es! :) I no longer let my cats out further than the garden - and heavily supervise them there because of the number of nesting birds we have. It was a painful decision but living on a corner where traffic races through from every direction always had me worried. The clincher though was when our cat came racing back over the wall smoking :( poor little girl had three burning cigarette butts (that had clearly been deliberately pushed into her fur) slowly setting fire to her. The only thing she'd done wrong as far as I can tell was to have a very trusting, friendly disposition. We now also have a lot of dispossessed foxes since the building works for the last olympics ousted them from their usual stomping ground, and they're really struggling to feed themselves as a result. |

Cats and ferns??? Zsa Zsa not only used to eat my Boston fern, she played in it, rolled around in it and slept in it. I miss that naughty little cat. |

We had all our neighbours and most of the rest of town looking for her. If we weren't known before around here, we are now...... |

We had all our neighbours and most I'm glad you had a happy ending...and now your neighbour's know who your cat belongs to. The old lady across the street is always "losing' her cat (i.e. she is standing on her driveway calling for him as he high tails it in the opposite direction across our back garden.) The other day she actually asked my husband to get him down from a tree he had climbed up. I thought things like that only happened in movies. So we know he belongs to her and she knows where our cat lives. This is a good thing. Reality Internet Personality |
