You should start a team just for people with kittie's, but since I do not have any, I could not be a part of it.... LOL....always loved that poster Fuzzy!!!! Does Bouncer crunch for Synergy too? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I crunch for BOINC Synergy though... Yes, that was so nice of the guy (I'm sorry, I don't even remember his alias) who made it for me, it's sad that he left. He was funny!

Well maybe the kitties will join Bouncer's Search for Edible Tasty Ingestibles (other than in their kibble dish) in their spare time while not minding the crunchers...LOL.

That's always a good quest for kitties. ;-D And my Bouncer Jupiter has almost reached planet size, she's about to have her own gravity field. At least she always manages to suck me into it to give her some pettings over her coat and rub her chin... "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |

Her own gravity field, eh? LOL...apparently her RAC (run and catch) ratio is doing very well in her search...... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

LOL Yes, she runs, specially when she hears me going to the kitchen, maybe a treat will fall down in her food bowl? And she catches, all the opportunities to get cuddled. And she's a balance artist! She loves to lie on top of me when I sleep, so when I wake up a bit to change my position in bed, she can actually manage to stay on top of me, no matter how I turn. So yes, I can lie on one side and turn onto my back or my stomach without her falling down from me. That's amazingly well done. As I said, she has her own gravity field, she keeps me as her satellite. I won't get out of orbit from her. :-D "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |

meeow Why? I have a cat with great hair rats all over her. I have wondered if washing or shaveing her would get rid of the. ED Do not live your life for anyone else. Do not allow anyone to live their lives for you. Ayn Rand |

If her fur is already impossibly tangled, shaving her is probably the only remedy. I had a friend with a cat that had to be shaved every spring no matter what...it seemed just impossible to brush him enough to keep his fur from becoming a solid mat every winter, almost became like a turtle shell...didn't seem to bother kitty at all, but looked just awful. So every spring, off it came..... Many long haired cats require several hours of brushing weekly to keep their fur smooth, silky, and free of knots....my GF's Maine Coon is very long haired, but seems to tangle very little...a few minutes with the brush a few times a week is enough to keep him looking good.... And most kitties seem to luv being brushed once they are used to it....... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Thanks Mark, I'll try that. She will be 17 in a few days. In recent years she has quit grooming properly. Ed |

I am sorry folks........ But my kitty muse got the best of me and I wrote another kitty poem...... I hope that all who are not so kitty-esqe will forgive me.....please. Here ya go....... The Shadow kitties...by msattler..... There are some in the hours twixed the mornin' and moonin' that sometimes have thoughts 'bout little critters all gloomin'. The little feets that silently crawl in the darkness and don't have a place that's their home just like ours is. It's the little paws I'm talking 'bout to you here today folks, The little paws sneaking about in the darkness. The kitties who have all long since abandoned their safe nest and are left all alone to sneak 'round in the darkness. You don't hear them them cry and you seldom hear them whimper But the kitties that hide all alone in the winter are always there to hear if you but give a close listen... Those kitties who's lives start out as a lost kitten. They are cute, so they say, when seen walking the street. Those little cute kittens walking 'bout on little feet. But the truth soon it dawns on those litte cute paws 'cuz they have no home to call theirs like we all have ours. So they wander and try to come up with a meal and try to find someplace where maybe they'd feel that THIS is the place where they maybe belong and perhaps they could stay here their whole happy life long. But alas they soon find out that it just isn't true, and they don't have a home, not like me, not like you. They are just homeless kitties, far away from their nest. And have no place left to call home like the rest. If your heart has a soft spot like I know that my own does, perhaps you could find a warm spot for one of these poor homeless... A kitty asks little from you in return friend, for a warm spot to sleep and some kibble they'd earn and, They'd luv you so much in return for their keeping that nowhere on earth could you ever be sleeping with a heart true and loving like a kitty that you've kept from sleeping out there all alone in the darkness.... The shadow kitties, I'm afraid they will always be out there. Waiting for someone like you to and I to give their care. They won't knock your door, and they won't call your phone, but the shadow kitties wait out there, and they're all alone. If you've ever walked past a li'l kitten lookin' at you in the silence and wondered why it is they've no home like yours is and mine is, Take time once to ponder a life that's a bit tragic and think how you could make their little lives a bit magic. The shadow kitties are waiting for you in the shelters. They yearn for a life much like mine is and like yours is. No more sleeping in corners hidden 'way in the darkness, But a warm spot to cuddle up with you in a safe nest. I know I have expressed my love of kitties many times from the start, but I walked past one yesterday that just broke my heart. She was sittling there all by herself in the cold snow, and could not understand a little love I would show. As I held out to her little cold paws with my hand and wanted to love her, she could not understand. So run off she did, back alone to who where knows.. To shiver and cry all alone in the shadows. Our lives are so much longer than the life of a kitten, And they give back so much consid'ring what they are given. Please ponder a life of in the world of the shadows. And what you could give kitties with the love you and I know. Please save a shadow kitty........ msattler 3/8/2008 "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
