Charlie
Location: Aliso Viejo, CA, USA
Charlie came to me on a whim. He has a gorgeous coat of dark grey with silver undercoat. He’s my only male and keeps us girls (two human, three feline) on our toes. My other three kits are pestered by him. He is a love machine and awesome purrer. He even tolerates the constant ‘handling’ by my four-year old. They grow up so fast!!

Love his poetry! And you did a great parody!
Hey Rainingwolf, how have ya been????
Had a cold..yuck..but there is nothing like a warm kitty or tow to snuggle in bed for comfort–and hot tea with lemon!
that was TWO not tow…sigh.
Sorry you had a cold, Raining wolf. Hope you feel better soon. It’s true, kitties do make you feel better.

Good Morning TDKers,
Ginny, that is one cute kitty ditty! Charlie is kute kitty, love the m on the bottom of his nose. It’s a beautiful day in northeast Mississippi. We received the news yesterday that we are getting the next Toytoa plant. Yeah! That is great news for our community and economy…….
I heard that on the news last night and thought of you. Businesses like that help all businesses in the area. Good for Tupelo.
That’s great news Tinafish! Always a good thing when a plant opens up as it brings a lot of jobs and business to the area. Hopefully Toyota is a good employer as well. I have owned three Toyotas in my life. Toyota Corolla, RAV4, and now a Camry. I learned to drive on my mom’s very old Toyota Corona (no power steer and had manual transmission).
I thought it was Dr. Zuess rhyme! Wonderful!!
wow meow what a lovely kitty today π
Happy wed all TDKers!
Charlie’s definitely a cutie-pie! He looks just like my Linus, only not as cat-atonic!
Charlie is a gorgeous guy !!! He fit right in how great !!! Does anyone have problems with their girl cats getting along – my three boys (yes, neutered) do fine, but the three girls (yes, spayed) do not – there are on-going territory struggles – laptime sharing problems, etc. Two of the ladies are still not friends after 4 years ??? Any ideas ??? Thanks in advance.
OK this one is going in my backpack. Say bye-bye to tdk Charlie..See you later, much later
Have fun today fellow kitten lovers. It is a gorgeous day in Montreal and the last day of February. YAY, could spring be actually on its way? π
I don’t usually comment because there are so many comments, but I wanted to say I have a button on my Firefox toolbar labeled ‘kitten’ and I eagerly look forward to another day’s cuteness. Totally makes my day to see another beautiful little critter.
Howdy, Caroline!
Never be discouraged to post! That’s one thing that makes this site so (forgive the word) doggoned fun!
Welcome Caroline!
Welcome Caroline!!!
Thanks for youe post!
Welcome!
Hi Caroline. Welcome!
Hola Caroline, I think we ALL have that link button -no matter what browzer or platform we use. π
Good Morning, Instinct, just wanted to thank you for the stimulating “back and forth” yesterday! I was pumped! I also want to thank other TDKers for their tolerance and/or their comments… I realize that there are “other” forums for those kind of posts (I heard you Ivory Bill π ). I probably violated the cardinal rule of “no politics or religion…” but it was lively! I want you to know that I do not expect, nor do I even want, other people to believe as I do. It is our differences that make life so interesting. I learn a lot from this site — from food to fuzz-facts to world events. Thanks, again! Nuf said?
I enjoyed it too CatRancher. I woulnd’t have said anything if I thought it was going to start a war, but since I know you’re intelegent and thoughtful I figured it was safe
π
You guys are the coolest! π
I am SO not singing “Kumbaya!”
Oh, thanks Dee…. now I have that stupid song in my head. Complete with tye dyed shirts and some guy on a guitar with his John Lenon glasses…..
There are disadvantages to being an animator – an overactive imagination is one of them
What’s worse is I’m envisioning Bill Parcells with green-dyed teeth!
Welcome and come back anytime we will look forward to your posts.
Caroline.. I clicked on your name and went to your site. Beautiful work! Do you live in Hawai’i ???
Yes, very nice work! Welcome.
Not to mention there is a beautiful, precious kitty on the site, as well. Bridget is beautiful. So sorry to see she has passed to the Rainbow Bridge. May she have warm, snuggly things and lots of catnip!
I agree-gorgeous photos!
Welcome Caroline. I took clicked on your link via your name. Very beautiful colors in your work. Very nice work.
Awwwwww…..Charlie is beautiful. Evangeline, you’re a copy-kitten. π
Have a good day all.
*Goes off to Catster to find kitties for the backpack since Evangeline took Charlie*
What a beautiful boy Charlie is. I want to kiss his button nose and roll him over to rub his belly.
Question. Does anyone else have their dreams invaded by their cats? I will be dreaming and suddenly realize that my cats are there. Usually in a non-cat friendly situation. Then for the rest of the dream, I am trying to round up my cats so that they don’t get lost or run away. Even in my dreams it is hard to hold three squirming adult cats at the same time! It must be because they walk all over me and lie on me while I am sleeping.
Yes my cats invade my dreams also but they are normally just in the backround and dont get in the way. id say its also coz mine sleep with us in bed too:-)
When the kitties that have gone to the rainbow bridge come into your dreams or make you think you’ve heard them and you turn around, it’s a message that they are still there, in spirit form, and are telling you that they are fine and happy and remember you and are looking down from heaven…
Awwwwww… that is SO sweet Cheri!
Everynight after I turn off the light, there is a thump at the end of my bed where Lil Hunney slept. This happened when there are no cats in the room. Annie lives in my bedroom now, but she sleeps against my leg so it’s not her. I can feel her against my leg. Also, I “hide” treats around the house for the cats. Lil Hunney’s favorite hiding spot was the bottom of the cat tree. After she passed the other cats would not eat the treats I left there so I stopped leaving treats in “her” spot. Strangely, I don’t get any of this with Whitey who passed a few weeks after Hunney. He preferred my daughter though.
I use to have dreams with my cat Whiskers in it. Usually they were disaster dreams and I was trying to save her. I think I had them because I was worried about her health. I would love to have a dream with her in it now since she went over the Rainbow Bridge two years ago. I haven’t had any dreams with my new kitty Sylvester as of yet.
I have dreams like that also – but usually other cats are there too. I always feel very weird when I wake up, and look around to make sure my babies are still there. (Like they’d ever give up hogging the bed or in Huddy’s case, sleeping on my neck).
Same here about the dreams. Alfie sleeps wedged against my neck too. He also kneads me there. ME-OWW! That can actually hurt but I simply cannot push him away!
OK HM, you can have Charlie now. I play nice:)
Huddy kneads me on my neck too!! It does hurt sometimes, but like you, I do not send him away. He actually purrs and drools while he’s doing it. He loves his mama.
*takes Charlie from Evangeline*
Thanks, dahling!! Come on Charlie.
Petey likes to knead my windpipe so now when I get into bed I tuck my chin (s) down to my chest so he puts a paw on each cheek (facial) and goes at it. I know this sounds wierd but does anyones kitty also use thier back feet and does a strange happy dance while his front paws are kneading?
Yes, I have a cat, George, who kneads with both front and back paws at the same time. This behavior is immortalized in the old TV cartoon “Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot.”
Kitty Massages!! My Biscuit and Harley are ALWAYS making “biscuits”!!
Huddy’s back feet flex back and forth while he kneads me. It’s pretty funny.
HM my Harley does that too, and he has that glazed over look too! It it pretty funny!! Biscuit just drools!!
Cats are such funny animals. Everyday at least one of mine will do something that either amazes me, dumbfounds me, or makes me laugh until tears run down my face.
Aren’t they just GRRRRRRRREAT!!
Indeed they are. They have DEFINITELY improved the quality of my life.
Gracie has a special purr that only comes out when she is sitting on my lap on her pillow and is kneading on me. Other times she purrs but it sounds different. I call it her “I love my mama purr” I picked her out when she was 5 days old and even when she was still being nursed by her biological mama she would knead on me and do her special purr with the treble notes.
Sylvester likes to knead my stomach but has been known to knead my chest area…ow ow ow ow!
Auntie always zeroes in on my throat or chest with the kneading – not so much enjoyable for Mom. I try to redirect her towards hte belly. I love the stoned look she wears when kneading and the hard-core purrs!
Those other cats are the ones you take home in your backpack LOL Love todays kitten, so soft and fluffy.
Many of my dreams have my kitties in them…those gone to the rainbow bridge and my living fuzzbutts. Often, too, I am trying to round them all up or one is missing or sick. When I’m stressed or worried, I often dream of them in danger, but have always been able to save or protect them. There are always at least two of my eight in bed with me…!
They say cats are color-blind, but my Lucy has a funny quirk when it comes to my bed. I have a Texas flag comforter (if you aren’t familiar with the flag, it has a 1/3 vertical blue band with the famous “lone star,” a 1/3 horizontal white band at the top right, and a 1/3 horizontal red band at the bottom right).
Lucy will only settle on the red portion of the bed! Not only that, of the many throw blankets we have in the house, she will only curl up on the red one! Her nose has been out of joint ever since it got cold and we put our blue (!) Korean “mink” blanket on top!
Actually, recent studies say that cats and dogs aren’t color blind, they just don’t see the range of colors that we do.
To them, the world is more muted, kind of like the way things look at dusk
Always looking to spar with someone, eh, Instinct! haha!
Actually, based on Lucy’s behavior, I had already come to the same conclusion as Instinct’s post. Sorry, Dee.
“What if they had a war and nobody came?” FUZZ
just trying to tease Instinct…
I just read too much Dee – from all areas and subject.
I use to weird out some of my fellow art students because as a interest I started teaching myself computer programing and was reading “A Brief History of Time” during my breaks between class.
Good book, easy read
No need to explain, Instinct–I’ve been a news (and soft news) junkie since I was in grade school. I sleep with the tv AND radio news whirring away in the background. Thank goodness for the internet–I don’t have to buy a half dozen papers each day. (Can’t beat that journalism background out of me! But, honestly, I get as much of a kick out of fluff pieces as I do out of “real” news stories…)
If I’m having a really stressful week, I always have a dream that one of my cats is either missing in a hotel or someone has let him out of a hotel room… I think the hotel comes from the fact I work in travel and most of my stress comes from work…. I don’t know what the missing/escaped cat is….
Charlie is a doll. π
I dream that one of my cats are missing when I’m stressed, as well! But, I constantly have dreams about my teeth falling out!! I’ve heard that’s quite common.
Where in Michigan are you, Amy? I grew up in the Detroit area–all of my family still lives in Novi and South Lyon and Dearborn.
Hey Dee, I have family all over Michigan. Grosse Pointe Woods, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, and Novi.
My sister-in-law and her family live in Grosse Pointe Woods. Gee, it’s a small world! π
I’m not to far away from any of those places. I live in Garden City and work in Livonia….
I used to dream about my teeth falling out, too, but it seems to be replaced by my escaped kitty dream…. I guess we will really need to start worrying if we start dreaming about our missing cats teeth falling out.. π
I haven’t had any cats invade my dreams, but I KNOW I hear a cat meowing at times when mine are fast asleep. I’ll go outside thinking that there is a stray looking for food or something-but nothing is there. I’m convinced that at one time my appartment had a cat that passed over and it’s still there. What to do with a spirit kitty?
When you hear the kitty, gently tell him/her to “gohome”… it’s ok to go home. Unless you enjoy having the spirit kitty around. π
Wow, I’ve had the same experience. The people we bought our house from had three cats and I was lucky enough to meet the cats when we looked at the house. I think since then one has crossed the Rainbrow Bridge because I hear a cat meowing in the hallway leading to our bedrooms but nobody is there and the meow is unlike any of my cats’ meows. I have also felt the cat jump up on the bed when my cats are in another room. I like having the spirit cat around and he or she knows they is welcome here.
We bought our house from a family that had three cats. I think one has crossed over because I hear meowing in the hallway at times when my cats are elsewhere. I have also felt the cat jump on my bed, so has my son. This spirit cat is very welcome in my home and I hope he or she knows that.
During Katrina, I dreamed we were flooding and I was frantically trying to tie Molly to my chest so she wouldn’t float away while I swam to safety. I couldn’t find anything to tie her with and was getting more and more panicky! when I woke up. She wasn’t in bed with me as she usually is, I leaped out and went running around calling her! Finally found her in her cat condo. I must have been thrashing around during the dream and scared her. It took a looong time for us both to settle down. The next day I sent money to a pet rescue group helping gather up the left behind pets. I have never been so scared in my life.
Awwwwww…..
How hansome are u?? this muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!:)
I often dream that I’m travelling with my cats and I have trouble keeping track of them. Then again, I’m an overprotective mommy to my kitties…
That is one handsome boy! His eyes look so wise for such a young’un.
love the kitty and the cook book thanks MerD great job TDK is a great place full of wonderful caring people. our thoughts are with Thomas and Chester in thier time of need
Your very welcome! π
Good Morning and Happy “hump” day TDK’ers!!
Charlie is quite a handsome fuzzbutt!! My, my, what big eyes you have Charlie….
PPearson, I often dream of my 2 girls that passed on 6 years ago, this is creepy, but I often “feel” them jumping on the bed and taking their designated sleeping spots. One was 18 and the other 14 when they passed on a month apart from each other. I sure do miss my girls. Don’t get me wrong, my 3 boys keep me on my toes everyday!!
Awwww LeAnne, that is SO sweet….
I’m sorry you lost your babies, especially so close together. They are never far from our heart……
Thank you! Yes, that was a hard blow losing them both like that, but they both had a wonderful, treat filled, pampered life. They will always be with me in spirit that’s for sure.
TDK’ers, please make sure you get blood tests done on your older fuzzbutts. Hyperthyroidism is very popular in older cats, you may think they’re losing weight because of old age, but that’s usually not the case, my 16 year old tuxedo is on daily meds, and he’s doing great! Some days it’s challenging to give him his medication, but I’m getting pretty good at tricking him!!
Try these pill pockets: http://www.discountpetmedicines.com/buy/pet-pill-pocket.htm
They work great and my cats love em….I have to separate my other cats when medicating, because they want them, too. They might sell them at PetSmart…but you can probably get them cheaper online or through your vet. I’m not promoting the site, above, it just shows you what they are!
Thank you CatRancher! How cool! I had never heard of pill pockets……I will definitely try to use these with Kittyman!! He might actually look forward to taking his meds!
We seem to have somewhat parallel lives. I also have a tuxedo who was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism when he was 12. He’ll be 15 in April and every day I feel lucky that he is still with us. Since you’re having trouble with his medication check with your vet to see if they have in treat form. My Bounce thinks he’s getting a special treat every day when he takes his Tapazol.
I have been using transdermal meds to treat my hyperthyroid Shaddo. Meds go on my gloved finger and he gets a little ear massage. I can’t force pills down because his teelh are in bad shape, and he can taste the liquid meds in his food. A good alternative.
They are telling you that they are still with you, in spirit form, and they are happy and fine and are remembering you while they look down from heaven…
Hey Cheri,
I was in Binghamton NY last July for the weekend. I was at a church for a dulcimer/autoharp gathering. Aubrey Atwater was there and did a concert. Oh, I adore her! You may have seen it in the newspapers. I play a dulcimer now and I’m into folk music.
I like folk music too. I am waiting for an autoharp to be delivered to me, I purchased it just last week. I’m self taught on guitar and mandolin – I just do it for the fun of it though. It relaxes me.
Oh, that is cool Huddy’s mama!!
We have a group here that gets together once a month to play dulcimers. There are people with other instruments too. We had a guitar, harp, hammered dulcimer, wooden flute, mandolin, etc.
I took piano lessons as a kid, taught myself guitar mostly, as I had a teacher later on in High School. Tried autoharp, banjo, violin, but stuck with the guitar. My daughter also used my same piano books at my same age as me when I took lessons. I taught her some and then we had the coolest teacher for her. She got further than I did in my books. Then it became so hard and she quit lessons.
I really wish my parents had given me lessons when I was younger. We had a piano, but my dad didn’t like the noise so we only messed around on it when he wasn’t at home – lol.
The guitar I started playing around 5 or 6 because my parents both had electric guitars (I guess they thought they’d be the next Beatles, Hendrix, etc) and when they got bored with them I took them over.
I’d love to find a group here that got together just to ‘jam’. I have a co-worker and she and I have hung out and jammed before, but we live so far away from each other it doesn’t happen very often.
I just started playing the mandolin about 3 years ago. My brother in law (the one with all the horrible elephant jokes) gave it to me when I was visiting California. He told me his family had brought it over here from Scotland. I took right to it, and recently played Amazing Grace at the funeral of my good friend’s brother.
Hi Huddy’s Mama,
HHMM, you play all those instruments and collect kitties in your RV. That is going to be one traveling sideshow!
Music and entertainment! I used to know someone who played a little folk music and they would have big get- to-gathers, where they all jammed. It was always somewhere different.
Hi Huddy’s Mama,
I’m a mandolin player, too! Being half Scot and half Irish, there’ve been mandolin players since the dawn of time in my family. I played a lot when I was a kid, after one of my uncles taught me, but set it aside for my flutes and whistles. I started up again recently in case my daughter might be interested, but she seen to prefer the piano. That’s probably a good thing, since my husband says that mandolin players seem to spend 50% of our time tuning, and the other 50% playing out of tune! π Hope you’re better than me.
I’ve always admired people who are self-taught on instruments. I’ve been interested in learning to play the flute and tin whistle but don’t know if I could teach myself.
Mary,
I had a wooden whistle, but it wooden whistle.
So I got a lead whistle, but it wouldn’t led me whistle.
So I got a tin whistle, and now I tin whistle!!!
Thanks Ginny, that’s cute. You’ll give Ivory Bill a run for his money!
Charlie looks so soft and huggable **kisses kitty**.
Ooh, me too! Tweak their little kitty cheeks! Kisses kisses kisses…mmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Charlie is so adorable. Smoochies on his sweet face!
Evangeline-Have you been in touch with your childhood friend?
Ivory Bill-How is Joshie?
Thomas-Hang in there man!
Chester-Will keep you in our prayers.
Have a great day TDKers.
Thanks for asking Teresa, Sadly I wrote, several times to the addy the kittenmaster was nice enough to give me but so far nothing.
Still hoping π
I was released from the hospital a couple of hours ago- was taken in by ambulance, had a major panic attack. Feel better now, but very tired.
T
So sorry to hear about that, Thomas. Feel better and get some rest. Hug a kitty, that always makes my day much better! Maybe somebody will drop the backpack with Charlie in it and you can grab it. Keep your eyes peeled!!
Still sending you positive healing thoughts, Thomas
Sending you calm,healing thoughts and prayers. We care about you.
Oh Thomas…your stress must be unbearable! My heart goes out to you! Please, please be good to yourself! I sent you an email today…if you want to talk, let me know via email and I’ll send you my phone number. I’m sure that you were prescribed medications, make sure that you take them. These attacks are very serious from a medical and mental point of view.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience there Thomas. I have a coworker who is going through anxiety attacks as well. She just went to her doctor and did whole barage of tests to make sure she wasn’t having heart issues. This world can be very overwhelming at times as we all seem to travel at a very fast pace. Take time to scoop up your furry friends and give them some love. I find mine is the best medicine at times.
Thomas,
I am so sorry you had a panic attack…..
Prayers for you….
Take good care.
I too have anxiety attacks. One of the reasons I like this site, is because everyone here is so positive and plesant. Hang in there! π
Teresa, thanks for asking. Joshie is doing fine. He was having recurring colds, and I finally did fof him what my Mom did for me…. a bowl of warn chicken broth. What a difference! He snarfs up the soup, and its like he is ten again!
He is fifteen, and a little chicken soup and he turns intp a kittten again. Ready to play and snuggle!
FWIW, Joshie and I are working on a catster page that will include tje puddy tats that he and I have loved and snuggled with over the years. We will keep our TDK buds informed,
Good morning. Nice crisp morning here in Northern Cal. We had hail last night and some roads have ice this morning. Temps are now around 40 degrees. Brrr!
Codie is a diluted Tortie? He is a handsome kitty! I see a “m” right above his nose. Really cool markings on this kitty. Picking Charlie up to give him a snuggle, a kiss, and a belly rub. Oh so cute. Today is the last day of Feb and it is “hump day” which means it is all downhill to the weekend. Saturday, 3/3 is my Dad’s 74th birthday. Hope to be able to take him out for lunch or have him over. I didn’t sleep much last night as I had to get up an hour earlier to be in an hour earlier and my sleep pattern was all off. I am in early to help with a print job and of course the item that needs to be printed is not available yet and the meeting is at 8am. Yet another fun morning of running around because of someone else’s poor planning. Oh it so much fun to be an Admin Assistant. . π
Picking up Charlie to snuggle with so that my heart rate will go back to normal…and giving him up for the next person. Need a group hug with Charlie.
Karin – I’m an AA too, so I feel your pain. I have to keep telling myself that everything is not top priority and everything is not an emergency. *shudders* Have as good a day as you can, hon.
Post a sign outside your office/cubicle that states “Failure to plan on YOUR part, does not constitute an EMERGENCY on my part!”
I have had that plaque on my desk for years. I got it from my dad who was once a Postmaster. It sat on his desk until he retired, and then he passed it on to me.
The usual response I got to that (especially from those who had clout, or thought they did) was “If I wanted it tomorrow, I’d have asked for it tomorrow!”
I tried that once with a boss…. his response ?!?! Yes it does. And so it went.
Charlie is as sweet as can be. *rubs his nose and scritches his cheeks*
The plaque on my desk reads “complaint department, press red button for service” (the red button in on a mouse trap!!)
The Msgr. who is the Pastor of my church has five bassett hounds in the church directory they are listed as the complaint department. When I first went there I thought why would anyone complain what they were enjoying mass too much then I looked at his biography on line and the bassetts had the same names as the complaint department ones.
I love the plaque. When I worked I had a fool bring me work at the end of the day I had to stay over and sometimes the bus stopped running by then and I had to take a cab home at my exspence. The kicker was yes, Sears just called him with the changes but he was on the phone most of the day with friends discussing sports etc. they couldn’t get thru. I finally exploded one day and he changed his eveil ways he just needed an attitude adjustment and a threat of violence well not really a threat more of a promise!
I feel your pain, also, Karin. I am a JAA (Judicial). The end of the month is the ABSOLUTE worst time here. And, I’m Assistant to the chief, so my duties go up a lot. I was at work late yesterday working on an opinion and, of course, my Judge went out of town, so it’s all me!! Yay!! Now today I’m scrambling to get it filed in time. So what am I doing on here, you ask. I guess I’m checking out the lovely kitties, hoping they’ll deal with the migraine I got last night and which is still killing me. Would have called in sick today if I could have. *sigh* Who knows! Gotta run.
Thank you all for your kind words. I appreciate your support.
I have seen that plaque with the Γ’β¬ΕFailure to plan on YOUR part, does not constitute an EMERGENCY on my part!Γ’β¬Β saying but unfortunately I am only a temporary and we temps are always getting abused like this because we cannot fight back. I was to put that type of sign outside of my cubicle, they would let me know they no longer need me. This is the company where they were voted #2 on the 100 best places to work. As far as I can tell, that doesn’t seem to apply to the assistants here or the temps for that fact.
I was a temp for almost a YEAR before my present job hired me permanently. Temps DO get abused because they can’t fight back – I’m with you on that one. I’m sorry and hope it gets better soon for you. I know how stressful that is.
Hi Karen, I’ve been a temp and an AA and they are thankless jobs. I finally got so fed up after 22 years of this abuse I quit my job and swore I would never take another temp or AA job. Now I’ve got a great job, my own office and life is pretty good. Hang in there!
So your saying that your job as an AA might just put you in AA? π
Well Instinct, if I was a drinker yes it would put me in “AA” but I am a foodie and when I stress I go for the chocolate. So give me the chocolate chip cookies, cake, chocolate covered raisins, etc. Also, need my cat Sylvester on my lap purring away. He is a stress reducer most of the time unless he is being a brat.
I told my husband all the fun I was having this whole week and he said that at any job there will always be this kind of occurances and to not go running out the door too quickly. Well, they are assessing my work this week and if they like me will offer me a permanent job. After these past three days, I don’t see an offer happening now. Oh well, it isn’t meant to be, it isn’t meant to be. I really need a vacation badly.
I will say it again…thank you all for your kind words of support. I really do appreciate all of you. π
The boy is just absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I LOVE that coloring!
Handsome, handsome, handsome……
“Never a possession, always the possessor, with skin as pale as smoke, and eyes tawny and sharp as yellow wine.” – Neil Gaiman
What a beautiful boy!
‘Morning everyone! Here’s a link from my favorite geeky guilty pleasure, the magazine called Mental Floss. It gave me a grin I still haven’t been able to wipe off my face: http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/4403
Susan, thanks for the link. Looks like something I would love to read.
Good one susan π thanks for sharing
π a new bookmark π
Susan, what is that Neil Gaiman quote from?? I’ve loved his work ever since I was introduced to “Coraline” in a Children’s Lit college course. The quote sounds familiar to me, just curious! Thanks!
Hi Amy Lou,
It’s from Sandman (Seasons of Mist). He is a masterful writer, isn’t he?
Ever read any Terry Pratchett? He has co-written a book or two with Gaiman, but is best known for his “Disc World” series. His books are wickedly funny. They are to Fantasy as Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was to Sci-Fi.
Pratchett is also wonderful! Understandably, I read both him and Gaiman in the same class I took. I was so thankful for that one, because it introduced me to things I would have never picked up on my own. I also became a huge Ursula K. Le Guin fan (the Earthsea series).
Then *surely* you have read “Catwings”? My 8 yr old just finished it, and now wants every book she’s ever written! I hadn’t read Pratchett, but I will now go and look for him, as I absolutely loved “Hitchhiker’s”.
~~*So long, and thanks for all the fish!*~~
Too funny! My husband has two clown fish like little Nemo in is reef aquarium, I’ll send him the link.
Thank you Susan for sharing that. I had to chuckle at the picture. sick but funny. I was told once that I had warped sense of humor.
When I was in grad school, I papered my cube with The Far Side. I sure do miss Gary Larsen!!!!
Good Morning all! Especially Charlie because he’s MY Charlie! I finally found a good picture of my boy as a kitten and submitted it. And he doesn’t mind all the belly rubbing. He is very special, they all are. I hope that you are all well, and if not, that you will be soon.
Your Charlie is beauitful. I got a glimpse of him the other day on Catster. Such interesting colors with those big green beautiful eyes. You must be one proud mama!
Good morning Tiger! Charlie is just adorable! I bet he’s as soft as cotton…
Congrats, Tiger!
As stated above, he looks (and based on your description, acts) just like my Linus. If I didn’t know better, I’d say they were littermates! They are certainly kindred spirits!
OH how cool Tiger! I am just a bit envious. None of my pix were deemed good enough by kittenmaster, but I love him anyway π
I am so confused at this point, are we friends at catster? Could you put up your catster link again. Thanks.
Hi Evangeline. The kittenmaster was saying the other day that they get hundreds of pictures a week. I submitted my Trixie’s picture about 5-6 months ago, still hasn’t shown up so I guess my pictures aren’t good enough either. Oh well, I still have the REAL Trixie to love!
Hi Tiger
Charlie is beautiful i’ll bet he is real snuggley- he just has that look about him
I thought he might have been your charlie that I saw on Catster. He is a beautiful boy!
I just saw him on your catster sight, so when I opened up TDK today, I thought something was amiss! (I’m a bit slow on the uptake in the mornings!) He is just beautiful…Charcoal Charlie, isn’t it? I love his coloring….just gorgeous with the streaks/patches of lighter and darker greys! You are so fortunate Tiger and he’s lucky to have you, too!
I THOUGHT Charlie looked very familiar! He looks like a very gentle soul…
Tiger,
Charlie is just gorgeous. Give him a belly rub on behalf of us TDKers.
Charlie is beautiful. That smoke color just makes me want to grab him up and sneak away with him.
Yes, yes! I recognize my friend Charlie, there! He’s such a handsome boy, so unique and lovely! Congrats on making the Daily Kitten, Charlie!!!
Hi Tiger,
I’m so happy for you, that your Charlie made it on TDK. I knew I’d seen him somewhere, before, unless I was having psyhic dreams. He is so cute!
I am in love with Charlie! What a cutie pie!
Why wasn’t I here just a bit earlier… I could have swiped him before Evangeline or Huddy’s Mama. Guess the saying about the early bird catching the worm is right on target! Oh well, maybe next time…
What does that make the early worm?
Birdfood!!!
HAHAHAHA!
sorry….
Good answer, Fiona. Thanks for the laugh π
Morning all… Charlie is very sweet….. Love the coloring!
Did anyone save MerD’s link to the cookbook? I didn’t get it and now I can’t find it in the comments.
MerD didn’t post a link. You need to email her at
TDKcookbook at gmail dot com
and she will email it to you. It is in word form so it should be easy to open. I submitted a couple of recipes that haven’t appeared on TDK so there are some extras out there even for those who have been clipping recipes out of the comments. (Roasted Tomato Soup and Sugar Free Cheesecake are two of the new ones)
Thanks… I couldn’t find anything about it, though I know it’s there…. argh.
I have been sending it out by email only. I don’t have a site to put it on, and don’t know how to make one. I made the email address for the cookbook only. I was afraid of getting a bunch of spam in my own email boxes. Just email me and I will send you a copy that way.
TDKcookbook AT gmail DOT com
way too cute! as calvin would say about hobbes… fuzz therapy!
please visit http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/ daily. help our furry friends! thank you!!
Good morning Tiger!
That’s really cool to see your beauty on here! Congrats, as I know it takes a long time sometime. He is definately a beauty!!!

Patrick McDonnell does it again! One day, I will name a tiny tabby “Shtinky Puddin.'”
I love Shtinky Puddin! It’s also one of Shaddo’s nicknames. If I only read one comic strip, it’s Mutts.
Good Morning TDK’s. I’ve been lerking for a while but thought I would post today. Charlie is oh so cute but aren’t they all?? My cats walk all over me when I sleep to but the only ones I dream of have crossed the rainbow bridge. They do come back from time to time to visit. You just know they are there. The only time my sleep is interupted is when my senior siamese cat bites me to wake me up on purpose. Not really a bite per say as much as a nip to get my attention.
Hello to all and I will see you again!
Welcome to TDK debsterwiz!!
as i am fond of saying this is the best site and it always brings me a smile with all the lovely kits and and their servants (us mere humans!) π
Thank you for the welcome fiona. Yes, I have noticed that this is a great site and the kittenmaster is awsome!
Welcome, where in the world are you snuggling with your kitties? Come back anytime I love this site and the people here are great the kitties are devine bundles of fluff.
Thanks Susan. I snuggle with all 7 of my kids in NE PA. I live with my 7, 1 lizzard and my 13 yr. old son. He wants a dog but in MY house, cats rule!
Welcome debsterwiz! You have now been added to my list! I posted a list yesterday of all the locations that have showed up on TDK. Pennsylvania now has a total of 5, California is now tied with Texas at 8!
Welcome debsterwiz. Glad you posted.
Welcome, debsterwiz!
howdy, Debsterwiz!
Welcome Debsterwiz. The more the merrier.
Welcome to the site! This is a really great place to blow off some steam from the day. Of course, it can be addicting and that can be bad for work!!!
Hello Debsterwiz. Welcome. π
What a beautiful Charlie. I’m sure Tiger gives you plenty of love!
Tiger, your Charlie is so cute, he been backpack napped already!!!!!!! Poor HM had to go to another website to get one for hers! A very handsome boy. Snuggles and kisses to Charlie.
End of the month here and alot to ship out. May not get back til tomorrow. If not, have a great day/night all!
And for me, I feel greatly relieved! TAKS writing is over, the 6-weeks grades are done and submitted, and I am taking a working “day off” on Friday to concentrate on the ESL assessments. There is light at the end of the tunnel–I just hope it’s not an oncoming train! Not only that, but dear hubby took me to dinner last night! Chicken-fried chicken–mmmmMMMM!
Glad things are getting fisished and you are taling a day off on Friday.
So glad you went out to dinner!!!!
hugs….
MMMMM Chicken fried chicken. mmmmmmm I’ll bet with gravy and mashed potatoes. mmmmmmmmmm. How much longer until lunch?
Actually, it was gravy and twice-baked potatoes! New Ulm is going upscale (yeah, right!)
Geeeeeez……now I want chicken……….I’m hungry!!
I love Cracker Barrel’s chicken fried chicken with the mashed potatoes and milk gravy. I always order the green beans and col slaw but always finished all of my beans and didn’t have any to take home with the other half of my lunch. I finally got smart and ordered both sides of green beans – duh.
Yes, Charlie is spoiled, loved, and woke my daughter up this morning by jumping on her head. π Thanks for your well wishes.
PS – Just click on my name and that will take you to his catster profile.
OK! We just sent you a friend invite.
May I ask you, how the heck do you do the link thing with your name? Thanks in advance π
Post the link in your URL. That’s how I did it. (My name takes you to Huddy on catster). URL you post automatically links to your name – which turns it pink.
BUt there is an HTML code, no?
Yes – it’s the link at the top of your catster page for your cat(s). Or you can right click on the page and just copy the properties down and put that in the box instead. Hope this is making sense.
Nope it is clear as mud but remember I am the computer goof not geek!
Your reply menu has the box URI – in this box type the catster address at http://www.catster.com/cats/## where the ## is the specific number for your cat. It automaticlly puts the http:// on the beginning for you.
π
Bet you I am mucking it up.
Mucked up!
Your putting it where your name goes, there are 4 boxes.
the top one is your screen name
second one is your email
third one is URI – place the http://www.catster…. here (remember to leave off the http:// part and start at the www.
the last one is the comments box where I am typing this in.
Does this help? π
Well gosh, a clear answer, will tell you in a sec if I am more stupid than I thought.
Thank you π
I love you MerD! I also love showing off my babies.
Again thanks so much!
Your welcome! I love the cute little orange nose that Wally (and tabbies) have! Your kitties are adorable. π
Thanks MerD my Wally is a little sweetheart. . To me he looks like he fell face first into a bowl of a caramel sundae. I am sure he would love it. He loves food almost as much as he loves me π
How fun to see Charlie on TDK! My daughter has banished ‘Bub from her room because he wakes her up by sitting on her and licking her ear!
Charlie is a cute little smokey grey boy!… He looks like my little grey girl , named Smokey! She is 15 years old and still playful. π
Charlie is so cute! What pretty eyes.
Has that look like I didn’t do it!
Honest!
What a cutie! Growing up, we had 2 gray cats–Smog and Smokey Joe. They (and Charlie) are so beautiful.
Happy Hump Day!
Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by an encounter with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light.

Did you hear about this unbelievable story? A mother in Washington coached her 2 children to fake retardation so she could collect Social Security benefits!
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/27/washington.faked.retardation.ap/index.html
Is this the same kid that argued over the traffic ticket and got busted that way? Shame shame.
OK, now this is funny – Prince Charles wan’t to ban McDonalds
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23387071-details/Charles%3A+Ban+the+Big+Mac/article.do
Doesn’t this torque you off? There are many food options at McDonald’s–not too mention that plenty of thin people with no health concerns eat at McDonald’s. And what about the DOZENS of other fast food restaurants? Ban all of them, too?
What next?? Maybe they’ll start weighing you in upon entering a fast food restaurant and tell you what you can and can’t order……..I won’t be surprised if it comes to this one day!!
Someone should figure out the calorie and fat content of the typical English favorite fish and chips. I wonder if he would be in favor of banning them!
Well, heck they already banned trans-fats in New York City even though the scientific research doesn’t show that it is any more harmful than non trans-fats.
They banned them anyway under the “better safe than sorry” rule, so why not just ban all food that is “bad” and we can have a world just like in Demolition Man (yes, I’ve seen that one too)
I work at the Cleveland Clinic, and our CEO, who pegs the arrogance meter, has decided that as of TOMORROW, trans-fat is officially banned from the clinic in patient food, vending machines and the cafeterias. This was announced yesterday, BTW. He’s already lost a round with Mickey D’s so I guess he was looking for something to do after banning smoking on all Clinic property (including in your car in the parking garages). The funny thing about McDonalds is that those of us who have been there for a while were shocked that the place that advertises itself as the premier heart hospital in the nation would have invited them to lease space in the first place. Apparently so was our new CEO, but they have a 10 year lease on a site near the hospital cafeteria, and he couldn’t evict them without a major court fight, which the Clinic would have lost. Ironically, directly across the corridor from McDonalds is a Starbucks. One of their tricked out lattes has as much fat in it as a Big Mac, but the CEO didn’t go after that. Why? Well, the place is lousy with white coats, most of them staff and residents, any hour you care to choose. I guess he’d rather not have to deal with the riot they’d start if they couldn’t get their joe during breaks in their 36 hour shifts.
Wow—sounds like your CEO has OCD!
Naw, he’s just a control freak. He recently quit being a surgeon so that he could devote his full time to managing us. ***shudder***
Oh, god. I hate that type of boss. Do yourself a favor and run for the hills.
We have a new hospital going up here in Dublin, OH. Maybe you could get a job there π
Charlie is so hansome I always wanted a grey kitty that is what I went for to the HSUS also wanted a female. That is when I came home with Taffy, male, taffy colored kitty with a half a tail and a shaved butt with three stitches on the end. Had to bring him home as he picked me to love. Maybe the next time I will be picked by a grey one.
I found the cutest kitty today, although his legs are a little short:
http://www.cuteaddict.com/2007/02/part_corgi_part.html
Aren’t those the “kitten” cats we’ve discussed? They are bred to be permanent-looking kittens. I’ve read that they can’t jump on furniture, counters, etc…
Awwwwwwwww. Gotta have one! How cute is that baby!
It is amazingly cute and I just want to cuddle those kind of cats, but I would never specifically breed an animal to have a mutation. I believe genetically that’s what “munchkinism” is. It’s almost like purposely giving your child a kind of dwarfism! I wouldn’t want to have legs that short!
Here you go, Susan in Ga! haha!
The right man comes at the right time.
Italian proverb
I’ve only had the “wrong man come every time” so far!! Har! Har! Har!
Not gonna touch this one, too many ways I can get in trouble.
(my wife would be so proud of my restraint)
Can’t touch this……….Hammertime!!
Song of the day TDK’ers!! Sorry…….
oh, boooooo π
Hey Instinct,
Mine would just chime in with me! And we’d have a good laugh. We may not touch this comment but we know what we are thinking. lol I’m laughing.
Oh you two, behave…….
Instinct–if you don’t stop misbehaving, I will have to ask Prince Charles to ban you!
Well, if I get banned then I will just have to turn to crime and begin smuggling trans-fat foods into New York
I think the only man that is going to come for me that will be interested is the Grim Reaper!
Susan in GA
Funny! Have you ever heard the saying, The devil doesn’t want you and God ain’t ready for you yet! We used to tell my great aunt that saying. She’d get a laugh.
How are you today? Does your new pain medication seem to be working any better than your old one ? Hope you have a nice day. I’m fixing to go out and visit my kitties, will be back later tonite to read any new comments. Take care.
My great aunt told her husband that he would live forever as God didn’t want him and the devil is afraid he would take over. The new med is pretty good. The test will be confined in the car for 6 hours driving to Savannah on Friday that and sitting next to my brother! I still sleep way too little each night but what the heck it could be worse. Thank you for asking Renee you are most kind. And Dee you say I crack you up and most times I am not trying to be funny it is just my warped personality.
You always make me laugh, Susan!
Now if only Mr. Right’s first name wasn’t “Always.”
Oh you have met my brother.

Hello Everyone,
I browse this site daily, I believe it keeps me sane. (See #3 – all non-pet owners)
Love your comments, recipes, poems etc.
Received this in my e-mail today and immediately thought the most appropriate place to share it is TDK.
Enjoy the day, and walk in sunshine.
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door – snout height.
Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me
to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years-canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat’s butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don’t.
2. If you don’t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That’s why they call it “fur”niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it’s an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn’t speak clearly.
Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don’t ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Usually come when called
5. Never drive your car
6. Don’t hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don’t smoke or drink
8. Don’t worry about having to buy the latest fashions
9. Don’t wear your clothes
10. Don’t need a gazillion dollars for college, and
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
Welcome Archangel! Love your post…keep em’ coming!!
Love it! thanks.
That is SO true! Thanks, Archangel—join us more often!
I have read this before and all I can say is Amen. I need a simalar sign for my front door.
Hi Archangel,
That is a good one. Thanks for posting it. I think I’ve read it somewhere, too, it’s been awhile though. Welcome aboard!
Nicely done Archangel. Welcome to TDK. π
I want to add one: If you call to say you are coming for a visit. Don’t complain that you are allergic to my cats. You knew they lived here. Don’t expect me to lock them in the garage or out on the porch. Either A: Bring some allergy medicine, B: Get a hotel room, or, C: Wait until I can come visit you in your cat free house. I will get a sitter and leave the felines at home and make an effort to de-fur my clothing.
Great post! I’m going to send it to all my pet loving friends, which are all my friends! I would like to add #12. They don’t effortlessly flunk every subject in school.
This is so funny and true. Co-workers are looking at me in a funny way as I am giggling away at my desk. Now if I could just figure out how to print it !! (I’m techno-challanged)
Keltickittys13,
I think all you have to do is have what you want to be printed, up on your screen, click on “file” in your upper toolbar. A box will appear with a list of choices. Click on “Print”, it helps also to have your printer ready with paper! Hope this helps.
what renee said… but I would first highlight the part you want to print (hold down your right mouse button) then click on “File”, then “Print” and make sure to choose “Selection” That way you only get the part you want and not the whole page. π
oops… change right mouse button to left mouse button
Heres how I did it to get the cookbook together.
1. Open MS Word , open a new documment
2. In the blog, highlight the text you are interested in
3. copy that text, then go back to the empty word document
4. Past you text in.
5. If you are going after a couple of things, you can hop back and forth, copying and pasting.
6. you can also edit, save and/or print from word too.

Can anyone in the Houston area speak on this? How cool!
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page1905.html?theme=light
It’s not too far from where I work. I’ve been by it dozens of times, but never get too close. I’m sort of zany like that. Actually, I’m really one of those people who’s ‘sensitive’ to the paranormal so I try to avoid it – lol.
Huddy’s Mama: (and everyone else) Do you listen to Coast to Coast AM in the evenings? They have a different topic each night–mostly metaphysical. Their site is where I found the photo. It is addictive! I’ve been listening for 15 years–would even listen to it while I had my own show to do! Click on “help” at the home page, and then click on “affiliates” to find what station airs it in your area. Although it airs from 1 am to 5am EST, many affiliates repeat the previous night’s show at 10pm EST. And it’s on every night of the week with a different topic each night. I think you’ll like tomorrow’s show!
Dee, I’ve listened to it a few times when I’ve been driving home late at night. It’s a great show, and I can never turn it off once I’m listening. And thanks for the haunted tree link. It’s just an hour or so up the road for me, so I think I’ll have to go check it out. I’ll let you know if I get spooked.
Isn’t this confusing/irritating?**Supplement use doesn’t help and may harm, study finds**
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2003592944_vitamins280.html
OH! @#!A#@^%@!!!! It is beyond irritating Dee. It is utter and total frustration!
I guess that the thousands of dollars many of us have spent on supplements (I’ve been downing them daily for 30 years!) have just resulted in very expensive urine!
I GIVE UP!!!!!!!! WHEN WILL THE MADNESS STOP??!!
LOL Dee, you just cracked me up! That is a perfect comment …
This study concerned MEGA DOSES. Which is overuse. It did not look at normal useage.
TDKers- put your coffee down-then read π
IF MY BODY WERE A CAR…
If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I’ve got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull … But that’s not the worst of it.
My headlights are out of focus and it’s especially hard to see things up close.
My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.
My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.
It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.
But here’s the worst of it —
Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter. ….either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Good one Mer!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love it, MerD! Very true and funny. Thank you for the laugh!
Need a new paint job, too! π
OMG! My radiator just leaked! TOO FUNNY, Dee!
This is one beautiful kitten! And how lucky he is to be the only boy in a household of women. He is going to be SOOO spoiled. I have the reverse situation, with having one girl cat amongst all the boys, and she is spoiled rotten. Charlie is so soft-looking, I just want to stroke his plushy fur.
Received this today and thought of all the Daily Kitteners:

Excerpts from a Cat’s Daily Diary:
Day 683 of my captivity: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them; I once again vomit on the floor. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a “good little hunter” I am. The audacity!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of “allergies.” I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow — but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.
The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded!
The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe …….. for now …
Absolutely LOVE IT!! I’m still cracking up………..I wonder if that’s what they really think……
That is a great classic! Hysterical!
Good one FondaHonda! I think I’ve read this once before but it still gives me a good chuckle!
When you have a dog and two cats, you can really relate to it!
My dog’s demeanor is exactly like it says–“Oh, boy!” to just about everything. . .and then the 2 cats look at me like I’m crazy! Free entertainment!
giggle,giggle,giggle !!!
Charlie is so beautiful. his coloring is so different. Where ever did you get him.
Check out Randy Jackson from American Idol–he’s helping with “Morris’ Million Cat Rescue!” sponsored by 9Lives. Click on “read Randy’s bio” to check out the adorable kitten he adopted—he named him Dawg! For some of the “younger” people to the site, click on Morris’ rescue story–very heartwarming…
http://www1.9lives.com/default.aspx?page=randyjacksonbio
In the “lenders library” in my classroom, I have a copy of a book called “A Dog Named Kitty” by Bill Wallace. I’ve heard the theory that each of us has an identical twin somewhere on this planet–I wonder if he and Randy are direct opposites?
BTW, in the book “Kitty” gets his name because he is a stray who would only come when it was time to feed the cats (“Here, kitty, kitty!”) By the time the family decides to keep the dog, he thinks “Kitty” is his name and refuses to answer to anything else!
That is so cute that he is involved. I was wondering what Randy’s background was for him to be involved with American Idol. What is Simon’s? We all know Paula’s and I find that she is kind of annoying on the show. My husband loves to watch the show but I can’t watch it as I hate watching Simon at times when he is so mean.
Who watched American Idol last night? I thought Sundance was fantastic! Can’t wait for the girls tonight…
I watched last night while I painted. Tonight, same stuff different day! I thought Chris Sligh was good last night as well. Jared wasn’t the best, but that guy has Charisma! I think half the women in America had to have melted into puddles when he sang Marvin Gaye last night. I’m almost old enough to be his mama and I got a little swoonish. If I were in the 20’s to 30’s set I’d have been dialing for him!
Jared is gorgeous!
This is funny but it could bring terrifying flashbacks to anybody who’s ever bathed a cat (speaking from experience here):
Cat Bathing as A Martial Art
-By Bud Herron
Some people say cats never have to be bathed. They say cats lick themselves clean. They say cats have a special enzyme of some sort in their saliva that works like new, improved Wisk–dislodging the dirt where it hides and whisking it away.
I’ve spent most of my life believing this folklore. Like most blind believers, I’ve been able to discount all the facts to the contrary – the kitty odors that lurk in the corners of the garage and dirt smudges that cling to the throw rug by the fireplace.
The time comes, however, when a person must face reality; when he must look squarely in the face of massive public sentiment to the contrary and announce: “This cat smells like a port-a-potty on a hot day in Juarez.”
When that day arrives at your house, as it has in mine, I have some advice you might consider as you place your feline friend under your arm and head for the bathtub:
Know that although the cat has the advantages of quickness and utter disregard for human life, you have the advantage of strength. Capitalize on that advantage by selecting the battlefield. Don’t try to bathe him in an open area where he can force you to chase him. Pick a very small bathroom. If your bathroom is more than four feet square, I recommend that you get in the tub with the cat and close the sliding-glass doors as if you were about to take a shower. (A simple shower curtain will not do. A berserk cat can shred a three-ply rubber shower curtain quicker than a politician can shift positions.)
Know that a cat has claws and will not hesitate to remove all the skin from your body. Your advantage here is that you are smart and know how to dress to protect yourself. I recommend canvas overalls tucked into high-top construction boots, a pair of steel-mesh gloves, an army helmet, a hockey face mask and a long-sleeve flak jacket.
Prepare everything in advance. There is no time to go out for a towel when you have a cat digging a hole in your flak jacket. Draw the water. Make sure the bottle of kitty shampoo is inside the glass enclosure. Make sure the towel can be reached, even if you are lying on your back in the water.
Use the element of surprise. Pick up your cat nonchalantly, as if to simply carry him to his supper dish. (Cats will not usually notice your strange attire. They have little or no interest in fashion as a rule. If he does notice your garb, calmly explain that you are taking part in a product-testing experiment for J.C. Penney.)
Once you are inside the bathroom, speed is essential to your survival. In a single liquid motion, shut the bathroom door, step into the tub enclosure, slide the glass door shut, dip the cat in the water and squirt him with shampoo. You have begun one of the wildest 45 seconds of your life.
Cats have no handles. Add the fact that he now has soapy fur, and the problem is radically compounded. Do not expect to hold on to him for more that two or three seconds at a time. When you have him, however, you must remember to give him another squirt of shampoo and rub like crazy. He’ll then spring free and fall back into the water, thereby rinsing himself off. (The national record is–for cats–three latherings, so don’t expect too much.)
Next, the cat must be dried. Novice cat bathers always assume this part will be the most difficult, for humans generally are worn out at this point and the cat is just getting really determined. In fact, the drying is simple compared to what you have just been through. That’s because by now the cat is semi-permanently affixed to your right leg. You simply pop the drain plug with your foot, reach for your towel and wait. (Occasionally, however, the cat will end up clinging to the top of your army helmet. If this happens, the best thing you can do is to shake him loose and to encourage him toward your leg.) After all the water is drained from the tub, it is a simple matter to just reach down and dry the cat.
In a few days the cat will relax enough to be removed from your leg. He will usually have nothing to say for about three weeks and will spend a lot of time sitting with his back to you. He might even become psycho-ceramic and develop the fixed stare of a plaster figurine.
You will be tempted to assume he is angry. This isn’t usually the case. As a rule he is simply plotting ways to get through your defenses and injure you for life the next time you decide to give him a bath. But, at least now he smells a lot better.

I’m crying…………everyone at the office now think I have officially lost it……….that OK though……..
Back in 1995, my grandparents died of unrelated causes 5 days apart. It was decided to have one funeral for the both of them, in their hometown which was about 30 miles from where I lived then. I was in my senior year of college, and was already married and had two of my three kids. The day of the funeral just happened to be MLK day, so I didn’t have to worry about missing school, although I was concerned about missing a deadline for a project the next day because of family obligations.
Just before I left for the funeral that morning, I placed a call to my professor and left a message explaining my circumstances and requesting an extension. When we got home that evening, we found that our cat, Melveen, had cornered a lost puppy on the front porch. She also reeked of motor oil. My husband and I knew exactly what to do: he got the kids to bed while I locked myself in the kitchen with the animals and filled the sink with warm, sudsy water (I like to use baby shampoo) for poor Melveen. After the kids were tucked in, my husband came in to help. There I was, still in my mourning clothes, sleeves rolled up, up to my elbows in wet, angry cat (glaring and hissing at the canine intruder) when the phone rings. You guessed it–it was my professor. I didn’t dare relinquish my death-grip on the cat, but had to take the call, so my husband held the phone to my ear.
At this time I realized how ridiculous my situation was. Do you know how hard it is to explain to your teacher that you need a deadline extension due to not one, but two deaths in the family; all the while trying not to laugh at how you’re standing there, up to your elbows in wet, angry cat, phone held to your ear, with a cowering puppy that is not (yet) your own at your feet and trying not to laugh (at the risk of shooting your credibility straight to hell)? Believe me, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done!
Ginny!
Great story, have visual, more tears……don’t know how you pulled that off…….high five!!
Let me rephrase that, I’m sorry about your grandparents but the bathing cat, telephone held to ear by husband is quite amusing…
Good story Ginny. I’m laughing hysterically. Although, I am sorry about your grandparents.
Thanks, folks. It was hard then, but they were married for 58 years, lived long, and laughed often. My grandmother taught me everything I know about being strong and doing the right thing, and my grandfather taught me to make my words count and to appreciate a dry wit (his was Sahara-like). The “bad wit” you see from me so often on this site is the responsibility of my dad, who is 81 and STILL cracks me up!
But what about the puppy? Did you keep him? Inquiring minds want to know the rest of the story
Yes, we kept the dog and named her Pepper. Mom and Dad “inherited” her when we moved a year and a half later. I also got the extension and wound up somehow (I swear, I don’t know how) getting an A in the class. In fact, I got straight A’s that term, by the grace of God. It certainly wasn’t by my effort, for I couldn’t concentrate on anything then.
So sorry about your grandparents, Ginny. But the kitty bathing part is really funny. Cat ownership is full of occupational hazards.
This is so funny I have tears running down my face from laughing so hard. I do get some strange looks from co-workers when they walk by my office and I’m laughing hysterically.
What a great story, Mayra. It brought a smile to my face to think of what entails to bathe a cat. When I use to have to bathe poor Whiskers, she would literally meow like she was being tortured. It broke my heart but I had to do it because of the fleas a neighbors cat brought in when I was cat sitting their cat in my studio.
Thanks for the Welcome
Dee, good story at this website Re: Hanging Tree

Cool!
**Gray Wolf’s Howl Could Mean Incoming Call**
Environmental Group Offers Animal Ringtones
POSTED: 7:19 am PST February 28, 2007
An environmental group is offering free cell phone ringtones of more than 40 endangered and rare species.
The sound samples are available at RareEarthTones.org.
The co-founder of the Center for Biological Diversity, Peter Galvin, came up with the idea as a way to educate people, especially the younger, technologically savvy generation.
The ringtones include the howl of a Mexican gray wolf, the bellows of an Arctic beluga whale and the voices of several species of frogs and birds, including the blue-throated macaw, boreal owl, mountain yellow-legged frog and Yosemite toad.
The environmental group hopes that the more people hear these sounds, the more they’ll wonder where they came from and question the fate of the animals that make them.
“People really respond to the wildlife ringtones. The animal calls are fascinating, they personalize your phone and they sound cool when it rings,” Galvin said.
That’s neat! I have an “angry cat” ringtone.. It sounds like a catfight.
I love the looks I get when my phone rings!
Mine is a herd of cows mooooooooooooooing! I’m sure you can imagine the looks I get! My Dad likes to call when he knows I’m going somewhere after work. He’s so funny!!
My pharmacist has one on his cell phone just for his wife. No music, just a woman’s voice repeating “Honey, pick up the phone. It’s your wife.” Since she is the local Nurse Practitioner, she has frequent reason to call, and it cracks up the customers every time!
My son recorded our cat’s demanding ‘feed me now!!’ meow on my cell phone and set it up as my ring tone. I get kick out of watching people look for the cat in the grocery store.
π I would be one of those people looking around!
Sadly, this happened just a few miles away from me!
**Burglars Alert Sleeping Homeowner With Doorbell**
POSTED: 11:12 am PST February 28, 2007
BRANDON, Fla. — So much for stealth.
Authorities said a trio trying to open a locked door alerted a sleeping homeowner when one of them rang the doorbell.
Homeowner Samuel Sanchez, 35, confronted the burglars about 11:30 a.m. Monday. One of them was still trying to open the door with a pocket knife, Hillsborough County sheriff’s deputies said.
The men ran, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
Deputies arrived moments later and arrested three teen suspects, including one found hiding in a trash bin. They were all charged with attempted burglary.
That’s very sad Dee. We’re not and don’t even feel safe in our own homes anymore……at least these 3 were “dumb, dumb, dumb dumb”!!
My favorite “dumb criminal” story was on Paul Harvey a couple of years ago. Seems some punk teens broke into a vet clinic to steal OxyContin (a powerful painkiller). They didn’t read the labels closely enough, though, and stole OxyTocin instead. As anyone who is in the medical field or has had an overdue baby knows, OxyTocin is used to induce labor!
The one thing I never found out, however, is what happened to the MALES who shot it up!
The dumbest criminal story that I heard recently was of a man who stopped and filled out a ticket for some kind of raffle drawing while he was robbing a gas station. Unfortunately, the man put his real home address on the card. . .go figure!
I swear people have to take lessons to drive, lessons to graduate from any school but can go out and procreate willy nilly. I think if some of these kid’s IQ’s were a few points lower they would have to be watered along with the rose bushes.
Like I said Susan, you should be required to have an IQ and common sense test before being allow to have kids. Fail either one of them and *snip*
“NO KIDS FOR YOU!!”
I can imagine “No kids for you!” being said like the soup Nazi on Seinfeld. . .
Exactly! LOL
Instinct, your comments brings back fond memories of a project my sister had to do for an environmental class in college. It was supposed to be a fun and not necessarily serious way to solve an environmental problem. She chose overpopulation and actually made a “breeding license” using her own drivers license. It was hilarious and she definitely got an A for creativity!
I just heard on the news that the home of Tampa’s mayor was robbed today!
That’s great Amy Lou! I like the way your sister thinks π
Hey CatRancher, just ordered some pill pockets, should get them 2 to 3 days. I will let you know how they work out with my boy! Thank you so much for the great info……..

http://www.infinitecat.com/games/stack-cats.html
That was a cute game, Huddy’s Mama. I like to play “Super Granny” also. It is a game where granny goes around collecting her kitties and getting them back home while avoiding the gnomes. She has other obstacles that she has to avoid to get home with her kitties. It has great sound effects and comments.
Hi Renee, do you have the link to that? I’d like to play it.

Welcome to the TDK!- beautiful tabby by the way.

Big meow out to all TDKers!
I’ve read the Letter To My Pets and the dog and cat personality profiles before, but still enjoy seeing them again! I am here to serve Kelsie, 7 yrs old, Maizie, 8 mos and their dog Molly Margaret, about 4-5 yrs old. I’ve been lurking almost since the beginning – love the site, but probably won’t post too often.
Was it something I said? π
Probably….
π
With friends like you, who neeeds enemies?!?
Awwww…. That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me *sniff*
LOL π
Don’t let it go to your head!
ROFL π
I have to ask what the heck does ROFL stand for?
Rolling On the Floor Laughing
The full version (only to be used during the funniest moments – such as the “Killer Vorpal Rabbit” scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail) is
ROFLMAOSTC
Which means “Rolling On the Floor Laughing My A** Off and Scaring The Cat”
Monty Python….my friend’s husband has the “Holy Grail” almost memorized. He and I can go on ad nauseum with dialog from Monty Python. I grew up and grew “jaded” with their humor. ROFLOLUITU! I say “your mother’s a hamster and your father stinks of elderberrys” but in a loving way…..
Thank for clearing that up the first time a friend used lol I thought she was calling me a little old lady – rmember I am super geek.
I LOVE that movie! π
“Let’s not go to Camelot….’tis a silly place….”
I have loved reading all the notes on here but I am confused can anyone tell me how I can gage the time on this site. And the kitty is so cute and my husband is a big meanie because he won’t let me have one any more.
Oh, that’s ok… Husbands aren’t that hard to find! *ahem*
Oh Amy Lou thank God I wasn’t drinking anything when I read your comment or it would of come out of my nose.
I think you can just subract 6 hours from the time posted (in military time) and you’ll have it.
To figure the time you need to subtract 12 from the hours (it is listed in hours:minutes:seconds). So, the post that you put up at 21:33:50 would convert to 9:33:50 pm.
You should remember that this time is on Greenwhich mean time (I think) so it is not adjusting for you time zone
The times listed on the postings are Kittenmaster’s time in the UK.
OK, well, at least I got the rest of it right… π
Hi Sherrie, just a fyi – here in denver, MST, The kitten of the day posts at 8:07 am, so just adjust for your time zone – where ever you are….. π

Now some of those I would agree with, but definitely not all of them! And I checked out the artist list which this person named as the 50 worst. Celine Dion??? You may not like her music, but don’t ever tell me the woman doesn’t have a voice on her!!! And, as a piano player… no one can ever say that Yanni isn’t talented. That burns my biscuits!
My favorite rendition of this song is by the slugs in “Flushed Away”. π
Gorgeous Charlie
What a dude
Sometimes his gals
Must think he’s rude.
Charlie has a splendid coat
Silver and grey; ’tis fur of note
Due to his situation, he must be bold
But he’ll be the king
Even when he’s old.
I’m certain he’s a playful fellow
But has a side that’s clearly mellow.
Even his gals are known to say
Charlie, Charlie, don’t go away.
*applauds*
*standing ovation*
adorable and totally cute!
we should make a TDK group on catster with all uf us who are on there! I don’t know if there is already one, so I’m putting the idea out here!
Ginny, Instinct –
Nothing you said, Ginny, I’m just a poor typist/speller and not all that witty, like some of you. I love your comments and the interactions going on all of the time! About my babies: Kelsie was adopted free from the pet store and I assigned her Feb 28th as her birthday, so she is 7 today. Black with stripes on top, white on bottom, tan smudge on her upper lip. Maizie is orange like Codie from yesterday with half a tail. Manifested her one morning in the shower “You’ve never had an orange cat.” On the way to work, I asked myself “what would you name an orange cat? Maizie.” 3 hours later she walked in the door at work and I left with her and took her home. She was about 8 weeks old at the time. Molly Margaret was a rescue dog that a friend adopted and I used to be her sitter. She began spending more time with me than with her owner, and she was given to me last June. We are working out the dynamics of my expanded household, I think it just takes time to bring a new critter into a home and let them work out their acceptance of each other.
Hey Janet,
We don’t care if you’re witty or a poor typist… have you looked at any of my posts π
We just enjoy having you here and glad for the company.
I know what you mean about getting thing worked out. My wife and I combined my two cats with here two cats and boy wasn’t that fun…
We did the whole ‘seperate rooms’ thing and kept an eye on them, but of course there were the occasional fights and spats which for the most part my response was “Leave them alone and they’ll work it out”
I would only step in if it started going over the line and into something that would draw blood. Now, they have estalished the pecking order and favorite spots and everyone is happy
Again though, welcome π
Hi, Janet!
Once you get used to me (assuming you EVER do!) you’ll realize that when I begin to communicate, this strange combination of sarcasm, cynicism, and slapstick takes over. Believe me, I was being silly earlier π
Still, I’m glad the banter is keeping you posting! See, it’s not so bad, is it!
BTW, I grew up in NE GA, not too far from you!
and that combination is why I love you and your posts! I am just blown away by what I have read here today. I had to leave work at noon, and am now online at home. This site just becomes more and more awesome everyday. Considering the literature, the quotes, the humor, the recipes and the empathy. etc, that comes forth from this site….we have something unique and exciting. I am thrilled to be a part of this community. It reminds me of my “coffeehouse” days as a college student. Ideas, exchange, growth…DAMN…I love it!
Wow, with your powers to manifest try to think of world peace or if that doesn’t work see yourself winning the Lottery!
Instinct –
Thanks for the welcome! I tried to put my location but it doesn’t show. I’m in Ellijay GA, about 80 miles north of Atlanta. I know where Kennesaw is, people here use the hospital down there.
Welcome almost neighbor. A friend and I are planning a two day trip to Helen and the surrounding area to see the Cherokee sights and the place where the Trail of Tears started. That is up your way isn’t it? My sence of direction is so bad I could get lost in a phone booth with a map to the door that is one of the many reasons I don’t drive I am just balast to keep the passenger side of the car from flipping up. According to a gospel song when Jesus comes back He will split the Eastern sky I just know I’ll be looking the wrong way and miss it.
Susan…as a little bit Cherokee AND directionally dysfunctional, I am very interested in your trip to see the Trail of Tears origin. Please share details. I have read much about that journey… the American equivalent (I think) to the death march of Natzi Germany. Please let me know about this. I would be VERY interested in in taking this trek! EAST? East is relative with my inner compass.. that is so funny!
Type in Helen, GA in your search line the site will come on. They have tons of stuff on there I hit the history line first as that is my passion since I read Bruce Canton’s book in 7th grade.
Crazy Petey jumped up on the computer slide out tray and sat on the keyboard wow his fuzzy little butt can scroll fast.
Susan –
There is a starting place in Ellijay for the Trail of Tears, marked by a plaque, arcoss hwy 515 from the Hardee’s. I think there were many round-up places, then the Cherokees were pushed along and joined into a larger and larger group. I’m not too far from the start of the Appalachian Trail, the Benton McKay(sp) Trail. About an hour away is the New Echota Mounds, home of the Cherokee nation, with a reconstructed village and lots of info about the Cherokee government and alphabet, etc. Also the Chief Vann House is interesting. Both are State maintained, tours available. I have a fair sense of direction, but love getting lost – find lots of interesting stuff that way!
I’m sure you will enjoy tha area, especially if you come in the fall when the leaves are turning. If you like festivals, we have the Apple Festival in Ellijay, 2nd and3rd weekends in October and Jasper (south of us) has a Marble Festival at the same time. I, for one, do my best to avoid both. Way too many things to tempt me to spend money!
We were thinking about October as that is my favorite month the colours and it finally cools off some. Thank you for the info on festivals my friend isn’t much on traffic as she grew up in NE a town of 900. It spooked her when she moved to Augusta so many cars and trees she became claustophobic.
WELLwith posting so late i hope that everyone gets to read it as i have to thank a lot of you and need links from the other lot of you .To keltickitty thank you for your comment about my comment yesterday,or was it about my kitts (a little alzheimers here),to Olivie’s mom,Paige,your baby is so precious,i just want to snuggle with her.to Karin,from Sf.Cacan you put a link to slyvester would love to see him,and lastly to Tiger in Ca.,Charlie is the same as my long since passed destiny,he was like my shadow where i went he had to go and what i ate he had to eat .He even ate of a fork and had his own plate of food at the table ,but of course Ihad to feed him couldn’t teach him how to hold his own spoon or fork.H also spoke actual words but bieng deaf no swound came out just formed the words with his lips Itaught him this by my pressing my lips to his and repeating the word I was teaching him over and over till he said it himself,by moving his lips and grinding his back teeth.The thing he said were ,I want down(when he was tired of being held),I want more please,I love you,and Ma ma.Iswear that his has been reborn in my Oriental shorthair ,Piwacket(yes from the movie Bell,Book,and Candle)as he is does the same things even down to eating any veggie that I eat just like Destiny did,with the exception that Pi is not deaf and has a good set of lungs on him and he hollors like we are killing him if he can’t be with us like when i have a lot of people comming in and out,or I’m expecting a delivery.Don’t want him to get out and get hurt or killed.well that’s all for now thanks for looking at my post hopefully.
