diane: okay, the scale thing is hysterical. what’s with all these vain cats?!
jess: clearly he and i watched the same cartoons growing up… looking forward to hanging out as well!
roy: you have it backwards – my cats are getting funnier, and i’m getting weirder.
karen: OMG – a sledgehammer? fortunately i’ve not had to cross that line yet! and thanks – i have a canon digital rebel xt, and could not be more in love – it’s soooo great! canon just came out with a new version of the rebel a month or so ago, but haven’t heard any reviews on the new one.

As a cat owner, i totally understand. The cat I had as a teenager once got into the ceiling through a gap in some basement drywall, fell down between a corner and a door jam, and stayed there for 3 days before anyone found her (with the help of a sledgehammer, we got her out…dehydrated and hungry and really needing to pee, but otherwise fine.) Same cat got out once and came up the driveway dragging her hind end, paralyzed from her kitty waist down. An overnight at the ER vet, and she was fine, with no explanation.
The cat I have now? Sneeze too hard while she’s in the room, and she’ll probably poop out of fear.
BTW, amazing, beautiful pictures of the cats. What kind of camera are you using (not that it’s the camera and not the lovely cats)? I’m in the market for Digital SLR.

I don’t know if you’re getting funnier or your cats are getting weirder.

Read this post out loud to my husband twenty minutes ago……he’s STILL laughing.
His favorite line?
“Play the fishbone xylophone like normal cats do”
Suffice it to say that he can’t wait to meet you next month.

Awwww. Podo. I am glad your kitty is okay.
I have the same issues with my Bastet. She eats freakin’ EVERYTHING. She has chewed up so many plastic bags and I am constantly worried she has a bowel obstruction. One night, she started puking at 11:00 the night before I had to be downtown for a meeting REALLY early. I was half cursing/half crying over her. Then suddenly an hour later she stopped. Poof. All was fine.
I think she’s just got an eating disorder. She climbs up and sits on the scale all the time–no joke!

heather anne: I like it – Four Fiddy! Makes her sound kinda gangsta. And yes, I know what you mean about Podo. She sits like that every morning and stares right in my face until I wake up and feed her. It kind of freaks me out…
Jess: I can’t believe you almost got my cats hauled off to foster care! And I’m pretty sure it was only Kodo who hissed at you.
sween: Yours do that, too? My male cat – the one who is able to digest the undigestible – ate half of this dangly cat toy, and it was made out of fleece. FLEECE!!! My teeth hurt just thinking of chewing on that!

Reminds me of the time the Large One ate two feet of a dangly cat toy. Good times.

Thank God I finished reading this post…as soon as I saw the words “fractured pelvis”, I nearly picked up the phone to dial Cat Protective Services on you (sure, we’re friends but I can’t allow innocent kitties to be abused…even those that nearly eat my face off when I pick them up).

I rescued my cat, Nala, from the woods behind my office. It cost me $450 in vet bills to bring her home. Some days, when she’s being a brat, I call her Four Fiddy. She straightens right up.
Also, I can’t look Podo straight in the eyes. It unsettles me.
