A Word With Whiskers – May 23 5 Tips for a Slimmer, Healthier Cat – (petmd.com) ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ Being a fat cat might seem cute, but it’s really not good for your feline’s health. If your kitty is a little chubby or beginning to look that way, we have some simple tips to guarantee a slender, healthier version in no time. And best of all, if you keep following these tips, you won't have to spend the big bucks it takes to feed a fat cat! 1. Diets Are Not All Equal The cat is a strict carnivore. That means a diet mainly consisting of "fillers" (e.g., corn and rice), is just empty calories for kitty. Do a little light reading during your shopping expedition, and start paying attention to the cat food labels. Meat should always be one of the first ingredients. Better quality food means less filler and that means a more svelte cat. 2. Wet vs. Dry Debate Some people swear by dry food, while others won’t touch it. Ultimately the choice is up to you, but you’ll find more and more experts are leaning towards the wet food end of the argument. Less filler, more water content, and a happier, thinner cat can all be yours. 3. Portion Control Try not to "free feed" the cat. If the food is left out all day for the kitty to help herself to, then she’ll snack whenever she feels like it -- even when she’s not hungry. Engage the hunter instinct. Leave the food for 15 minutes. If there’s still food in the bowl, put it away in the fridge for dinnertime. 4. Exercise Play with your cat! Get her to run around and chase string, toy mice, laser lights (cats love them!), balls, and other fun toys. We don’t recommend taking kitty for walks unless she’s the type who enjoys it, though. But just 20 minutes of play a day can make up for it. Not only will this keep kitty from being bored and depressed, but it keeps her mind sharp. 5. No Table Scraps People food is for people, not cats! Those little morsels are similar to us scarfing down a pizza. So, curtail table scraps from your cat's diet, and those treats designed for cats down to a minimum. But if Princess absolutely cannot go without her treats, try to find healthy options in the natural or holistic section of your pet store. So there you have it. 5 simple tips to keep your cat in tip-top shape. ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ Did someone say simple?! Okay, now drop and give me 50 push-ups! MOL!

A Word With Whiskers – May 22 MIDNIGHT & STAY AWHILE – by A. Knight ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ “Molly’s cat died,” said Denise’s tearful voice on the phone. “Midnight was hit by a car.” Molly, Denise & I had been friends for 10 years & we all loved Midnight. Denise explained Midnight had somehow gotten out of Molly’s house & a car had hit him. A neighbor had found Midnight, put him in a box & taken him to Molly. Molly & Midnight had been together for 18 years. My own cat had recently died from old age & I was crushed. “Let’s go to her house & have a little funeral service,” I suggested. “I’ll pick up flowers & make a little cross with Midnight’s name on it.” We decided to meet at Molly’s house. I stopped by the flower shop to pick up a bouquet of daises. There was a pet store on the way & I thought they might have an appropriate sympathy card. In the shop was a small gray & black kitten in a cage. It was too soon to get Molly a kitten. You can’t just replace one cat with another as if it were a broken dish. Not yet. The kitten tried to climb over his cage to reach me & did a back flip, making me laugh. “He’s cute, isn’t he? I don’t know why no one has bought him yet,” the storeowner said. “I guess he is going to stay awhile.” “Stay Awhile.” I smiled. He had just been named. “I’ll buy him & the cat carrier too.” If Molly didn’t want a kitten, I would keep him. As I drove to Molly’s, the kitten meowed loudly. “Be quiet, Stay Awhile, you’re going to mend a broken heart today,” I said, hoping Molly would accept the kitten. Denise & Molly were waiting for me. “Molly, I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I saw this kitten & couldn’t help myself. I know he can’t replace Midnight, but if you don’t want him, I’ll keep him. His name is Stay Awhile,” I said. “Stay Awhile? What a silly, delightful name!” She kissed the kitten’s nose. “Of course I’ll keep him. I couldn’t bear one night not having a cat in the house.” “We should probably-you know-bury Midnight now,” Denise said. We solemnly dug a grave in the garden & gently placed the box in, covered it up & placed the flowers & little wooden cross into the earth. Suddenly, a cat leaped over the fence & landed at our feet. “MIDNIGHT!” we all screamed. Molly grabbed the black cat & lifted him up. “It’s Midnight!” She burst into tears of joy. “Molly, didn’t you look into the box the neighbor gave you?” Molly replied, “No, I couldn’t stand to see Midnight dead!” We all laughed hysterically. Some poor stray cat just had a 1st class funeral! I was thrilled I could keep the kitten! A day that started with tears ended in laughter, thanks to a cat who came to his own funeral & a kitten named Stay Awhile. I bought Stay Awhile to help heal Molly’s broken heart, but instead he healed mine! ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ ^~^ Vote COTM QUEEN SPUNKY #161265 ^~^ ~CONCATULATIONS to our ACOTD Angel Gypsy #114577~ ^~^ Visit CMR #46883 for daily mews ^~^ I left a vote with purrs & hugs.Come visit me, Whiskers ♥ Talley * VOTE FOR WHISKERS HERE! & saved blogs.

A Word With Whiskers – May 21 Top Reasons To Keep Cats Indoors – Part 2 (from cats.about.com) ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ Next to declawing, the indoor-outdoor question is probably one of the hottest topics for debate, with both sides polarized to their own views. For those holdouts for letting cats roam free, consider more top reasons to keep cats indoors. • Indoor Cats Do Not Get Hit by Cars. According to one source, more cats are killed by cars annually than are euthanized in U.S. animal shelters. • Indoor Cats Are not a Danger to Wildlife. Let's face it; cats are predators, & left to their own devices outdoors, will eventually chase & kill birds, rabbits, & other small wildlife. Most of us would rather not see our cats cast in a killer role, & keeping them indoors will help protect wildlife to some degree. • Indoor Cats Don't Get Lost. As outdoor cats widen their outdoor territories, they may become lost long enough to be "rescued" by other cat lovers, legitimate rescue groups, or picked up by animal control as strays. Statistics show that of "owned" cats turned in to shelters, only three percent are eventually relocated with their owners. Collars can break, & even microchips do not guarantee a cat will not be adopted & kept as an indoor cat by someone else. Why take the chance? • Indoor Cats Are Not Stolen. “Bunchers” are people who sell cats to laboratories for animal experimentation or research. Their prime source of cats is on the street. Even a cat sitting on his front lawn is fair game for a buncher. Other people pick up cats for use as "bait" for training fighting dogs. Both categories of cat-knappers are the lowest of the low, but they are out there. • Rarely mentioned, but equally serious, is the possibility of skin cancer from over-exposure to the sun. White & other light-colored cats can develop squamous cell carcinoma, a serious, painful disease. I don't believe in wholesale statements beginning with, "If you love your cat, you'll do this & that for them." We humans feel different degrees of love for our cats & express our love in different ways. My stance on the indoor-outdoor issue is not "proof" one way or another of loving my cat more than the next guy, nor did my previous belief that cats deserve to be outdoors label me as a "bad" cat owner. However, I do believe in personal responsibility for our decisions, & ultimately, our decisions may cost us the loss of a very good friend & family member. It's a matter of weighing the benefits against the risks, & being willing to suffer the consequences of our decisions. ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ Remember that an indoor cat is always safer. ^~^ Vote daily COTM QUEEN SPUNKY #161265 ^~^ Please keep her family in your prayers as they mourn the loss of beloved GM. ~ CONCATULATIONS to our COTD Rosie #252822~ **Our prayers go out to victims of the recent tornadoes.** ^~^ Please visit CMR #46883 for daily mews ^~^ I left a vote with purrs & hugs.Come visit me, Whiskers ♥ Talley * VOTE FOR WHISKERS HERE! & saved blogs.

now that sounds ideal seeing we've warmed into the lower to mid 80s and have turned humid here good enough for janet to get the waterslide out and us to enjoy it between games. the garage/breezeway are ready in case a boomer pops up so we'll stay dry. janet's been at this since getting home from walking pepper around 5:30 and gotten the other one done, but likely not this one takes to long. got netting to put out over her garden fenced in one that is. sandy,ana,haley,angelsCome visit me, ana, haley, malachi is my boyfriend! whiskerscotm & sandy, angels, vote whiskers cotm!.

A Word With Whiskers – May 20 Top Reasons To Keep Cats Indoors – Part 1 (from cats.about.com) ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ Many cat lovers are now savvy that indoor cats are safer cats, while others still think that cats deserve freedom to run in the great outdoors. When humans domesticated cats, we took on the responsibility for their health & welfare. Part of that responsibility is to keep cats safe & in good health. For those holdouts for letting cats roam free, consider these top reasons to keep cats indoors. • To Monitor Your Cat’s Urinary Tract/Bowel Health. With an outdoor cat, pet owners are unable to monitor painful attempts to urinate or poop. The first, a red flag warning for UTI or urinary tract blockage; the second, a red flag for constipation, bowel blockage or mega-colon. • Indoor Cats Are Safe From Predators & Dog Packs. Outdoor cats are below predators in the food chain, & they are sitting ducks for owls, raptors, coyotes, & native big cats. Dogs running in packs will consider a cat fair game; even one large dog can easily overpower & kill a cat. Remember that some dogs are also bred to attack; they are not really to blame when their instinct takes over. Even with a full set of fangs & claws, the cat rarely has a chance when caught outside. • Indoor Cats Don't Create Neighbor Problems. Even "well-bred" cats will venture into neighbors' yards when allowed to roam free. People who don't like cats will not tolerate cats using their gardens as litter boxes, & will sometimes resort to extreme measures to keep the cats out. • Indoor Cats Rarely Get Abscesses From Fighting. Cats are very territorial & will defend their territory to the death, if challenged by another cat. At the very least, these territorial battles often result in abscessed wounds, which can be deadly if not treated in time. There's also the chance, of course, of cats contracting FIV from deep bite wounds. • Indoor Cats Are Safe From Human Abuse. Freely-roaming cats are easy targets for gangs of youths with time on their hands, for cat-haters, who seek cats out for target practice, & for neighbors who would think nothing of killing a cat for trespassing on their property. Although animal protection laws are beefing up, prosecution will never bring a loved cat back to life. • Indoor Cats Can Get Plenty of Exercise. Cats do get exercise, but they can get it safely with interactive toys, climbing towers, scratching posts, & other indoor toys; all much safer than running from dogs or fighting with other cats. Remember also that there are safe compromises for the outdoor experience. ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ To be cat-tinued tomorrow… ^~^ Vote daily COTM QUEEN SPUNKY #161265 ^~^ Please keep her Mom & family in your prayers as they mourn the loss of beloved GM. ~ CONCATULATIONS to our ACOTD Chumley #192486~ **Vote ~ROSIE #252822~ for COTD tomorrow!** ^~^ Please visit CMR #46883 for daily mews ^~^ Thanks for your support!

Please vote Rosie #252822 for COTD on Monday, 5/20 Recently a cat loving family had their red female cat, Angel Rhuby cross over the Rainbow Bridge. The cat mom of this family decided she would like to adopt another red female and as luck would have it, there was Rosie at the Petsmart Adoption Center. Rosie #252822 and her new mom bonded instantly and Rosie came to her new home that day. Rosie was at the shelter for over two months and was a bit wild. She didn't like being kept in a cage and would fight with the shelter workers when they tried to put her back in her cage. This was a big reason why Rosie #252822 wasn't adopted sooner; she was scared and the people looking at her were not patient with her until her new mom came along. Now at her new home Rosie #252822 is a cuddle cat with her daddy and loves to play with her brother Yogi. She gets along with the rest of her furry siblings and is a happy cat. Rosie #252822 will not eat dry food but she will eat any kind of wet food. She doesn't like dry treats either! Rosie loves to play with her furry mouse and the laser light. Rosie #252822 is happily spoiled now in her new home and we are very happy she has found a wonderful loving home. Rosie would be so honored to have a COTD badge to display on her page. Please visit Rosie #252822 on Monday, 5/20, and leave a vote for her so she can proudly have her own shiny COTD badge. While making the rounds of visits on the CC, please go visit our May catpaigner for COTM, Whiskers #227256, and give his votey button a good whack so he can add your vote to his collection to become our King of June. Also, please visit our Queen of May, Queen Spunky #161265, and let her know we are all thinking of her and her family. This is Sienna and family along with Linguini and family leaving each of you a big bouquet of May wildflowers along with some homegrown catnip to munch on instead of the flowers. Thank you for supporting our COTD candidates. Wishing you all peace and love and purrsCome visit me, Sienna - Vote Whiskers #227256 for COTM, Winslow ♥ Boo Kitty- Whiskers 227256 COTM & Alexi - Vote Whiskers #227256 for COTM.

A Word With Whiskers – May 19 6 TAX DEDUCTIONS YOUR CATS CAN CLAIM FOR NEXT YEAR - (from catster.com) ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ Cats love to take advantage of anything that might work in their favor. What if they could file taxes and claim deductions? You better believe they'd be all over that. What exactly would they claim? We've got some ideas. 1. Therapy deduction - Cats should be able to claim monies paid for any therapy occurring as a result of having to wear silly outfits. The deductions would substantially increase for those felines whose shame is shared via social media outlets. In case of an audit, they must save all receipts and screenshots of photos shared online. 2. Energy-savings deduction - Masters at conserving energy, cats would get to reap the benefits of helping save the planet. They'd log their sleep hours and, using a specialized formula, claim accordingly. There would also be a unique tax credit for cats who log a certain number of hours while lying in a sun puddle. It would be called the Solar Cat Tax Credit. 3. Charitable donations deduction - Kitties are excellent gift givers. They drop toys into our empty shoes, leave expired creatures at the back door, and greet our bare morning feet with cold piles of vomity hairballs. It's about time they received credit for those charitable donations! 4. Casualty deduction - Unfortunately, cats must deal with a multitude of casualties each year, primarily lost toys. Balls are batted under the refrigerator, cloth mice are drowned in the water bowl, and feathered birdies are ripped to shreds. Mourning the loss of vanished toys is tough, but the load can feel a lot lighter when they can write those losses off and experience true closure. 5. Entertainment deduction - It takes a lot of energy to entertain humans. Cats subject themselves to a fair amount of embarrassment in order to please the human with the can opener. As a way to help them feel their hours of performing for humans are not in vain, an entertainment deduction would be available to kitties. 6. Paid interest deduction - Sometimes cats just want to sleep, birdwatch, or curl up and stare at a bug on the screen door. However, humans may have other ideas: "Kitty, kitty! Come sit on my lap!" The human is the bringer of the food, and so cats sometimes placate her whims. They really should receive credit for showing interest when really they'd rather flick their tail and go back to sleep. And most times, they do just that -- some deductions just aren't worth it. ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ I hope you enjoyed today’s playful purring! ^~^ Vote daily COTM QUEEN SPUNKY #161265 ^~^ Please keep her Mom & family in your prayers as they mourn the loss of beloved GM. ~CONCATULATIONS to our COTD Wally #59966~ ^~^ Please visit CMR #46883 for daily mews ^~^ Thanks for your support!

A Word With Whiskers – May 18 Heaven Is... ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ A man was riding his horse down a road, cat in his arms & his dog by their side. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, & that his horse, cat & dog had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stonewall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, was a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. Standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch, made from mother of pearl, & the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He nudged the horse toward the gate, & as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk. Once close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?" "This is heaven, sir," the man answered. "Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked. "Of course, sir. Come right in, & I'll have some ice water brought right up." The man gestured, & the gate began to open. "Can my furiends," gesturing downward towards his horse, cat & dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked. "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept animals." The man thought a moment & then turned his horse & dog back toward the road, cat in his arms & continued the way he had been going. At the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree & reading a book. "Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?" "Sure, there's a pump over there" The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in." "How about my furiends here?" the traveler asked. "There should be a bowl & a bucket by the pump." They went through the gate, & sure enough, there was an old hand pump with a bowl & a bucket beside it. The traveler filled the bowl & took a long drink himself, then gave some to his cat & dog while he filled the bucket for his horse. When they all were satisfied, he led his furiends back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them. "What do you call this place?" the traveler asked. "This is heaven," was the answer. "Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was heaven, too." "Oh, you mean the place with the gold street & pearly gates? Nope. That's hell." "Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?" "No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they screen out the folks who’d leave their best furiends behind." ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ ^~^ Vote daily COTM QUEEN SPUNKY #161265 ^~^ Please keep her Mom & family in your prayers as they mourn the loss of beloved GM. ~CONCATULATIONS to our ACOTD Angel Crash #248838~ ^~^ Please visit CMR #46883 for daily mews ^~^ Thanks for your support!

Hi Jynxx, I'm strutting my stuff today.. Mom is in hiding and embarassed to say she gave up and surrendered...It happened like this... Mom had a basket of towels fresh from the dryer and was taking them upstairs, then coming back down to do her pilates.. All the sudden there was utter choas as a bird had somehow gotten in and going nuts banging and hitting the window trying to get out..Mom was trying to get it to go to the door, the ceilings are low and it's flapping to close to her person so she goes upstairs for Dad, meanwhile I am having the time of my life chashing a real bird inside my domain...Zachary is now in on the game but I got it first... Mom wonders if it died from being scared to death....I am the mighty huntress MOL!!! Mom did see the post on FB.

woke up to a cloud/clear sky mix as predicted and it'll gradually give over tonight to all cloudy skies for the next week almost with peeks of sun from time to time and turning more humid too. not good for janet as it'll be harder for her to breathe with the sinus-allergy bug she's got and despite meds she says she'll be ready for the bed by noontime seeing it zaps energy by noontime of whoever gets it! sandy,ana,haley,angelsCome visit me, ana, haley, malachi is my boyfriend! whiskerscotm & sandy, angels, vote whiskers cotm!.

A Word With Whiskers – May 17 Peas in a Pod - by Sue Young ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ I’ll never be sure if it was wisdom or folly that struck that day, but I would think a little of both. We had been happily living with one cat for a couple of years, a fairly large black-&-white English Shorthair named Smedley. It was time for his annual exam & shots, so off we went to our local veterinarian’s office, puss in hand, or actually wrapped like up like an Egyptian mummy to save us from his dreaded claws. “Ah!” Doc Pete said, with a twinkle in his eyes. “I’m glad you dropped in. I have a kitten out back that needs a home & I thought of you!” Before I could stop him, his assistant brought out the tiniest marmalade tabby, weighing just over a pound, with a cast on his left front leg. He put him in my arms, looked up at me & said, “So what do you think?” They say a sucker is born every minute & that was my minute. We took one look at the poor little thing & then at each other & we were done for. We found out that someone had broken his leg & tried to drown him in the nearest canal. A Good Samaritan had rescued him & brought him to the vet’s office. “How will they get along?” I asked. “How do we go about introducing them to each other?” “Oh, that’s no problem,” he said. “You just put him in a carrier, take him home, leave the carrier open & let Smedley think he is rescuing the kitten.” Well, it sounded good. As per instruction, once we got home, we left the kitten in the carrier in the middle of the room. Then we sat back to watch. Smedley circled the box & growled deeper than I had ever heard him before. The kitten mewed plaintively while sticking a paw out of the holes in the side of the carrier. After about an hour, we decided to open the top of the carrier a little wider. Smedley walked up to the top, looked inside & was rewarded by a lightning strike from a small orange paw. That was the last we saw of him that evening. I was convinced that the next morning would find us back at the vet’s office returning the little tyke. However, the next morning, we were in for a surprise. As I got up to put on the coffee, I saw the two of them curled up together on the sofa as if they were one cat with two smiling faces. From then on, Smedley watched over the little one as if he had given birth to him, and they went everywhere together. Doc Pete was right! ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ Cats are intuitive and can teach us to be gentle & patient. ^~^ Vote daily COTM QUEEN SPUNKY #161265 ^~^ Please keep her Mom & family in your prayers as they mourn the loss of beloved GM. ~ CONCATULATIONS to our COTD Princess’s maia & lia #163485~ **Vote ~ANGEL CRASH #248838~ for ACOTD tomorrow!** ^~^ Please visit CMR #46883 for daily mews ^~^ Thanks for your support to my catpaign!

Hi Jynxx, We are looking fo more showers through the weekend. Mom is sitting on the back porch with me enjoying the birds and doing my mail. We are waiting for the sun to warm us up... Down in the yard are our 3 angel girls, Maggie, Sadie & Monica. Mom got me when she lost Sadie to renal failure at age 16. She was a black Persian too. Mom often has her morning coffee with the Angels. Maggie was a seal point himmie like Abigail Shyla, they were sisters, Maggie was mom's favorite kitty ever, she went on Mother's Day four months after Sadie did. Zachary & I got to meet her briefly before she went. Monica has been gone 2 yrs and she ruled the roost back in the day. We lost her at 14 to cancer. Mom still misses them... Have a great weekend and hope there's a show to enter. Zoe MoniqueCome visit me, D.

Hi Jynxx, I know what Mom means about freezing, Mom has a stack of jeans & sweaters, and some shorts out. cause it has been cold for so long. Today was gorgeous, 90 degrees and the wind blew all day long, Mom worked in the basement cleaning, planted a few flowers and worked on cleaning off the porch. She wonders what the wind is blowing in. Game day was fun, we even won a few. Zoe MoniqueCome visit me, D.

A Word With Whiskers – May 15 CAT FUNNIES :) - Volume 1 ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ A Cat Heaven - ===================================== One day a cat dies of natural causes and goes to Heaven. There he meets the Lord himself. The Lord says to the cat, "You lived a good life and if there is any way I can make your stay in Heaven more comfortable, please let Me know." The cat thinks for a moment and says, "Lord, all my life I have lived with a poor family and had to sleep on a hard wooden floor." The Lord stops the cat and says, "Say no more," and a wonderful fluffy pillow appears. A few days later six mice are killed in a tragic farming accident and go to Heaven. Again the Lord is there to greet them with the same offer. The mice answer, "All of our lives we have been chased. We have had to run from cats, dogs, and even women with brooms. Running, running, running; we're tired of running. Do you think we could have roller skates so we don't have to run anymore?" The Lord says, "Say no more," and fits each mouse with beautiful new roller skates. About a week later the Lord stops by to see the cat and finds him in a deep sleep on the pillow. The Lord gently wakes the cat and asks him, "How are things since you arrived?" The cat stretches and yawns and replies, "It is wonderful here. Better than I could have ever expected. And those Meals on Wheels you've been sending by are theeeeeeee best!!!" The Cat Scan – ===================================== A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments, tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead. The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion. The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too." The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "$350." "$350 to tell me my dog is dead?!" exclaims the man. "Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $300 was for the cat scan." ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ I hope I put smiles on your faces today! ^~^ Vote daily COTM QUEEN SPUNKY #161265 ^~^ Please keep her Mom & family in your prayers as they mourn the loss of beloved GM. ~A BIG CONCATULATIONS to our COTD Cashmere #61835~ ^~^ Please visit CMR #46883 for daily mews ^~^ Thanks for your support to my catpaign!

Hi Jynxx, mother's day is kind of a big splurge on mom because we can't afford to do it too often but that's ok with mom. just like your pawrents mom says as long as she has dad and us, she's a happy woman. our pawrents have been together a long time too. first they dated for 6 years and this year will be their 34th wedding anniversary. btw, we think that the car meet and McDonalds is a purrfect "i love you" date :) headbonks and purrs, Lollapalooza LiLiCome visit me, Add-A-Line, Blondie, Puzzle & Lollapalooza LiLi.

A Word With Whiskers – May 14 Ugly the Cat – author unknown ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and shall we say, love. The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. He had only one eye, he was missing an ear and his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, healing at an irregular angle. His tail was gone, leaving a small stub & he was covered with scabs. Humans reacted when they saw him with, “That’s one UGLY cat!” All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around feet in forgiveness. If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find. One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor’s huskies. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. From my home I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end. As I picked him up to carry him home, I could hear him wheezing and gasping. I must be hurting him terribly I thought. Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear- Ugly, in so much pain & suffering was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head. Then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring. Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled-scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion. At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Ugly just looked up at me, completely trusting in me to relieve his pain. Ugly died, nestled in my arms. I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray, could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, beautiful; but for me, I will always try to be Ugly. ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^ All living creatures deserve our love & compassion. ^~^ Vote daily COTM QUEEN SPUNKY #161265 ^~^ Please keep her Mom & family in your thoughts & prayers as they mourn the loss of beloved GM. ~A BIG CONCATULATIONS to our COTD Gypsy & The Inside Cats #255012~ ^~^ Please visit CMR #46883 for daily mews ^~^ Thanks for your support to my catpaign!

Hi Jynxx, Sorry mom was feeling bad but I know you enjoyed having her at home to snuggle with. My mom has been feeling bad too, BP is way up and she is going... Here We Go Again mom does this all the time, BP meds just don't work for her for long, so we change them often. Mom has an appointment soon so I guess we get to pla switch the meds.. Mom has extra medication on hand for emergencys so she can keep it at a safe reading. We had to turn the heat on the past few nights, 75 today when the sun burns off the fog, 90 tomorrow and summer is on... I would be happy to go to Sandy's with you. Zoe MoniqueCome visit me, D.

what a surprise! so glad that our mom's have Mother's Day for us to show how much we appreciate them and i was expecting the same routine as last Mother's Day and sure enough dad came out of the bedroom carrying a big basket . yep, there was the 3 dozen carnations (mom's favorite flower) from us kitties, and there was the card, box of chocolates, and bottle of mom's favorite Asti Spumante. ok, excitement was over. no, i was wrong............. mom was laughing as she was pulling something else out of the basket. i couldn't believe it! i blinked and rubbed my eyes and looked again. it was cans of tuna and a big bag of greenies!!!! Woooooooo Hoooooooooo, that was the best Mother's Day, ever!!! headbonks and purrs, Lollapalooza LiLiCome visit me, Add-A-Line, Blondie, Puzzle & Lollapalooza LiLi.
