Speaking of rubber bands....
I ordered some shoes and when they arrived there were big rubber bands
wrapped around the shoe-boxes, crosswise and lengthwise, to keep the lids on in transit. I checked to make sure the shoes fit, then put them back in the boxes and put the rubber bands around them again. Stacked the boxes in my bedroom. I'm sitting in the living room when suddenly here comes Persia, pulling one of the boxes of shoes into the living room by the rubber bands! I nearly fell off the couch!! Goofy cat Jill |

"jmcquown" had some very interesting things
to say about Speaking of rubber bands....: I wish I'd had my digital camera handy! Unfortunately, whenever she does something totally cute like this, the battery is in the charger and the camera doesn't have a diskette in it (sigh). You're just going to have to start keeping a diskette in the camera and get a second battery so you can swap them as needed. :-) -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |

I'm new to the group, and please do not think I am flaming you as that is
not my intention. Just a word of warning - not sure if your cats are "chewers" but a few of mine are. I've caught one on more than one occassion chowing down on a rubber band. There are other times I didn't catch him and he luckily vomitted the band up. Then there was the time he somehow at the plastic safety seal off of something - that time required two exploratory surgeries and a feeding tube! Please just be careful so the same doesn't happen!

I kept a couple of stuffed animals on the window ledge in the Babies
room,[ I used to foster them] Wilson decided if the babies weren't using them any more he would lay claim to his choice,he kept getting it off the ledge and bringing into the lounge, every time I replaced it It would appear in the lounge again, I gave up in the and put it with his other toys since when he's never bothered with it, I guess its now where he wanted it to be.

Thanks for the welcome. My "children" consist of 3 dogs and 7 cats. Lost
my oldest two recently, one in July, one a few weeks ago. When I lost my buddy (Tyrone) in July I started fostering for local shelters, my cat population grew as well. Went from four to seven. The one that ate the safety seal was named Z. Cat ate everything, he was a big boy - 22 pounds, favorite food was cantalope. He also had a nack for chewing things he shouldn't have - shoelaces, yarn, rubber bands and the infamous safety seal. He was a giant lapcat. I miss him and Tyrone, although the new additions do keep my mind occupied. Currently fostering a mother that just gave birth on Thursday. Four tiny little babies. I just started my own website. It's still a work in progress and don't have everyone's pictures added yet. Plan to add three more pages to what's there. I started it for my fosters - hoping people from my area will see it and be interested in adopting one. Of course I had to add my own as well Please feel free to visit JoJo http://home.comcast.net/~zookeepr/fosters.html "Tanada" wrote in message k.net...
