Speaking of rubber bands....

I have another picture of Izzy and Tiny, but Tiny is laying across her
face so you can't see her. He is in love with her, he was snuggled up
against her last nite. Every time they do that "perfect kodak moment" as
soon as I move to get the camera, they move!

Tiny Shorty is a hoot, if there's trouble to be found, he's at the center
of it. That's why he's getting his own website. His favorite game - he
waits until you are standing, gets behind you and jumps right up onto my
back. Let me tell you, I can tell when his claws need trimmed! LOL

Terrific site! I like the picture of the string of tiny black
furries. Your other pets are also very cute. It's hard to pick a
favorite, but Izzy and Tiny Shorty together is a hoot.

Once they get up around 10 pounds, it's not that funny anymore.

Thank you for the welcome

I never intentionally let mine eat things either, but they seem to find
things without my knowing. I was sick over the whole incident with Z eating
the safety seal, I thought I was going to lose him over it (sadly old age
and other health issues got him last week).

I do let mine play with elastic hair bands - they love to chase them
through the house, I had a handful of them, now I can't find a single one.
And none of the cats eat them thankfully. I even include them in my
foster care packages - wonder what the new owners think the hair band is
for?

Tiny Shorty is the king of missed Kodak moments! Sometimes I wish I could
freeze time for just a moment until the camera is ready!

Welcome! And believe me, I don't let her chew on rubber bands. She
finds
them fascinating but it is not something I let her play with/eat.

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

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. :-)

Then Persia won't do ANY thing cute.

Yeah, she never does *anything* cute when I'm prepared to snap a photo!

I honestly don't know what it was from. This is my assumption though, dad
must have opened a fresh bottle of Tylenol or such, he may not have realized
the seal didn't make it to the trash can. Now we are extra careful with
things like that. And they can't get to the toxic things - Tiny is smart
but hasn't figured out how to open cabinet doors (yet). If he's going to
open anything it will be the door to the fridge! LOL

Karen - thanks for the compliments! I'm still adding to the site, check
back frequently!

The safety seal for what? Did he get sick from what was inside a bottle
or jug of something?

I keep all the household toxic stuff in a cabinet with a childproof
latch on it - appears to be catproof too (hopefully - it's always kept
R & S from getting in there, we'll have to see how well Licky does at
latch-picking).

Thank you - I am very proud of my kids (not a biased mom at all).
Elmo is unique, may be anti-social but he's cool - he picked me, not the
other way around. He reached out of the cage and tapped me on the shoulder
instead of playing w/his litter mates.

Actually we think Tyrone had some Maine Coon in him, he was 20 pounds at
one time. And furry. I saved some of his hair (Z's too). Is that
sick/unusual? Oh well, I'll be ready for the funny farm one day I'm
sure. hahaha.

They're beautiful! Elmo might not be very sociable, but he's extremely
cute sleeping in the laundry basket. And Stumbles is a very pretty cat -
I'm partial to orange-and-whites. Z was a beauty, too. When you
described
him as 22 pounds, I expected to see a Maine Coon, but no, he was just a
huge tabby! Great pictures.
