On a serious note, does such a place exist? And if so, how would
the dogs get there? I'm guessing if a cat cannot reach the food
the dogs' chances would be nil.
I was thinking somewhere the cats aren't usually allowed, like the
porch. The dogs could be fed on the porch at certain times of the day,
for instance.

WOW, you're a genius! "Lost" is so lucky to have you to work out
difficult problems like this!
/unnecessary_sarcasm

there, I fixed that for you.

Seriously, cybercat, you've never had a "duh!" moment, ever, when a
really obvious solution to a problem escapes you until someone points it
out? No, wow, you must be the smartest person in the world then.

yea, I'm feeling snarky tonight

I sent a reply to you via email, since you sent *this* to my email
address. Since your address is munged, it bounced. So here is my reply:

I just cannot stand "Lost." There is something just not at all genuine
about this attention-seeking ass. You know me ... we've both been around
a while. I generally do not suffer in silence.

Thanks for writing.


Didn't get your email, and sending it to your email musta been a glitch,
cause I didn't do it on purpose - sorry.

I noticed the "not suffer in silence" thingy. I do. Suffer in silence,
usually. Flamewars, to me, are pointless. Entertaining sometimes, if I'm
not involved

I wasn't flaming anyone. There's a middle ground between flaming and
acknowledging horse****. I'll leave it to you and Rene to tiptoe through the
bozos and validate their assinine plays for attention. Life is just too gd
short for that, for me.

I'm not sure this will work as the dogs graze at random times --
not excessively.


Dogs don't need to "graze". They do better with regulated feeding times.

It's *your* house.

And if so, how would

We have to figure something out our largest cat is packing weight
back on after a successful stint at dieting because he refuses to
keep his sniffer out of the dog bowl.


You refuse to try and keep dog food away from him.
If he got a proper diet , he wouldn't want to eat dog food anyway.

Response to "news" :

What do you mean by "do better?"

It was an attempt at serious comedy. I could not think of a single
place that a dog could get to that our cats could not.

And if so, how would
the dogs get there? I'm guessing if a cat cannot reach the
food the dogs' chances would be nil.

I'm not completely sure you know what my frame of mind is, however
I'll note that my family and I are following what my wife has
garnered from information presented in this newsgroup.

Have you some better dietary advice? The larger cat tries to eat
dog food I imagine for the very same reasons that made him
overweight in the first place.

I'm very interested in sound advice if you've any to offer.

I've noticed that our cats are grazing on dog food between feedings
-- anyone have a tip or two on how to curb this behavior?

I post about a covered litter box, and the attention starved troll
cybercat comes after me for it. She is perpetually insulting, and
then she complains about someone else seeking attention and that
she does not have time to mess with them...
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!
