heh...Mine are tortured every morning when I crack open a new can.
Speaking of kitties. When we moved, the previous owner asked us if we would mind keeping her cat, Shelby. I didn't have a problem with it whatsoever, but naturally, Shelby was VEY skittish and shy, and wouldn't even let us get close to her. She would only come out at night to eat, after we've all gone to bed. It started to worry me that she was so timid, after all, how would I be able to trim her nails or take her to the vet if she would come near us?
Well, I'm glad to say that last night, while Jess was working, Shelby and I had a breakthrough. It took about 20 minutes, but she eventually came over to me and let me pet her while I was watching TV upstairs, and Autumn had gone to sleep. Poor kitty was so starved for attention that she was literally salivating on my hand when she'd rub up against it (almost violently!). Hopefully, it's a sign of good things to come!
She's white with black spots...looks like a little cow.
