I'm sure they are lovely, but would he tell you otherwise?

our two newest cats, Lo Mein and Chop Suey do that too. we have to keep the thing flushed for them. sometimes they prefer it. but it's my house and I leave the seat up.

[Gabz]

So that's why my remote doesn't work anymore!!!!

Mystery solved!!!

thankfully, lucius is too short to drink from the toilet and too short to get anything off of the kitchen table. unlike his predecessor! he was beside himself when i served horsdoerves on the coffee table though, bc that is just right for easy access!

[CholeraJoe]

Can't call em Ho and Mo any longer.

I kept telling everybody that as soon as their nuts dropped they'd be hetero. But did the wimmen believe me? NOOOOOO.

[Gabz]

And it stays cold!!!!

I caught her at it again - but this time she was trying to catch a fly that was floating in the water - what a mess!!!

[xsmommy]

no, he didn't have to say anything at all. when he originally made the compliment he was there to assess the cut electrical grounding cord that his guys cut with the lawnmower around the other side of the house. the bed in question is on the other side of the driveway and it isn't immediately apparent that it is on our property. he ASKED if it was mine and if i had done it and that is when he complimented me.

CJ's pups have pizza delivery and PPV on speeddial....

When Boring, Fat & Gray was a kitten, I had put a nice vase on the coffee table, on a pretty lace doily. Then I sat down to rest, put my drink down and my feet up, and guess who comes running full tilt into the living room.

She jumped onto the coffee table, skidded on the doily, crashed into the vase sending it crashing galley west, AND knocked my drink onto the floor. Then she landed on my lap, claws still extended from all that skidding.

ouch!

[Gabz]

Ever since I was a kid, toilets were continually scrubbed and left open for the dogs - it's especially helpful in hot weather when the water in their bowls gets warm quickly.

I caught anisette up at the kitchen counter the other night - hubby had left 2 slices of pizza on the board - and cinderella is going to be even bigger than that!!!

Before the arthritis hit her hind legs anisette could put her paws on my shoulders, even when I was wearing heels.

[Gabz]

Not all of the wimmen didn't disbelieve you.............

[xsmommy]

holy moley.

[Gabz]

LOL!!!!

I have my phones out of reach because Jax has a tendency to try and call her grandparents - in Heaven.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Yeah I stood with you on that issue. I have some cheesecake shots of LulaBelle I need to scan in for them.

[honeygrl]

I just want to know how Quilla gets her hubby to rub her back every night.

[Gabz]

LOL!!!!

We discovered the other evening that Cinder likes beer. We were sitting outside and she got her cable wrabbed around hubby's chair - in trying to untangle her his beer was knocked over and she pouned on it and lapped it all up.

[Conspiracy Guy]

SAves time on keeping the water bowl full too.

[camle]

of course one night we had a guest who put the whole enchalada down in the middle of the night. when I got up in the night to pee, I almost watered the room. Thankfully I tend to look where I'm peeing.
