[Kathy in Alaska]

I'm eating right now. Yummy!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Holy Teapot!
Minette was outside fighting with another cat!
I broke it up with the garden hose..
and got Minette back inside...
What awful yowling!
Gonna take a minute to get my pulse back to normal...
I didn't realise she had escaped!
Tarnation!
Ms.B

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yikes! Now you have to dry Minette and check for wounds. Geez.

[TASMANIANRED]

We were saturated including my basement.

Sump pump didn't stop for days.

We had that storm that dumped 6 inches in 3 hours and we are in a new pattern now.

We've just had a few sprinkles.

[TASMANIANRED]

She didn't eat you alive did she.

Jackie had a near run in with a cat today.

I let her out and she was carring on something awful.

The lady next door was trying to shoe a cat out of the yard with a broom.

It wasn't going to leave.

I think it was going to try to challenge her.

Cat was probably a whole lot more dog wise than Jackie is cat wise.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

GEEZ!!
That scared the you know what out of me..
Minette was bristling and growling when I brought her in..
She's wet, but bloodless, so far!
I'm getting too old for this!
Ms.B

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Jackie still kissing your toes?
LOL
We used to have "Doberperson" that did that to Mr.B
I used to tell him..
She thinks it's a puppy!
Ms.B

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good Wednesday, Gulf. Thanks for dropping by for pancakes, and thanks for your service to America.

[TASMANIANRED]

Poor ole Jackie has a foot fetish.

She grooms her feet, Solitares feet and if my toes are available she takes care of them too.

It is not one of my favorite things. Dick Morris can keep his fetish.

[TASMANIANRED]

Cats don't appreciate water they way my labs do.

I just don't understand it. LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

How does she feel about being wet? Will she let you hold her and dry her?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AZ, for the red, white, and blue.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

"Dick Morris can keep his fetish."
LOL
You silly thing!
Love you...
Ms.B

[MS.BEHAVIN]

She doesn't like being wet!
She does, however, crave attention!
Being rubbed with a big fluffy towel by Mom is a good thing!
Just don't want/need anymore kitty fuzz/eyelash stuff tonight!
Ms.B

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yes....no more kitty fuzz.

[TASMANIANRED]

My husband tells me I am foolish.

At times, perhaps.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

LOL
Cats hate water!
I love it!
I'm a bath/shower freak!
My Labs were fun to play with at the beach!
I had to drag them out to go home..
Like they were kids!
Ms.B

[TASMANIANRED]

Give a lab a pond and a ball and they are the definition of joy.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I think maybe dogs are the definition of joy..
All by themselves!
Ms.B

[MS.BEHAVIN]

What makes you so funny..
Is that you play the "straight man"...
But you always leave me laughing...
;0)
Ms.B
