Ooooh, getting close to the 5000 post everyone
, so be sure to remember the rules on 15 words or more, no consecutive posts ...... there's a lot of babbling been going on here.
Mouse has zero interest in my food or drinks unless it is to tell me to tidy them away (he scrapes around them and does his best to cover them up, esp coffee cups), but my previous cats were the opposite. I gave up eating cereal when they were with me - having a furry paw steal the corn flakes from my spoon before it reached my mouth did not a pleasant and restful breakfast make.
They were almost as bad with toast but that was partly my own fault: for some reason I threw a crispy corner for them to chase one day and they decided they liked it...
Then there was the issue of going in to the freezer.... they discovered frozen peas and sweet corn kernels because there always seemed to be some that would fall out of the open packets and land on the floor. The cats decided it was major fun chasing the bits around until they were defrosted enough to chomp in to.
It was like feeding time at the zoo just getting to the refrigerator.
Now, glasses of water, that is a different story with Mouse. I never leave a cup or glass of water unattended and then go back to drink from it because he will be sure to have lapped up a few mouth fulls.
He has his own glass beside the kitchen sink because he refused to drink from a bowl of any kind and it is the only alternative I've found that works other than his drinking from a dripping tap. Either that or me stand and let him drink from a syringe..... and I don't really want to spend several hours a day doing that for him.
Keep up the babbling everyone.

So go the cats.
Well, I spent the day trying to sleep, and now it's time to get up for work and I'm exhausted. I can tell that this is going to be a fun night. (In the most sarcastic way, of course.) Then there's the fact that my manager informed me when I got off early this morning that my employee review is coming up. I'm a little worried about that.
Rose and AWM used to have fun with AWM's roast beef sandwiches (low sodium, of course). Rose would sit, watching AWM as she ate, and then dart forward to snag a pawful of roast beef to pull out of the sandwich for a combination off eating and play.

Sorry, I'm not sure about some of the abbreviations people are using. What does AWM stand for?
I have the hardest time getting my boys to drink water. They will only drink from their bowl right after it's been thoroughly washed and refilled. If the water has been out for more than 10 minutes, they won't touch it. So I've been washing their bowl several times a day. They always want to drink out of glasses and I've been mixing their soft food with water and they drink that. They're spoiled brats and I wouldn't have them any other way.

Honeybee LOVES drinking out of my cup or my bottle of water cap or heaven forbid I syringe water into her mouth. I did this the night we came home because we didnt have a way to give her water all day-it was a long long day driving then she hid under the bed when we got home. I got a cup and syringed water-she loved it! I am thinking about getting one of those rabbit water bottles-she would sit and lick it if water comes out. she licks the condensation off the water bottle after coming out of the refrig. strange kitty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh she has these littel milk glass tiny cups or bowls that were used for veggies in the 1960s. she also splatters her food all over the place and water. so it looks like she drinks a ton of water-in essence she makes more a mess with the water than actually get it inside her lol
also my angel Floey only drank water out of the planter on the porch. every night and morning she whined to go outside and drink water. I have bowls and cups all over the house. cups on counters and bowls on the floor...they only drink it if its been sitting a day..they dont like fresh water. weirdos.

That Whiskey Chocolate sounded good Anyway it was a slow hot day here on the East Coast. It is 7:32pm and Sumset. Poor BOOTSE was too hot today and threw up. I cleaned it up an now she is resting comfortably on her favorite part of the Sofa. My husband is resting on the other side and Kira is asleep on the floor sooo good night ^_^. BOOTSE Mom
I was expecting this to be done already. We are making pork chops and other delicious foods as I type. Yum yum yum.
You're making me hungry. I made myself some celery and peanut butter on my break, but I ate it all already. I think I need to holler at the boyfriend and ask him to make me some more. I'm going to be making us barbecue chicken for dinner tonight. We're out of potatoes (completely tragic) so I'm not sure what I'm doing for sides, yet. We need to get groceries again.

AWM stands for Awesomely Wise Mother. (I think I'm the only one who uses it.)
Thanks. I know there are a couple more on here I don't know but right now, I can't remember what they are. Talking to idiots dulls brain cells. Tell me how complicated this survey is.
Hello, may I speak to ________?
Hello sir/ma'am my name is Alicia and I'm calling on behalf of ____________________. First of all, _______________ would like to thank you for your business. Also, I was wondering if I could ask you 2 or 3 questions about your recent rental car experience. Is this ok?
Thank you. For quality and training purposes this call may be monitored or recorded.
Overall, how satisfied were you with your car rental on ___________? Would you say you were
Completely satisfied
Somewhat satisfied
Neither satisfied or dissatisfied
Somewhat dissatisfied
Completely dissatisfied
If you need to rent a car again, how likely would you be to call _______________? Would you say
Definitely will call
Probably will call
Might or might not call
Probably will not call
Definitely will not call
Your comments are appreciated and will be very helpful to ________________. Thank you very much for your time sir/ma'am and have a nice evening.
You wouldn't believe how many people are completely unable to give me one of the answers on the scale. I can't accept "the first one" or "satisfied" or "yes, that one." I've had people tell me the survey is too complicated. Seriously? I also can't talk to random woman just because she's his wife. And is it really necessary to cuss me up one side and down the other because you were unhappy with your car rental? I have nothing to do with that. I'll have someone who has the power to do something about it call you. And don't spend 5 minutes telling me why you don't have time to do the survey when it takes less than a minute!
Ok, vent over. I'm ready to be off work now.

Sounds kind of like carding customers, or posting the "Use Front Doors" sign on the side doors (each of the side doors, as a matter of fact). We have signs on both doors, on the counters, and even over the cigarettes and tobacco that we ID for alcohol and tobacco. What do people say? "There should be a sign." Every single time I lock the side doors, I post (one sign on each door, mind you) a piece of typing paper with one-hundred and thirty-two font letters that say "Use Front Doors". Nevertheless, every night (and I've been doing this since the new management said I had to) I get customers trying to force those doors open and then tell me, "You should put up a sign."
At least one? I WISH. I have one decent person for every 6 buttholes/idiots. And then, "I said 100% satisfied, wouldn't you say that's completely?" Well, sure, but I'M NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE YOUR ANSWER UNLESS YOU SAY THE ACTUAL WORDS!!! I'm not trying to be difficult. I just would rather NOT get fired. Thanks.

(We all know there's going to be at least one.)
Anyway, we ran out of numbers so I'm done for the night. Whoo-hoo!!!
Facebook frustrates me at times. I am trying to find a post that one of my friends posted, but I can't since Facebook doesn't want me to see things I've already looked at.
Go to your friend's profile and scroll through his/her newsfeed. You might be able to find it that way.
I was gonna start dinner and take a shower but Murphy decided I needed to be snuggled and have my face washed. I don't mind the face washing, but he has stinky cat food breath. Any suggestions for handling bath breath in cats? There are all kinds of different treats at Wal*Mart but they don't seem to be helping.

I work at a restaurant and like most restaurants in town, we close early on sundays (8pm). Every sunday when I close, I will lock the doors at 8 (or after the last customer leaves) and continue my closing work. Every time I get at least one idiot knocking on the door asking if we are open. :doh3:
As if the doors being locked wasn't enough of a clue, you can also see inside the restaurant and you can see the chairs up on top of the tables. AND there is a freaking sign on BOTH of our doors that clearly states our business hours.
And still, people wanna come up and ask "Are you guys open?" When CLEARLY we arent!!!

For some reason it will only show me post I haven't seen. It's probably an annoying setting.
We brush our cats teeth, so breath isn't so bad.
What do you brush them with? Just a regular toothbrush or can you get special kitty toothbrushes? What about kitty toothpaste? And what is the likelihood of me getting through the tooth brushing with most of my skin intact?
We use baby toothbrushes and cat toothpaste. We worked our cats up to it slowly, but we still wrap them up like burritos first to avoid any attempts to slip away.
Baby toothbrushes are easy, but where would I find kitty toothpaste? Clean teeth will probably keep them healthy longer and I want to have my boys for the next 80 years. Wish it was possible.
I get mine online. From Chewy.com. I use the CET toothpaste that is for dogs and cats. I think amazon may have it too.
