    IMOM.org is full of angels!!!

    Wow, that is awesome!! I wish more people knew about this because I'm always seeing people posting on various forums that they can't afford to take their cats to the vet/ I guess I can tell them where to go for help now. Thanks. Also, they'll be on my top charities list for donations!

    I use the Snuggle Safe discs for my cats, too, and I like 'em. Hope your kitty feels better soon!

    He won't shut UP!!!!

    You could try to engage him in some activity when he wants out. He's probably bored and knows how much fun (and dangerous) outside can be. Maybe if he sees how much fun indoors can be also, he won't want out as much.

    Cat likes to wake me up

    My cat does this every single morning (and throughout the night when he wants under, because when he does it, I'll lift the blankets for him). I got used to it. Now I can't imagine waking up any other way. I think it just means your kitty loves you, trusts you, and knows you love him enough to...

    leather furniture...do cats scratch that too?

    My cat's have never scratched the leather furniture on purpose, or by accident. I was worried about them jumping off, mostly, but it was never an issue. My legs on the other hand... They do like mesh furniture, like office chairs. I've found leather to be forgiving, and if they do puncture it...

    Litter Boxes

    I would use a liner if I found a type that fit the box like a glove. I use corner-shaped boxes, so that'd be hard (not that it'd be easy for any shape). I think they're more trouble than they're worth, but I like the idea. I don't use covered boxes because I don't think my cats would want to...

    love bites?

    Thanks! It's good to know it's not uncommon. Cupid does back off (most of the time) when Opal "says" something.

    I need a new vacuum.

    I have the Dyson Animal too (obviously I don't need it for pet hair, but...) and I don't like it. I can go across a piece of lint 3 times and that thing still won't pick it up, and I have low-pile carpet. I don't get it because everyone loves it!

    HELP or my cat will be finding a new home!!!

    Your kitty may be experiencing love and affection for the first time in her life, and will therefore want it as much as she can get it! It's no surprise to me that she doesn't want to be left out alone at night. I got Opal a month ago, and she is still wanting to be held 24/7 and has no interest...

    My next car

    I don't know anything about cars, but congratulations on getting one that means so much to you--and apparently others on this forum! If it doesn't come in purple, you can have it painted. I don't know why cars don't come in pink!

    Online Diaries...anyone else use them?

    I have for several years, but I used to move around a lot so too many real life people wouldn't find me. Now I just let them. I write in it mostly when I'm upset about something, because I like to talk to hear myself talk a lot, it helps me sort things out, and I found that typing works too. It...

    Heidi gave me an idea- what is your favorite word?

    Passion. I am a passionate person about everything, so that may be why, but I just love the way it sounds. Also, cherish.

    I need a new vacuum.

    If you can, I suggest trying them out at a store first (like Sears or something like that) whether you buy from there or not. I bought a vacuum based on owner opinions (and looks) and I hate it. I'll never buy a vacuum again without testing it first. And I like bagless better just because I...

    Post your age and how long you've had your cat :o

    I'm 26 and I've had Cupid for 2 joyous years and Opal for about a month.

    love bites?

    Cupid's biting Opal and I don't know if he's being mean (which is totally not like him!) or if he's just trying to get her attention. I've seen him bite her before, but it was when they were playing and she HATED it. Then just now, Opal was sitting in my lap and Cupid was sitting on the keyboard...

    Cupid's little oPAL

    Thanks, everyone! Ahem, Carla, I want to see more pictures of your babies! I'm so glad Opal is settling in too. I didn't think it would happen, but she has turned into a completely different cat since I brought her home. I love her freckles too, Tracy! And thanks. Yes. I have one...

    Cupid's little oPAL

    I told you, she likes to snuggle. And eat. Cupid's food...when she's done with her own. She has had a great adventure exploring, but now she's getting used to everything. I thought she'd look cute and be comfy...she thought I strapped a brick to her back, so I took it off. Even...

    Cupid's little oPAL

    I got Opal several weeks ago, but it's been rough. Now it's finally semi-normal around here and I feel like I can finally celebrate her arrival! You can see more about the journey here. She meows a lot! But she finally got to where she can stay still, calm down, relax and snuggle. Now she...

    The UK / US language Barrier

    I was talking to this guy online and he said "how's tricks?" and I thought he was calling me a *****. The only time I heard anything like that is like "turning tricks" like a ***** on Law & Order and stuff.
