They are doing the job quite well. Me getting adjusted to pockets &
stuff not being where it was, is taking some time, but that I can deal
with.

One question, where (and on what) are the dogs sleeping now?:-)

Not a problem. Mics I have, and the company certifies them. (Seems
someone from the Big Customer came through once, and discovered an
uncertified measuring device, belonging to a worker, and it cost the
company big bucks.)

LO I am fascinated by how you can put the cardboard flat from a case
of pop on the floor, and if not disturbed, a cat will come along, and ...
"pose" is the word which comes to mind, in the very center. And the other
cats will look at the first with that "Well, aren't you the lucky one."
look. (Is there some secret mnemonic "An Empty Box Seats a Cat"?)

I might be... but I don't let that get in the way.

Cats have NO sense of humor and hate being laughed at.

Cats do have a sense of humor, but it does not involve them. They do
have a sense of Dignity which Will be Respected ... the whole "I meant to
do that." bit. I like cats for that sense of self assured dignity, sitting
there, calm, poised, serene - and then they sprawl over and start licking
themselves! Yes, very, very "at one with themselves and the moment."

My cat mocks me constantly. I am constantly mockable even by a cat. Not
a good sign.

Seek help in Great Britain. They have a sly game called Confuse A Cat
which should be of great service to you. One of our Brit buds should
be able to give you an address and/or phone number for them. Sir Monty
of Python is the manufacturer.

If you slit the bottom of the long upper pocket with an Xacto
knife..then rub the cut edges with shoe goop so it dont unravel in the
wash..it works pretty good for a caliper

G Critters. Dogs like dirty clothes and cats like clean. Though, that

We found our cat snuggled up on top of the ironing board yesterday. Spot
of the moment for sleeping. SWMBO is wondering if she can teach her to
do the ironing {:-)


What really ****ed me off was discovering that the shade sail was
suddenly sagged. It dropped about a foot and I couldn't work out what
had caused it to happen until one day the cat demonstrated why. Up the
tree out the front, over the roof and jump down onto it, then wander
round it.

Ive got a covered atrium..covered with a semi-open weave "shade cloth"

Its not unusual to look up and find 3-5 lumpy sags. On the other
hand..its a lot of fun to turn on the garden hose (Ive got GREAT water
pressure)..and wash the shade cloth from the bottom. There is only
one way up and down from it...and when it gets wet..its really really
slippery..too slippery for a cat to climp. So it gets watered first.
EG which leaves them trapped above semi open weave cloth with a
guy with a garden hose below them....

Shrug..easiest way to given em a bath..beats sticken them in the
toilet, closing the lid and flushing a few times.

Though I do have one mog that actually waits for me to take a shower
and he climbs in with me. He, like me..dont like the water cold
though, nor to hot.

I was all concerned the first time I saw one of the cats on the shed.
Then I saw her get down (and on another time, up into the racks under the
carport roof.)

The wildest one I 'saw' was from friends. They had known the cat was
being let out the front door, but somehow "appearing" on the deck, wanting
to be let in, and they couldn't figure out how. Aim webcam out the window,
capture video of the cat climbing the twelve - fifteen foot tall 4x4 post
supporting the deck, then weaving over and under beams and joists to the
end, then a free climb from underneath, over the edge onto the deck itself.
They added the sound track from Mission Impossible ...

Tale from my early days:
About sixty years ago we lived in the country with a small stable
where we kept a cow and some hens. My kitty had a litter, and since
they were under foot, Mother banished them to the stable. Next
morning, the whole family were back in the kitchen. This went on for a
while with threats to me to leave those damned cats where they
belonged until one day when Dad kept watch and solved the mystery.

Mother cat would appear at a pigeon access hole in the gable of the
stable with a kitten in her mouth; from here she would swing out and
grip the well weathered facia board and swing up onto the cedar
shingled roof, then it was down the roof, drop onto the cedar pole top
rail of the eight foot chicken yard fence, along that and down to the
four foot pig yard fence and down to the ground. At the house she
would climb the wood pile, through the hatch into the wood shed, jump
up and hook a paw through the hand grip while the other paw rattled
the thumb latch until the latch bar lifted and the door swung open.

All of this with a four week or older kitten in her mouth!

Dad put a stop to this by closing the hatch into the woodshed, but not
for long - she could pull open the screen and jump up and turn the
olt, rough surfaced, cast iron doorknob. After this, we let her have
her way but often let her demonstrate her determination to unbelieving
friends and neighbours.

She could move all six kittens in less than an hour and would keep it
up for about three cycles as long as one of us kept carrying them back
to the stable.
