I forget who said it, but someone once said something like, "Cats are proof that not everything in nature has a purpose."

At least you know where the goop is. My cat usually does it in the middle of the night., no pre-warning caterwauling, just the retching that makes me bolt out of bed and *splat* step right in it.

(Some night I'll learn to turn the light on.)

Then she curls up beside me and starts purring, and all is right with the world again. Dogs! pffffffffffffffft! Dogs can't purr.

Thomas and BPbear should just leave. A cat thread is beyond them. Phtt.

Cats are here to commune. Most of us know they are communicable and that they will eventually take over our minds just as Dante has taken over Dys' mind. He sits in the doorway to the bedroom, stares at Dys and soon wakens Dys, no matter how soundly he was sleeping. I'm amused, Dys is confused and Dante is smug as only a cat can be, having achieved his goal of cat over human.

Nonsense.


Cats know the purpose of nature is them.

Know where it is?



If I'd let her, she'd do it ON me, clearly as a precious gift, a pearl without price!


Aaaaaah....the purr...........dogs so cannot make with the purr.

Heh heh......yes, I know the stare.



One of mine, if I slept, or pretended to, through the stare, would lift an eyelid with the most delicate of paws.


One day, I grabbed the paw, and gave it a nip.


She...a wee scrap of a kitten, sitting on my chest, drew herself up like an outraged queen, slapped my face with a miniscule paw, and stalked off in high dudgeon.

My MIL has cat grass in a pot. Specially designed for cats this stuff is, helps cats digest their food and restock their systems with live enzymes and other wanky stuff. Seed available at pet stores.

But you probably knew that already.

There may yet be a hairball in your future, Deb. We used to have a cat that would mow the freaking yard when he needed to get rid of a hairball. Most times we'd get a few upchucks of just grass and then he mow the yard some more and heave up the grass until such time as the hairball finally came out. Then we'd have to go back to mowing the grass ourselves.

It could have been worse, FM. If her cat did it at sundown, she could have written crepuscular.

You know, I suspect they do it as a last ditch attempt to get our full attention, when all else has failed. Works like a charm, too!

We spit on cat haters. Ptoooiii.

Hairballs ~ Maybe I'm just lucky but I heard about this preventative years ago and have not had a hairball since: give the cat a little oil once in a while. Butter, olive oil, etc., whatever they like (and they do like it). Myself, I use organic food-grade coconut oil on my skin before bed, so my cats get a little bit of that each night.

I got so sick of damned ol' rosy fingered dawn (Eos), that i threw down The Odyssey in disgust. That, and "then they laid their hands on the good things that were there for them to eat." Always made me hungry, so i'd put the book down, and go rummage in the fridge.
