Ack! Brain bleach, please.

Maybe initial reports were wrong, but the story I first heard was that the brat had actually broken Luxe's tail by yanking on it. In which case, Luxe had reacted very appropriately by giving the kid a swat. I still believe the husband was completely abusive and the cat just snapped - "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it any more!" I'm very glad the cat is away from those psychos now.

Ha ha! I'm used to seeing cats on top of the car.

That comment never got old at TWoP. Seriously. I was so bummed when misterbfd got banned. Hmm, I wonder if he's here? I find myself missing a member list.

90%, at the second link, there is a comment that proclaims, "would be better if this were an ad for chocolate milk....", and I laughed my head off!

I had a little red Chevette with a quarter of a million miles on it. You couldn't actually SEE the road because there were bits of rotted carpet in the way. And then my Dad pulled up the carpet enough to shove a metal plate underneath, slapped a floor mat down and said, "Now leave it alone!" Got another couple of years out of that sucker. Thanks, guys. Fabulous memories for Father's Day. We lost him in 2003.

I think you might have been right the first time - that IS Satan's spawn, as far as I'm concerned.

LOL. Such a tease.

I think your link is broken, BBM.

I so don't understand that reaction, either. Dafuq? She's fabulous!

OMG, do yours do that to you, too? Late at night, suddenly going on alert and freaking you out. And then laying back down, all "Never mind."? The worst was the night one of my previous kitties (RIP, Birdie) learned how to turn the hall light off and on. So, it's 2:00 am, I live alone and suddenly the hall light just outside my bedroom comes on. I'm on the verge of screaming when I hear *scrabble, scrabble, FLIP!* and the light goes out. *scrabble, scrabble, FLIP!* the light goes on. And Birdie comes sashaying in all proud of herself for learning a new trick. Arrgghh!

Also, how does that make you healthier? Stress is a killer.

I had problems with urls that start with https (which should be OK, but whatever), so I just delete the "s" to make it http and I'm good to go. I have to say this is one of the easiest sites to embed a video on. Although, sometimes I can't see the embedded video when I first post it, but a refresh will bring it right up.

LOVED that!

Oh my goodness, Sampson is gorgeous!

I always think they look way too fluffy to be shorthairs, but they're adorable.

I think andplusalso is going to be my new word. :)

All right, Shimpy, I hit F2 and now it's too dark and I can't figure out how to make it brighter again. Never mind, I just figured out F3 brightens it again.

Found it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKFZsccJASI Yuck! OK, I'm going there. The ad says all that underwear is being tossed because of stains, so I'm imagining they're all dirty. Also, seriously? I've never had a pair I couldn't get clean. Is tossing underwear really a thing? Seems like a solution to a made-up problem to me.

Remember all the Snickers "Feast!" commercials? Here they are all bundled into one video - enjoy!

Glark has said being able to "dim" the background to a different color is coming sometime this summer. Upgrade coming soon!

Eyebrows don't come back that fast. Just sayin'

OK, it's a little better than I had feared. At least he's worried about heart attacks, etc. I was afraid that it was aimed at people who would shrug off the fact that cigarettes can kill you, but draw the line at yellow teeth, bad breath and wrinkles. You know, the really bad side effects.

I think maybe a lot of people don't buy scratching posts and cat trees. And then get all upset when the cat climbs on things and needs to scratch somewhere. Which is puzzling and maddening when they bitch about "bad cats". Don't they know what kind of animal they've brought into their home? Cats gotta climb, and have to scratch to remove the constant growth of their claws. I have two cats and they have two window seats, one in a front window and one in a back window. They also have a 6 ft tall cat tree by the patio door. It's a nice forest green with brown sisal on the uprights, and is much nicer than those white carpet ones. Dirt cheap on Overstock.com! But I digress. My landlady was here a few months ago and she was flabbergasted and said I really did spoil them. Well, I do, but because I had a tree and window seats? Didn't seem such a noteworthy thing to me. I don't care if they jump up on bookcases and dressers. I expect it. They don't jump on the kitchen counter for some reason, but the dining room table is fair game. If I'm having company over who might be weirded out by the cats having been on the table, I just wipe it down and toss a cheap tablecloth on before we eat. Animals are not people! They're different species, with different needs. People who don't understand that really shouldn't have pets.

Erm, not always. Maybe it's the exception that proves the rule or something, but anyway... I had a barn kitten rescue that was either dropped on his head before I got him or was bipolar or something, but he loved me until he hated me and attacked. Neutering didn't help. Only cat I ever declawed, and that was because he was literally shredding me. He switched to biting and grabbing me with his front paws while he kicked the hell out of me with his back claws. I decided he wanted company, so I got him a kitten - a girl. I figured between him being older and a boy, this could work. Despite ShuShu being the sweetest kitten ever, he devoted all his waking hours to trying to kill her. Not hyperbole - he was serious. He would even make that chirruping call to get her to come into the other room, where he would attack. It got to the point where I would put them in separate rooms when I was asleep or gone. Somebody had to go. I put an ad in the paper and two college kids were tickled to death with him. I had named him Monster Baby by then. "Cool! Cat with an attitude!" They called a week later to say all was well and he was the best cat ever. *shrugs* And ShuShu and I had many happy years together.
