    3 yr old cat starting to "knead" me!

    Ok, so I have always heard that cats that knead were ones that were taken too early from their mommas, but she has NEVER kneaded before last week. And the only time she kneads is early morning whe she decides to give me luvvins. Ok, I can handle that because it is my shoulder, side, etc. BUT...

    Question of the Day- September 20th

    I like Agatha Christie, Dean Koontz, any mystery books. But I also like good books (esp right now!) to help me build my (christian) character- 2002 romantic ideas, 6 stress points of women, learning to tell myself the truth, Playground Politics, etc.

    Very Important!! Would You

    oh Hunny, PLEASE don't feel that way! I had to call DCS to report something about my own child, which of course got them coming out to our house, etc. It was the right thing to do, but scary as HE!! !!!! My DH told me I had "betrayed" him because I didn't talk to him about it before I did...

    Feel like a "real" pet owner now!

    Well, we were able to pick up Oreo after 2, so promptly at 2 my kids made me go get her! They said she was NOT prego! BUT that her uterus WAS large meaning it looked like she was getting ready to be in heat. She is home and eating and drinking well, not stomach upset. They said to keep her...

    Feel like a "real" pet owner now!

    Ok, back with Merlin, he's doing good, had blood draw for Luke/aids- it was negative, so they don't have to do the test on mom! They are so cool there, they give you the options, but don't MAKE you spend extra money and tell you " you have to do it!" Like the one place that told me "it's an...

    Feel like a "real" pet owner now!

    Thank you Everyone for your insightful input! I knew you all would be "johnny on the spot" and give me the educated advice I needed to hear. I asked dh last night what to do and he said he had no problem going ahead with the spay if it cost a little more! "It's just a cat". But reading your...

    My ingenious toy design.

    My dd11 wrapped about a 3" piece of pipe cleaner around a 3.5" piece of yarn so that the colors were twisted, and frayed the ends of it (she thought it looked cool-an "art project") Well, Merlin thinks it's his latest and greatest "kill" and will walk around with it in his mouth, flip it up in...

    Long day all around!

    At 6:30 this am my dh called and said he had blown a tire and needed me (and the kiddos since we homeschool) to come and take him to PepBoys with the tow truck so he could take MY vehicle to work and I could wait for the other car to get 2 new tires on the front (with 3 kids ages 11, 9 and 7!)...

    Feel like a "real" pet owner now!

    Walked right into the vets office today ( a new one, not the one we have used for years for other pets) to check out the smell, cleanliness, etc, before I take the cats there. We had gotten some money, and told dh that we really needed to get Oreo some care (her tummy is getting big again, and...
