A bit off-topic, but I've seen this posted a lot lately. I honestly beg to differ. Mitts has never gone outside his box. Except the first time we left him with a cat-sitter. Big poo in the middle of the floor. Thank god the sitter realized Mitts was just PO'ed. If we fight, I can...

Mitts was nuetered well over a year ago. I noticed that Mitts looks a lot like Gizmo, so maybe they're freak long lost relatives! He hasn't been doing this that long though, so maybe I'll take him to the vet just to make sure.

Mitts seems to not want to squat anymore. He stands up when he pees. We have a covered box so our house isn't "peed on." But it seems odd to me, he squats to poo, he's healthy. Why is he doing this?

When I went back to Ohio to get married (at 30 years old) the girl at WalMart wouldn't sell me cigarettes with no ID. Granted, I look young. But I think I topped it off (meaning my own idiocy! ) by getting pissed off and yelling, "MOM, they won't sell me cigarettes, can you buy some!" Still...

Thanks so much urbantigers! He usually does this when I wake up or when I just get home. It is usually accompanied by a very cute roll on the floor!

A bit off topic. But I love it when Mitts kneads (when his nails are cut! ) I love the different terms: kneading bread mashing potatoes We call it "making biscuits!"

Mitts often looks like he is spraying (I guess, I'm not sure) He'll walk up to something, point his butt at it and his tail will shake. But he isn't actually spraying!! Nothing comes out and there is no scent. What is this? I'm worried most because we are thinking of getting him a buddy and...

I came home from work tonight and Mitts only opened one. At first I thought he was just tired (he does that sometimes) but then hubby took a look and there was some discharge there. So panicky us take the Mitt to the vet right away (no appointments here, just walk in.) By the time we made...

Garbage is hilarious for me here in Taiwan. I don't take out the garbage, my doorman picks it up from outside the elevator everyday around 1pm. He then takes it downstairs where someone else takes the recycling away for money. But this recycling person is not part of a government office, they...

According to Wiki, my home town now has 7,958 people. When I was younger the population was around 5,000. Since then I have moved a lot. One place Melbourne, Australia pop. 3.7 million. Now Taiwan. My suburb was once THE most densely populated city on Earth. Some other lucky place now...

I started college as pre-med/psychology and I wanted to be a Psychiatrist in a mental institution. I finished college as an English/Women's Studies double major. Decided to go to Taiwan to teach Englis for a year off before Law School. Met hubby (also had vowed I'd never get married! ) Moved...

Shuffle could go from Dwight Yoakum to The Pixies to Chinese pop songs to Edith Piaf and on again to Tom Waits. I don't believe in listening to any one kind of music. Actually, this topic makes me remember that when I first moved to Taiwan I couldn't stand Mando-Pop (pop music in Mandarin...

Outside of North America, cilantro is usually called coriander. It's also prevalent in Asian cuisine.

Hubby and I share our email address and we use each other's phones all the time. I actually think we have no individual privacy But I trust him implicitly, plus he's clueless about other girls! Today I was walking witha friend behind hubby and the friend ( a guy) noticed that a pretty girl...

Aww. that was so sad for me. If a friend of a friend had not rescued Mitts from the street, I wouldnt have my little bundle of joy. You do some good work
