Haha yes Callista, he is quite a talker indeed. Thanks for the compliments, I will pass them on

This is a picture of Orion which I'm particularly proud of (He's a six years old oriental shorthair, for those interested)

Hiya, Aris also prefers rubber bands and plastic rings over actual toys These plastified metal strips used to close pastic bags are a favourite, too. Since playing is like hunting to them, I suppose that might be why the toys are often near the food. First hunt, then eat. Or maybe they are...

Hi all, Last year when I joined these forums I introduced Aris & Orion, two lovely oriental shorthairs who are now respectively nine and six years old. They came into my life with my girlfriend, and meanwhile they've all moved in with me, too. They are the greatest cats one could wish for, but...

If you -just- brought home the new member of your family, I'd say give them some time. They will probably need to adjust to the new situation, but I would expect them to start getting along soon. In my experience, cats seem weary of change.. they will first make sure their own 'position' isn't...

You could also google for the make and type of your DVD drive. Combined with the keywords "region", "firmware" and "patch", you might just find a patch which can make your DVD drive region free. If you're lucky, you then won't have to bother with the regions anymore, even when you would move...

I have problems with spell checkers which are turned on by default I love firefox, though Tabbed browsing rules, and the extensions make it even better !

If the movie is really really big (recorded with a DV camcorder for example), you wouldn't want (or be allowed) to upload it anywhere on the internet. It could take ages and your provider might get ticked off at you as well.. how large is it exactly ? If it's very large, consider resizing and/or...

If the picture fits on the glass plate of the scanner, you should be able to do anything with it. When you get a high quality scan of the picture, its digital version will most likely be way bigger than the original. You can then make a copy of the file, open it in a graphics program such as...

It sure is ! Sorry to hear about your loss. Two little friends in a week, that's tough

Wow, I'm kinda speechless now Thanks for the warm welcome guys !

Hehe, I knew problems could arise when cats don't like the litter they get, but this seems like he likes it too much Orion can be a tad overenthousiastic inthere as well. Not that much of a problem, though: we use the litter that comes in these little "sticks", which is generally easy to clean...

Ouch, sorry to hear about the broken leg Cats only land right when there's enough time, so it's not just yours When falling down, they will first put their head in the right position and then turn the rest of their body accordingly. They can do this really fast, but falling down goes kinda...

Our guys snort a lot as well, especially Orion. He tends to do it while he's sniffing around at stuff. Kinda funny, some small drags of air going in and then a puff outwards Sometimes I think he sniffs dust as well.. then he snorts a couple of times and then sneezes.. cuteness

I heard it's good, but I don't think we should put it inhere: our boys annihilate all flora they can get their paws on They do like plants, they like to rip 'em up badly. The house would be covered with the stuff in five minutes You should see the floor when they've had some catnip

In some other threads I saw the vacuum cleaner trick being mentioned: have the vacuum right outside the door, turned on and unplugged, with the cord running under the door. When they start 'misbehaving' at the door, plug in the cord for 2 seconds. I haven't tried it yet since I don't have this...

I think that when they have been used to having other cats around, it's best to keep it that way.. even if it's a new friend, I'm sure that would help a lot. We might not be used to the "strange" meow because it's targeted at cats instead of us.. but that's just a hunch o' mine When Aris was...

Is she usually allowed in the bathroom ? Aris does this in my bedroom when he manages to sneak in.. I suspect him to be shouting: "Look at me ! I got in ! You couldn't keep me out ! I rule supremely !" The acoustic thing is also possible, though, since I have a lower ceiling inthere.. and...

Looking up some things about cats I landed here a few weeks ago. Since then, I've spent hours and hours just browsing around, enjoying all your great stories about your cats. I've had lots of laughs, and I'm pleased to see people helping each other out with the problems they encounter. I've...

Orion sometimes chases his own tail and his friend's as well, although that friend doesn't like that too much Usually he starts chasing his own when he's lying around somewhere.. really funny
