OK, I have a ravenous beast in the house and I can't take her waking me up to feed her. At 3 am she'll start making all sorts of noise to try and get me up, stick her paw in my face, the works. So, can anyone recommend a good electronic feeder? I'll still do the morning and evening feedings...

Sancha is a ravenous beast, and I don't know what to make of it. I feed fixed amounts in a.m. and p.m. for both Obi and Sanch (Innova dry). They both are at a good weight, except that Sancha is a tad plump. So, although I know she is well fed, she acts as if she is starving. Before we...

http://media.ebaumsworld.com/wmv/ratperson.wmv I really can't describe this, just go to the link and watch the movie clip. It's from the show Scare Tactics, which is like Candid Camera except they try and scare you with their pranks. I can't quite believe that the dude fell for this . . . ..

I've read all the info on inappropriate peeing/pooping problems so I don't actually expect new advice; I'm just hoping for sympathy. We got Sancha from the shelter a few months ago and had no problems until the week before our Alaska trip. I got up in the morning to get ready for work and...

My husband and I went to Alaska for 10 days, and just got back last weekend. We had a great time! I've posted some pictures from our trip at photobucket.com. The album to put into the "Search" field is ObiHawk.

OK, for reasons known only to heaven, two young adults (18 and 19) went into our local SPCA, and stole a kitten. In order to do so, they had to sprint out of the building and knock over one of the shelter workers trying to stop them. They were caught soon after, the kitten was returned and is...

So, we have a new female cat who is a few months younger than Obi. The introductions went fairly well, and proceeded fairly quickly (all on their part, I hasten to add!). There was some hissing through the door and what-not, but no real overt aggressive behavior like trying to attack each...

My parents informed me that Matilda, my mother's Siamese, has been diagnosed with chronic renal failure. Matilda (whom we call Bat, because of the giant dark ears) is 15. It was discovered when they went in for routine vaccinations. Also, my husband and I, and my brother and his wife, were...

So, can anyone think of examples where the book was bad, but the movie made out of it was good? Usually, there's a great book, someone tries to make it into a movie, and they do a terrible job (or at least a disappointing job). My sister-in-law and I were talking about that, and both mentioned...

OK, I have an album at photobucket.com, under the name ObiHawk. Head on over, if interested. We had a great time in DV, and took lots of photos. The lighting was not ideal for some (the sun and I were pointing at each other), but most of them turned out well enough. Also, I have about 7 more...

How many people here have a tradition of watching "The Quiet Man" on St. Patrick's Day? I know lots watch "Darby O'Gill and the Little People", too, but I was surprised to discover that lots of people I know watch "The Quiet Man". It's such a funny movie! It wouldn't be so funny if they made...

I have to warn you that I'm running out! I only have two more that I think will take any time to solve. I have several more that should be solved quite rapidly. So, the first of the more involved ones is: The music stopped. She died. Explain.

As some know from other posts where I mentioned it, Obi has become interested in water. It started with him playing with the bath water when I was in the tub, and a few days ago he started getting in the toilet and splashing it about. Both of those are self contained so it wasn't bothering me...

The Dilbert home page came out with D.U.H a few months ago, Dilbert's Ultimate House. In the DUH house, there was a cat room to mimic the bathroom. This got me thinking: given that so many people own cats, why aren't more homebuilders at least incorporating little nooks or other such places...

I'm going nuts. Obi (who was semi-feral) is turning into a total sweetie, who purrs and cuddles and is a great young cat but . . . . his previous history has made him careless of tender human skin. His attempting to "play" with my hands and feet I have slowly been training him out of by the...

A man went to a party. The man drank some punch from the punch bowl and joined the party, but ended up leaving early. The next day he discovered that everyone else who drank punch at the party had died. Why didn't he?

A man pushed his car. When he reached a hotel he stopped, at which point he knew he was bankrupt. How?

A man is lying dead in a field. Next to him there is an unopened package. There is no other creature in the field. How did he die? OK, let's see which of you gets to be the smarty-pants this time!! Which reminds me, that was my best halloween costume (I love word-play): I taped the candies...

OK, this had better take a little longer Anthony and Cleopatra are lying dead on the floor of a villa in Egypt. Nearby is a broken bowl. How did they die?

A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out. Huh? OK, so if you're interested I have a clarification for the "short" vs. "midget" vs. "dwarf" issue. The word midget is only used...
