Yes, I've rescued four as well. Your Big Boy is a very handsome fellow, btw.

Have you ever used baking powder instead of baking soda while baking? I have. Blech.

No, but I've done the opposite, using soda instead of powder to make Mississippi Mud Cookies, which turned out to be quite good, mildly bitter with sweetness, topped by super-sweet icing.

Yes, Big Boy is magnificent! And loveable, too. And strong, like bull.

Ever lose a cat to a predatory animal? I have, quite a lot, to coyotes. (Everyone stays indoors, now.)

Yes I have, to a racoon. After talking with vets and others it was down to a racoon, because there was no mutilation and he died on the spot with his belly ripped open, no hair around liek a fight at all, nothing disturbed. I still mourn.

Have you ever leash trained a cat?

Winchester · Jan 24, 2017

Big Boy is just gorgeous!

Oh heavens yes. Banshee, BooBoo, and Ms. Pepe were all leash-trained. Get the leashes out, get the collars out, and the three of them would fight to see who got out the door first!

Have you ever bought people food at the store, simply because you know one of your furkids loved the stuff? (We regularly buy Frosted Mini Wheats because Tabby loves them so much. And we buy Cheez-its for Mollipop....and well, for me, too.)

OUCH, didn't think a raccoon would go after a cat, but I guess they could. They're certainly big enough.
Yes, I did. My first kitty the Painintheass, I trained back in 1977. He didn't like it, though he grew used to it. He tried to lay down and make me drag him, till I dragged him through a puddle . . . .

Once he got used to it, he walked with me all over the place.

Ever watch a movie that made no sense? I saw Plan 9 From Outer Space once. Wow.

hbunny · Jan 24, 2017

Yes, plenty of times! One I remember wasting an hour and a half of my life was Open Water. Supposed to be about a couple that got stranded on a scuba diving trip by the tour boat. It really told nothing of their story, just an hour and a half of them floating in the ocean.

Do you enjoy watching animated movies? Either children's or adult animated movies? I can watch "Up" over and over again!

Some, yes. I've never seen "UP" but I get a charge out of "Jungle Book" once in a while or (of course!) "The Aristocats." Everybody wants to be a cat . . . .

Ever watch "The Flintstones"? God help me, they're so topical sometimes you want to scream.

I do not like boneless, skinless chicken breast but buy it for the furkids when Publix has it BOGO. I wrap and freeze the breast halves and either boil or bake them and they have it shredded warm as a topper for their meals or as a treat. I also buy them Boar's Head low sodium turkey and chicken breast for the same reason.

Sure. A long time ago. I wouldn't watch it now but give me a Spongebob marathon and I'm a happy girl

I love watching reruns of old shows on TV Land or Hallmark Channel- or I did when I had TV service. Do you?

Winchester · Jan 24, 2017

Yes. Both channels. I watch The Golden Girls and Frasier on Hallmark. I watch Reba and Everybody Loves Raymond on TV Land.

I am not a Reba fan in the slightest; I don't care for her music. But I started watching the show a few months ago and just kept up with it.

I watch MASH on METV. Wish I could find Designing Women and Murphy Brown again.

Actually, I probably watch more of the older shows on those channels than I do regular TV anymore.

I don't watch I Love Lucy or the Beverly Hillbillies or anything like that.

I love to listen to the old classic rock from the 1970s. Do you?

Oh, yes. Classic rock rocks. Among much else.

I used to watch "Soul Train" back in the 1970s. Anyone else admit to same?

hbunny · Jan 24, 2017

YES! I used to sit in front of the tv with a cassette tape recorder and record songs from Soul Train and American Bandstand both. I loved those shows!!

Anybody else have satellite radio so they can listen to their own genre? I have it in the car strictly for "Hair Nation" "Classic Vinyl" and the 60's on 6, 70's on 7!! My hubby is continually listening to Hair Nation. You don't get to hear that music on the regular radio at all anymore

No satellite radio, but lots of YouTube Videos.

So, anyone (aside from me) admit to wasting too much time on YouTube, watching song videos (extra points if they have cats in them)?

moorspede · Jan 25, 2017

Yes, to the thousands of song vids on youtube but also cat vloggers like Chris & Eve and everything else British Shorthair. For the music, I especially like it if the dancing is dorky, and the band is smiling. Oh, and if the fashion is questionable.

Have you ever gone to see a cover band!

yes LED ZEPAGAIN

and DORXX [Van Halen]

Ever see Johnny Cash live? I did twice in the 1980s.

Primula · Jan 25, 2017

No

Ever owned a horse?

Yes.

Have you ever fallen off one?

Primula · Jan 25, 2017

No.

Ever been to a racetrack?

hbunny · Jan 25, 2017

Yes, a horse track, it was fun! I just wanted to go pet all the horses, but of course, we could only walk around and look at some of them. I think they have many more luxuries than my house does just in their quarters.

Car racetrack, no. I just have no interest. Even here in the land of Nascar. I can't bear it.

Have you ever ridden a mule? I have, many times. I love them more than horses actually.

Never ridden anything with four feet.

Ever cook wild cottontail bunny rabbit? Good!

moorspede · Jan 25, 2017

We had another uncontrolled release of the rabbit calicivirus late last year so hopefully nobody is eating wild rabbit here including our cats. I will have to say no, I've been a vegetarian since I was allowed to cook.

Have you ever eaten mock chicken?
