Awwwww . . . that's the sweetest thing I've seen in quite a while!

Too cute!

Today Marijke made an appearance while I was trying to find a setting for crappy indoor light

Beckham's typical Sunday afternoon pose

Do any of you get a catsitter? If so, do you know what is standard in terms of a "tip" at Christmas? I've heard that some people leave $100! Crikey, last year I left mine a box of chocolates!

 

[Liesje]

Do you pay the catsitter? When I dogsat, I never expected tips because I was paid. If they didn't like my rate, they could find someone else, and if I didn't want to accept their offer, I could just say no and not expect to be tipped additionally.

My little sister is catsitting. I think having full run of my house, our other car, high speed internet, and cable TV is "payment" enough for an 18 year old! I'll probably leave her some money for food though.

I'm pretty sure Beckham was drunk dialing my mother in law last night at 1am. She called Phil and asked why he kept calling her at 1am. The thing is, if he sleep walks, we wake up b/c the dogs sleep in our room and get all riled up at any sense of movement. We have no memory of being awak at 1am. He said the phone was on the kitchen table. I'm pretty sure Beckham made those three calls...

Are you kidding me?????????????????


but how???????????

Set up a webcam

There was a clip on TV once about a cat that dialed 911 when it was choking on its collar. And another of a cat dialing 911 when its owner was in trouble. Cats are smart

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

now that is..... HELLA SMART...!

 

[Liesje]

LOL, Beckham is not nearly that altruistic. He only uses smarts for his own personal gain.

Ah, perhaps that's what it is - perhaps their catsitters weren't getting paid the rest of the year. I do indeed pay her. Thanks - looks like she'll be getting some more chocolates again this year!

Have you ever heard a cat let out a frightening scream? Chloe did just that today. I wasn't watching where I was going and I stomped all over the poor thing!!

 

[Sicy]

Aw you might have stepped on her paw or tail.

So I moved one of Zoey & Saki's cat cat trees from the bedroom to the living room and you would SWEAR that it was brand new. They havent left it all night. It's so funny how if you move stuff around they have to go sniff and investigate, like its something new. I'm always like 'It's not new kids I just MOVED it'

 

[Liesje]

Hehe, animals are so contextual and it's working in your favor! Right now it's working against me - I'm trying to teach Kenya a new trick ("mat" = go to your mat, lie down, and don't move until I say so) and I have to keep moving the mat all over b/c hey, a mat next to the couch just isn't the same mat next to the desk! Argh!

My mother in law e-mailed me to remind me to ask Beckham not to call her again tonight!

 

[U2democrat]

Poor Chloe. We put up the tree tonight and so she stayed hidden for awhile and is still walking around like something could attack her at any minute

It won't be long before she's sleeping under it.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I did. She won't go near me now. lol

Jack has been like that ever since I moved. He's been playing with this scratcher that has a ball in a little track around the outside. He pushes the ball, then hides behind the TV until it almost stops, then dives on it. I heard him attacking it in the middle of the night. He's seemed almost like a kitten again this last month or so--I think now that he's almost done with his bartonella antibiotic, he's a new kitty!

Ok, I have something that's sure to cheer everyone up:

A friend of mine sent me this pic of her kitty....

Her kitty??? Are you sure? This picture was in a lecture of mine on a slide last week!! It was a lecture on Forensic Medicine, and unless your friend is a lady by the name of Therese Chand, then I'm utterly confused!

That is the strangest thing!

Phoebe, before playing with my hair.

CHOMP!

I remember seeing that too. The one when the cat was choking... very amazing!

I wish I had a pic of isabella giving me kisses with her lil nose... she loves to come sit on my chest at night before I go to bed and puts her face/nose up to me and gives me a lil kiss.. I that.. She can be quite affectionate when she wants to be.

One of these is just begging to be your next avatar. I vote the first one.

My parents' cat Leon (who I have some pictures of--I can't find the cable for my camera, though!) loves to chew on my mom's hair when she has gel in it.

Wow, lol. She sent it to me saying it's her kitty. She may have got this somewhere else, but I do know my friend has a Siamese kitten though...
