Anonymous Unregistered	My husband routinely places his keys on the staircase next to the front door. Periodically, I place my keys there as well. One morning he grabbed the wrong set and because we each keep a clicker and key for the others' vehicle on our keyrings, he didn't notice until he arrived at work and was locked out of his office, etc. He promptly called to explain how I may have a similar fate awaiting me at my office since I was left with his set, but how it was my fault anyway for leaving my keys where his would be. Apparently I missed the ceremony where he marked the step as his territory. Grrr... those loveable hubbys!

Yeah, as I kid I was continually losing the homework and schoolbooks I needed to start working on after school. Usually around dinner time my mom would find them on a shelf in the fridge.

I like to think I'm still somewhere between "kid" and "older" (I'm 29). Depending on who you talk to, though, I must be one or the other. _________________________ Me, Type A?

When my older cat was a kitten I shut my door also because she loved to jump on your feet when you moved in your sleep. My son slept with houseslippers on for three months during the heat of the summer. _________________________ My Opinions Only

My sweetie and I share a full size bed (it's an antique I just haven't given up yet) with two cats. One on my head, one on his feet. He's learned to love them LOL If he didn't...he'd get the boot I leave the water running in a little used bathroom sink for the little brats. It won't keep them from slurping from my water glass (they also like tea) so I guard those. I also can't bring flowers home because they think they're evil beings and tackle the arrangements EVERY time. While it's bad to lose the roses...there's nothing funnier than seeing a kittie with a long stemmed rose in his mouth (Don Juanish). _________________________ Dawn Coursey VP/CRA Queen CRA Rating is in...Oh who cares...I'm home with the baby.

Whenever someone lovely buys me flowers, I have to lock the bouquet in the bathroom, otherwise my cats think that the bouquet is a snack! Can't say I get to enjoy the flowers, but my bathroom sure looks nice! LOL! _________________________ My opinions are not to be construed as legal advice.

I also have a lamp without a cord because the older one chewed it through when she was a kitten. I will have two crying babies this weekend. I'm painting and I'll have to shut them up in a bedroom.

I must be mean as well, I won't let my guy cat in the bedroom at night, because like all of the other little kitties mentioned, he just has to knock over the bedside glass of water. He is quiet all night long until the the alarm goes off, then he starts howling outside the door. So even if I hit the Snooze button, I can't go back to sleep.! But I love him anyway. _________________________ Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please. - Mark Twain

HRH Dawnie Power Poster Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 7,353 Anchorage Alaska	Heh Heh, Well if he's worth it, you should probably keep him then Autumn Glad to know you all experience the flower thing too! My previous kitties (lost in the divorce ) never did that so I just thought these two were nut cases _________________________ Dawn Coursey VP/CRA Queen CRA Rating is in...Oh who cares...I'm home with the baby.

The cats eat the leaves, then throw them up on the carpet later. Then, of course the plants look awful because the leaves are all torn up or have teeth holes in them. . . . What is the life expectancy of an indoor cat??? Just kidding - we will probably just do without the plants until the girls have used up their nine lives (they will be 10 on 4/20). _________________________ Responses are mine, and are no reflection of my employer.

Kansayaku Diamond Poster Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 1,454 metsuretsu	I chose to start growing catnip in order to tame the beasts. I have three cats. One of them has an internal clock that she has set with my alarm clock so there is no sleeping in on weekends at my house. One is an addict (catnip). The other one is mentally disabled so she gets away with pretty much anything. _________________________ I have many opinions; some are good, some are bad, and some don't contradict.

My hubby always wonders what I have done with his socks ...says he puts them in the laundry and they seem to disappear ...even when he does the laundry, wants to know what I've done with his socks! Drives me crazy! Doesn't help that it is usually 5:30 AM when he is searching. LOL _________________________ "Go, Dog. Go!" ~ P.D. Eastman
