I guess it’s like Gremlins. Don’t get them wet.
The new sofa and loveseat arrived … not only on time, but ten minutes early. Warrior Princess has taken to it. Clueless Wonder wanders hopelessly around it, looking for his old, familiar territory. Sorry babe, gotta go with progress. ACfH is locked in the bathroom so I don’t accidently-on-purpose drop something heavy on her while I rearrange the living room.
These aren’t going nearly as quickly as I’d like. I’m ending up going through everyone’s diary to remind myself of their interests and stories, so I can ask appropriate questions. I’ve only finished three sets of questions so far, for the first three people who asked. I’ll continue writing up questions for people in the…
If it’s Monday, then it must be time for the MELD update. Looks like I’m not the only one who’s moved up in the past few weeks. I’m hanging onto my 19 by mere fingernails, and will probably drop back into the next group with the next set of blood work submitted. Liver: 424 Liver…
This is a large and graphics intensive entry. Apologies to those viewing with a slow modem dial-up, but I just couldn’t face doing all the extra coding that thumbnails entail. Two weeks ago The Socialist and I visited Frederick, Maryland for the weekend. Yes, that Frederick, the one that they caught the snipers just outside…
The message board I help administer has suddenly taken an interest in Dear Diary. I had expected a few of the more adventuresome of our crew to go exploring here, but I did not expect that this place would suddenly turn half a dozen of them into Diary Junkies. Half of me is amused, the…
My office paper shredder is small, the economy model of economy models. More than three pieces of paper at a time risks a jam. Six pieces of paper at a time ensures one. So by twos and threes I feed my professional life from 1999 through 2001 into the confetti maker. The paper is mostly…
Things I’ve learned in the past week: – Cat don’t like getting pins poked into their ears– Cat ears bruise pretty easily– Cat ears only bleed about 25% of the time after being poked– A cat that has endured a full week of ear-poking without even once thinking about biting the hand that pokes it…

Wahhh, WP is so beautiful!!! Her fur looks so smooth… Is it?
I have to put my Retriever on a lil’ diet. Do you have any good suggestions for the food I should give her during the diet? She’s not active at all, sleeps most of the day but goes on a longer walk once a day and a couple of shorter walks.
I find 15 toys / things to play with in the picture :).
cur
hehehe at cativerse
your babies are adorable
Hey there. I love to see pictures in my DD friend’s diaries.
Thanks for reading me. I’m sorry I hadn’t had much time to read you, or anyone else, for that matter. I’m trying to get somewhat caught up today if D1 don’t wake up and make me feel guilty for being on-line.
You’ve been so loyal to comment and I really appreciate every comment you leave me too.
Love,
Star
Catzooks! A veritable feline frenzy!
I count 15 (includes table legs and basket) PLUS whatever is in the basket – how long is a piece of string? ^..^

Well, 10 things just laying around, including the socks, all which can be used for cat toys. *Definitely* the blinds can be counted. Pain the the BUTT! Noisy and distracting and everything else! The books or CDs or records or whatever they are stacked on the shelf make good claw sharpeners (even if they don’t have claws – mine don’t and still sharpen like they do). Of course the lamp cords. Im sure the basket could be tipped over and they would find lots more cat toys……..
Hmmm….am I missing anything?
everything!
ps. that poor little soggy mouse…
one of my kitties likes to headbutt the water dispenser so that she can watch the waves….
Your cats are beautiful Salamander! I’d try to guess how many cat toys are in the photo but it’s that time of day again where the sun in shining on my monitor.
Good to hear that things went well with the sisters.
lol@franny
Isn’t it funny how we start to think in terms of talking like we think our animals would? (Hope that makes sense?) I do the same with mine, especially my dog who I imagine speaks a bit like Scooby Doo (in that cartoon.)
Btw, left you some pics on my March 9th entry
My god! They’ve eaten the furniture!
Sal,
{{{you’re killing me}}}}
Poor mouse.
I could not answer how many cat toys were in the picture as I was unable to determine the number of items you have on the shelves. I suppose the answer would be, everything in the picture is a cat toy.
;^P
Alli
Nice :o)
now there’s a couch! gorgeous color too!!
Loved the pictures.[album 25074 wavey.gif]
I saw at least 14 toys…
The basket, the cord, the curtains…
Those count in my cat’s world.
:o)
Oh, yeah, one more thing…
Are you sure you didn’t photograph my cat’s water dish and pass it off as your own?
Oh, wait…
Not only are there mice, but there are fuzzy hairties in both the food and water…and at one point, there was a tiny stuffed duck…
And, a wind-up hamster. :o)
my answer is the same with allimom. cats won’t caculate and every thing must be their toy!
/Lumin/
It was hard for me to stay on my chair after that gremlins comment. Just too funny!
as always, i just love the pictures of your cats. if the warrior princess hadn’t gotten the water bottle, how much further would she have gotten into cw’s food bowl.
love the new furniture!!!!!
oh, and like many above, i’m assuming that entire room, all of the other rooms and their contents, and the humanoids that the cats share their space with are all cat toys
My dog Ringo thinks like a cat. Anything in sight is a potential toy.
Wonderful pics. Man i missed this!!
