Only once. Then it would be ded.

Yeah, it would need to come with extra buzzy bits, because they would be smashed against the wall every day.

Clocky, OTOH, might be useful.

Clocky is an alarm clock for people who have trouble getting out of bed. If you hit the snooze button, Clocky will roll off of the nightstand, fall to the floor, and run around the room, searching for a place to hide.

I swear you are suspiciously obsessed with how to help non-morning people.

It's because I pity you. Did you follow the link to the bed that gets progressively more uncomfortable?

If I could combine clocky with roomba I'd make a mint.

I know of good vets in Park Slope, Bklyn; Northern Manhatten/Riverside, Bronx, and Jackson Heights, Queens.

Oz's brain is just a little bit too small, huh?

Devi's actually friendlier to Mister Kitty after he's been boarded. Then she remembers who he is and goes back to her usual standoffish, bitch self.

Ooh, msbelle, that reminds me -- my bro and his partner have two cats. Anyone have vet recommendations? I have no idea where exactly they'll be living in NYC, but anything closer than Boston would be of the good.

I liked the one I went to on the UWS, so if they're up there, I could give more info.

I have acquired the help of 2 friends. YAY friends!

Well, I appreciate it then. I did follow the link to the bed. I am still waiting for someone to buy me this: [link]

Oz is very particular. He hisses at anyone who pets (beyond a certain, unspecified point) him except me, and he wouldn't let me touch him for the first two weeks he was mine.

He actually worries me with how he will react when a child enters the house, but my hope is that, like with me, once he accepts that you are the human in his house he will be good with you.

Wow, I really like the sound of that Sleeptracker. I tend to set my alarm with leeway anyway, so it would be so pleasant to wake up more naturally like that.
