OMG, the Tim Gunn Network bit on Best Week Ever is HILARIOUS. Could I love Tim Gunn any more? Only if he worked down where I go to school and not up in Times Square.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My cat's currently trying to figure out if she should jump on top of the clothes-drying rack. I'm trying to convince her it would be a bad idea, because the clothes are only draped over dowel rods that are too narrow for her to walk on and she'll just slip through them.
She's now meowing while drinking her water. (She has to mutter in between sips.)
Aurelia, that schnauzer looks a lot like my old pet, Boots (a half Schnauzer, half wired haired terrier) that we had when I was a teen. Love the pinning pose!
The medical paperwork says they are close to 10 months. The woman who runs the shelter thinks they are closer to 8 months.
I would probably try to grab and just hold them for a bit once in a while.
Yeah, I'll try that with Gilda. I'm not sure how I'll get ahold of Rosie. She's really fast.

Oh, and maybe give them some Pounce or catnip afterwards for a reward.
Maybe once she sees that Gilda isn't being hurt, she will be more likely to let you pet her.

That's been my approach so far.

That's a good idea. I used treats to get them to come out from under the bed when they were being hidey-cats.

I think today has well and truly kicked my ass. I hurt in lots of places and I suspect it is time for bed. And catching up on the last couple Daily Shows and Colbert Reports.
You have to understand that Amarna only shuts up when she's either stalking the birds outside the window (by hiding behind the curtain) or when she's asleep. Otherwise, it's a constant "MRRROW!!" or at the very least, a whiny mutter. She is the only cat I know of that talks while drinking (not eating, though--she's too much of a chowhound to let her vocal cords get in the way of inhaling her food).
My kitty (Sunshine) is VERY meow-y since he has become a "teenager" and not a kitten. I only hope he does not meow all day while I am at work.

He probably sleeps.
My cat sleeps during the day, and gets up just before I get home from work. I can tell because he adheres to this schedule on my days off too.
