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.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Maybe once she sees that Gilda isn't being hurt, she will be more likely to let you pet her.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
She's now meowing while drinking her water. (She has to mutter in between sips.)And they say cats are smart... (I say that while laughing trying to picture it...)
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).

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
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.

My girls don't meow at all. They sort of chirp at each other while playing, but they are vocally very quiet. They do like to thunder around on the hardwood floors though.

I've read that cats that grow up in the wild never meow as adults. But for human-raised cats - the more they are talked to as kittens, the more they'll meow as adults. It's like they figure out us humans are vocal creatures or something.
Also, certain breeds are "chatty" which is a euphamism for "won't shut the fuck up." Siamese, Orientals, Cornish Rex, etc....
