Ok, I just found three of my sister's sons on Facebook. I'm pondering sending them a message that says, don't know if you would feel weird adding me to your flist, but I wanted to let you know I am here.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

To me the kitteh sounded more indignant ... but I don't have a cat myself, so I may be missing the message.
Our first cat got on the chicken liver diet after the first time we boarded her. We went to the beach for a week and boarded her at a ... well, it wasn't a kennel, but they boarded cats and dogs at their place. We came back and walked into the kitchen/office and saw the woman who ran the place holding our cat on her lap and hand feeding her - with a baby spoon - mashed-up chicken livers. Turned out that she went on a hunger strike when we left her and the ONLY thing she'd eat was the hand-fed chicken livers. Once we got her home she'd reject almost everything else (except the one, expensive, hard to find brand of cat food). Very smart cat.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Persey is weird. She cries in the morning for me to feed her, even if there's still plenty of food in her dish, but she doesn't go for treats. She even turned her nose up at tuna water.
I feed her Iams because they gave us all kinds of free stuff when we adopted her so I'm rewarding them with brand loyalty.

My cat yowls and scratches at things (and threatens to knock things off my night table) until I get up in the morning -- even if there's food in her bowl. What is that about?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
He's bored.

She only gets bored at 6 in the morning?

One of our cats will yowl and/or tap us to wake us up if he's bored. He just wants petting and talking to and then he's cool. The other cat basically doesn't care to be entertained by us and would rather look at birds out the window if she's bored. However, if the foodbowl is empty then she has only one goal in life--making us fill it.
It's on top of the washer by the back door, and last night when J took the dogs for a walk, she sat there when he left, yowling at him. She was in the exact same spot when he got back and started complaining and bapping him with her paw as soon as he opened the door.
