PLFXpert 0 #3 April 15, 2008 Quote I have that TI calculator. Stop it right now! This calculator (that I've had for 11 years now) is on my list of favorite things. I'm going to take a photo just so there's no question I'm very serious. Krisanne, his "Zoe'" looks like my Sabre. But, we have a Zoe', too. "Corporal cuddling." That is SO what I do. HEElarious! I don't think I've ever "punished" any other way. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iluvtofly 0 #4 April 15, 2008 I miss having a kitty. Hopefully after I get my finances in check I'll be able to get another kitty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #5 April 15, 2008 I'm still laughing at "corporal cuddling". I thought I invented that. Seriously, I found Sabre dangling from a very nice, very favorite, hand-woven sweater in my closet... He looked so cute. His little claw was stuck. I felt awful for not trimming it earlier. I scooped him up and gave him bunches of kisses--while in-between telling him he was a very bad kitty. I think he learned his lesson. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

happythoughts 0 #6 April 15, 2008 It is amazing, and embarrassing, how accurately that society depicts engineers. Even when being humorous, they are dorks. However, a man with 3 cats has already reconciled himself to a life of singlehood. My one question was the last line on the video, "Unauthorized reproduction is encouraged". Should cats be encouraged to do that? They have a plethora of free time, let's not promote that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was discussing the Simpsons "Spider Pig" episode with a friend and she said she did that with her cat all the time. She has 3 cats. The large male lets her hold him on his back and walk him along the roof in the kitchen. I'm betting there is kittie treats in the kitchen cabinet.

MikeJD 0 #24 April 18, 2008 Quote My favorite was the "cat yodeling" Me too. It reminds me of my own cat who used to spot me coming home and would trot down the street towards me with this long miaow. Because she was running it had the same kind of effect on her voice. Always made me laugh so much. Unfortunately she had to be put to sleep just last week. But when I remember her, that's the thing that will always make me smile the most.
