3. Hatchet Head just puked on the cellar stairs.
My cat Kamere won't eat.
Molly the girl cat who weighs 3 lbs takes 10 lb shits.
Dusty-the hospice cat, eats and eats and eats and never stops eating.

I need a vacation from these cats.

5. Interesting...
One cat eats for three,another shits for three and then I have to conclude

that Kamere is the one who's in charge of storing the fat ? Therefore it's a

perfect example of symbiosis. :rofl:

8. Minnie brought me a live roach once.
Very lovingly placed it right at my feet, where it promptly ran across one of them.

Did I mention my one unconquerable phobia is roaches, and that every other fear I've managed to squash seems to come out at just the slightest sight of a roach? Minnie found that out the hard way. She seemed very hurt by my reaction.

And don't be posting no pictures just to gross me out, neither. Part of my fear came from a brother who used to love to drop them on me when I wasn't expecting it.

16. Ah...Big Red was a 'roacher'.
They were his favorites.
Once, there was a roach on the wall.
Miz t. picked up Big Red and held him near it.
SWIPE!
He got it!
;-)
GOOD kitty!

17. Heh! You've got real roaches where you are, too.
Them big kind I grew up around, look like narwhals or something.

9. Ha! Ace used to bring us full grown ones.
He was a Might Hunter, that cat was.
Come walking across the lawn with one in his jaws.
Head dragging on one side and tail on the other.
Squirrel was almost as big as the cat.

One night, after I had turned in and was watching TV in bed, he hopped up on my chest and deposited a comatose mouse.
I put the mousey outside and it was gone the next morning.
I guess it either resuscitated or was devoured.
;-)

13. I found a half devoured mouse in one of the cats stools in the litter box
a few weeks ago. It's mayhem around here.

14. Domestic cats are not too far removed from their jungle brothers.
If they were big enough to eat you, they would.
Miz t. was also horrified with our cats' kills.
I said "It's what they do."
:shrug:

22. We all (me, Mr Gray and the 4 cats) stood staring at it for minutes before Mr G
finally grabbed a paper towel and picked up the poor little bastid and brought him outside.

24. Yeah, it's the same cat.
Socks aka Hatchet Head.

His head has healed up but I saw him slip on ice today and I couldn't stop laughing. And yet, he brings me gifts....knowing I laugh at him.
