Donna the bet was a Draw so we spent the money along with a bunch of other money on toys for them!
Now that I know it is all PTs fault that we went insane and adopted these 2 bringing our Kittie total to 6 :eek: I shall have to require Oodles of adoration to them as befits moving continents!
As for Pics I will post them this upcoming week as I only finished one cameras film up and that was on Moonlight :rolleyes:
Ah - and you have to attach the wide-angle lens of course.
Or record an IMAX video??? :D

ROFL yes but I told IO that the camera subtracts 10 pounds................the dog went into fits of giggles so he knows I was lying. I made the dog go play at Ladys' house, maybe Lady will teach him manners towards guests!(he loves the cat already but laughing at his weight is not nice!)
wow going through all the paperwork we just realized that Moonlight was adopted out UNSPAYED! soooooooooooooo we will call vet in AM and make an appt! I thought all animals had to be altered to be released?
LOL. Sounds like something I would do. I can't wait to see the pics. My deaf white little by I just got from Utah is named Caspurr too.

CATASTROPHES
Cats Anonymous
Note: These twelve steps of those faced with CATS (Cat Adoration Totally Syndrome) are still a work in progress. They don't seem to be doing much for those with CATS, and should therefore be viewed as a work in progress by those crazy few who wish to relinquish their grip on CATS.
The Twelve Steps of CATS
1. We admitted we were powerless under the rule of our cats - that our lives had become periods of servitude interspersed with frequent chances to devise new playthings for our "owners".
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than our cats could restore us to our sanity (Of course this isn't true! Who could believe it?!?)
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him (but since our cats are God already, this step was completed in the very beginning... this should have been Step 1!)
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our household, and still can't figure out how the dead bird appeared on our pillow, the kitty litter in the water-dish, and the cat-hair on everything!
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs - but since all three were CATS members already, we ended up swapping anecdotes for the rest of the night!
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character, but decided against it when that furball climbed into our lap again.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings - so we could better entertain our feline friends.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all - no matter how much all those tins of gourmet cat food cost.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when they wouldn't deign to be scratched or petted.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it to our cats... who knew it from the start and had been telling us all along.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with cats as we understood them, praying only for knowledge of their will for us and the power to carry that will out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to those faced with CATS and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Newcomers are not asked to accept or follow these Twelve Steps in their entirety if they feel unwilling or unable to do so.
(Note: This parody is based on the original twelve steps of alcoholics anonymous, which can be found at the Alcoholics Anonymous website. In no way, shape, or form should this be looked on as a slur against those with a drinking problem. Warning! Actually following these steps will only make you more popular with the cats around you, and should not be attempted by those who wish to be anything other than cat people for the rest of their lives.)

OH MY! I am beyond help as I have always believed in dual god/dess so I am equally subserviant to the canine half! ::wails :: I was at one point a very well educated (5 count them 5 Doctorates a PhD and several B.S. degrees) I am now reduced to perusing sales for kitty litter and knuckle bones! I once gave lectures to students that hung on my every word, I now prattle to hear myself talk as the cats yawn and consider it background noise, I lay down the law and they promptly shred it. I repeat the laws and the glance at the dogs who carry it to them to re shred it. I feel accomplishment when People say how well trained the dogs are. I smile knowing that they have no Idea how well trained I AM. The dogs and cats in their wisdom continue to show us off to new members of all specie and make us do our tricks (look at this if I meow like sooooooooo she will hurry over and scratch on command!) (if i whine in this tone she will abandon he knitting and walk me I don't have to go I just wanted to see the neighbors)
sigh
It's ok, Kym...I have a BA with a Drama major, so I was trained to be owned by cats.
Worked in a boarding kennel for over two years and scrubbed and sanitized a LOT of boxes!
At least we can bear our lot, er, intelligently.... :D

So life just keeps getting better and better, eh? :DQuote:

Wouldn't you have to attach it to kitty's feet, butter side down?Quote:

Karen I think that is why Jasper is looking for the largest loaf of french bread............................................. ...Io on the other hand has decided that if found he will request French toast from it with bacon :eek: He is settling in fone and seems to like his name (thinking of having him watch Hitchikers guide to the Universe) Moonlight on the other hand is playing hard to get Kitty (just enough time out from under the bed so that we really want to play and talk and then zoom! while smiling to herself :rolleyes: (it is funny to watch Jas on all fours talking to her and feeding her tidbits and cajoling her I think he will do better with flowers and chocolate :p )
Ok, if you put the toast on the cat's back butter side up and drop the cat, the cat will try to land on it's feet. The buttered toast will try to land on the butter side. The effect will be that neither can land, and they will hang in the air, rotating gently, uanble to reach the ground as we bat them about the house like balloons. :D
Stop! Please!! My cheeks are hurting and my neighbors are calling the police. They haven't heard so much laughter from this apartment in years! I'm sure they think I've gone insane.
Now I'll try to go to sleep, but I know I'll be dreaming of a big, orange cat with a huge slice of buttered bread stuck to his back floating around looking for the Door Into Summer. Petronius Arbiter will rescue him and fall in love with Moonlight and everyone will live happily ever after.
Falling in love with Moonlight is not an option our little grey girl Iris has claimed him (she is the tiniest of the rescued ferals) and he seems to be partial towards her(really quite sweet as she is quite the priss) she sings and chirps telling him all the good places to find hidey holes (he cant fit) the schedule of treats, the times the cocker is crated so he can annoy her easier :rolleyes: Kind of like a kid charged with showing the new kid in school the ropes......................................what is kinda strange though is the male kitten wants to be friends in the worst way! kind of like yay another boy thank heaven! and Io gives him this lidless intent stare like he is an infectious bug..............poor Hyacinth his sister rule and no support from a big guy :(
(hehehehehe)
well it is offical ...........(sad music of choice here) The animals have now taken over. We were offered 1000.00 (no joke) for our vizla (we don't have one. The "vizla" is a natural eared red dobe neutered no less) however Rusty has heard his value and has now made all the furries understand he "could" support them. I am in the process of copying the vet bills for last month to poke a hole in his thinking.......................................... .................
spay for goofy 218.00
antibiotics 21.00
pain meda 12.00
his thyroids meds 17.00
his vetting for bloodwork 112.00
raw food for Rusty 209.00
Kibble for goofy 55.00
Cat litter 32.00
Shall I go on????????????????????????????????????????????
