    Yep.. I leave Nickelodeon cartoons on a majority of the time. On vet/rescue shows, Kiki actually gets scared when she hears a dog yelping.

    Well, there is the obvious financial overboard tendencies such as delaying crown work for 3 years now because I can't say no to vet treatments, and there have been many, many in the past several years.

    Then there is routine indigestion from eating dinner over a very large Big Ted cat on my lap. He's there now, in fact, but it's just giving me back ache and arm strain to reach over him to the keyboard. I actually consider this routine but when I think about it, I'm sure there are "normal" people who would scoot him off onto the bed where he'd be perfectly comfortable.

    I'll treat myself to flavored popcorn instead of potato chips, which I prefer, because the cats prefer the popcorn and it's healthier for them.

    It's good to be here and laugh about these things instead of keeping them to yourself because many people would think you were pathetic or crazy.

    Smokey & Maggie prefer to watch CNN while I'm gone. The kitties
    sleep all afternoon anyway, so they don't really care.

    LOL, I did that with RB Angie. She had this cheap ratty stuffy ball that she loved. I had to sew it like 10 times or more, literally.
