A Totally stupid pointless thread

And we love them anyway!

Yes, hopelessly I'm afraid. I did however get some battery operated candles that are very pretty and look quite real. I miss flowers though, fake ones don't cut it for me. Last month we were given helium balloons and Lily hid upstairs until we locked them in the basement, weird. I thought she was sick but luckily Shawn figured it out. I shouldn't complain, my cats are the best.

I can beat that - I once worked in an office with a Sheltie who was afraid of the cellophane a large poinsettia gift was encased in. It came when his owners - my bosses - were away, and we wanted them to see how pretty it looked, but Tyler barked incessantly - until we shut the plant in an office so he could not see it.

That is strange!! The barking helped you figure out the problem so you could fix it. Cats are harder, I wouldn't have figured it out myself about the balloons but Shawn took the time and noticed she would only go far enough down the stairs that she could see the wicked and deadly balloons. Then she would go no further and just gaze at them with dread, poor thing. Hope you are enjoying yourself some summer moments Karen!

Hot as heck here lately. I read somewhere that pets like cold water when it's hot so I put some ice cubes in Madame Lily's glass, she drinks from a glass on the kitchen island. Anyhowww... afterwards she kept sticking her tongue out as far as she could and shaking her head for about five minutes. I believe she got old fashioned brain and tongue freeze. I felt guilty for laughing but couldn't help it, LMAO. Think I'll just give her cold water from now on. It was hilarious, I am a bad mummy 路‍♀️

I used to put an ice cube in Cassie's water dish on very hot days. She would use her front paw to push it out of the dish and onto the floor, then lick the water off her paw.

Hugs and kisses to Lily!
