Oh gosh no I would never ever be angry with my cats over something like that. In fact the only time I really get annoyed not angry with them is when they won't let me sleep and when they won't quit fighting with each other...or when Trouble won't stop biting me. *L* They could shred, puke on, pee on or poop on every material thing I own and I would still just love them and try to figure out who was not feeling well. Things can be replaced...living companions can't.

Last night we exchanged the buzzing Phillips TV for a Panasonic. It was a much better one and it was only 20 dollars more. Plus the major bonus is that the vents for heat loss are on the side of the TV rather than the top. YEAH!

I would try feeding them in the carriers and I have always tried to make the carrier a safe place for them however Deirdre becomes very stressed at the sight of them. She goes in them alright but she becomes tense and upset as soon as I get them down. Even if I leave them down for several days and the others are all playing around and in them she will slink and scurry by quickly. But it is a great suggestion. I find that sitting with them while they eat is a good bonding time and reading time...just not a good sleeping time
