I tried May 16 -- no Frisky on my machine! Maybe I'm not loosing it, but my computer might be. But if Frisky was May 16, why is he showing up as June 21? Catwoman, can you help? Can anyone?

On the Cat home page, instead of clicking on Pet Talk to get here, click on "Previous Cats", then click "by date" under "May" and then click on Frisky.

If someone "revives" an old thread by posting a reply to it, it comes back up to the top. Sometimes a newbie or someone who has been away from the board (vacation, busy schedules, etc.) is trolling through old posts, will reply, and lo and behold, and old thread looks new! This can really get confusing when it's one of the Cats of the Day that has been "revived". You're not the first to be confused by this.

Thank you four feline house for the explanation. I had gone back to previous cats to look for Frisky without success. But now I know why he showed up on June 21. Sorry for the trouble, but I guess we "new members" need to learn the ropes. I'll look for Frisky again and see if I can get into the Previous Cats spot now (I've had trouble with it before when trying to look back at earlier kitties, so it may be Bill Gates doing bad things to me.) Thanks again.

No prob, glad to help.

Talking of being confused, can one of my American friends tell me what "mooch" means as I'd love to know. I've not often heard that expression here.

Thanks!

To Tebaldi:

I think "mooch" is a verb meaning "to freeload"...unless anybody out there has a better definition!

[catwoman]

Mooch can be a verb, like Daisy says ... but can also be a noun to describe the individual who performs the action of "mooching." That individual would be a "mooch" or a "moocher."

"Mooching" can mean anything from living off someone else's money, to begging for food from your two-legger.

Hello to all of the "wonderers" I am Frisky's owner! The way we like to describe "mooching" is by Frisky wanting or begging for our food. He's a wonderful cat!!!

Oh, you're awful pretty.....for a boy kitty!

Have fun on your day!

Frisky is a grand kitty. All boy kitty's are cute though! He looks like he could be on a commercial for Friskys!! You think????

[alice]

Well, with the cooperation of Bill Gates and all my friends at Microsoft, I've finally been able to see adorable Frisky. He is certainly a cutie and he is probably a very successful moocher. Don't you just love these international conversations? Where else could a cat lover from Australia learn words like mooch? How about schlep? After all you have to schlep the stuff before it can be mooched!
