Live link above. A pal now flattens the toilet-paper roll somewhat before putting it on the axle, and that keeps the cats from unrolling and shredding too much at once. I'm sure it's more boring now, than when a well-places swat would spin the roll and cascade heaps of paper. Nesting instinct? Perhaps it's more like catching a prey that still flutters, so needs finishing off before the feast can begin sans interruption. Oh, happy surprise! Live link above.

Reka Mao, Siamese mix. 16-KImmy, Siamese mix. tragically young-Rudy Patootie, age 8, lung cancer. He spent his first 6 months in a home with multiple tobacco smaokers. Eeaoo-age 2, unknown virus which she probably got from her mother and it was dormant in between. And now I have Lydia, doing fine so far at 6. I think my dog's been reading this thread. I cought her chewing razor blades, though she was unhurt and had not got the paper wrapper off. She loves to eat paper. Yes, eat. Not just chew.

The first lived 22 years, the second seventeen. I think calicos (calicoes?) are a species unto themselves. That’s interesting, little gator, about the life spans – I’m on my third calico.

Almost all(I can't think of an exception) the cats who reached age 20 were spayed females. and most were calico or Siamese. My own record is Little Kitty, the stray who got a lame name cause we weren't planning to keep her. BY the time we changed our minds she wouldn't answer to anything else. She was a silver tabby and white Persian mix, and made it to 19. She had extra toes, and between that and the fluff had enormous feet depsite having a healthy weight of 6 lbs. She was fat at 7.5 lbs. She had an unpredicable attitude, sweet cuddly purrs that would change ot an attack with no warning. and a mostly white face with huge eyes. We think she was Bette Davis in a former life. Plus I found her in an alley, so she was a genuine alley cat. About feline lifespan-I used to work for a vet.

The rest of you must be so used to hearing her speak that it didn't leap for you. The 17 yeard old seriously Fierce bad cat is sitting at my side, ready to leap on anything that moves. Here's to cat people! Many paws to you! Now I am seriously jealous, because obviously the one thing that leaped out at me was the sound of Alison’s voice, so gentle, so soft.
