That's just heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. Losing a pet, no matter how or when, is always so hard.
I have an indoor/outdoor (mostly outdoor) cat that I haven't seen in almost 2 weeks. We live in kind of a wooded area so I think an animal got him. I was thinking something happened last week when I didn't see him, but now that almost a whole week has passed and I still haven't seen him, I'm pretty sure he's gone for good. He was my boy and I'm sad I'll probably never get to hold him again.
So far my little guy is hanging on, but still not really eating anything but hand fed corn flakes.....
Sorry about your kitty!! That is so hard!
Glad your little guy is hanging in there. Maybe he just needs to serious TLC that only hand fed corn flakes can provide.
I was really struggling with Owen being gone yesterday. Every time I'd think about him, I'd bread down in tears. I hope he makes his way back home. That's him in my profile picture.
Aww... I am so sorry about your cat. That is why all my cats are 100% indoor, I am so paranoid. I am currently courting a feral all black cat on my porch that I have been feeding for about a year now...trying to get him inside eventually. Not that I need 4.
And speaking of 4... I have a fifth cat that I started feeding on my porch every day too... black and white. Totally friendly. I finally took him to the vet on Monday and he is microchipped! So we are tracking his owners, which I am sure they dumped him, so far we traced him to a shelter in TN, then he was adopted and taken to DE, then surrendered to a shelter near my home, so now we are trying to find out if the shelter readopted him out or if he somehow got free.
I had to let him loose again (wasn't spending hundreds on a cat that I had to hand over to someone else) and I can't have him in my home until he is tested for feline AIDS And leukemia. So still feeding him on the porch. I am worried something will happen before the vet agrees I can keep him and will treat him. So I may soon have 4 in house, and one on the porch. Then eventually maybe I'll get Porch Kitty into my condo. Then it will be 5. I basically have a Kitty Condo. I swore I would never have more than 3. I am becoming a crazy cat lady.
This sounds like my family! We have five cats...four were previously strays that we fed off of our porch. They warm up to us over time, we take them in and quarantine them in our basement away from our other cats until they get to the vet to be tested and checked for microchips. It always seems to work out...all the cats end up getting along great, and adjust to indoor-only life just fine!
yep, I had set up the spare bedroom for him on Monday, but didn't bring him in when I didn't get him tested after we found the microchip. The vet thought it was too risky. I may now though, he keeps begging me to come in (standing at my sliding glass door and crying, running out to meet me when I get home, etc.)
I would not be able to resist this....I would have ten thousand cats if they each did this, lol.
Yep hence the about to be 4.
So update on black and white kitty. Vet confirmed the trail is dead so I can bring him in and claim him. I have a 4 pm appt today. His last known owner surrendered him because they moved to Israel so I am hoping the spraying is not an issue. So unless he has a contagious disease he is about to be cat #4. I am going to decide on a name today. I am feeling guilty about my other 3 cats. I think they already think they don't get enough attention. Oh well. I'll just have to make sure I give each of them some time each day. The 3 I have figured it out and we settled into a routine. Hopefully this will work out.
That makes me happy. Is he a tuxedo kitty? That's what my Owen is and he was so handsome. Is handsome. Do you have name-names for your kitties or cat names for them? What I mean is, I don't give my pets animal names, I give them people names. Our dogs are Lucy and Otis, the guinea pigs were Ozzy and Jackson (my daughter was a HUGE Hannah Montana fan at the time), there's Owen, and I had a rabbit named Jessica. I think people names are more endearing for pets than animal names, IMHO.
I always find it so interesting what people name their pets! I've had pets with people names (i.e. my first dog was Sam), but my current pets have 'animal' names - my husky in the photo is Jazz, and my cats are Tadpole and Purranha (long story- started with a cat named Catfish because my dad waded into our creek to 'fish' her out!).
My mom almost always names her pets animal names, with two exceptions: she had a husky named Nikki when she was in high school/college, and a cat named Delilah for a while (yes, we then had Sam(pson) and Delilah in the same house!)
So, my mastiff is Antigone Grace. People name or pet name? I love the name Antigone (Ann-tig-oh-nee for anyone wondering how to pronounce. Antigone is a Greek tragedy written by Sophocles.) I wanted to name a little girl Antigone if we had one, but had a boy. Grace because as a puppy, she wasn't.
People name, for sure. I enjoy it when people give their pets middle names.
We also have a bearded dragon named Dexter and a gerbil named Mary.
When I was a student I had gerbils named Gabriel and Juan Jose Raul. Because I was a pretentious little &%$# at that age.
right now i have two small dogs:
Plankton (i've also knighted him Sir Plankton Batdog) and Wolverine (or Wolvie or Captain Fluffy Butt). when the boyfriend moved out he took our third dog, Loki (or Locust)
i've previously had two tuxedo cats named Izzy Jo Levine and Dez the Cat. they hated being indoor cats so they went to live with my mom on her horse farm.
I love the name Plankton!
Horse farm???0 -
My boyfriend's family has a funny tradition of calling every animal "BILL!'' in a high pitched squealy voice. Their dog is named Floppy, but they call him Bill. Once I caught his brother going ''BILL!'' to a fish
My sister's cat is named Reggie, but I like calling him ''Reggie Roo.'' She also renamed a cat that was previously called Lilly to ''Dilly.''0 -
All right friends- my boss has kindly agreed to let us leave early for Memorial Day weekend, so I am out of here. See you all next week! Try not to fill up too many pages that I'll have to catch up on, since I'll have no reception at all while camping this weekend!0

Okay folks, packing up Cobweb and heading for the vet. Y'all have a great day! XOXOXO0

Love the name Quasi. I worked with a girl who named her cat Quasi, it had the kitty version of a harelip. She also had a three legged cat named Ilene.
We have a great dane named Merlin, after Top Gun, not the magician. He also goes by MerBot, botty bot, and bud. Our English bulldog is Molly, aka Little Miss, Molly monster, pigadillo (she snorts like a pig and has rolls like an armadillo), Hot TaMolly, and wiggles.
[/quote]
Ilene is hilarious! And I love great danes! I knew someone who had one. His name was Zeus but he was the biggest baby ever! All she had to do to block him from entering a room or something (like when she had company) was lay a small, table top ironing board on the floor. He had no idea he could step right over it.0 -

I don't think I'd last long as a cashier because I would not be able to hide my irritation if I was at the express line, lol! Let's just say I'm apparently not too good with people, from my experience working with customers in bakeries (but seriously, a lot of them were *kitten**oles). But at least I have stories, right?
I hated being a cashier. I know I’m not the right person for it. I once got angry with a customer because he dumped out a huge pile of coins on my register and expected me to count it out and give him bills in exchange (I worked at a hardware store...). I told him that he wasn’t at a bank and I refused to do it. Of course management sent him over to customer service for them to take care of it. Ugh…I just get irritated with people who think they are entitled to anything they want.
Thankfully the head cashier that day was a friend so I didn't get into much trouble.[/quote]

I went to the Dollar Tree to grab 3-4 things best bought there. Was shopping fine enough, come time to checkout. A line out about 6 people deep with a ton of crap to buy and only one cashier checking people out.... Nope. No thanks. Not gonna happen. I dropped my hand basket in the center of the aisle where I stood and walked out. If you spend more time in line trying to pay for what you just shopped for then there is a problem with your practice! Yes, waiting is a part of living and in most cases there's no getting around it... The problem I have is not with the cashier doing their part so I never cut them a look or anything, I blame the business for insufficient staffing and I refuse to support them by making a purchase at that time.
We were shopping the other night at Wal-Mart (we were in a small town and it was the only thing open that had what we needed) and there was seriously 1 lane open. In the whole entire store. One freakin' lane! Luckily, we didn't have a whole basket full of stuff, but still, I thought it was ridiculous. I've left a cart somewhere because I didn't feel like waiting in line for 20 minutes.
I hate WalMart. Their official policy (here) is not to redirect or confront or scold people for having too many items in the express line.
I know this because I once went through express with ONE item while the woman in front of me had 38. Yes, I counted. I wanted to say something to her but it would have been something really b*tchy and I'm trying to be a nicer person. So I pointed out to the cashier that the customer had exceeded the posted item limit about three times over, and she advised me that they weren't allowed to say anything.
Nope, they aren't. People know this and abuse it.
Walmart.com is a godsend! Free shipping to my home for any orders over $50.00. I order almost all of my non-perishable foods, toiletries, household cleaners, etc. Then I go to a different grocery store only for my fruit, vegetables, dairy, etc. Haven't set foot in Walmart for almost a year and I intend to keep that streak growing.
That is such a good idea! You are a genius! I usually go to one grocery store for meat, veggies, dairy, and sale items and then go to Walmart for paper, cleaning, etc. Totally doing this next time!
It has made my life immensely easier! I just placed an order today for toilet paper, laundry detergent, canned goods, and tea bags. In a few days either FedEx or UPS will deliver it. It's great!
i stalk slicdeals.org for super deals on toiletries and household stuff. it's amazing how much you can save!!
Do you mean slickdeals.net? I am there all the time. Either searching for a deal on something or hanging out in the gamers lounge. At work there's only SD & MFP. Everything else is blocked. lol0 -

Looks like I'm not having any mayonnaise cuz the struggle is real! lol
Although in haste I did mistake his name. It's actually SCRAWNY ARMS ROB LOWE. (I know, same difference) hahaha
Oh yeah, you know how UN-PC is it use words like "skinny" and "fat"! On a related note, is my guacamole promoting obesity? I opened the lid and inside it says, "I'm chunky and proud of it!".
I only hear one thing from guac.... EAT ALL OF ME IN ONE SITTING.
I love guac soooo much. I can (but don't) eat it by the spoonful. 0 -

FluffySandwich wrote: »My sister, I find, is really good at naming pets. She named almost all of our pets growing up (the only one I named was our cat Libby). Our golden retriever was BooBoo, a cat was Fuzz, one of our guinea pigs was Wiggles, cats named Taloose and ClairaBelle.
Taloose was my baby!! He sadly died from some common disease that kills young cats (Libby died from the same stupid disease). He used to wait for me to get home and then we'd cuddle on the couch together. If I put my lips in front of his face he'd lean forward and rub his face against them
He didn't want to ever be put down, and he was the most gorgeous cat too! 
I now have quite the soft spot for orange kitties
I also admit that I give tons of nicknames to pets. Taloose went by Boosy, Goosy, Taloosey, Baby, Baby boy, etc. Mostly Boosy, for some reason.
ClairaBelle (who is still living) goes by Claire, Clairabear, Clairababy, etc etc etc.
I also do this. Owen's nickname when he was much fatter was Fatty McButter Pants, and Lucy's nicknames are Lulu, Lucy Lulu, or sometimes just Lu.
Hahaha that's awesome. We often refer to Tadpole as our 'chubby bunny.' It is d**n hard to get a cat to lose weight, especially when you have another cat living in the same apartment that can't afford to lose weight. Sometimes I think it's just karma for having named him Tadpole - he was the runt of the litter, but you'd never know it from looking at him now!
I love fat cats. And I can't take 100% full responsibility for coming up with this nickname. My husband and I used to watch King of Queens and there was an episode where Dough (Kevin James's character) was called Fatty McButter Pants by some kid and that cued him into the fact that he was overweight. Or something along those lines. Ever since that episode, Owen was coined with that moniker. It was very fitting. No pun intended.
