I think it's OK for smaller dogs, but not big ones.

(laugh)

Where the beds were.  Which are the good laps.  
 
-> > BIG kitty.  He probably ate like a dog too.
-> 
-> hahaha yes, and did-you-know-what like a dog, too Lol  but he never ever
needed
-> or used a cat box.. ever in his life.  I LOVE cats that are like that
(g).

He used the outdoor box?  My two beg to get inside to use the litter box!  
 
-> You're probably right about that :)  His nickname was actually
-> 'Monster-Kitty'.... he'd come to either Pete, or monster-kitty -  and
when you
-> called him that, he'd cuddle and snuggle (g)  You know, do the whole,
"I'm
-> soooooo cute" act :)

Yep. I have one who does that whenever she wants something.  Hello, here I
am.  I'm cute.  I'm shedding all over you.  Feed me.

->

shower

-> 
Jumping in the shower is strange, but coon cats will do that.  They have
really thick undercoats and don't feel the water the way other cats do.

-> > -> Leo, Cool it :) Lol
-> > ->
-> > Or else he just didn't care.  He knows the cat won't do any damage.
-> 
-> Sure :)  well, nothing that bad :) Lola likes to sit in the top of the
-> scratching post.  It's a tall one, you know with a square kitty
bed/thing on
-> top that's carpeted.. so she just leans some into the dining room
doorway ...
-> kind of like a vulture.. She swats at the pups every single chance she
gets.
-> I'm waiting  to see it happen "good" for all the times those puppies
have
-> chased the kitties :) :)

She knows they can't get her up there.  Mine will take a swat at me when
she's on top of the fridge.

rugs..

male?
-> 
-> LOL don't make me spill my coffee :) :)
-> 
-> but yeah, that's what I'd figure (he was a male (vbg)).  I don't
remember how I
-> 'came upon' him in thinking back... someone probably ditched him when
the

They probably had him pee on any available surface one time too many.(LOL)

-> 
-> It's a great pic for Halloween.  It was shortly after we got Pete, that
I
-> realized what kind of cat that illustration represented :)  I laughed so
much
-> when he got puffed out and did the actual stance you see on those cards.

My sister has an all-black cat who's been known to try the pose.  Doesn't
work - he's a little bitty kitty.

and

-> 
-> Now that sounds doggish :)   That is exactly what Toby did with one of
the
-> kitten's "prizes" they brought it home for us :)

It's a stray's response to food at hand.  Scarf it down before someone
bigger and meaner comes along.
 
-> > -> like I do that (haha) ). Leo does a kind of chirp <g>
->

-> 
-> Yep, that's what I thought.  I remember thinking Pete's meow was..
weird.. :)

Coon cats are supposed to chirp.

Or peanut butter.  Or butter. Anything with a really high fat content. 
Actually, who does that remind you of...?(ducking Michael)
