I know that video is supposed to be funny. But it brings back horrible memories for me. I had a cat that chased and attacked the paper boy thru the windows. We all thought it was hilarious. Then one day the paperboy came over to see some kittens I was fostering. When I let him in the door my cat came flying from a back room and attacked the paper boy. Luckily he was not seriously harmed. But we were all totally freaked out. I am so lucky all it cost me was a new pair of jeans for him! And he still adopted one of the kittens! But this same cat later attacked my mom while displacing aggression and put her in the hospital. That was one of his very last days.

She is way too young to smoke.

Oh Jen, so sorry about the nasty cat!

Thanks Rita. He actually had a mental problem. Now a days he could have gotten real help. Meds would have probably helped him. Just don't know if they were available then. Also, not letting him repeat bad neurotic aggressive behavior. I failed him.

Jen! You can not blame yourself.

We brought a second cat home from a shelter, to be "company" for our first cat (quite young and a lot smaller).

However, she bullied him and sometimes clawed him. He got nervous and timid quickly, and was getting twitchier and more afraid of everything when we gave up and brought her back to the shelter.

He had started out as a perky and adventuresome kitten, but was timid and afraid of even small noises for several years. He's come back to the point where he doesn't run away from neighborhood cats UNTIL they come towards him.

At least he feels comfortable bullying me, since he gets away with it more often than not. I'm careful to give him some things he's "not supposed to do", so that there are things he can get away with.

Jen, don't be too hard on yourself. Vet bills and meds are very expensive!!

Just watched the weather forecast on the news. Snow on Tuesday!!!!

looking like it's gonna be less than they originally thought for my area...thank goodness. Still probably gonna get a few inches of fresh stuff Tuesday into Wednesday here.

Rob: It will miss us completely.A few inches isnt tragic and a half hour of sun makes most of it disappear.
We get nightly dustings. We will have rain with the coastal storm.

We had some small hail followed by rain yesterday, all day and for tomorrow more rain, all day. Some mixed with snow. Yippee.

We all just want a real spring with nice weather and it doesn't seem to be happening this year.

Snow coming to Long Island for Tuesday into Wednesday. I want spring, my crocus have started to bloom and I don't want them covered in snow.

They do make for pretty photos when covered with snow but I'd happily forego the photos and skip the snow.

One forecaster, challenging many to wish him to disappear, said (about the snow) "double digits". I wish they'd send him to Mexico where he can't frighten people with snow reports like that!

Looks like this one stayed just far enough south and east so I'm only expecting little more than a dusting now on Tuesday into Wed. morning. Good luck to those of you that find yourself in this one's path.

We had snow showers yesterday.
Thursday it will hit the mid 40's.Thats what I am aiming for.

So far so good here. It is very cold but the sun is out and no wind or rain, I think I can deal with this!

Sunshine and now over freezing at 32.4 - hard to get excited and yet it's better than snow.

It is snowing here. But it is fine snow and does not look like it will accumulate. Just blow around a bit

IT'S Back
