Reply #55: LOL! "Flea Taxi" - how funny [View All]

[Flaxbee]

I think a DUer has/d a cat named "Dammit" - cracked me up for days.

Anyway - Bertha - be careful what you wish for! I had for years adopted only stray cats -- all grown up by the time they made it to my door or neighborhood or whatever. Then one day I was thinking "damn, I'd love to see a kitten!" and lo and behold, Novi (MommaKitty) showed up within a day or two (obviously had given birth recently b/c of nipple condition) and a month later, she brought me her three tiny lovable sweet baby girl kitties. ACK! We found a home for one of them (though I still have plans to catnap her back - the guy is probably a good daddy but I just can't stand not having the family together) and have kept Novi and her two babes (Ingrid and Marilyn).

The things that make me hesitate about getting more at this point are (1) the HUGE cost of vet bills, flea meds, etc., and (2) being able to go on vacation and actually relax - I had a neighbor I used to trust absolutely but we've moved and I worry all the time when we're gone.
