oh *hugs* But that was such a good thing you did for them!

What about work? Do you not have to go in?

Not until next week, yay! I'll be ready by then.

That is exciting!

Oh, I keep forgetting to ask- how's kittycakes holding up?

He's doing fine now. He slept a lot too (even for him *g*) and he hops in my lap for petting every time I sat down for a while, but I think we're both pretty much back to normal.

I was proud of him--there was lots of hissing, but he didn't fight with the other cats.

YAY FOR SID!!!!!!

Yes! He was a good boy. Unlike Dena's heathens, who can't pass a water bowl without dumping it. It was funny, though--Dena wouldn't let hers climb on things, and I pretty much don't care what Sid climbs on, as long as it's not the stove, so he'd get up as high as he could and look down on them like, "ha, ha, I win."

Smugness, thy name is cat

So much! Denise's poor cat stayed in the bathroom the whole time because he hates other cats and isn't fond of people besides Denise and Michaela. He bit me, though, so I don't feel too sorry for him.

ooh, that's not the way to win friends and influence people

Exactly!

Sid was, of course, the model of decorum, right?

(other than that superiority complex of his)

He let people other than me pet him, which is good behavior for him. He didn't bite or scratch anybody (people, cats or rabbits), so I call it a win.

Yay Sid! But.... OMG, rabbits too? You really are a saint

Well, ONE rabbit. Who was the best-behaved of us all. *g*

as long as you kept it in carrots... but if those carrots had run out... *shudder*

LOL! Good point.

because... really, have you ever LOOKED at the size of their teeth? herbivore, schmerbivore those are FANGS! And they're sharp!

Yep! They're like rats' teeth, only, y'know, BIGGER. (In defense of rats, my pet rats never bit me. Unless I smelled like food and they tried to taste me.)

exactly!!! and people think they're so cute and fuzzy...

I never had rats, I had hamsters and mice when I was a kid though. Cute little things

Rats are really smart. Hamsters not so much. I had guinea pigs as a kid. Well, cats, dogs, a ferret, baby skunks very briefly, a rabbit (pure evil), a cockatiel--I think that's about it.

My mouse was sneaky, but yeah, the hamsters were as dumb as a box of rocks. My sister had a guinea pig. And gerbils too. As a family we had a dog. I never had a cat till after college.

Skunks? How did that happen?

see- rabbits are EVIL- I knew it

I like the thought of a sneaky mouse. I had two rats, and one was definitely more of a problem-solver than the other. Which translates to sneaky. *nods*

When I was eleven, the stepfather of a friend of mine found two baby skunks. Eyes not even open yet. My friend was leaving to visit his father in West Virginia, and he told me if I'd keep his skunks while he was gone, I could have one of them. They were adorable. But when my mom called the vet to see about getting them de-scented (once they got their eyes open and started to waddle around, they started stamping their feet like the adults do before they spray), the vet said that skunks can be born with rabies and that we shouldn't keep them. We gave them back to my friend's stepfather, and I don't know (or want to know) what he did with them.

My rabbit was evil. Well, very territorial, anyway.

We kept the little animals in a glass cage- probably an old fish tank or something. There was a mesh top that fit on and a water bottle that hung from the side. The mouse figured out that if he climbed up the waterbottle and then along the mesh to the corner he could shake the top so it jumped up enough for him to slip his paw inbetween the top and the cage and then he could lift it and shift it off enough for him to escape.

awww, the skunks sound cute. but- rabies is not somethign to mess with so that was probably a good idea

Aw, I can just picture your mouse making his great escape! And yeah, I cried and cried, but my mom had the right idea there.

I had to resort of putting heaving books along the top to keep it down and heavy enough it couldn't be moved.

awww, poor Mom probably felt terrible
