Hi Mimi, I don't know the details of course but understand that persistent 'yowling' can indicate a thyroid problem? Just a thought.Quote:

ick thyroid. Already went down that road with other cat. And now this time we can't afford it. !! gotta go to the veterinarian.
I didn't know about the thyroid/yowling connection. Our female is hyperthyroid and noisy, but she was noisy long before her diagnosis. I think she's just bossy.
This is the jumbo litter box I use. It's like 2 feet long.

I do have three smaller ones spread out through the house, but this is the main one that all of them use.
Keep 'em coming. All of these are hilarious!! Luckily I'm deaf, so I don't hear them all crying, howling or whatever noise they make at night!
Dear cute-but-dumb girlcat,
Why do you insist on draping yourself across the computer keyboard when I am trying to type? The people I am sending messages to don't understand what [[[[[[[[[[99999y7p[pkkkkoooooooooo;;;;;;;;; means.
Kindest regards,
The woman who feeds you.
What's sad is that the people I'm trying to send messages to DO understand that. And I know what ichat/emails from my mother that look like that mean.Quote:

Love, your cleaning crew
Dear Cats,
Thank you for coming to my rescue while crying. It had been a bad day and having the two of you come snuggle next to me purring away really helped.
The Mom
Oh.... There are worse things to step on in the dark. Mine left a mouse head for me. Yes, just the head (like in the Godfather), such love!!!Quote:

Marni ftw!:D
Dear Kitties,
Thank you so much for the warm snuggles upon my return home from a trip. It's not coming home to an empty house when I have my little furballs to look forward to.
So glad my cats stay in and the critters stay out!! The worse I find are dismembered crickets.
Dear kitten:
I don't know how something so small can have lungs so large. Or the vocal capacity to yowl at full volume for 12 hours straight. Impressive. But I can't wait until I pick you up and you're semi-sedated.
Sincerely,
The woman who is getting you snipped
Wow. Sounds like something from a Hitchcock film.., or a Steven king novel.Quote:

Dear Aggie,
I must tell you how relieved I am that you've decided that cold wet weather is NOT your thing. It is amazing how happy you are to just stay in the house on my bed (smiling glibly) instead of wanting out at all hours of the day and night.
I'm sleeping better,thanks

Dear (formerly?) evil cat,
We've had you for 4 years. You were the most ungrateful cat I've ever known, and you wanted nothing to do with us. People were afraid of you, because you would attack people for doing things like walking, or shifting in their seat. Now, suddenly, you are in my room, snuggling up, and licking my face. Don't get me wrong, it's adorable, but also kind of terrifying. Sorry for wondering if one day Ill wake up without a kidney
Love,
your adoring but terrified bed partner
The big guy in my avatar (RIP) used to send things to the printer from my computer. More complicated because I was at my house about 20 miles away from my work, where the printer was. So I'd have to email someone and say - you know that email conversation we were having? Well Bailey just sent it to the printer. Could you run over there and pick it up? He would also send emails just as I opened them, so the recipient got a blank email.Quote:

Cats have to sleep 23 hours and 23 minutes each day in order to dream the world alive. It's what they manage to do in the remaining 37 minutes that make life so interesting.

Ha, our Lola is famous for starting iTunes. I have NO idea how she does that! Must be a function key of some sort on my keyboard, but I don't even know how to start it, that way!Quote:

Oh my gosh, you could be describing my big mean tuxedo cat. He was a feral cat, and although he's 7 now and has mellowed somewhat, he still scares everyone!Quote:

Dear Cats,
I am working on a quilting project and will deliberately ignore you. You may NOT steal my bobbins out of the drawer and take off with them. Sitting on the foot pedal is NOT helping so get off. Any paws that get a needle stuck in them is your own fault and I will charge you the vet fees if you do. BTW, a needle through your finger hurts so I'm sure it's the same with paws. Sticking your head into my project is not smart either and will result in your head getting shoved out of the way. Dumping my stuff onto the floor to check out the contents is also not allowed.
For your own safety and my sanity, you are all banished from my presence and put in the bedroom. Any howling and banging against the door will be ignored.
The Mom
I don't have any cats, but I find this thread hilarious and addictive! More letters to your cats, please!? :D
Me too. No kitty, though the boyfriend has one. See below.Quote:

I don't have a cat either, but the stories of cats that turn iTunes on, or "type" messages are hilarious. They remind me of this video from BBC Comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYe1d5_LS0sQuote:

Dear Buttons,
I told you if you tried to climb off the towel rack and land on the side of tub to check out the bubbles you'd fall in but you didn't listen. However; the look on your face was priceless when you got your head out of the water and realized the horrors of water. Bet you'll listen better next time, but probably not.
I do think Bandit enjoyed the show as he looked rather smug. He knows better after his experience.
Dear Aggie
you were an angel last night.
thank you. Or did it have something to do with the 50 degree temp outside last night?
:p:cool:
Jag:
Are you sleeping in my lap more in the evening because you luv me; or is it already getting too cold for your little short haired body?
Dear Princess,
I think punching me and nearly taking my left eye out (and now I have nice puncture wound and a shiner, to boot) is not how you make new friends.
I know you had a tough life being abandoned and now you've found a cozy home in the warehouse, but remember the nice lap you were on the other day, drooling away from all the attention?
I don't hate you, but next time, please don't try to take my eye out!
love,
visitor
Brilliant! Thanks. Don't watch television. Maybe I should.Quote:

And while we're being honest here, I really do not need your help in the bathroom, I can do it all by myself.

Dear Critter -
I have to admit, I'm loving this phase where you think I've "rescued" you every time we leave the vet (and you seem to forget that I brought you there in the first place)
Thanks for being a good boy while we were there and letting that sticky red-spotted child pet you.
Love,
Your favorite lap
Dear cats
It's great that all three of you want to cuddle with me now that the weather is turning cooler. But y'all should know by now that all three of you do not fit on my lap together. And Joe, if you try again to push someone off my lap so you can have it, you're getting a time-out.
Love, the heat source
Dear Cat,
Why the sudden fascination with what ever I'm about to out in my mouth?
You've never been remotely interested in "people" food in the past, with the exception to tuna fish Sammie I sometimes make and cold filtered water from the fridge, so what gives?
I know you wouldn't drink the coffee I sit down, but you race to smell, just to be sure???
