    oh HOW I wish Dayhunter had a snooze button. On the other hand, he doesn't ever use the litterbox - he "holds it" like a dog - so I guess it's a fair deal.

    MY pre-DH days, I had 5 cats at one time. They tolerated me and I adored them. They ate better than me, and were waited on hand and foot.

    My DH is deathly allergic. So we have dogs.

    I miss my cats terribly. I did not get rid of them because of my DH, they just lived out their lives prior to him coming along.

    These quotes make me miss them more.

    CyclChyk, I hear you! I was owned by two furballs before meeting DH. He is severely allergic to kitties, so my mom adopted them. She spoils them as much as I did!

    Early in my life with Ariel, my beautiful grey fluffball, it was suggested I only give her wet food at dinner time. Best advice I've ever gotten. She's actually quite dignified about it, but her brother, Isaac, starts agitating for dinner around 2PM, if I'm home. Imagine when he'd start if I put it out in the morning! They have dry food available 'round the clock.

    Latest science news -- get a cat

    Just read this today, the latest hypothesis on breast cancer: It seems that there is an overrepresentation of dog owners among women with breast cancer, and an underrepresentation of cat owners. Dogs also get breast cancer. Cats do not. Thereof this new hypothesis: Perhaps breast cancer is caused (at least sometimes) by a virus that can transfer between dogs and humans. Conclusion of author of article: Get a cat.

    I got a PM asking for my source on the dog-cancer link, unless it happened to be in Norwegian. I thought the answer might interest more gals out there, especially since it corrects some possible misinformation. So here's the reply I sent to the PM:

    *****
    Yep. In Norwegian. Also ... no link. Furthermore ... in searching for a link to the original source, I found that one key premise is wrong. There's plenty on the net about cats getting breast cancer. But the premise may yet hold up if cats get a different KIND of bc. I didn't open up those links to check, nor am I sure I would have understood them if I had. Anyway, here's the original little text in Norwegian, and my English translation.

    PRØV EN PUS
    Kan hundehold gi brystkreft? Det undrer tyske leger på, etter å ha spurt 1320 pasienter om de hadde hund. Det viste seg at kvinner med brystkreft langt oftere hadde hund enn kvinner uten sykdommen, ifølge Medical Hypothesis. Hunder kan få brystkreft, og sykdomsforløpet likner på det man ser hos oss. Kanskje blir noen former for brystkreft utløst av et virus som går både på mennesker og hunder. Katter, derimot, blir ikke rammet av brystkreft. Så kanskje Pus bør ta Trofasts plass?

    TRY A PUSSYCAT
    Can dog ownership cause breast cancer? That's what German doctors wonder, after having asked 1320 patients whether they had a dog. It turned out that women with breast cancer far more often owned a dog than women without the disease, according to Medical Hypothesis. Dogs can get breast cancer, and the course of the disease resembles what we see in humans. Perhaps some forms of breast cancer are triggered by a virus that attacks both humans and dogs. Cats, on the other hand, are not struck by breast cancer [sic]. So maybe Kitty should take Fido's place?

    Great quotes, I have 4 adult cats, one half grown kitten, and five 8 week old kittens that are adorable. I better not get sick w/ all these furballs around. My blood pressure stays down too unless they get under my feet and I accidently stop on one of them. Here's a pic of Molly-one of my kittys. Jennifer

    kitties!

    I, too, am a Cat Woman. I have four cats, all rescued. Started with two and thought that was enough until one day in Sept. 2005 my SO and I were loading the bikes after a 70 mile ride. Out of the thicket came three tiny, perfectly clean and adorable kittens. They were only about 4 weeks old & clearly had not been there long. I feel someone dropped them, hoping we would rescue them - and we did. One was adopted by a friend of a friend & the other two adopted us. All are inside cats as I also love feeding birds and I don't want to bait the birds to feed the cats. Now, if only I could invent a way to get rid of the cat hair without actually vacuuming!

    I will say this - they know how to relieve stress - and get into mischief!
