Sweet, sweet, sweet, anyway. Happy for you and Mick.

The Cats are annoying. devilsmiley.gif They want brushing, then they don't, then they do. In and out of the back door like I'm some sort of cat employed door opening device ... must get a cat flap.

You have not read the fine print, have you? Your existence is solely for the purpose of catering to their comfort and convenience. They allow you to THINK you have a life outside of their needs, but you do not. They occasionally will throw you a nice catnip mouse (such as allowing you to enjoy a nice relationship with another human), but they will be very quick to remind you of your true purpose--hence the "want brushing, then they don't, then they do" and the "in and out of the back door like I'm some sort of cat employed door opening device."

And it is not like they cannot groom themselves--they would assure us that they do it MUCH better than we do. And it is not like they cannot open doors by themselves--they can open any door you do not want them to open without any help at all. And they can open those bags of cat food without our help, as well. I think if they ever find away to open the canned cat food then we will be truly obsolete and completely dependent upon their charity.

Well, it sounds like a handful with the cat's!! I don't have cat's but you have seen I do have 3 Boxers and Rat Terrier (rescue dog) and they aren't as bad at pestering me brush them but do understand about the going outside issue. With the dogs, I have to make sure I do it at least once an hour if not more so they can go potty. But, I did train them to start telling me when "they" want to go out. I bought a brass bell, like you would see in a hotel to ring. I keep it beside the back door and when they need to go out, they ring it! Took me about 20 minutes to teach them. Boy, that has saved me a lot of trouble.

How old are the cat's? what kind?

I bet you couldn't live without them? You get attached to having them around!! Love can be a pain.

Speaking of that, glad to here you an Mick are moving right along. Sounds good!!

Have a Great Week!
