Buffy Scared the C*** Out of Me!
Not literally. :) I had the audacity to go out and run errands today.
I felt sure I'd given Buffy plenty of attention when I got home. We played for a while. Then I turned my attention to the computer, which I haven't done for a few days. She was sitting in my lap, getting scritches. I got distracted because there was a doe and her still-speckled fawn (late in the year, even this far south) meandering around in my back yard. So cute! Meanwhile, Buffy got down off my lap. I didn't notice where she went. I got up to get a drink from the kitchen. It's dusk so it's dark in the kitchen. I didn't even have a chance to reach for the light switch. I got to the kitchen doorway and she *burst* out of the kitchen yelling "MEOW!!!" I screamed like a little girl! OMG, are you trying to give me a heart attack?! Jill |

Thank goodness no one else was around to hear me when I realized it was just the cat. LOL Jill |

Thank goodness no one else was around to hear me when I realized it was just the cat. LOL Jill Sounds like she had a message from Sweeper, the practical joker (RB). Judith I believe it! Persia (RB) was full of BCT's. I've mentioned she once opened the pantry door and got a can of Fancy Feast down off the shelf. Hint hint, meowmie, I want it now! :) Another time she opened the one of the two metal bi-fold doors that hid the washer & dryer in the apartment. She jumped up on the dryer, then down beside it between the dryer and the wall. Naturally, she couldn't jump back up; I had to move the dryer to get her out. That BCT backfired on her. Good thing I was at home! I had to put big rubber bands around the doorknobs to prevent her from opening them again. She was a little too smart for her own good. :) One time she crashed through the sliding door screen when she saw another cat on the patio. She knocked the screen off the bottom track and it opened like a cat-flap. I'm pretty sure she was surprised to find herself outside! That little trick backfired, too. But it prompted me to buy a baby-gate to put up when I opened the glass slider so she couldn't do it again. The things we do for our cats! :) Jill |

Nelli & Garfie a.k.a The Poshgirls are exotic shorthairs and as such have very tiny hardly audible meows so this cannot happen to me phew |

It's interesting how some cats have loud meows and some are like a whisper. I'm glad your Nellie and Garfie won't be able to pull that BCT! Jill |

OK there's a lot of people you don't know, but you do know some of us, it's just you may not recognise their real names. FB rpca does take some getting used to, it's different, extremely fast paced, just reply to what you like, tick to like others with various emoticoms, and ignore the rest that you don't have time for.. I'm sorry you didn't feel welcome, of course you are. It's just different, you'll get used to it. Persevere. |

I don't like Facebook either. I tried it once, very briefly, many years ago, took against it and decided I didn't need to spend even more time on the computer learning to use a program I disliked from the start. I do miss some of the old groups I used to follow - pretty much defunct now, all of them, but I doubt I'll give Facebook another try. There's not much point, since it's such a different kind of software than the discussions I liked ran on that I doubt I'd like it any more than I did all those years ago. Admittedly, I sometimes feel like I'm out of the Ark, since just about everyone I know seems to be on Facebook, but joining still doesn't appeal to me. -- Cheryl |
