Hey guys. I'm sorry I haven't been posting for a while - the pain is worse
and the depression even worse than the pain, so typing is just too hard physically *and* emotionally. And even more than that, I just didn't want to come on here and whine again, so I just haven't posted at all. I lurk and read when I can and I try to send purrs to everyone in need. However, I do have an on-topic request. Archer has finally managed to completely denude his latest in a line of feathered sticks. Now these are not just any old feathered sticks - they are very special and need to be made exactly to his specifications (a small stick - not one of those huge ones they make - with feathers, but ESPECIALLY with plastic, colorful streamers (which last much longer than the feathers as you can see in the following video) and NO jingle bell on it (although that's a minor inconvenience that I can cut off). Here is one (the one before this one) that was almost gone but still beloved: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flI3m...layer_embedded Here is what it looked like when it was new and when Archer first fell in love with this specific toy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOLhl...layer_embedded The one he has now has just about given up the ghost - it has only one piece of one streamer left (but he still goes absolutely crazy when he plays with it to the point that every other cat leaves the room when they see him start to play with it). Well, PetsMart, for some unknown reason has stopped selling these specific toys. The ONLY place I've found them even online is a UK company: http://www.petcompany.co.uk/acatalog...ER__10.00.html Has anyone seen this particular toy anywhere? If you have, I will send you the money to purchase it and the cost of shipping. And you will have Archer's undying gratitude. Hugs, CatNipped |

Request for Help - PS
This is the toy that, in the middle of hurricane Ike, just when a tornado
was passing about 20 feet from my home, Archer who had been sticking to me like glue, jumped down off the bed, raced across my sitting room floor, shot up the stairs like a bolt of lightning, rushed across the great room floor, then reversed and came barreling back down the stairs and jumped back up on my bed..... with his stick toy in his mouth! *That's* how much he loves that toy. He must have thought, in his little cat brain, that should be all die in the disaster, heaven just wouldn't be heaven without his feathered stick! ; Hugs, CatNipped "CatNipped" wrote in message ...

I will look around, but I am so sorry you are feeling so bad. Dante purrs all the time-- he is a perpetual purrer, like those monks or nums who do nothing but pray for the world. So there are plenty of purrs going your way. ((((((((((Lori)))))))))) -- Theresa and Dante Stinky Forever: http://pets.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |

I will be going shopping at PetCo on Fri. I have seen some cat teasers like the one in the video there in the past. If they have any I will pick up a couple for you and let you know. Debbie |

We bought a HUGE feathered stick for him just like the small one, thinking he'd like that one even better, but he didn't like it at all. But 24" sounds about right, and it doesn't cost all that much, so I think I'll go ahead and order one. Thanks! Hugs, Lori |

But thank you so much for the search, that's really kind of you and it's appreciated. Hugs, CatNipped |

(respectful snip) Oy. I'm sorry you're feeling so awful! I hope you consider seeing someone about the depression. Treatment can do great wonders. As I am chronic pain my self I know that one tends to feed off the other like zombies in a z-grade horror film. Please also look into the voice- recognition programs for your computer. I'll have Louie look up more information for you (when he gets better himself; both of us are down with some exotic bug taking up residence in our guts.) We have a local pet chain that I think deals in this. In the next couple of day's I'll go take a look. I hope 24 inches will be OK if they don't have the slightly smaller one. I know I've seen the streamers fairly recently. And can they be more like fabric fringe than metallic if need be? China, like Mr. Dante, is a habitually purring baby, indeed purrs rather than meows. I only need a little to salve my poor cramping kishkes; China and I both will be more than happy to send lots of good strengthening purrs your way. Blessed be, Baha |
