He's an old man!

Re: Pets.
Heston, cute cat. Has Zorro started to meow yet? Ours are big talkers, unfortunately for us it's usually around 3 am on the weekend days we can sleep in a bit.

Re: Pets.
He can vocalize as I accidentally stood on his tail once. Other than that a couple of half hearted mewls when his food is being served.

Re: Pets.
Yeah, don't think stepping on his tail counts! We've always talked to ours, so I guess they just picked up the idea of talking back and ran with it. Next trick is going to be to teach them to tell time so we can sleep in on our days off.

Re: Pets.
Oh, I talk to him non stop. We got him at four months old so I dunno how much vocal stimulation he had before then. I felt really bad standing on his tail (it was his faultSparky wrote: ↑15 Dec 2020, 8:32pmYeah, don't think stepping on his tail counts!

) but at least I knew then he was actually capable of making a noise, which was a relief.There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: Pets.
Ours like to walk between your legs when your walk, so I get the accidently stepping on them part.
Here's our 3, didn't plan on getting 3, but it's a long story.

Two isn't much more work than one; going from two to three is a whole new ballgame.

Re: Pets.
Long story short....
Neighbor found a cat at her sisters business, took it home, turns out it was pregnant. Had kittens, came over to tell us about it, mentioned she had heard our previous 2 had passed away. Told her it was too soon and we were leaving on vacation. Then she says well they were born on such and such date, turns out it was my birthday, so wife looks at me like it's meant to be. Got back from vacation, she asks if we'd like to see the kittens, each time she brings them by in a large dog carrier she bring her favorite 3 of the litter. She's smart! My wife says, "but 3 would be fun". Each time they do something crazy, I use that quote on her!

Once you're initiated into the cat club, it's damned hard to ever get out. My wife and I have been together for 27+ years and we've had cats continuously, save for a two month gap, and probably have another 15 years locked up in what we have now."I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back in Whittier, they're not much bigger than two meters.'" - Richard Nixon, Checkers Speech, abandoned early draft

Re: Pets.
I just ordered a newfangled brine shrimp hatchery to raise live food for my aquarium fish. It should arrive in a week, and I anticipate countless hours of fun and entertainment that will keep me occupied at least until spring.
