    I would enjoy this more if those darned stray cats didn't strut their stuff in my garden, leaving their mess and dead or injured birds in their wake. Grrrr

    Loved the song - I remember listening to it on the radio. It was very distinct and made you tap your toes.

    Speaking of stray cats, my husband and I have a hot tub, and every night, weather permitting, we go outside after dark and enjoy the hot water and the stars and moon.

    Well, about a couple of weeks ago, this cat came by. It was a little timid the first night, but would come up to my out stretched hand and let me pet it. The second night, it jumped on the steps and looked in. Then the third night, it actually jumped up on the edge of the hot tub, and started walking around. He would go to me and get petted, then walk over to my husband for a little scratch. He even sticks his toes in the water.

    This has been going on for 2 weeks or so, and we have really enjoyed his company. I don't know where he lives, but he comes to visit us almost every night.

    Hey Gary, remember me? I think we were on another site together. At least I think I recognize your avatar.

    Anyway follow members, I could use a few tips on kitty behavior. I had two cats that lived well into their 20's, but they passed about four years ago. They were indoor kitties, but now I can't do the bending over for, or the picking up of the litter boxes. So was thinking of getting a cat that would be indoor and outdoor to get past these limitations. I have never had an outside cat, and I was wondering how people safeguarded them from dogs, and whatever other dangers they come across. Anyone with an outside kitty out there?? What do you do concerning these issues.

    Hi Ina, I was on that other forum too. Our cats have always been outdoor cats. They were never allowed in the house. They know how to take care of themselves.

    Uh boy, I can see we have another bad boys. But that is Ok, I enjoy watching to what degree you guys will go to liven things up. For all times, men have been on the leading edge of comedy. It also tell of your joy in the world, and in your mind. So bring on the giggles.
