Swifters are strongly contraindicated for cats too. Not a problem with

me as I can't stand the fragrances anyway.

> > Roxanne- loved your narrative! Ahahahahahah I had a big black cat

named Obie. I am not a cat person either and should never have gotten

one but Obie was a feral kitten and he was so wonderful! Every time I

tried to pet him he would bite me so bad I would jump up and obie would

fall to the floor.. Yet, he wanted to be petted. I tried to make him an

indoor cat and he destroyed my screens. Hundreds of dollars worth of

screens! So, I let him out and eventually he was eaten by a coyote. But,

I couldn't keep him inside. He wanted to be outside and he was neutered.

I have not ever gotten another cat. I guess there are just cat people

and dog people. Cats also get up on your shelves and counters and tops

of furniture and knock things off and they shatter...I have lost some

nice stuff from Obie....ahahhaahaha h Joyce

had one cat in my lifetime that was given to me as a kitten by my sister

, who is a cat person. The little yellow and white thing was sooo

cute and playful that I could not resist. I named him .

hated me. He brought me stuff----dead birds, squirrels, remnants of

roadkill ; the neighborhood dogs were afraid of him and would run away.

Small children in the neighborhood shrieked and ran to their mamas when

showed up. He was baaaaad! He should have been named Jeckyl.

He would curl around my feet and jump in my lap, rubbing at my arms for

me to pet him and when I did, he would latch on for dear life until he

drew blood. Yep, Jeckyl would have fit him better than . I gave

him up as community property in the

melted and was suddenly filled with joy at the sight of these tiny balls

all curled up together asleep. I sat and watched them as they awoke and

started exploring and playing together. I didn't want to disturb them

since the mama wasn't there and I was afraid that she might abandon

them if I messed with them, but they were on a dirt and rock floor! I

proceeded to take a tarp and put if down for them to sleep on and in the

process of course I had to handle them...Uh oh.

wandered off and searched behind every nook and cranny but no, mama had

moved him.. Oh well, two still left to lift my spirits; and they

did...Watching them explore the greenhouse that night as I talked to

them and then finally have them come over to me. I had to hold and pet

them!

So sad, crying yesterday morning when I checked on her. Still crying

when I came home in the afternoon and still crying last night. I picked

her up and held her and talked to her almost hoping mama would leave her

for me.

little ones, but sad that they are gone. Oh well, as I said I am not a
