When the I really thinks that's a myth. Yes, it potentially *could* happen, but it rarely does. I've used the clumping litter since it first came out many years ago, and have had no trouble with any of my cats getting stopped up from ingesting it. They actually ingest very little, if any, of the sand.... My sister works in a veterinary hospital and I asked her if she'd ever heard of any problems with the clumping litter, and out of the thousands of cats she's seen, she's never come across that.... --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: Kitty's Keep BBS * 714-871-2227 * Fullerton, CA * (1:103/441.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 277 CATS Ref: F2P00026 Date: 02/19/98 From: MISS KITTY Time: 12:32am \/To: ROSS SAUER (Read 0 times) Subj: Absence -> How about "Pita?" -> (It's an anagram.)

While I was typing, I -> heard Jean "reasoning" with her about it in the other room. I had a cat a long time ago, named Tommycat. Anyway, biting noses was one of the mischievous things he liked to do. One time I was holding him and talking to some friends out in the driveway, and all of a sudden out of the blue, Tommy bit me on the nose - and it was a good bite too, with his fangs up my nostrils! Out of a pain reaction, I grabbed his ear and bit him back! I'm not sure who was more surprised at that - the cat, my friends, or me! Anyway, Tommy didn't bite me very often after that little episode! hahaha --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: Kitty's Keep BBS * 714-871-2227 * Fullerton, CA * (1:103/441.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 277 CATS Ref: F2P00030 Date: 02/19/98 From: MISS KITTY Time: 12:37am \/To: JO PESHEK (Read 0 times) Subj: Cat toy? -> I also rail against child-proof caps, child-proof Bic -> lighters, warnings on styrocoffee cups that the contents -> may burn one, and mountains of legislation that prevent -> the terminally stupid from being responsible for their -> own well being.

Rosie would sort of slink along, trying not to ring the bell, but Jade trotted everywhere she went to make the bell tinkle more so everyone would look at her and admire her. She still has the cats, she just got rid of the bells. --- QM v1.31 * Origin: Ministry of Peace - Carson City, NV (1:213/700.2) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 277 CATS Ref: F2P00033 Date: 02/19/98 From: BRION LIENHART Time: 10:23am \/To: MISS KITTY (Read 0 times) Subj: ALL KATTY KORNER SYSOPS!

On Sat Feb 14, Leo Noll said to All: -LN> At the library book sale the other day I got Robert Heinlein's -LN> "The Cat Who Walked Through Walls." -LN> Has anyone read it? Did you like it? And if you did or did not -LN> like it, tell me if you liked "Dune". Have you ever read any other Heinlein books? It was one of his last books, and they tended to be long and rambling compared to his earlier works. I'm a big fan of his books, but mostly can't abide anything he published after the late sixties. Cat is a particularly sore spot. It starts out like one of his good older works, then halfway through veers off into his Lazarus Long inter-universal cocktail party, and doesn't have an ending. If you haven't read _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_ and _Time enough for Love_, you won't know who half the people are. It is responsible for the popularity of Pixel as a cat name though. --- QM v1.31 * Origin: Ministry of Peace - Carson City, NV (1:213/700.2)
