Maybe we need an underground railroad for the cats to move them to more cat friendly states :D
if so, then i volunteer for the position of 'harriet tubman'! :D
Harriet Tubman and like-minded individuals are always needed! :D
Check out the news story at the link below - a service to help you understand what your dog is saying when it barks. We need a volunteer to test it and report back.
When we still had a dog I was a dog-person (he died in 1994 after nearly 16 years 
). Since then we gathered 7 cats - now I'm a cat person... (accordingly they gathered themselves - cats are like Tribbles).
Well...er... they didn't reproduce by...er...you know...:sex: 
. They just were there one day... (1 wished, 2 saved, 4 strayed to us)

Dogs have masters, cats have servants! it's a well known fact of life :D
this is (queen) Lizzy in our house
May I introduce our maddest cat: Hildegard (aka Hillu) (ca. 11 months old now)
"Come on touch me! - I won't hurt you!"
I prefer dogs...even though I've owned two cats for the last several years...well...actually, I only own one now, since the other cat went to meet her maker last week...
I'm sorry to hear that.
We lost one of ours at the beginning of this May. The poor boy was old and rickety...

So how much does that fat cat in the post above weigh? Dunno if you saw the link to a photo in my first post in this thread to a cat that my parents have, KC weighs in at about 33 pounds.
Well... Our Dicky has about 10-11 kilograms. She was already in that shape when she strayed to us. She is obviously a house-only cat who in mysterious ways got lost, and stood in front of our door some day. She is not very interested in going outside. She can't pass through the cat door anyway :\ohwell: .
I have two cats. They are shit. And they´ve pissed systemstically over my entire record collection. One day, I will microwave them.....
Ah, the downside of having cats, the ruination of furniture and record collection, I do sympathize with you on that.
Oh, Bere, yes there is a word that exists for that, you just forgot one "m" , it'd be slimmed :) I think that my dad's cat has got the edge on yours, weight-wise.

Oh thanks I remember - slime is something else...
Thanks...

my two boys are lovely. 
gorrie--named after john gorrie, the refrigeration pioneer, who was from the town my parents lived in when they got him. he used to climb in the fridge every time they opened it and they couldn't get him out, hence his name. a few months ago he took off out the door and went on a five week 'vacation'. my parents, convinced he was dead, got another cat. gorrie returned and, as they could not have three cats in their apartment, gave him to me where he joined...
tyrone--16 pounds of pure love. named after christopher guest's character in 'the princess bride'. i fell in love with him at the pound a few months back when my parents and i were there looking for gorrie. he was full-grown and getting close to the dreaded 'last cage,' the cage after which lethal injection is the punishment for not being a cute and cuddly kitten who is easy to adopt.
sadly, my parents' older cat (who i consider my brother) was put to sleep two weeks ago after a short illness (possibly the early stages of cancer). he was 14 or 15. we don't really know how old he was as he was an adult when we adopted him; we had him since 1993. his ashes now sit in a tin on my parents' dining room table, his favourite spot. the new cat, ernie, hates everyone but my parents and has attacked me, unprovoked, while i've been on the toilet, talking on the phone, and doing laundry, among other things. i call him patty mccormack, after the actress in the film 'the bad seed'. i can picture him perfectly with that long blonde hair and those braids, the little twit.

Wow...Hildegard looks very much like my Jasmine (the now deceased kitty cat)...

I once had a gerbil and it got some spine grippling disease and had to be put down but I got over it!

Am a bit tired of that gerbil myself.....

Good idea :D
Or I might tell him that our Birma cat ate him
