it's almost worse because of the FIV.

No more kitties until the 2 we still have move on. I won't risk passing that virus to another kitty and the 2 remaining are likely carriers at this point.

Oh well, maybe it will become an excuse to get a doggie once again in the future. Love the kitties, but I've missed having a game of fetch in the yard for 20 years now.

Happy Sunday SCE, hope it is filled with naps for both of us.

in Colorado this week. One good thing in a sad week is that most of our pets were rescued, some by National Guard chinooks. Even most of our cattle, horses, donkeys, lamas too. Though some of our wildlife, squirrels, prairie dogs, and birds were drowned, most of the big guys, the bears, elk, deer, mountain lions and moose got to higher ground; they have a sixth sense I wish people had. Thanks SCE

"Yoo so byootifool"
"twins"
"become the squirrel"
"da parakeet"
"my own tail"
"pillage ur village"
"push this button" Reminds of the joke about the polar bears looking at an igloo. "Try one. They're good. Hard and crunchy on the outside; soft and gooey on the inside."
"matching booties"
"box on the floor"
"takin' a bath"
"masquito"
"pathetic"
"food critic"
"Effishuncie cat"
"Dryer lint." That explains it!
"in the eyes"

Those plastic Scoop Away containers were the best. I use two as small trash cans in different rooms and a couple others to store dishes that belonged to my grandmother. I tried to think of the safest possible way to store the dishes without any chance of them breaking and those containers worked out perfect. I wrapped each dish and then lined the areas around the dishes inside the Scoop Away container with more wrapping. So far, they have stayed safe even after being moved several times.

My aunt asked me to save some of those plastic containers for her too. She has used them to store her knickknacks and even books. They don't break down or attract bugs like cardboard boxes. They stack nearly on top of each other too, if you save the lids, which I always did.

When Scoop Away quit making those, I wrote the company. They told me the cardboard boxes were more environmentally friendly. I think not. No Scoop Away plastic container ever got thrown away at my house. Everyone in my family wanted me to save them for them to use too. They were great. Too bad the company quit making those. Just as I had decided to take all of my stuff from storage that was in cardboard boxes and move it all to the Scoop Away containers, the company quit making them. It would have been perfect, because they stack so neatly and you can cram more stuff in a much smaller space than you can with cardboard boxes. Sometimes I think I wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for family heirlooms that I keep having to check on and re-box to keep safe in storage.

Unintended consequences defined. They go eco friendly (or so they think) and you lose a great product for storing things that you and your family rely on, and that you came upon by never throwing away the normally disposable.

Argh.

Haz Happy Sunday!

Glad you recovered from your birthday excesses - you did excesses, right? - and are back on the job. I'm a kitteh person, but gotta love the angst of the tail-catching dog, and I am so stealing the dryer lint one because it explains so much about my laundry.

Have lots of happy naps

I did. Excessive sloth. Steal away, it was stolen in the first place.

One perfect nap in the books, and another on the way once I catch up. Have a great day and week to come!

It is a cold and rainy Fall Equinox morning here in the Pacific Northwest.

Thank you all for the smiles, chuckles, and heart-warming pics.

Now, I need to go find a box, so I can convince my kitteh to get off my lap. I can't fry bacon while seated at teh kompooter.

Wishing everyone a happy Fall season.

I have a foster puppy right now. He doesn't chase his tail so much any more since he caught it and chomped down on it. What a yelp!

Thanks for the Sunday squee, SCE!

That kitten closeup is a beautiful picture.

And the bears cartoon....

You gotta wonder where that black fur came from in the last picture..... Hmmmm.

Hope you have a wonderful day. It is too cold here today for my liking, but I guess I have to deal with it. Well, me and my kitty and my blankie.

You did see the thread wishing you a Happy Birthday, didn't you? You are just so popular!

Although I don't comment much, rest assured that I *DO* read these every week, and appreciate the effort you put into doing this. Depending on which sleep cycle I'm in, it's either a way to start, or end, the day with a lot of laughs. Today, it is ending the day with them.

Thanks for the great job, my friend!

Peace,

and you Sunday LOLcats are one of the highlights of my week. Always make me smile. Even through finishing grad school, a surgery, divorce and job instability, I can't wait to see them each Sunday. Sometimes I even start looking for them a day early, then remember, "Oh, yeah, it's Saturday. Darn."

I just wanted to say thank you. You make a difference.

but I have a tardy pass.

Was happy to see so many beautiful orange and white kittehs this week - I have one named Georgy who rules the roost with sweetness. Hey, that's HIM - "standin' dere cookin' bacon!"

But, as usual, ALL of them are priceless and thoroughly enjoyable. I can only reiterate all the gratitude and smiles others express on this most popular Sunday thread.

Have a sooooooper week as we head into fall.

I loved the kitteh "selfies," not to mention the kitteh who objects to having his/her photos posted, and of course that tiny white dog! And I admit that the bear cartoon really did make me You've outdone yourself, as usual, and made everyone's Sunday, once again!

In "It's time we talk about the photos..." I love how the cat is sitting both on top of the newspaper and the notebook computer. Note how this bars any interaction with anything but the cat. Schemers, they are!

That kitty on the tiny bed may be the cutest cat pic ever!

SCE, can you believe this thread has had over 4000 views? The popularity is heart-warming to those of us who love animals. You don't come to this thread unless you love animals.

It's nice to know so many love their animals, and the stories told by others about theirs. Tales of how the pics match antics of furkids still with them, or long since gone across the bridge. The pics that look just like animals they have, or had. The memories, the laughter, and the tears. Each week brings new ones, and they make doing this a joy instead of a task.

Schemers that steal your heart so well, that you never want it back.

Have a great week.
