Lonzie is the mellowest cat who ever lived. He's the only cat I've ever known who likes to be brushed. I thought my boy was going to frick the fuck out when I groomed his black ass a little while ago.

And I think he's going to come off the anorexic schtick. He's drinking a lot of water and using the litter box, and he's started to eat a little bit. I think so far he's been just reveling in the privacy and quiet my place affords him. Until he moved in with me, he'd lived almost his whole life (14 months) in a shelter, so I don't imagine he'd gotten much of a chance to chill. And he is DIGGING it here and sleeping like a mofo.

No, I'm not going to become one of those people. I'll post about something other than my cat sometime soon. SO DON'T TEASE ME ABOUT MY PUSSY.

oh one more thing..

invest in some pet grass. cats LOVE it, and it keeps them away from your house plants (if you have any) you can buy one thats already grown, or you can grow your own from seeds. I've had more luck growing my own just because the little container the pre-made ones come in are too light and when the cats try to eat the plant it tips over or moves all around and they can't get a good mouthful.

and if you're thinking about getting a scratching post, get this one..

its got catnip all cooked into the cardboard so if lonzie is anything like my two stoners he'll spend the majority of his day scratching and rubbing himself on the thing. and theres a little cutout on the bottom left that has a catnip filled mouse dangling so they can stick their little paw in and attack it. best investment EVER.

Wow, thanks for the ideas! I'll look into that this weekend. Did your Wal-Mart have that in the store, or did you get it online?

I actually didn't get it at walmart at all. I got mine at petco but when I looked on their website for it I could only find the replacement cardboards. so I checked walmart.com and it came up..and for a little cheaper than I paid at petco. I'm telling you - we have leather couches and they've never ONCE dragged a claw across them. my cats love the scratcher so much that we have the main one (with the incline and toy) downstairs, and upstairs I just put the cardboard replacements down and they go wild on them too.

hows the big man doin?
