I gave up cats a few years ago...and yeah, You can spend 15 dollars on cat toys...soak them in 10 dollars worth of catnip, and they would rather play with the little thing that comes off the gallon milk jug when you open it.
Spend $300 on beds and places for them to lay around.....but COX cable brought them their FAVORITE little cat bed and hooked it up to my Samsung TV. Before that....they would rather lay on my nursing notes if I have them in a nice little pile on the coffee table.
I love the cats.....I miss the cats, but I now have hardwood floors in a RENTED apartment, so I have been afraid to find a cat again.
I do go see my old cats though. Ativan, Xanax and Percodan are all doing just fine at two other friend's house
I did just find a "jesus clip" in one of the fish tanks though. One of the ten or so I've lost in the last couple years...somehow knew it WOULDN'T be lost if it landed on hardwood floors, so it made SURE to land in the 46 gallon bowfront. Also found an old "eject mechanism" spring BEHIND that same tank...which I had lost when working on a GE 3" color TV/boombox/micro cassette about three months ago. YAY!!!
