Might be a combo of the two...

...but I'm laying my bets on the 4 year old. :)

HomeInMyShoes Yeah, it's hard to talk about things when there's someone yelling "is Gobo talking!"

It's hard to read with puppets on your hands.

You can take care of the fees at your leisure of course, we trust you.

Welcome back. Don't forget the mixer tonight.

message 1566: by Lee (new)

Lee | 939 comments I love the Loki one :)
The Tony one reminds of somekind of weird Ironman Cross Dressing thing... or maybe I've seen too much fan art?
I actually really like the Capt America (my fav super hero).
The Loki is the best one though. Fans instantly recognize the pattern. But its not too cos play looking for non fans either.


message 1567: by Felina (new)

Felina I want the Loki one too. Ha ha.


message 1568: by Felina (new)

Felina In breaking news, one of my cats vomited on my Kindle. I was gone all day yesterday and I had left it on the couch on Friday night so I'm not even sure how long it has been in that state. It was fully dried. I just ran it under the faucet and cleaned it gently until everything was off. It still appears to be working so hopefully...

message 1570: by Lee (new)

Lee | 939 comments I didn't click on and see the other patterns. I like the Hulk one too. And the Thor one. :)

Lee | 939 comments My cat loves to lay on my nooks. Luckily he hasn't thrown up on any of them. *** KNOCK ON WOOD ***

ally  ¯\(ツ)/¯ (allykennedy) | 168 comments My cat used to always lay down on the TV remote. Increased her odds of being picked up. Smart creatures.

Mine too, except they really love the carpet.

They'll be half an inch away from the freaking tile, but, no, it *has* to be on the carpet.

Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 1381 comments I have a basket where I put my graphic T-shirts and polos that have to be "special washed". At night I'll hear Luna...choking up a hairball on my shirts.

Cats own the world...

I hope your kindle is okay. My cousin dropped a cup of cranberry juice on the display side of my kindle. After cleaning it profusely, it still functions properly. So it seems to have good durability on stuff like that. Cant say anything about the smell on your case though. lol Still have not forgiven the cousin.

Yep, has to be the carpet. There's hardwood everywhere in the house except the basement and she'll go there to puke. I'm remedying that situation with a basement renovation.

MrsJoseph *grouchy* (mrsjoseph) | 5312 comments lol


message 1583: by ally ¯\(ツ)/¯ (new)

ally  ¯\(ツ)/¯ (allykennedy) | 168 comments So... what you are saying is if you remove all the carpet, the cats will puke in the toilet?


message 1584: by colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster! (new)

colleen the convivial curmudgeon (blackrose13) | 2976 comments I have a feeling if I removed all the carpet, they'd puke in my shoes or something.

We removed the carpet in all areas the cat had access to (she was shut out of the bedrooms because she was a wire-chewer). My dad bought a new pair of slippers and my cat puked in them the same day. She also aimed for doormats and, well, anything soft. "

One of ours is a wire chewer, too. I don't know how many pair of headphones I've gone through from forgetting to put them away at night...


message 1588: by Lee (new)

Lee | 939 comments My house is pretty much baby proofed for our cats. They are so much trouble. Adorably cute trouble. But trouble. When they were kittens they flooded the bathroom and hall. My boy loves to drink water from the faucet. We turn it on a drip for him. But the first sink we had (it later got broken - but that's another story) it was easier for him to turn it on himself. Well - he turned it on while we were asleep. And his brother had this habit of pulling stuff with his mouth - including the sink stopper (it was the kind that pulls up). And so together they flooded the bathroom.


message 1589: by Mike (the Paladin) (new)

Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 1381 comments They calm down a bit as they get older. Our cats are both mature (actually Xander is 17+ so he's rated geriatric). Mostly they lay around with only an occasional impulse to knock things off or run through the house.

Teamwork! :p


message 1591: by Laurel (new)

Laurel I know this is a downer message, but to hear that more Nigerian girls have been kidnapped. I just don't have the words today. I wish I could call forth armies and find a way to get those girls back.


message 1592: by Mike (the Paladin) (new)

Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 1381 comments I know. Persecution is still rampant, we just don't look at it. We can't stop it as are we willing to send an army? Then where do we stop? But I know how you feel, injustice should be what we stand against. Sadly politics of power and wealth tend to outweigh justice, mercy, and equality of rights.

I know how you feel.


message 1593: by Felina (new)

Felina My Kindle is working fine and it does not smell like vomit. I actually have never noticed a smell from cat vomit. O_o

The majority of my house is carpet (which I will be fixing someday) and I find the cats random vomit. Sometimes I'm lucky and it's in the kitchen or bathroom but otherwise it's wherever they feel most comfortable so usually the library.

Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 1381 comments The times you hate finding it most are when you are barefoot and find it by accident....

Felina Very true. I always turn on the lights during night time bathroom visits.

message 1597: by Felina (new)

Felina It's only happened to me twice and I've had cats my whole life. Cats are totally worth it.

...except when the chunks go between your toes.

It's amazing how quickly you become desensitized to it :) Haha!


message 1599: by Mike (the Paladin) (new)

Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 1381 comments Don't let that put you off cats. They can be great companions.

Also I grew up on a farm. A hairball is far from the worst thing I've stepped in.


message 1600: by DoodlePanda (new)

DoodlePanda | 506 comments I've had cats my whole childhood to be fair, and never stepped in cat vomit :)
The reason I don't have one now is because I can't due to my living situation.
