blondeyy The Amazing Peezles! Aug 29, 2009 11:39 PM Pipi, aka Peezles, is a Hemingway.  Does anyone know what that is?  It is a polydactyl.  She has six toes on both front paws.  She is part of an elite group of cats that are bred specifically for their fabulous personality, exceptional demeanor.  Ernest Hemingway was known to have hundreds of polydactyls on his property, and they are still there today.  She is quite a cat.  She thinks she is human.  She will try to sit and have a conversation with people - meowing of course - but in a way that it makes one think she is conversing with ya!  Hilarious!  If anyone else has a polydactyl, Hemingway, let me know - maybe we can exchange their goofy stories, pics, etc.  This is what she looks like when her WATER IS EMPTY!!!!  (Same look when her food bowl is empty).

jennIRL great apartment 'vacuum' for a decent price Oct 5, 2008 9:10 AM i've been holding off on getting a new vacuum, thinking that if i just waited until next paycheck i might be able to afford a nice one (bissell!! sigh). but this weekend i realized that the state of our (already old and ratty) apartment carpet was beyond bad, and i couldn't wait any longer. still didn't have the cash in hand for anything spiffy, so i took a stroll around BB&B looking for some kind of good solution. et voila! i found the vx3 cordless floor and carpet cleaner. it's not actually a vacuum at all -- there's no holding tank or bag or anything like that, just a base with a small compartment. but i have a lot of faith in shark ever since finding the steam mop on the side of the road, taking it home, and finally getting rid of those grease stains on the tile under the stove (hubby likes bacon!)... so i figured, why not. plus, the pictures on the front package of it vacuuming spilled dirt made me think it might be able to handle the ever-present litter problem (our cats are diggers, and i haven't found a solution for this yet aside from constant sweeping and vacuuming). brought it home, and immediately loved the swivel and cordless action. and it sucked up stuff that our old vacuum definitely never got -- litter, cat hair, people hair, dust, you name it. so, all in all, i'm thinking this is a great buy for small apartments with both flooring and carpeting. granted, i've only had it for a day. i'm hoping that due to it's not-vacuum-nature, it won't lose suction over time. anyone else out there have one of these and know for sure?
jennIRL loving the furminator Oct 5, 2008 8:57 AM reached a shedding breakdown (cat hair everywhere, and my vacuum broke!) yesterday, so i finally went to petco and bought a furminator, based on the recommendations of pretty much everyone here. (i also bought a new vacuum, but i'm hoping not to have to use it nearly as much, since that's what -- aside from being cheap -- broke the old one) and everyone was right, this thing is the best. hobbes likes to roll around on the ground and have his belly scritched, and every single time i come away with handfuls of hair. but he did this after i spent just a couple of minutes on him with the furminator, and hardly a hair came out. hallelujah! so now i'm wondering, how often should i furminate? is it safe to do daily (or as often as the cats will allow), or should it only be done every now and then? anyone have any thoughts?
