> Are you kidding? She’s got a taste for the outside world now. No doubt she’ll be sneaking out to go out

You know it’s funny you said this. Last week I had left the back door open while I was cleaning the pool and looked over to see Sabrina sitting at the door watching me. She was just right inside the doorframe. When I finished cleaning the pool, I started towards the door and she turned around and started to walk back into the kitchen. I honestly think she wants nothing to do with outside anymore, at least not for a long time. She no longer runs to the front door when the doorbell rings. Pretty amazing.

BTW…that video is hilarous. 🙂

Both movies were!  
The people in the business upstairs must be wondering _what the hell?_

Oh, that was good!  
: wipes tear from eye :

**Jesper** was so glad to be home, he kept wanting me to hold him and spank his little bottom.  
When we went to bed finally, he didn’t leave it the entire night.  
He usually sleeps on my hip and gets up in the night, but every time I woke up he was snuggled in. At one point I was wedge in between him and **Yepmas**.  
I was laying on my side snuggled up to **Yepmas** , and **Jesper** comes over, leans up against my back and then kind of slid down so that he was just as close as he could get.  
I loves my kitty. 😃

All the foot work and fliers really helped.  
Now I’m of the opinion that we should probably collar and tag him, but I feel bad about it because last time he hated it but what if he gets out again?

Hey!  
That’s me! 🙂  
I think I said that to **Sanguine\_Spider** (sp?) whilst a bit tipsy or sumpthin’. 😛  
Speaking of which, it seems like it’s been a while since I’ve seen her on the boards. 😕

Yep. All of our kitties now have jingle bell collars and ID tags because of Sabrina. No more sneakin around for them! They do get use to the collars; normally takes them a few days and then they don’t notice anymore. Shoot I put a collar on Sabrina and Lexie, neither of them flinched, Sebastian however hated it (he got over being mad though). We got the break away type collars incase they did get out, but got hung up in a tree or bush it wouldn’t strangle them.

It will ease your mind to collar and tag him, and honestly he will get use to his “jewelry”. 🙂

Sabrina has been sleeping on me since she has returned. If I sleep on my tummy, she is curled up on my shoulder blade; if I am sleeping on my side, she is balanced on my ribcages; and if I am sleeping on my back, she is curled up on my legs. In the past that would have driven me nuts, however; here lately it’s comforting to hear her purring in the middle of the night when I roll over.

I haven’t seen Spider lately either. hrm…hope things are okay.

I suggested to hubby that we get him a little spiked collar, cause it would be too cute.  
Not 2 minutes later, he turns to me and says, “Hey, we should get him a spiked collar” :rolleyes: 😛

Maybe hubby thought you were referring to him the first time. 😉 :eek:

And we need a new quote.

He should know better than that; he doesn’t get a new one until he’s chewed through the old one. 😛

Who said it?  
I’m hoping it’s generic enough even the poster themselves will have to think about it.

Meh, ya punk. 😛  
I thought you might remember considering the search only goes back 500 posts which only put me back to October. :dubious:  
You post too much. 😉

And to answer you question, **tick** ; bating. 😃

(actually it was [being stubborn](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5321847#post5321847), but dammit, it had to be said!)

I have pretty good recall for things I’ve said. 😉 And yeah, I do post too much.

Here’s a new one :

_AHEM_

El número tres is very disappointed in the vast majority of you.

I start a [party thread to wish happy birthday to **BiblioCat**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=288061), one of our most esteemed Brats, and I count all of 2 other Brats that have replied.

Get your asses in there double time or I swear to Og, I’ma sick **Tiggrkitty** on each and everyone of you. :mad:  
You too, **Kitty** -boo, and flog yourself while you go. 😛

I’ve spent the afternoon cruising for a really good place to stick my 1,000th post.

I can’t wait any longer, the anticipation is killing me. So, here it is. 🙂

I just really wish I had thought of something cool to say. _sigh_
