[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:03:51 PM EDT] <The_Bee> HI KK!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:03:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:03:56 PM EDT] <KK> Hello, all.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:03:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Bee, hi KK
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:04:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello KK
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:04:08 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:04:24 PM EDT] <KK> So, hs everyone been baking in the heat?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:04:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How is your knee, KK?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:04:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hot here but nothing compared to Oregon. We did get rain yesterday Yay
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:05:10 PM EDT] * bynw doesnt go outside if he can avoid it. and has the AC set to 70
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:05:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We're in our second heatwave of the month.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:05:25 PM EDT] <KK> Knee is doing much better. And I've gotten a lead on a supplement that may help a lot. I'm going to try it.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:05:37 PM EDT] <bynw> but then its only 81 here right now. we had a big heat wave the previous week or so. hit 3 digits
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:05:57 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> P keep my ac 77-78 to save energy
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:06:16 PM EDT] <KK> It was in the 80s here today, much cooler than forecast--thank God!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:06:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Glad the knee is feeling better
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:06:43 PM EDT] <The_Bee> We're supposed to get cooler and wetter in July.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:06:59 PM EDT] <KK> I'm sure physio is helping.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:07:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Ohysio is good
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:07:42 PM EDT] <KK> I believe that Oregon is getting clobbered.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:08:47 PM EDT] <KK> I've been working on getting some of the clutter culled and organized here. Boring, but it has to be done.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:08:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I got the results of Melantha's urinalysis. She has a 95% chance of developing chronic kidney disease in the next 24 months.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:08:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> The whole pacific northwest and over as far as Montana is under this awful heat dome
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:09:11 PM EDT] <bynw> that's sad news Bee
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:09:19 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, dear. Will she eat the kidney prescribed cat food?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:09:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Excessive heaat in much of thewest.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:09:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Poor kitty...
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:09:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Bee is there snything they csn do to prevent or slow it down?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:10:08 PM EDT] <KK> They say that kidney diet can help, if they'll eat it.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:10:18 PM EDT] <The_Bee> No, melantha won't . Loss of appetite is one symptom. Her food grows mold waiting to be eaten.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:10:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Kittys are not alwys cooperative patients. You can't explain that it's for their own good
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:11:00 PM EDT] <KK> How about the dry idney formula?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:12:01 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Does she drink water
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:12:38 PM EDT] <bynw> getting cats to take medicine is herculean at best
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:13:11 PM EDT] <The_Bee> She eats some dry, but too much uneaten. I need to ask the vet about something that's supposed to help with appetite and weight loss.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:14:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I'm not sure how much water. She's been producing very little urine or feces.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:14:44 PM EDT] <KK> Good luck. I hope you can find a workable procedure.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:14:58 PM EDT] <KK> Does she drink milk?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:15:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thanks. I hope so too.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:15:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Iiii hope so too
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:16:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> The reported recommended tesst every 3 months.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:16:48 PM EDT] <The_Bee> tests
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:17:10 PM EDT] <KK> I guess all you can do is pray, and follow vet's directions, and treasure your time with her.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:17:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Yes.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:17:33 PM EDT] <bynw> milk can lead to diarrhea in adult cats though, might not be the best option but it could be an option
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:18:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I could accept if her cancer returned, but I don't want to feel as if I could have done more for her.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:19:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Sonds like you are doing all you can.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:19:05 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Goat milk is something she might be able to ddrink
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:19:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I hid her pills in tuna. it worked once or twice; then she caught on.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:20:05 PM EDT] <KK> You're a good cat mommy, Bee. It may be that her time is just approaching. Love her and cherish the memories.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:20:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> They always do catch on
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:20:33 PM EDT] <DesertRose> What KK said, Bee.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:20:41 PM EDT] <bynw> speaking of kitties. mine has decided that she needs to be in my lap
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:20:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Agreed
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:21:02 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Thanks. I'll try. But I feel guilty about fantasizing about a new cat.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:21:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Mine is complaining vociferously about something.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:21:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I mean, Carys is made mostly of Velcro anyway; she likes to be where I am, preferably on me.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:21:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How much does yours weigh, bynw?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:21:51 PM EDT] <bynw> 12 lbs give or take
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> waves hello to the group
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:23 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hullo Shira
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I thought a Bengal cat would be bigger.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> +l
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:30 PM EDT] <KK> Gus is spending much more time on my lap since we moved to the new house.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Shiral
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:32 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Right this minute, she's on the sewing chair, but that means that she has line of sight on me and can furthermore nap without being subject to silly human nonsense like needing tea.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:32 PM EDT] <bynw> hi shiral
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:37 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi Shiral!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:43 PM EDT] <bynw> if she was a he probably so
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:22:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:23:07 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Shiral. Flat cat syndrome at your house?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:23:08 PM EDT] <The_Bee> How are you and the pigmy lions coping with the heat?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:24:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> No, actually it's pretty mild here, this week. Oregon and Washington State are getting hit hard, though.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:24:16 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Gus may be spending more time on your lap because he's afraid it will disappear again
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:24:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> And many of them don't have air conditioners.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:24:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> He has to make sure you're anchored at home, KK
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:25:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> It's warm here, but we're not really having an unusually hot spell where I am
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:25:12 PM EDT] <KK> That could be it.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:25:55 PM EDT] <The_Bee> When I returned after therapy, Melantha got more clingy for a while--after she hid under my neighbor's bed.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:25:55 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> sets up a chatroom ice cream sundae bar in case anyone needs cooling off
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:26:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Bless you! nom nom nom
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:26:31 PM EDT] <bynw> lap time is always short lived. my bengal baby has never been much of a lap cat. so if she gives it, i have to fully give it my attention
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:26:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hi y'all
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:26:41 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Yummy ice cream
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:26:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Catherine Windsor

[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:27:14 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> When I'm in my TV chair, I'm quite popular with both cats. But Tati never settles in for long
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:27:22 PM EDT] * The_Bee adds maple syrup. honey and strawberries to the sundae bar.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:27:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> adds Italian Ice to the sundae bar
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:27:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi CW

[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:29:32 PM EDT] * TheDeryni waves
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:29:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> My DH go Chocolate nut sundae that he said had nuts all the way to the bottom. He's still talking about it
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:30:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Must have been a good one
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:30:02 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> 🤣
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:30:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi TD. How are you?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:02 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Long day today. But now trying to relax.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Nice to get a sundae that has nuts all the way through it
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:09 PM EDT] <bynw> hi TD
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi everyone!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:20 PM EDT] <bynw> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:22 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:25 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Hello, Sire
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:34 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:40 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Ooo, no! No nuts on my sundae please.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:42 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Hey Jerusha
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:31:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hi Jerusalem
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:32:06 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Some people here are nuts every Sunday.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:32:20 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> 😄
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:32:22 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Err... Sundae
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:32:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Some of us are nuts more often than that.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:32:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Some people are nuts all the time
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:32:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Jerusha
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:32:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Just saving them for the winter months, you know...
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:32:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Tee hee
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:32:53 PM EDT] <bynw> sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you dont (never liked that candy bar though)
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:32:59 PM EDT] * The_Bee likes peppermint ice cream with fudge sauce.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:33:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> My iPad seems to have forgotten all it training!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:33:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I pack 'em into my cheeks to save for later. 😉
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:33:04 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Me neither
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:33:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I'm not a fan of coconut, so yeah, not my jam either.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:33:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL Bethane
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:33:25 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Almond Joy? Oh, that's are truly delightful! 🙂
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:33:27 PM EDT] <bynw> me either
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:33:30 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Peanut buster parfait with soft chocolate ice cream
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:33:30 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> I like Mounds though
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:33:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Alergic to coconut
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:34:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I missed church service because my computer took nearly an hout to warm up today.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:34:09 PM EDT] <KK> No coconut for me. But mint ice cream with hot fudge sauce sounds great!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:34:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> My fav is mint chocolate chip
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:34:20 PM EDT] <bynw> i'm not allergic to it myself. i just find the taste to be horrific
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:34:37 PM EDT] <The_Bee> or Hood Green Monster Mint.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:34:44 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If it's actually FRESH coconut, fine. But most of what's out there is . . . not.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:34:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> bynw, my ol' man feels the same way. So I never make german-chocolate cake around here. sad
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:34:53 PM EDT] <DesertRose> So I mostly don't bother.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:35:04 PM EDT] <KK> Fresh coconut right out of the shell is pretty good.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:35:33 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> But you really have to WORK to get it ou
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:35:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> My mom made a coconut cake a few years ago, and Mom doesn't mess about with baking, so it was actually really good. But mostly, meh.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:35:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Hi KK
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:35:47 PM EDT] <KK> I think it's the texture that I object to--especially shredded coconut, which is usually dry.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:36:05 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Catherine.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:36:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ick for so many reasons
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:36:11 PM EDT] <bynw> the texture is bad too
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:36:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> What about toasted coconut, like on Samoa girl scout cookies?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:36:17 PM EDT] <The_Bee> or drop the coconut on the floor. But then you lose the coconut milk.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:36:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I'm very fond of coconut, but somehow, rarely make anything with it
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:36:51 PM EDT] <bynw> blah
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:37:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> lol
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:37:17 PM EDT] <KK> Re getting it out, I fondly remember my father slamming coconuts on the ground until the outside husk cracked enough that he could pry it open with a screwdriver. And then he'd go to worrk onthe inside shell, and finally gt the milk out and open the shell. Fun memories.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:37:25 PM EDT] * TheDeryni waves to Catherine...........and.........Katherine while he's at it.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:37:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't have much use for coconut milk by itself, but it makes some yummy sauces.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:37:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I love the taste of coconut, but dislike the texture. 🤷‍♀️
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:38:11 PM EDT] <bynw> my wife had several cans of coconut milk/water she had for some shakes and stuff she was making. i gave them away because i would have to throw them away otherwise
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:38:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The fresh-produce version of beating the daylights out of a bag of ice to break it up.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:38:31 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I just don't have the patience to mess with coconut
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:38:31 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> I made fried coconut shrimp last night........but woke up before I could try it.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:38:47 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:38:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> 😄
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:38:50 PM EDT] <KK> Always good to pass on perfectly good items when they aren't to one's taste.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:38:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> LOL!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:39:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Darn, I hate it when I wake up and find I didn't really cook the meal!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:39:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> to TD's dream
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:39:16 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, DR!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:39:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> KK, was he working on the total coconut, or just the seed inside, what we see in grocery stores now?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:39:38 PM EDT] <bynw> that dream sounds like a nightmare to me
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:39:45 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Or wake up to find you cooked it, but don't have to eat it
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:39:50 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Lol
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:40:11 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Fortunately, I rarely dream
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:40:12 PM EDT] <DesertRose> BRB, I made the mistake of disturbing the desk drawer that holds the laser light toy, so Her Serene Feline Majesty beckons.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:40:34 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I dream way too often
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:40:43 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Got Dmitri and Tati a new catnip toy last week. Dmitri went nuts over it
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:41:15 PM EDT] <bynw> everybody dreams. its just recalling the dream after you awaken
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:41:20 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> And then there's Daydreams.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:41:24 PM EDT] <The_Bee> MIckey is a catnip nut. not Melantha
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:41:43 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I remember my dreams often enough that I have to check whether I dreamt something or actually did the thing.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:42:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I have a few things that I'm not sure are dreams or memories.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:42:45 PM EDT] <bynw> with my two begnals. kagi is like a mean drunk with catnip so i only sprinkle it out rarely. her sister, andi (who passed a few years ago) didn't pay any attention to catnip at all
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:43:18 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> I hear you Bee. I feel that way with my wife sometimes. (ex)
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:43:28 PM EDT] <KK> Some cats have the genes for catnip and other don't.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:43:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> about 50-50
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:43:58 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Tati likes to roll around ecstatically in fresh catnip sometimes. But it's not a mania with her.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:44:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Apparently a lot of kittens don't respond to catnip; it seems to be mostly a mature-adult-cat thing.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:44:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Pete goes nuts for cathip, Murray ignores it
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:45:09 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Evie's Luke loved peas.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:45:19 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys loves it, but she doesn't get mean. She's more like someone who is one toke over the line; she's even more chill than usual and has the munchies.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:45:26 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> My cats used to drink bean water
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:45:44 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Mine pay attention to their catnip toys about every six months, then they got nuts over them for all of 6 minutes. I don't sprinkle it because they give it a passing sniff. 🙄
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:45:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Merlin the Manx Menace likes green beans, but I have yet to figure out whether he eats them or just likes playing with them.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:46:26 PM EDT] <bynw> i had a cat once that went nuts around fruit. you couldnt eat any kind of fruit without getting that cat in your face
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:46:27 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I had a cat who love peas with pearl onions. She would pick out the onions first, then drink the juice, then eat the peas
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:46:45 PM EDT] <bynw> ok that is WEIRD DFK
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:46:50 PM EDT] <KK> Weird, DF.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:46:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri plays with asparagus.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:47:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Catarina (one of the family cats who is waiting over the Bridge) loved canned mandarin oranges.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:47:18 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I know. Only cat I ever had that liked onions
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:47:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And also canned pinto beans.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:47:52 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I've had cats who would find a petrified pea on the kitchen floor and proceed to play pea hockey
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:48:01 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Smart cat to remove the onions. I've read that onions, garlic and similar plants a deadly for cats.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:48:01 PM EDT] <KK> Are onions ok for cats? Because they aren't good for dogs.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:48:03 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Do beans affect your cat like they do people
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:48:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> No, they're not good for cats.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:48:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I mean, clearly DFK's cat managed, but generally, garlic and onions and anything else in that plant family (shallots, scallions) are not good for cats or dogs.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:48:44 PM EDT] <The_Bee> DFK----make them fart?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:48:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> That would be the pea-wee league, Shiral
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:48:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> My two like to steal what I'm eating. They've learned "onions" and "garlic" and walks off.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:49:00 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Welll she ate the canned oions and lived to a ripe old age
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:49:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Garlic is very bad, I've read.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:49:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I don't remember one way or the other about Catarina's gut and the beans, but given that she lived to be 20, it can't have done any serious damage.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:49:59 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> Anything in the alum family - onions, garlic, chives - can kill cats.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:50:39 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Does it make a difference that they are canned, not raw. She never ate any raw ones
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:50:40 PM EDT] <KK> That also includes lilies.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:50:50 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> So the graduate before killing cats?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:50:58 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Okay. I'll stop
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:51:19 PM EDT] <bynw> easter lilies can be deadly to cats
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:51:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Lilies of any sort.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:51:31 PM EDT] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:51:37 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I forget lilies are alum.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:51:37 PM EDT] <DesertRose> DO NOT KEEP LILIES NEAR CATS.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:51:48 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Or cats near lillies
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:52:19 PM EDT] <The_Bee> and daffodils? or are they just poisonous to humans?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:52:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That too, but since Carys is a permanent fixture of my household, no lilies here.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:52:32 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> The way my boys like to chew things there's no plants inside my house.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:52:46 PM EDT] <bynw> you have to be careful with essential oils too. they can cause harm to cats
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:53:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I researched the herb garden before I planted it, even though I have no intention of letting Carys eat any of it, just in case she got at something before I caught her.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:53:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Dmitri likes Feline Ikebana. The flowers can be anywhere but NOT in the vase
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:53:42 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (Basil, rosemary, and thyme are all reasonably cat safe, as are marigolds, but my marigolds have bitten the dust.)
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:54:07 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I just planted some marigolds in my color bowl about 2 weeks ago
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:54:17 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Given Carys' tendency to shred paper, I haven't tried to keep cut or potted plants indoors.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:54:31 PM EDT] <KK> I'm still discovering what already grows in my new yard. Must plant some daffodils this fall.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:54:49 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The herb garden is in a container on the balcony, and Carys gets to go outside (in her harness) with me when I go take care of it.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:54:58 PM EDT] * bynw is not a druid and if the plant isnt made out of plastic, wire, or other artificial material it wont last long
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:55:09 PM EDT] <KK> lol
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:55:13 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Lol
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:55:17 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> ditto
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:55:24 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I'm afraid I have a brown thumb, so my cats are safe
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:55:29 PM EDT] <The_Bee> ditto ditto
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:55:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, silk lilies ought to be okay.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:56:44 PM EDT] <bynw> i wouldnt have any room for them anyway
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:56:52 PM EDT] <KK> Oh, before I go, bought a new (to me) Subaru this week. Cameron sourced in Texas, fetched it on Friday, and is driving it to me tomorrow, to arrive Tuesday. THen he'll take the old one back to Oklahoma. New one is Michaeline blue. :-)
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Woo-hoo!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:08 PM EDT] <bynw> nice
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> Nice!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> How fitting!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:12 PM EDT] <Eris> <Catherine Windsor> I had to have a couple of trees cut down a couple of months ago. Now I have grass growing where I had moss. I'll be planting a pollinator garden.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:13 PM EDT] <bynw> he's such a good kid
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Subarus are good cars.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> COOL!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:20 PM EDT] <bynw> takes care of his momma
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:27 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yup, good kiddo.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:28 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> What model, KK?
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:44 PM EDT] <KK> Woo-hoo, indeed. It's practically new, only about 25,000 miles on it. 2018.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:57:57 PM EDT] <KK> An Outback, like the old one.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:06 PM EDT] <TheDeryni> Nice!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:06 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> I did some work out in my patio area this morning. And I've been replanting my flower pots
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:08 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> Subarus are super reliable cars. Good for you. Love the color
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:09 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I want an Outback, just not quite yet
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:11 PM EDT] <KK> Tan leather interior. Backup camera!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> Hope it serves you well, KK
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:15 PM EDT] <The_Bee> "Love. It'swhat makes a Subaru a Subaru."
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> I adore my backup camera!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:42 PM EDT] <bynw> that'
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:47 PM EDT] <bynw> s really good milage
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:50 PM EDT] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Oh dear, I read that as "backup camel"
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:54 PM EDT] <Eris> <Bethane> heh
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:58:56 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:59:05 PM EDT] <KK> Oooop, on that note, gotta run. My real estate agent is dropping by at 8pm, and we close on the sale of my apartment building this week.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:59:06 PM EDT] * bynw adjusts Jerusha's eyes
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:59:07 PM EDT] <The_Bee> LOL!
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:59:13 PM EDT] <Eris> <derynifank> I think backup cameras are standard on all new cars but not sure when it started
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:59:21 PM EDT] <Eris> <Shiral> "Car's not working today, so I guess I'll use the back up camel."
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:59:29 PM EDT] <bynw> LOL Shiral
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:59:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I know my stepdad's 2012 Ford Fusion has a backing camera.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:59:33 PM EDT] <bynw> have a good night KK
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:59:35 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Bye, KK. Hope all goes well.
[Sunday, June 27, 2021] [7:59:36 PM EDT] <KK> ?me ssteps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
