Kirby is very cute. I miss my family cats and can’t have any pets in our apartment so I think I’ve been going extra mushy over cat photos on the internet.

I was looking at the vegan cats website - very interesting. I would like to look into this more as I thought cats were obligatory carnivores. I imagine the food has all the requisite supplements and all - taurine, I think, is the really important one…

As for cat pee on the bed… what have you been using to clean it? Vinegar helps with the big messes and is inexpensive. I used some stuff with an enzyme in it and it works really well too. The other thing to try is one of those sprays that makes cats not want to be near the smell. I had one that smelled like oranges but kept the cats away. Oh yeah, and citrus peel, they hate that. Give it a try sometime - after you eat an orange or something, put some peel near them - they’ll get up and move. Usually. I have one extremely lazy and willful cat that doesn’t move when it’s nearby even though it’s obviously making him uncomfortable (if they do stick around for a bit before leaving, you’ll notice them blinking a lot, so maybe it’s like onions for us?)

Good luck with the new cat! How does Fizzle like Kirby?

Hate is not cool in any fashion. Nothing justifies hate. Hate breeds hate.

Kirby is cute, this is the important fact of the matter.

I saw a kitty at the adoption center a few weeks ago that was named Chandra. She was black and orange, and her eyes matched the orange in her fur.

Thanks, Simone. That is a nice thing to hear after this (literal) headache. I’m going to post more Kirby pics, soon. He’s actually been a total sweetheart over the past few days and no “accidents.” Fizzle is more of a typer, I think Kirby is too young for the keyboard right now.

aw, I just jumped to the comments to say how cute kitty is! can’t be bothered to read the haters. take it outside! and and i finally got my copy of veganomicon today hoorah!

as for my kitty’s diet - she’s still a carnivore. i blame what I like to call “feline hypnosis” those purring burring sedative sounds they make to control your mind! (like - “na don’t give me the old tin of cat swill - opens me a new one!” or when i presented kitty with veganpet dry cat food all i got was a look that said “what is that? kitty litter?” and right now she is trying to walk over my keyboard! it’s an ongoing dilemma…

love yr work isa. love to kirbylicious xo

“I also have chosen not to have children and I choose not to surround myself with people who have children. I cannot understand why this is such a problem for people.”

It’s not a problem for me. And I am glad that I won’t be hanging around with you. Almost none of my friends have kids. Some of my friends are clearly uncomfortable around kids. (Even my child! I KNOW!) Some of my friends would rather do things with only me and not with my kid and me together. But none of my friends are jerks.

Yes, I am judgmental against ageists*. If you dislike me for that than I am doing something right. Is this really the battle you want to fight, the battle for your right to hate people?
