Sometimes it works to keep them distracted, sometimes not...but we gotta try, right?!
I had leather furniture and at one point 3 cats...not a single one of them bothered with it but my fugly fabric recliner? SHREDDED. They seemed to take personal pleasure in getting their claws stuck in it and making it rock when they tried to unstick themselves. Tools. I miss that ugly chair too!

Your kitty has spunk. Likes hot sauce, likes squirt gun.
He really actually sounds fun, in spite of all the trouble he makes. Seems like perhaps it would be worth it to go to the dollar store or dollar general and perhaps get him his own tree?
I'm glad someone else likes
Keanu besides me. Nobody I know understands why I find him so attractive. Don't know, something about him.
My 15 yo son likes to
grab the car keys and start the car if we are headed somewhere while I'm still putting on my shoes/coat or whatever. Then when I'm walking around the front of the car to get in, he hits the horn, and of course I jump a mile becaue I'm usually deep in thought. He thinks it's hysterical. He's taken ten years off my life!
My son likes...
Pac Sun (sp?), we have one here in our local mall. We live in the midwest. Every time we go shopping, it seems to be the only place he wants to go. I also shop Kohl's, too, usually some really great sales.
There's another cat, but she LIKES it. Plus she
.
Try taking away something she likes!
I know it sounds harsh, but if you take away something she likes and not give her that until she finally is a "big girl", then she may want to go potty. The other thing, I know how gross this is, but include her in your "potty time", and she may realize "Wow, Mom is a big girl, and I want to be like Mom! It is a tough call, but my daughter went through the same thing. I always got the "I'm too busy!" So, I began asking her all of the time, and finally she went because she didn't want me to ask her especially in front of her brother. She was about 4 1/2! Good luck!
My 14 year old likes ...
The "Eragon" series by Christopher Paolini and the "Alex Rider" series by Anthony Horowitz. He picks one up and doesn't want to put them down until they are finished.
Why would anyone think the south only likes
country?? Ugh. I have lived here all my life and I cannot stand it. My tastes are more opera, beautiful love sounds, Gershwin. I could not tell you 1 name of a country song. Please do not group us all together. Folks just making assumptions - again.
Heehee- my cat likes to
eat one piece of cat food at a time. She will fish one piece out of the bowl with her paw onto the floor and then eat it, and then fish out another piece. Its quite facinating.
And it comes down to a lot more than what a person likes and does not s/m
like. We are talking being subjected to breathing those toxins which create a life-threatening environment. I hope I live long enough to not have to say NONSMOKING in a restaurant. It is unthinkable that we are subjected to this in 2007. I feel for you, I really do. 
Whether or not she likes him is a different story
I know sometimes more being more physical can mean that, but put it this way:
If a wife did that to her husband with a knife, would it be because she likes him?
No, but my psychiatrist likes that one. (sm)
Prozac wasn't good for me, and Wellbutrin sounded better to me. But my depression turned out to be more situational, so changing my situation seems to be the cure.
but that is her opinion too - obviously she likes them - nm
x
Since he likes people food and will eat that--sm
as opposed to some of the commercial cat foods out there, which in my opinion, are not all that beneficial either what with all the by products, etc. continue to give him the chicken and turkey. I would suggest the chicken raised without hormones and antibiotics though. He is a very smart kitty, preferring natural food (poultry) to that of what is forced upon us by the cat food producers, which have more grain than they do nourishing food. But that is just my opinion. good luck to you with your vacation for 3 weeks. Is the kitty going with you???
maybe husband just likes 'em
however, not my cuppa tea....
Our cat likes to lick anything with feathers and - sm
plastic bags (like the supermarket kind), guess is it some weird maternal instinct thing. Our lab will eat flowers on command, kids taught her to eat the dandilions in the yard, too weird.
My dog likes wierd stuff too, but...
My dal loves bananas and her favorite treat is icecubes. She always comes running when you open the freezer door. You do have to be careful, because there are a lot of things that are toxic to dogs. I saw a list on line and I was really surprised by some of the stuff on there. I wish I had copied it or bookmarked it. If anyone has it, it would be helpful for dog owners if they could post it here. Some of the stuff on there were things I would not have a problem letting my dog eat.
Maybe that's his story. GF likes to roll around in

How your likes changed much over the years?
It depends on what age range, 15-20, 21-25, 26-30 etc... like every five years, in regards to anything.
I wouldn't worry - I think he just likes the scent. (sm)
At least you know that when you've taken the same bubble bath or used the same soap, that he like how you smell!
;)
I'm a "healthy gal" as a friend of mine likes to say
Just a bit over 200 pounds now, which I never thought would happen to me. I was always able to hover around 150 until I hit my mid 30s and then I just packed it on like a bear going into hybernation. I started WW in April and lost most of those 11 pounds right away. Then vacation came along and I just got out of the habit. I KNOW the program works. My grandmother did it in the 1970s and was lifetime member until the day she died. You just have to make up your mind it's time to get serious. I'm convinced no diet or lifestyle change will stick unless you're ready to commit 100%. I'm back on track again and hope to be in Onderland (below 200, as it is called on the WW chat boards) very quickly.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Like I said, it isn't easy.
my hubby always likes Best Buy gift cards,
that way he can get what music he wants, or concert DVDs, or whatever they have there (that's what everyone got him for Christmas and he was in "hog heaven").
That's a good one! EvaEv likes to correct
her own right!. Man, I would feel like a complete a** right about now!
Well, it kinda means she likes girls.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Hah! Someone had to make that joke, darn it. :-)
You know, when you have anything achieved, someone just likes to try and bust your bubble here
I went on originally saying about what my home owner's association does not accept, including clothes lines, animals roaming loose, vegetable gardens, etc. and I said I love it here. Immediately what returned was a statement about people looking down their nose at you implying that is what I do. Someone else making statement about rural living-my present home is very much that with woods close by and deer roam through my yard sometimes. I, like loads of other transcriptionists, work as loners and tend to be that way. I am no different and love my privacy here and that is what is afforded me. One of the homes I sold was in a big city and the other was lake front which was an inheritance. People seem to like to run down what others are able to achieve. I worked hard, very hard for most that I have had and it has taken years for me to be able to get to a point where I basically do not have to worry about every cent that I spend. I have always been free with my money trying to help out others and it has come back tenfold to me. I now rescue animals because of my love for them. I never was one to be jealous of others but apparently lots I run into on this forum don’t feel the same. Hope you can enjoy the rest of your coffee.
Likes to show off in front of the boys.

My mom, a southern born girl, likes her crumbled

he did say you can move and maybe he'll find a woman who likes his life.

I am so sorry for you and your kitty....

Glad to hear your cat is doing better! Something that may be helpful - I had a cat who made it to 17 yearsw of age. Three years before he passed, he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. It was difficult to get him to take the medication by mouth, so my vet suggested getting the med made up at a compounding pharmacy. The med was in the form of a paste that went behind his ear, and that ensured he got the med and we didn't have to hassel every day.

My cat died about 2 months ago. She stopped eating, drank a little bit, just stayed in the closet flat out. I couldn't afford to take her to the vet ($75.00 to euthanize) and I could tell that she wasn't in pain. She purred and let me pat her once in a while, but for the most part she stayed in the closet. She finally crawled to the back of the closet and died, I hope peacefully. I miss her. I want another cat (have had them all my life) but will not get one unless/until I have the money to properly take care of her when necessary. Last July she had several rotten teeth. The vet removed all but 5 of her teeth ($600.00) which I am still paying out. She was about 14-15, so up in years. I feel for you. My gut feeling, though, is to euthanize her before it's a weekend and you can't do anything and she's in pain. You're only prolonging the inevitable, IMO. Take care.
My kitty
Thank you to everyone who helped me through these last couple of weeks with my beautiful cat with bone cancer. We finally put her to sleep yesterday and it was very difficult for us but for her it was very quick and nontraumatic. The hardest part for her was the ride down to the vet's because she hates/hated that part. We then took her to the cremation place and should have her ashes back within a week. I didn't write until now because my heart is still very sad. I still haven't picked up her "things" around the house but will probably try to do that tonight or I may only be able to do a couple of things at a time, but that's okay.
I wrote about our milk prices here and it got me thinking how we probably won't have to buy as much milk now or the whole roasted chickens at Costco we used to buy for her. She would share some with us but it was really Mochi's chicken. She would come running in from outside whenever we cooked chicken too. Plus she would do what we called "praying to the refrigerator God" for something good to eat, she would sit in front of the refrigerator doors and just stare at it or sometimes rub up against it until we opened it up and found something in there for her.
We hadn't been able to let her outside for a month or so so that she could warm herself in the sun, so I think she is very happily sunning herself right now, in no pain.
So sorry about your kitty...
Sounds like you did all you could and provided a wonderful home.
My new kitty-cat's name is - sm
CHARLOTTE! :)
The weekend passed with less hissing & more acceptance by my other cat. I found that feeding them at the same time (one eats on the floor, the other up on the kitchen table) seems to make them relax around each other. Charlotte sleeps in bed with me with her head on my arm, and occasionally communicates with either a little 'silent meow' or else her signature 'quacking' sound. If I say 'quack-quack' to her, she says it back. ;)
Kitty
We have a laser pointer that we play with them with. They go crazy over it.
Also, I have a Roomba vacuum....oh my Lord...worth the money just for the comic relief they provide.
My kitty
I'm so sorry about your baby My cat was 16 years old and I believe she had a stroke. She has been pretty sick getting very skinny and one night she had her head tilted to the side and she couldn't move it. I don't know for sure but I think she suffered a stroke. Unfortuately, I didn't have any say in the matter. She passed away that night in March. It's still so hard for me to talk about. I miss her every day. I'll send prayers to you and your cat that she doesn't suffer and you'll know when it's time I'm sure.
kitty
If you feel that strongly you should go get him. You could take him to a shelter or just keep him. I'm sure you probably could find a home for him yourself if you needed to.
My kitty... see pic hopefully
This is Jory Jack Anthony SkippyJon Jones. :)
kitty uti
Hi - I totally understand your problem. My kitty has had severel UTIs and the doc put her on amoxicillin. It did work for her, but he also prescribed Urinary-SO, which is a special diet to keep the kidneys in good health. It's kind of pricey, but worth it so far. You can't buy it over the counter and have to buy it from your veterinarian. Hope this helps. As all us girls know, UTIs are VERY painful.
kitty ?
Always happy to see a cat lover....the ruler of my house, my 8yo female, occasionally does this. Don't know why. She has always used the litter box since day #1. My little boy is 4y/o and he will do the same thing, may be a copy cat, Boo, Hiss...anyway,I've never figured out why they do this. No pattern, not mad, no fights. Just happens occasionally. If you figure out why, other than just being cats and knowing they can do it, pls let me know.
Kitty and the Computer
 My kitty likes to lay at my feet on my pedals. The long hair gets inside and causes them not to work properly. I am on my third pedal in 2+ years. You have to love being able to work from the comfort of your home though . . . with your cat by your side. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Just wish I could fall into a better work-at-home job.
Our little kitty just had to be euthanized....
because of liver and kidney failure. Please make sure if you have pets that you check regarding the recent recall of pet food. I had a couple of cans of Iams for him to try and I think that may have been what happened to him, will never know for sure. He was so sweet, a little orange and white guy, could always make me laugh chasing the laser pointer and flashlight, loved to chase the crawl on the bottom of the news programs on TV. Have to finish my day typing through tears....
I hope your kitty comes out better than ever!
My husband and I spend the moolah that we don't even have on our animals, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
Saw the kitty tonight!
We went to see the cat tonight. She is doing as well as can be expected. Very happy to see us. Apparently, she does not like the tech who is watching her (stranger to her) but started to purr as soon as I scratched behind her ears. Plus I brought her bed. I just hope we brought some comfort to her. It was very hard to leave though. Once again, you all are a great group and your kind words are much appreciated!
My male kitty
when he first came to live with us he was a mere 6 weeks old, and he would drink from the water bowl while "standing" on the edge of the bowl (front paws only) which looked silly but cute too! Then, he rapidly grew and grew and began to tip the water bowl over when doing that, so thankfully he stopped, but now I notice him sliding his paws (slowly) in a digging motion before drinking and can't help but notice how noisey he is when he drinks, he sounds like a dog lapping or a bird taking a bath! Boys!
Congratulations on your new kitty!
She sounds sweet! I swear by a liquid called Ration Plus. I first got it for my equines who had weight problems and gas. It's a prebiotic that works in their hindgut to regulate things...makes food stick to the ribs and helps with things like diarrhea and gas. I also give it to my dogs now and again and even my old senior cat. I put it right on their food and they gobble it right up.
HOWEVER, it does not state anywhere on their website or the label that it is appropriate for cats. I just wrote to them actually, just now, to find out if it was safe for felines. I know I've been feeding it to my cat now for over a year, one or two times a week as a top dressing on his food, and haven't had any problems and he looks great. I will let you know what they say about it.
Fantastic results and a bottle lasts a long, long time. 
Here's their company website: http://www.rationplus.com/dog.html
but I buy it from pet places because it's usually cheaper that way.
Your kitty is adorable!
I love hearing about everyone's cats and seeing their pics. I have a fully black 11 year old cat named Roscoe who is not too bright, shall we say. LOL. He chases his tail like a dog, and he's the biggest scardey cat around. I had a 16 year old cat that passed away in April and I miss her every day.
Here's the kitty I just adopted!
She's an 8 year old Exotic Shorthair Persian named Charlotte. Her little tongue sticks out all the time, 'cuz her face is so flat & her mouth is so small. She's tiny - and only weighs about 5-1/4 lbs. right now. Needs to gain a pound or two.) She's a total cuddle-bug!
(She just came out to say hi to me - she was annoyed with me earlier because I had to give her a pill. Not easy with that tiny little mouth!) Whenever I'm on the computer, she sits on the back of my chair and "helps".
my sister's kitty
had a stroke, he was a siamese and was 19 years old.. He unfortunately was not suffering; however, could not walk and had other multiple problems, thus she decided to mercifully put him to sleep. It was painful, but comes a time that you just know it is right... hope your kitty gets better....
What a talented kitty. Very

Hmm, I wonder if the talented kitty above
