I'm sure theres reason to the insanity, like running around the table in circles just for the hellva it. But sometimes they are so random that I'm scared to even question their motives. And in folklore didn't it say that theres a world of faeries in a cat's eye?

Of course the main reason cats vomit is hairballs. Hairballs can sometimes cause cats to become very ill. Can obstruct digestive system. This is why cats need grass to help get rid of hairballs. The grass gags them. If your cat is indoors all the time with no grass please buy hairball treatment and follow instructions. you can also grow your own grass indoors. Don't let him/her suffer......

Was at zoo and watched them give the tigers long blades of grass. It wasn't long until they

To fight like Kilkenny Cats:

To fight until both sides have lost all; to fight with the utmost determination and pertinacity.

The story is that during the Irish Rebellion of 1798, Kilkenny was garrisoned by a troop of Hessian soldiers, who amused themselves by tying two cats together by their tails and throwing them across a clothes line to fight.

After I had finished dressing for the nights activities and festivities, I walked into the bedroom where the cat was sleeping.

When she saw me, she looked up, ears pert, eyes wide and let out a long meooooooooooooow. She seemed particularily interested in the fact that her owner, now possessed ears, tail, whiskers and looked like she did.

Strange........they compel me to think that they can read our minds and thoughts, think with emotions and wonder what crazy things that we humans do.





ps: I was dressed in a cat costume.

The saying " To grin like a Cheshire Cat " :

An old smile popularized by Lewis Carroll: " please would you tell me, " said Alice a little timidly, " why your cat grins like that? " " it's a Cheshire cat, " said the Duchess, " and that's why. " - Alice in Wonderland ( 1865 ).

The phrase has never been satisfactorily explained, but it has been said that Cheshire cheese was once sold moulded like a cat that appeared to be grinning. The waggish explanation is that the cats know that Cheshire is a County Palatine and find the idea a source of perpetual amusement.

There are many that I enjoy using. Some better than others.


Best advice I can ever give is consult a vet or professional if a problem remains persistant.



Thanks for posting.

Toast always lands butter side down when you drop it,
and a cat always lands on it's feet when you drop it.

So what would happen if you strapped a piece of toast
butter side up to a cats back? rolling on the floor laughing
