What are some lessons that you have learned?

I have learned to never go anywhere without a full tank of gas. Where I live, I can get stuck on the freeway for hours so I better have a full tank of gas. I may have to get re-routed to an area that I'm not familiar with. It's no fun running out of gas in an unfamiliar neighborhood.

Well, speaking of cars, getting regular oil changes is one of the simplest, most reasonable ways to ensure your car will drive for many more miles.

I have learned that just when things look darkest, they can completely change with a good outcome. Never give up hope.

Cats get bored easily I think. Do they need more kitty toys? lol

My cat likes everything EXCEPT her toys. Except for the feathers on a stick. She does like that. Smile

Max likes toys ,usually to hold in his mouth when he greets us upon returning. He is not a pet that plays with toys a lot anymore. He always had trouble catching a ball. One day I threw him a piece of popcorn (when he could still see) and he caught it. He was sooooo proud of himself. You could just see it. I kept throwing him pieces of popcorn and he got way past 50 without a miss.

Cats are smart and so adorable! =^. .^= My cat likes to play candy wrappers esp. an empty hot chocolate packet, no fancy toys.

There is a famous cat on YouTube, and his name is Maru or something like that? I will have to find you the video. This cat is almost human, so funny and entertains himself for hours: loves boxes! lol! I had to learn all about cats again when my first grandfurbaby came to live with me, and she has now been here over a year. True how she likes almost anything more than her toys!

My cat used to love to play inside a paper bag. She loved the noise. It was so funny to see her "attack" inside the bag.

I will have to see if I can find the photo of my mom's cat. She loves boxes too.

Her name is Lily. My mom was coming home one day, just getting out of her car. She heard this little meow. She saw this little, tiny, cat coming to her. She doesn't think she was even six weeks old at that time. We have no idea where she came from. There is a big corn field very close so she may have been born there.

She is an indoor/outdoor cat. I hate that but that is her personality. She likes to be out more than she likes to be in, even in really bad weather. She has many boyfriends. My mom has a shed out back that she slips into if the weather gets too bad for her to be out in the open, but still doesn't want to come in.
