bells_on_cats misstree just a quick tidbit, if you have a cat, please, please, PLEASE do *not* put a bell on their collar... it ruins their hearing something terrible. if you've ever worn jingles (like christmas bells or belly dancing jingles or chains or zippers or anything) you know that it gets to you after a while. well, imagine you're a cat, and you've got these great radar dishes for ears and stealth is your middle name (actually it's grimbletiger, but you don't tell people that), but for some reason everywhere you go this *noise* just follows you, makes it so you can't sneak and you can't hear anything and it distracts you every time you take a step... i'm serious. it destroys kitty hearing and it's not cute. so unless you have a dead bird collection, please don't bell your cat. 030908 ...
