As usual, late ...
Fudgey!! 4 years on ECF!!!
Wow, 4 years ... but I couldn't help but wonder what you did before ECF ... maybe I shouldn't have looked!
Seems that issue was real popular, it doesn't seem to be available for purchase anywhere ... not that I tried of course!
Morning all!
Already 51 here looking at 57. Below freezing come tomorrow morning.
What a morning, woke to no internet. Since I don't have cable, internet is everything to me, TV, Radio, etc, everything but phone. So I turned on my phone's hotspot for some pretty slow internet access, and got into online chat with a Verizon tech.
After about an hour of "reboot this, reboot that, open the optical network terminal, disconnect this wire, reconnect everything, reboot everything again, etc etc" finally got everything back to normal. Damn optical network box and wifi router couldn't be any further away and still be in my apt. My back was hurting with all the running back & forth.
Of course now that I've got a new IP address, my bank, credit card, and some gaming sites will put me through the security wringer. a lot of them "register" your computer based on IP address. Then when you go to login only username and password is required. But if your IP address changes they automatically assume you're logging in from somewhere else and ask you a bunch of security questions.

LOL that's not Rocky (but it does look like him). Rocky's much bigger.
Besides, I'd kill him if I caught him doing that.
He did chew one speaker wire since he's been here, but now seems to be over it, or trained not to since I yelled at him whenever caught doing similar. Never got any computer stuff thankfully. I think it was only an issue while teething.

Finally made an appointment to take him to the vet. Money's getting tight so it's now or never to get him fixed. Haven't had any issues at all as far as that goes, but everyone tells me I should have it done anyway. Even the vet says "it's healthier", I don't get it. I've always been an "if it aint broke don't fix it" kind of guy. So removing healthy body parts doesn't seem all that healthy to me.
The real reason I made the appointment was to get the hernia type issue I mentioned before looked at. This way if needed I can save some money by having both surgeries (if needed) done at the same time. It too has not really been an issue and doesn't seem to affect his running around and jumping / playing etc. But it does seem to be getting more noticeable.
He's always laid funny. When on his belly his back legs will either be spread to the sides or his back feet will be kind of stretched out behind him. Or some combination of both. Thinking it's to keep pressure off of the hernia or whatever it is.
He is really a great cat. I don't think a single day goes by where he doesn't make me laugh out loud at least once. He's such a character, and very affectionate at times. Pretty well behaved most of the time too. He'll jump up and watch me prepare his food, but won't try to touch it until I put it down for him. In fact, I think the only time he misbehaves is when he feels he's not getting enough attention.
He's absolutely addicted to the laser pointer. We've got a routine. He doesn't even think about it any other time of day, but at night when I sit on the bed to watch TV it's time. I of course act all nonchalant, but he knows right where the laser's kept and will start meowing and pawing at the night stand. If I ignore his needs too long he'll walk to different parts of the bedroom and sit and meow for a bit, then move and meow some more.
Once I pick it up, he'll run over and put his paw on my hand waiting for the light to come on. Then the chase is on, he runs around like a nut, even trying to climb the walls to get the red dot. Sometimes I'll get him running around in a tight circle, barely bigger than his own body. He'll spin and spin very fast til he finally gets too dizzy. Then the best part, he'll stop chasing but either his head or .... will still move around a little from being dizzy. He'll try to take a couple steps but they're very wobbly.
Cracks me up every time!

I believe male cats who don't get fixed have a much higher incidence of urinary tract infections. Also, possibly, testicular cancer. Besides, when he gets old enough to start spraying, you'll really regret it if you haven't gotten him fixed.
Spraying was / is my biggest concern. But I thought for sure he'd have started by now if he was going to. He's so big! And he's getting close to being a year old now.
But yeah the vet says it can take up to a year, and my sister says they can start any time really. Even years down the road.
