Male cats tend to do that for some odd reason, whether they're fixed or not. All male cats I've had or known of do that crap. Which is why I got a female cat this last time... and she doesn't do that.

My female pees when she is very angry - including 3 times on me over the 7 years I've had her. She is one intense kitty. I apparently really ticked her off one night, then was lying back on my bed reading a book. I felt her come over, then something felt weird. I looked down and she stared right into my eyes while she peed on my feet.

There was/is nothing wrong with her physically (I was working as a vet tech at the time) and she has 3 litter boxes, all kept very clean. She has zero stress in her life - no kids; the dogs ignore her; I live in a rural area; but she doesn't like change, such as moving the furniture around. The issue resolved when I allowed her to be an indoor/outdoor cat, but she has me well trained. If she wants to go outside, she starts scratching on something, like she's going to pee and I come flying across the room. She hasn't peed on anything for about 5 years, but I'm still paranoid.

Unlike alot of the Pixar or Dreamworks flicks...which are entertaining even if you're an adult watching by yourself, Frozen was a 'throwback' Disney princess movie along the lines of snow white, sleeping beauty etc., with an admittedly more modern twist, particularly around the theme of 'true love'.

Lots of singing and dancing, and some typical cute & goofy side characters thrown in. I probably wouldn't have found it as good as a single adult though, part of the magic is how enamored the kid is with it. I'm now wearing earplugs in the house now because she keeps signing that 'Let it Go' song all the time...and she's as tone-deaf as her mother!!! :facepalm:

I find stories like this unsettling.

Families in a frenzy over Disney's 'Frozen'

I'd probably be baggin' on it myself if I hadn't done the same thing when I was a kid. I made my parents take me to see Star Wars thirteen times in the theater (over almost a 2 year period...it was in theaters that long!!!) Everytime I got a good report card or did a bunch or work around the house, they'd drag my sorry ... to see it...at the Drive-In too! W00t :D

Karma for what I put my parents through yet again! ;)

When I think of "Classic" Disney, I think of Lady and the Tramp, Bambi and Fantasia.

Generational gap perhaps? :D

I think of "The Fox & the Hound", "101 Dalmatians", "The Aristocats", "Escape to Witch Mountain", "The Love Bug", etc. Although I did see all the ones you mentioned when I was a kid too Ocey. They weren't new releases though :oops: [cough] [cough]:evil:

I'm pretty positive Disney and Pixar is putting subliminal messages in their movies to make kids go ape s&*t.

I want a kid.............I think I would have to adopt but I would want a 17 year old girl so I could have someone to do my chores around the house and skip all the crap years..........get rid of her a year later and maybe adopt another.

D, that's the greatest misconception in history. When they reach an age of capability, they simultaneously reach an age of rebellion and apathy. While they're more than capable of actually doing a good job, it nearly requires bodily harm to actually get it to happen.

The level of effort required on the adults part to coerce the adolescent to actually work, makes the actual task almost seem appealing :D

I can see your point for American kids..........that's why I was thinking maybe a South American kid or I could get a Russian Mail Order bride........but adopt instead. I hear separation is cheaper that way.

Very interesting concept. I wonder if I can trade in one of mine for a nice underprivileged Columbian kid...(just kidding of course!)

Really........that was the one I disliked the most but Mystery Men, Something about Mary?

Didn't see the first one. No to "Something about Mary"... I mean. It wasn't horrible but definitely nothing special. Just like Along came Polly/Molly... whatever. It was ok... It just seems like all the parts he plays are the same.

Why don't you just get a maid? I think they're cheaper and you get to send them home.
