hehe I can imagine :)  One time I did have to pick up LuLu, the largest of the
four we have (she was the size of of say an adult cat when she was just 6
months old, meanwhile, the other 3 kittens in the litter were very small.. so I
can guess who was the feeding hog amongst the litter haha).  Anyway, this was
to get her across the room to the vet who was going to give her a vaccine.  The
feisty girl went nuts on me with claws and teeth, bolted and the vet and I
decided we'd wait til "next time" <g>

Yes, kittens when we got them.. very wild kittens.  The first month, I kept
them in a separate room, where no dogs could get in, nor could any people
except me.  While I initially had the whole doorway blocked, as time went by I
allowed the dogs to look in, and the kittens to see the dogs without personal
contact.. It was a slow process of integration haha.. but after a while, the
kittens ventured out on their own.  And now of course, they rule the place :)

Mom had a yorky.. neat breed. :)

haha yes, I think everyone here knows Ron is the Alpha male here as well.

Sometimes if I get paper bags from shopping instead of plastic (rare it seems)
I'll leave one or more about since the cats like to hide in them...  The dogs
then come upon them because they'll see a stray paw darting out at random..
funny to watch :) :)

Take care,
Janis
