Hi Shawn,

 RH> Jesse gets a couple of tablespoons of canned green beans twice a day.
 RH> I asked his owner--she said that the vet reccommended it. I guess
 RH> them most of his life; it doesn't take long for them (and his kibble)
 RH> to disappear. Our Sam ate a lot of fruits and vegetables too, but not
 RH> regular basis.

 SH> Pickle doesn't eat anything except Wiska's chicken, and chicken
 SH> temptations. Nothing else is worth eating in his mind.  His owner
 SH> tried to feed him
 SH> better food and he didn't eat for 5 days and the vet gave up and said
 SH> give him what he wants.  LOL

Sounds like the hunger strike Jenny-cat went on. We have a friend who
had a lot of cats; I think at one time about 6 of her own and fostered
another litter of 4. One of her cats was just a regular alley cat but
the cat only liked one brand of cat food--and at times, not even that.
another cat was a German forest cat--he was massive! With one hind leg
amputated at the hip, he was still close to 40 pounds and could leap 8
feet (from the floor to a ledge near ceiling level.

 SH> He doesn't have a lot of extra weight he's a very small cat, but
 full SH> of energy!

Jenny was small too, just a bit over 2 kilograms. She would
occaisionally get the "zoomies" and tear around the apartment like she
was possesed. She was basically shy otherwise.


 SH>  SH>> ... Hey!  Don't pick up that phox_¯' %«AO‡  NO CARRIER
 RH> Teen age girls and dial up modems didn't mix very well. I would do
 RH> anything that required getting on line while they were at school but
 RH> Steve would do most of his in the evening.

 SH> Makes sense as he was working during the day.

On Windows systems, which he despised. (G)


 RH>  The girls would be home,
 RH> want to talk with their friends and not always check with their dad
 RH> to see if
 RH> the line was free. OOPS! It also prevented their friends from calling
 RH> them.

 SH> Laugh.  My parents ended up getting a second phone line in the house
 SH> as they couldn't use their own phone with me on BBS's all the time.
 SH> LOL

Our friends with the cats put in a line for their teens. They had 3 of
their own, let Rachel's boyfriend live with them for about 15 months (to
finish high school in AZ), and took in other waifs as needed from time
to time.
