Sia, my sister hooked me onto Buffy! I LOVE Buffy the Vampire Slayer! I own all 6 seasons of Buffy and all 3 seasons of Angel and watch them repeatedly. In fact, I am getting ready to start Buffy: Season 1 all over again! Great name for your new kitten!

Hermione, I've even turned my kids into Buffy-fans! We watch the DVDs together whenever we're over at the cottage we bought this summer because we can't get normal TV reception there and don't have a VCR. The only thing we have to hook to the TV there is the DVD player, so we are Buffy nuts, even though we do own other shows. Oh, I guess we watch the Beverly Hillbillies now and then. And Red Skelton. Anything to make us laugh! Okay, back to kitty discussions. . . .

Our cat Spot (we didn't name her) was an almost pure white calico. She had only a few orange & black markings and was just the prettiest kitty ever, imho. My mom has one of her daughters, a striking black-and-white named Calamity. My mom also adopted a longhaired tortiseshell I found. I think both calicos and torties are just beautiful. According to a magazine article I once read, the males are usually sterile though. Nancy: Still thinking of you and Roo. Poor kitty - hope you find out her condition is treatable and she's feeling better soon. Sia and Hermione: I'm a devoted Buffy and Angel fan and but don't have any of the DVD sets. *Sniff!*

My daughter and I are Buffy fans and we don't have of the sets either. Maybe that would be a good Christmas present? hmmmm....We actually named the stray that comes around our house Spike but she's not too much of a Spike so we changed her name to Scraggletag after a Jim Henson Storyteller story that my daughter loved when she was little.

They're gorgeous, Gina8642! Oh Mamie, I'd love to get the Buffy/Angel DVD sets for Christmas. They're so expensive and I can't justify splurging on them now. I do have the Jim Henson's Storyteller DVD though. And a while ago I bought ER's season one set on closeout just because I had watched my scratchy videotaped copy of the blizzard epi and got all nostalgic. I'm saving it to watch when winter comes because there's so few tv shows left on the air that I care about.

I want a kitty cat!! I haven't had a pet since I was little though... Just wondering what it would cost me to own one. Can anyone tell me roughly how much it would cost to get it spayed/neutered and declawed?

Carrie, if you go thru a rescue group, you can generally expect to pay about $150 for the kitty, spay and declaw. If you get a cat and then spay/declaw thru your own vet, it'll be more. (Actually I just called my vet. A 2 paw declaw is $206. and spay starts at 191.00) The spay can go up depending on age of cat and if it went thru a heat cycle. (Vet said spaying before a cycle is easier on pet and on vet-surgery is easier) Neutering a male cat is cheaper than a spay.

Carrie, are you near Grand Rapids? The following is just one example of a TON of kitties that can be found on petfinder.org NEWMAN Cat Domestic Short Hair - orange and white Size: Small Age: Baby Sex: Male Notes: Boisterous Butch, Small-fry Sundance, Rambunctious Redford and Nice-boy Newman were taken in by our kitten-rearing foster mom Stephanie when a friend found them and found them to be a bit too much to handle at about 4 weeks of age! Well our gal nursed them back to health and is well on her way to making these great little guys grow into happy, healthy young men! We guesstimate them to have been born in late May. They couldn't be cuter and we couldn't be happier to have them with us!! IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING THIS CAT, PLEASE GO BACK TO OUR HOMEPAGE AND FILL OUT OUR ONLINE APPLICATION. VISITS WILL BE SET UP ONCE THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED AND REFERENCES CHECKED. Thanks for taking time to find out more about our Crash Cats!! This pet is: up to date with routine shots, already house trained, altered and declawed This pet is eligible for a gift of the first two months of ShelterCare pet insurance paid for by Petfinder.com [Click] CRASH's LANDING Cat Rescue & Placement Center Grand Rapids, MI 616-821-6065

Sia--that picture of Buffy sleeping is absolutely precious! What an adorable little puff ball. My Sugar looked just like that when she was a baby--even had the smudge on top of her head. That eventually went away, though. I didn't want it to, but what could I do about it? I'll try to post some pics of her when she was a baby. Carrie, if you go to your local animal shelter, sometimes they will charge you a $50 adoption fee, but with that you get their tags, and a $25 coupon for spay/neutering. So, it only cost me about $40 each to get mine fixed. Don't know if all shelters offer this, but mine does.

still nothing definitive on ROO--she is moving around albeit a little slow--and not as strong on the left hind leg--the neuro is on vacation this week dang-it, but at least she is eating now and appears pain-free--she tries to get up on my lap but can't make it up..poor baby

Update on Doyle - he's doing much better, and his "stress" has calmed down. He REALLY doesn't like taking the Chondritin pill, and usually bites it in half and spits both out, but we manage to get it down. Apparently there are quite a few Buffy/Angel cat lovers here! I thought I was weird with Willow & Doyle, but apparently not! I have yet to get the DVD collections but I do have the Star Crossed lovers box Video set which I watched not too long ago. Season 1 just came out on sale last week so I have a feeling next payday I'll be heading over to HMV to pick me up a copy!

Deej, you are so not weird to name your cats that. My sister and her husband-- I love 'em, but they are weird... they are considering Buffy names for the new baby who is due in April! Top runners are "Allison" (Willow's real name is Alyson) and "Tara" or "Taryn" for Willow's friend. ROFL!

I saw the rescue people feeding the kitties at the beach. First time I ever saw that. I wanted to take all the kitties home.

At least they're not picking Willow... it's cute, but not for a real person! I know quite a few Tara's so that doesn't weird me out, but knowing that they're doing so just because of Buffy... now that's a little weird!

Carrie, I hope when you get your new furbaby, you don't have it declawed. I think that is sooo cruel.

I got this this morning in an email and thought I'd share it: Cat Owner's Prayer Because I'm only human, It's sometimes hard to be The wise, all-knowing creature That my cat expects of me. And so I pray for special help To somehow understand The subtle implications Of each proud meowed command. Oh, let me not forget that chairs Were put on earth to shred; And what I like to call a lap Is actually a bed. I know it's really lots to ask But please, oh please, take pity; And though I'm only human, Make me worthy of my kitty! - Author Unknown
