"How do cats do that?"

I just gave my cat loads of my cheese sandwich - purely because it looked at me like it hadn't been fed for a year. How do they do it!!??!?!?!

You know, if I was a detective trying to figure out what had happened to the cat, I'd really question your story...

Well, perhaps you can get away with this one. I'd expect animals would rather endure pain to escape, than show they were limping. They ran away, that's what I'm at here. But that's not a problem.

Fair enough.

But here's where I get confused a bit. You go upstairs and find her limping, but you then go on to describe about cat's 'hanging' from radiators, and I guess that's not with her claws.

So how do you know what happened, if you just found her limping?

> Not good. :(

No... it's probably all quite innocent, but I'm in detective mood. :0D Hope your kitten recovers well though.

My ps has to go on its side as well, but it wasnt in a cat fight. Hey ant if the operation is going to cost that much, have you considered having it put down?

Animals have boring lives the do nowt, they dont even talk to each other, just make noises.

Cats flying... takes me back to mohsye.com and the game catapult. Funny game that is!

My cat does that, tries to claw the furniture but gets stuck! Then the puppy comes in, goes mad and starts to lick the cat but gets very exited and ends up biting her. She then runs and we don't see her again for ages.

Its good fun beating the dog then, telling her to keave the cat alone! Also, have you ever noticed how far cats fly when you kick them?
