Who knows what goes on in the mind of a cat?

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43910) • Cambridge, England 8 Jul 16

My kitten, Mephistopheles, is clearly destined to become a scientist. It seems that his speciality may be in Fluid Mechanics because, at the moment, he is fascinated by water - particularly dripping taps and overflowing bowls. The...

Aura Gael Water is quite fascinating so I can understand his interest. Do you say that whole name when you call him or have you given him a name like Mephy or Stopholes for short? My cat likes to drink from a bucket, although he'd drink from the toilet if we let him.

What Happens When You Breakfast Without Cheerios?

Gus Kilthau @Ceerios (4698) • Goodfellow, Texas 12 Jul 16

What happens when you breakfast without Cheerios? I was wondering about that. So, today I went without my bowl of Cheerios and sliced bananas. Little did I realize the impact this would have on life as I must live it for the...

Aura Gael I don't know the answer but I'll stick with my eggs. They give me a nice even satiation and I'm not hungry again for quite a few hours. Cheerios would make me hungrier. :)

Being Calm

Sky @skysnap (20153) 12 Jul 16

Aura Gael I have trouble with focus too. I have been practicing a little Qi Gong, which is really a type of moving meditation and am getting many benefits, including improvement on focus.

Desk jobs or outdoor jobs.

tjades @tjades (3591) • Jamaica 25 May 09

I have found that I am not particularly fond of the regular desk job where I answer and make phone calls, keep records etc... I like being in a nice office from which I can escape regularly to either do presentations or attend...

Aura Gael Well my job doesn't completely reflect my personality but I do work outside and prefer that to office work. I also prefer to work by myself too and only have the occasional human interaction.

Funny Rat Story

angel_smiles @Lolaze (5093) • St. Louis, Missouri 20 May 16

Earlier tonight I was talking on the phone with my friend, sitting on my bed. Of course - as usual if I'm in my bedroom - I was being stalked by a rat. Two of my rats have this issue with stalking me. They take turns sitting...

Here she is in all her glory. Watching me...peering at me. With those beady little eyes. Watching my every move. Scary isn't she?

There's a stray cat who is

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119633) • United States 20 May 16

awfully brave. . . It looks like a small female cat who keeps coming around our backyard. Now we have 2 cats who are allowed outside and who spend time out there so this cat must be seeing them out there. Once I got both of...

Aura Gael We've had a few strays around here through the years. My roommate would feed them. We had a shelter thingy on our porch about the size of a small dog house with a blanket in it at one point for one particular stray. The cat you have in your yard might be...

What is everyone having for dinner tonight? I want to know! We went out to lunch today and I had a short rib cheesesteak and french fries. I could only eat half of it so I brought the other half of it home with me. That will be...

She turned it on AGAIN!!!! grrrrr

Claudia Kirkland @CRK109 (14556) • United States 19 May 16

I've heard, from a very reliable source, that when cats get themselves in trouble, it generally means they are bored. Well, we moved from a 7 room home with a full basement and a lovely sun room into a two room apartment. No...

What did your grandparents do?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160677) • United States 19 May 16

How did your grand parents make their living? Did they have careers? Were they city people or country people? I thought of this while looking at the cattle pictures online yesterday. Today's picture is of a Hereford cow . They...

Aura Gael My paternal grandfather was a postal worker. He was a clerk. My paternal grandmother was a secretary at some point in her adulthood but I'm not sure when. I understand she could type fast and accurately and never have to look at the keys at all. My maternal...

Reheating food in plastic containers

pranavi obulam @Sujala (43) 18 May 16

Before drinking milk, I am used to reheating milk in a microwave safe plastic glass. Once in a discussion with my friend, she said that using plastic containers in microwave causes cancer even though it is microwave safe. She said...

Aura Gael When you heat plastic the chemicals from the plastic are leeched into whatever you have in the container. So heating the milk up in a plastic cup in a microwave will cause the chemicals from the plastic cup to leech into the milk. And you will drink the...

Wendy789 @Drosophila (16571) • Ireland 19 May 16

I wanted to have some cauliflower cheese with the roast chicken I cooked. I went to the super market and was shocked they had none! I mean its cauliflower! Not exactly Romanesco! So, I went down to the farmers market... To my...

Aura Gael A dollar is a great price. I'm seeing it around here (East coast US) for 4 bucks a head pretty much in every store. And they've been looking pretty healthy. I'm not a fan of it raw but it's ok steamed with lots of butter and some salt.

Stupid cyst may have ruptured.

Jen @polyxena (2628) • Sturgis, Michigan 19 May 16

Long sore day, I'm thinking that my cyst on my ovary ruptured. The last day, I've felt more sore than usual and talking to my doctor she said with the size the cyst is, I shouldn't be in as much pain as I'm in right now, along...

Aura Gael That's awful about the pain. I hope your doctor calls you back. I don't think they should leave you hanging for something like this. Have you thought about going to the ER if it gets worse or even if it keeps hurting? I had an ovarian cyst removed a long time...
