It's a common noise for cats to make when they're "tracking" - usually birds.

She may be able to give perky a shot, but there is no way in hell she'd be a able to act out Dolly's natural warmth.

Cat vaccines! My cat just got his first annual flu shot and also got an FIV shot, which he needs two more boosters of over the next four weeks. He's pulled up with some side effects ever since getting the shot almost a day ago - loss of appetite, slight depression, a vomit - apparently common side effects, according…

I loved that show as a teen! Which is why I always liked the name Kale, even before I'd ever eaten the stuff.

Maybe he lives in Canada? Or maybe it means US federal police have no jurisdiction on Indian land? I'm confused too.

wow, that's awesome. Was it difficult to ship her over with you? I've no current plans to move overseas but my cat is still young and it may happen one day and I've been wondering about the logistics (I would be moving from Australia too)

If Neko Case put out a video game, the goal would be to rescue as many greyhounds as possible.

That sounds pretty awkward, but wouldn't it be simple for your fiancé to give her a quick ring and say "dskjhdkjsgd's name was left off the invite. I just want to confirm that she is invited as well". Better to know for sure whether or not it was intentional before you start stressing!

Any who talks about "telephone" that is not a child? I've been living in Australia for over 10 years and I'm still learning things that are said differently than in the US. If you're trying to prove someone is racist, you should find a better example.

Not my point.

In Australia it's called Chinese whispers, as stupid as that may be. Australians, for the most part, have no idea that it's called telephone in the US.

Guess it's better than showing up to work everyday hungover and stinking of booze and tears?

wtf. I was just in Tokyo and I love the Moomins. How did I not know about this/why did no one tell me?!?!

My cat was found as a kitten in the wheel well of a car, and lost a leg because of it. This kid is fucking lucky!

My mother has two Manx cats - one has a stump and the other, with no tail, balances using her swinging tubby tummy

and I've had "friends" telling me I'm going to "hell" because I don't believe in god. Not to mention all the street-corner preachers and door-knockers I have to contend with. Those people are also rude - rudeness is a very human quality.

Last time I read the ingredients list on a bag of breadcrumbs, I noted with surprise the ingredients fish and gelatine. People with special dietary requirements can never be too careful - I'm glad he wasn't afraid to ask the question he wanted to ask, knowing that it may be laughed at.

Haha, well I couldn't even find anyone willing to fork over for a ticket, so I was on my own. I just hope you won't wait at the stage door after the Wham reunion tour, or whatever your rat friend is into! ;)

Seitan and tempeh are a bit different than traditional mock meats - but are also high in protein. If you have any kind of health food shop where you live, they should stock tempeh and seitan. Tofu is very versatile - there are just SO many ways to cook it. Beans are, of course, also very versatile and so cheap and…

Beans! Even just giving your sandwich a good spread of hummous means you're getting some extra protein in. Also, do you like tofu or mock meats? I'm not a huge mock meat person, but some of it can be really healthy and tasty. Also, some veggies like asparagus and cauliflower are quite high in protein. I'm vegan and…
