    URGH!!! I can’t stand that the viewers don’t want repeats!!! Well I can see why they’re angry cuz they stuck the repeats in when they were supposed to have “new” episodes. PEOPLE!!! Do you remember the story that Jack told Kate when Kate was sutchering up Jack? Cuz evry lost fan in my area(Rhode Island) can’t remember, except for me :)!

    The story was about when Jack was doing a Spinal Surgery, and he made an inscision wrong and the patients Spinal fluid and nerves were flowing out of the incision “Like Agenl Hair pasta”. Mmmmmm Angel Hair pasta, I’ll always think of the patients nerves…. BTW I plan to be an MD in Emergency Medicine. The ER will be mine - all mine!!

    Isn’t it abnormal to have to teeth at that age? Is this going to be a real problem for that little sweetie down the road? Is it a birth defect? Kitties need their teeth so I hope he grows them in.

    It isn’t that it is abnormal not to have teeth at that age. Lets just say that he is a late bloomer. Don’t you worry none that baby will have all his chomper soon enough.

    Fuzz is a sweet and loving word to describe our fluffy cats and kittens. Fuzzy means soft and furry. So when you see something like “I am talking!” FUZZ. It’s used to describe the FUZZ or kitten in the picture. Does that help? It’s difficult to describe….

    I always think too it is that fuzzy warm feeling we get when we look at them. My heart feels like a warm angora sweater - geez I losing it I have been having those fuzzy feelings since Petey came to visit his Aunt Susan for the past week.

    fuzz in this case referrs to the adorable way the fur sticks straight out from his face and body, and how soft it feels. We can often refer to a human baby who had a head of hair sticking out from their head (naturaly) as “fuzzy”, with affection or carino.
    Hope that helped some.

    At four weeks old, he’s a little late getting his baby teeth. Since he was abandoned, he might have been malnourished for a while, which would explain his development being a bit behind. The teeth should show up pretty soon, though, now that he’s in a home and getting good grub.

    Since we are asking questions…how in the world do you get pictures without “red eye”? I have a cat that no matter how you take his picture you get it. It doesn’t matter whether there is a flash or not…(maybe he is just a little devil). But serious, any ideas?

    If it’s a film photo (as opposed to digital) there are pens available to cancel it out. You can probably find them at photography shops, craft shops, or scrapbook shops. If it’s a digital photo, I think most photo manipulation programs have a red-eye remover. There is also a type of flash that blinks three times before it flashes - the light causes the pupils to constrict so less light is reflected from their eyes. I don’t know how well that would work on cats; it was probably designed for humans. Personally, I don’t like being on the other end of that - instead of just one spot from the flash, I end up seeing 4 spots. Another possibility would be to get the cat to look away from the camera, or at least not look directly at the camera - my Esme always seems more interested in the strap dangling from my camera, and when she’s looking at it, I don’t get any reflection in her eyes. I hope this helps.

    CatRancher, Thanks for the info but I was hoping to just type it in. I’m not very computer savvy. We are new at this. I have the quotes written down but not on my computer. I wouldn’t know where to begin, to be able to post them in the TDK comment box. I know my computer probably has the capability but I havem’t found it! Everbody probably thinks I’m a dummy! I’m like you, I hope Dee is ok and has just been busy.

    Renee-Do you mean capital letters? On the left side of the keyboard is the ‘Caps Lock’ key. This will capitalize all the letters you are typing. Type away in the comment box!! Make sure to press the caps lock again to turn off the feature when you are finished. A little light at the top right of the keyboard will remind you if the feature is on or off. Hope this helps and isn’t insulting.

    Hello,
    You might try
    hitting the
    ‘Enter’ key
    after each
    line you
    are typing.
    Don’t worry if the line of words are longer than one line as the computer will automaticaly skip down to the next line as you type, then hit the enter key.
    I hope
    this helps.
    Sincerely,
    Andy

    Is it Booce or Bocce? Bocce seems more likely (given that it is in the description rather than the title) but thought I’d check. He sure is a cutie.
