No biggie. Went to Ikea and replaced it. Tonight he broke a glass in just a mad frenzy. Also from Ikea. Couldn't he have broken them at the same time and saved me a second trip?

I recommend someone with padded walls. :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40329#post-706288 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:50:52 +0000 TheKnittingNinja 706288@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>ok I got my flight plans.

I'm sorry it's been some time since I've done this but I really haven't had anything to report. I finally saw the doctor that I've been on the waiting list to get on the waiting list to see. Wow, what a session! He seems to be fairly certain that I have one of the rarest forms of headache. He said it's not mirgranes I suffer from but a condition called SUNCT Syndrome. Not much can be done for this other than surgery to deaden the nerves in my temples. What to take for pain? Why opiates of course! The one thing I was always told I couldn't have because this guy didn't like that! Why isn't that a hoot!! Most doctors can't dignose this as they have never seen it.</p> <p>I've always said that if it is wild, unheard of, and can never happen to anyone, it WILL happen to me! Oh well at least I know what to call it now! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40295#post-705955 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:19:03 +0000 Emma 705955@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>My sweet big baby Ruggles has a new obsession: any piece of cloth is a potential "blankie." A "blankie" is some sort of fabric thingie that he can cuddle into, lie upon, rub his head against and croon songs to it.</p> <p>I found this out this morning when I came downstairs to find him shredding a dish towel while making "muffins" with his big fluffy paws.

So, of course, I took a video of it to share:</p> <p><a href="http://youtu.be/hJgvMzCf1zw" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/hJgvMzCf1zw</a></p> <p>He is my loudest purrer right now, and an all around great cat </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40320#post-706171 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 10:50:48 +0000 onlinebuddy 706171@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Kittenmaster, I need your help. I had created a TDK account as "willtoway" about a 2 years ago. Recently when I returned to TDK I somehow wasn't able to retrieve my password despite many attempts. Therefore I opened a new account as "onlinebuddy." Yesterday I tried searching for my previous posts as willtoway and I found them. I tried retrieving my willtoway password and it worked. So now I have two TDK login names: willtoway and onlinebuddy. Can I combine the posts from both under my current login name i.e. onlinebuddy? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40294#post-705927 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:13:25 +0000 Cats4Cats 705927@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Spook is celebrating her 5th anniversary with her forever home with a party at the roller rink today! Her anniversary is officially Valentine's Day, but she knows her meowmy would be too busy to celebrate then.</p> <p>The caterers have arranged for lots of tuna dishes and catnip treats, and Spook has brought Greenies and her favorite toys. Chris has ensured that there are comfy beds and chairs available for the older cats like himself. Topaz has set up a manicure and fur-styling station, and Snake is spiking the drinks with catnip.</p> <p>Spook hopes all her friends can make it! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40288#post-705886 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:05:14 +0000 Davesmum 705886@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>What's the thinking on towers????
