I am thinking like a nurse alright! Get me some dang drugs!

From what I've seen, nurses make the worst patients.

Kathy - I'll whine with you, I'm home sick today, though thankfully it's just a cold - not what you are dealing with.

Stupid question.

Speaking of wants, my kids have been bugging the heck out of me for a cat.  Now they've got Dad on board, so I'm the meanie.  If (and that's a BIG if) we get a cat, there would be no litter box - so it would need to be an indoor/outdoor cat.  I am the one that gets stuck cleaning the litter box, and my last cat made a huge mess with the litter all over the floor.  I've only had an indoor cat in my life, so I have no idea if they take to this willingly?  Anyone have any issues with cats and their chickens? 

My Chickens chase my Cats. I have a cat that is going to have kitten in a few weeks just say' in !

Might have to think about that. Let me know what you end up with kitty wise.

Apparently the rescues here have lost their mind. You can't even get a cat from the pound without agreeing to keep it solely inside. Not to mention the "home inspection". Gimme a break, you can keep your dang cat. A friend that lives in NJ says the rescues there are not like this. So obviously the cat rescue people are as bad as the dog rescue people.

Yolo County Animal Control shelter has lots of cats to be adopted out as barn cats, so keeping them outdoors is ok. The SPCA probably requires cats to be indoor only. There are also farms out here overrun with cats & kittens. I can find you a kitty if you would like.

Yolo County is one of the more Sane shelters, although there is a group that wants to take it over. It may not be as good after that.

The Shelter is currently run by the Sheriffs Dept. so it is more like what Shelters were like years ago. Woodland contracts Animal Control from them too.

It's not just out by you guys, when we adopted a puppy about 10 years ago here in Tulsa it was insane the questionaire we had to fill out. As I filled it out I was thinking to myself, "Do you want MY answer or the answer you obviously want to hear?" to the questions like, "What is a good reason to get rid of a pet?" And signing a form that says if we need to get rid of the pet for any reason we promise to bring it back to the shelter. This is the dog we incidentally had to take to a different shelter and give up last summer because at 9 years old she became a chicken killer that could get through any fence.

Thanks for the offer. We're still in the "thinking about it" phase.

I wouldn't mind a strictly indoor cat and "force" my son's to take care of the food/water/litter box as they are the ones who want the cat. (by force I mean they lose their computer if they don't - which is a HUGE punishment for them) But DH is strongly against a litter box in the house.

Nurses come in second. Doctors make the worst patients, hands-down.

I'm strongly against litter boxes and cats in the house.
