Can I announce that I am in the final stages of launching my cat care business??


No, I'm not joking.

Yes, I'm a dork. A dork who loves kitties.


Anyways, here in the big city, there are tons of people looking for care for their pets when they go on vacation. Most people here specialize in doggie care. I love dogs, but thats not my thing. So, I've been putting together my new business called "Urban Meows". (Web site to be launched in the next few days) and I am going to serve the north side of Chicago as a kitty sitter.

That's really cool but for a second my mind played a dyslexic trick on me when reading your post. For just a second I thought you were starting a cat launching business!

I'd assume you would need a catapult for something like that...

hahaha.. Flying kitties for all!

My family cat lived to be almost 20 as well.

yeah, you really do lose a member of the family when they've lived that long

Yes, Jazzy is a Maine Coon. She's a little shy, but quite the hunter! I've seen her kill a couple of the hummingbirds that hang out in our backyard. Those things move fast as lightening, although I don't condone her doing such actions (I actually want the hummingbirds hanging out in my garden!!!). And yes, my Jazzy looks just like your Jasmine!!!

yeah, Jasmine is only half Maine Coon, but has all the characteristics of one. she's an indoor cat, and declawed before i got her. i hear they're good little hunters, but i'll never see it with her.

Still no kitty, third day. I've got posters and online lost ads all over, not much hope though.
God this place is so depressing without that cat :(

I hope you find your cat, Rygar. I can sympathise with both you and iluvcats because, erm, iluvcats.

The only hope now is that she's hanging around with someone, I tried to get a lot of mailboxes covered (not individual mail boxes, communal post office areas ) and we have a sign at the grocery store. I have my fingers crossed, but there's pictures all over the apartment I keep flipping over..


Attachment sucks.
PS: Thanks, MCKB

:( :(
hope she comes home sooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!

I envy you all with cats! I will never own another cat. I got too attached. One died when he was 4 years old (when I was 23.) He was gorgeous.

This is my little boy who was put to sleep last year, he was nearly 16! This is before he was sick:
