    :)

    you know, i've read that too, about cats and making themselves puke, but i've never seen it.

    my cats eat greens. they like the tiny short sweet new grass. they like the brand new little leaves on the raspberry bushes. they like to nibble the catnip plants. they don't eat the long coarse grass. if they do eat a longer piece of delicious juicy sweet grass, they chew chew chew it and get all the flavour. i grow pots of indoor grass for them in the winter, so they can snack on the new sprouts.

    i've had cats since i was a very young woman. the only time i've seen a cat puke because of long grass, it was because they didn't chew it well enough, and some was caught in their throat. i have had to take a cat to the vet because a piece of long grass was stuck in their throat and it had worked its way back and up into its nasal passages. that is an expensive vet visit, btw. it involves anesthetizing the poor creature.

    i can't speak to what happens with other cats, i can only point to what happens here.


    aaaaaaaaaannd. *repeat sigh* ok

    i'd have not said what was spilled on the keyboard, except that it was pertinent. the stuff's supposedly water-soluble, but there was a lot of it, and i suspected it was going to be a problem.

    so

    yeahhhhh baybeeeee... think bored women who have too much energy. think nearly naked. think all that skin greased and shiny. think throaty noises. think flailing glistening limbs. think rolling around slipping and slithering and laughing.

    just like at the beach with bikinis and sunscreen and going for the same ball in a beachside footie game.

    was it good for you?

    heh :)

    Try BBQ sauce, still sexy, is tasty and comes packaged with directions for usage! Also messes up kb's.

    I've got a friend who's a vet - she says our cat eats grass to get rid of the furballs in his stomach.

    He eats grass on a daily basis - almost every time we let him outside.

    Wrestling with BBQ sauce? I can get on board with that. :D

    sunk... do you have a source for large volume? a little packet like that....? not nearly enough. :p (yum, btw)

    flak, yeah.. i know about other people's cats. i'm just sayin' it's not a universal thing. if you brush your cats, they don't swallow much hair, and have no hairball problems. they eat grass for lots of reasons. pleasure seems to be the reason here.


    aaaand.... apple keyboard


    :D it's even tinier and slimmer than i'd imagined. BUT..after downloading the keyboard software and checking the box in sys prefs, and restarting, the function keys aren't working as advertised. i miss being able to mute everything with a keypress.

    sheesh. i'll take a look in the Apple forums; maybe i've missed something obvious (unusual for me).

    Mick - open System Prefs, then Keyboard & Mouse. Make sure the box in the Keyboard tab is unchecked.

    Excellent keyboard, eh? :wink:

    it's unchecked.

    :) i'll do another restart later. maybe one isn't enough.

    it's excellent. i'm making a lot more typos (and that means a LOT of typos), but i'll adjust. the trick is not to hit the capslock. i'm going to tape my left little finger to my palm, i think.

    I motherfucking HATE that keyboard. It's just as bad as the previous sharpened edge white keyboard.

    "classic" Mac Pro USB keyboard for me. I've got a stock of em too, as they die.

    Mick, what OS revision are you on?

    I think that keyboard needs at least 10.4.10, and even then there is a apple keyboard updater patch thingy.

    It will work with a previous os, but a lot of the apple specific keys like volume wont work.

    My cats eat grass now and again, if they have trouble digesting something or have an upset tomach, it's a fairly quick process and you can see a bunch of long unchewed stalks in the sick.

    Cats are generally pretty good about what they can eat and what isn't good for them. And usuualy if they like it, they eat it - if they don't like it you can go right back out to the sore and fucking buy something better right! (at least thats what I took the forlorn look and the meow to mean).

    Biff, are you using one of these? I've never seen a Mac Pro keyboard.

    Mick, I assumed you were using Leopard, sorry - try checking the box instead, if you're using Tiger. I think Apple changed the wording between revisions to say the exact opposite.

    Biff's Keyboard

    No- that's the sharpened edge one, Flak.

    And a white keyboard? WTF? Who's fucking brilliant idea was that?

    another restart did it. i'm good to go.

    :) :)

    OS is current; keyboard software is current. i didn't like that keyboard, either, Biff.


    base, you're right. the cats do as they darn well please. my theory is: put in catfood, reap purrs.


    as a complete aside (a new experience in this thread), i have a cat story.

    the night before last, i was in bed and roy (one of the three cats) was there. he'd nosed his way in under the mosquito netting.

    so had 3 mosquitoes.

    i was exhausted, and wearily raised my head .. tracking them.

    you know.. the "figure 8" head movement. roy was doing the same thing.

    he looked at me and said " MOW-OW!!" and i replied "yes, MOW-OW".

    he stood up and went after the mosquitoes. he snapped two of them out of the air with his mouth when they flew past him, and he batted the third one down onto the bed and ate it.

    then he looked at me again, and said "MOW-owowow" and flopped down to snuggle.

    i'm keeping him. *nod*

    base has other endearing qualities, but an appreciation of cats is a exceptionally positive character trait.


    so is an appreciation of hot sauce.

    not sure about monkeybutts... :p we'll see....

    lol! someone's selling talcum powder for lotsa money using cutesy graphics! :D how unusual.

    i couldn't remember what you posted, so typed in www.monkeybutt.com by mistake.

    i like the talcum powder ad much better.

    heh

    let me know when you start hot-sauce wrestling; i prefer it oral. :p

    well then. that's purty. :) does it glow in the dark?


    i think i understand why Biff hates the alu keyboard. it doesn't seem like it would give much satisfaction to a gamer. there's no ooomph! when you pound a key.


    i VERY much like it, now that i've disabled the capslock key. that was a problem. :) solved (who used capslock? i can't recall the last time i did.)

    Actually keys with shorter travel time = faster response from player to game, better if you have a keyboard that usues something other than the standard USB keyboard speeds, I suppose it depends how fussy you really are. Most gaming keyboards are using key depth half way inbetween standard and laptop now.

    Love a keyboard with good feedback on the keys though.

    what i know about gaming can be summed up by: my favorite game is still Snood. i'm very good at it. *nod*

    :)

    and... as humiliating and expensive as this actually was, i'm glad that some people will now think twice before brandishing any goop close to their keyboard.



    flak... oh yes.... shouting is such a great way to communicate in text. heh
