Nope, but it describes me pretty well. There is a funny website www.stuffonmycat.com and I found it there. :p

And I'm down to $441.47 - not close enough for me to order stuff to finish it out. I'm making calls to hand-picked people (people who probably won't be offended if I call on Sunday - normally Sunday is family day for me, but we have tomorrow, too) starting at 1pm.

OMG these is some hilarious stuff on there!!

We are leaving in a few minutes to go to the airport and pick up our new cat. We inherited my Great Aunt's cat, Suki. She is being shipped in today. I have had my cat, Smudge, for 13 years and am worried about how (or whether) Smudge will accept Suki. I am afraid it ain't gonna be pretty...

Let them meet slowly. Keep them apart at first - different rooms. Check out http://www.wpr.org/pets/ to see if you can find some stuff. If your current cat stops using the litter box, cut back on their interaction. There's tons of info on how to introduce new cats to each other. Cats can be VERY fragile, but most people don't see it until too late.

Okay, I'm down to $322.97.....gettin there! My hubby is even being supportive! We had some people over last night (the boys come over once a month to play D&D) and one asked for a catalog when I said I was giving 25% off - I really want this! So, the friend was asking about some of the products and, of course, I got them out for him to see. He asked about the Citrus Press and hubby raved about it! I was so amazed! I mean, he is supportive, but usually not actively supportive!

I don't know if anyone is still reading this thread, but I love coming back to it and seeing how far I have come - especially since I feel weird asking people if they want to order even though I only met them once, or not at all! I am amazed at the support people have given me - every little bit helps! I'm down to $293.72!!!

Awesome Kate; sometimes ya just gotta do that:)
 
Congratulations! You worked hard for that one.
 
Congrats Kate! I agree that it's really cool to see how far you were just a couple days ago. I did the same thing with the San Fran trip. Then you sit back and say "How did I get that much in sales in a matter of a couple days?":p

Way to go, You EARNED IT!!!:D
 
I knew you'd do it, you kook! Congrats!!!
 
Way to go Kate!! "Out with a Bang" as they say...

She's being shipped from New York down to Florida. We got her yesterday adn she is such a love. We are keeping her in the master bedroom/bathroom with a litter box and allowing her to interact with Smudge here & there. Smudge hates her already and Suki is just timid. Each has her own part of the house, her own food & water. Smudge has a cat-door so she can go out whenever she wants and Suki has a litter box for now - we'll slowly introduce her to "outdoors" in a few days.
