My cats do that attacking the legs thing too sometimes when they are looking for attention or trying to tell us something (usually, that the water in their bowl is low). Anyway, I hope Data is behaving better - he really is adorable! Love the pics! Thanks for sharing. :) Yikes!

I am thinking I better not go back for the same reason. Logistically, it doesn't work for us to have a dog right now, but I was looking at them thinking which ones I would like to take home... Erin - Thanks! He's been "pretty good" since I wrote this. *knock on wood* Alice - We use the lint roller too! It gets the surface hair off, but doesn't get much else. Really, to clean Data, I use a fine tooth comb. It lasts for about 10 seconds before he starts attacking it. Jen512 - We were surprised he was into it. Maybe it is because he was half asleep? Are there a lot of strays there? I bet there are! Take that tabby home and show her some love :) Gina (Mannyed) - Gina! I love you too! I bet you would feed me more than Mommy. Please come pick me up and take me to NYC to see my cousin. Love, Data Hotch Potchery - Ha! That is a good trick to try too ;) martymankins - Aww, thanks :D claire - Wow! Scary story! I will have to remember that for Data! Christina - I was starting to feel that way too. "What's one more cat...?" Soon that we be, two more, three more... sizzle - Thanks! Denise - Ha! I think so too! Kim - LOL! Have the Red Cross on standby ;) diane - I was surprised, because he usually runs from the vacuum, but didn't seem to care that day! Ha! Data does that to Steven when he does yoga too. Aww, such sweeties. Cats would be good at yoga - they're so flexible! *lynne* - That is what we thought was so funny too - his turn. I am sorry your cat is still doing that. I wonder why she decided to start doing that. Does she need a buddy to keep her occupied when you are gone? tori – Ha!

That Data allows the vacuuming is amazing already, but then he turns over so you can do the other side?? Oh. My. Where on earth did you find this cat?? :D Our psycho kitty, unfortunately, has peeing (sometimes even pooping) outside the box issues... and it's totally behavioural - this happens usually when we leave her alone for too long (i.e. overnight, or if we leave early morning and only come back late at night). I scoured the internets and found a lot of positive reviews for a product called "Dumb Cat" that is supposed to really clean up the pee residue *and* discourage cats from 'going' again in the treated area. Heh. Not working! :( LoL! That Data allows the vacuuming is amazing already, but then he turns over so you can do the other side?? Oh. My. Where on earth did you find this cat?? :D

It must make pet hair pickup 100x easier. My kitties are TERRIFIED of the vac so no way that's happening here. :( Bastet decided my yoga mat was her own personal napping rug WHILE I was doing yoga this evening. I ended up getting my foot bit during one pose where I apparently encroached on her territory! (but I still love her, it was just a nip and pretty funny) I am sooo jealous that Data lets you vacuum him! It must make pet hair pickup 100x easier.

I would LOVE to try that with my cats, but I'm pretty sure I already know how that'd end up and I wasn't planning on giving blood today. I too am in awe of the vacuuming!

I can't go into shelters otherwise I ened up wanting to adopt them all. They are such complex but lovable creatures.

I'm in awe of the vacuuming vid. Back in the day, my roommate had a couple of cats and they never would've allowed it. Or been anywhere near it in the first place. Tried leashes but that was pretty disastrous as well. In trying to adjust it so it would be tight enough Tiger couldn't just wiggle out of it, my roommate went a bit too tight and Tiger jumped off our low deck, still in leash, but it caught on the rail so the cat in her freakout was essentially hanging herself, swinging violently, periodically touching ground. I doubt I've ever moved as fast as I did to get off the deck to get the leash off. Tiger was fine, but it shook me up. Great shots! I’m in awe of the vacuuming vid.

I've said it before, but regardless of his shitbox status, Data is a pretty cool cat. Awesome photos. I’ve said it before, but regardless of his shitbox status, Data is a pretty cool cat.
