Ouch. I would hate to be allergic to cats. I remember I actually got pissed off at my doctor when she even suggested I was allergic to my cats when I started having some health issues. Looking back I just think it was stress and massive exposure to cigarette smoke. It was when my parents were getting divorced and my mom's house went to s**t, dad started smoking around us more and he was like going through 2 cartons a week and got a girlfriend that smoked.

I miss my kitties ono. I get to see them in a few weeks though! Yay! Where we used to live we had a problem with coyotes and at the same time every year we'd get a lot of missing cat posters and no one ever found their cats. it was awful. Our old cat Mira escaped just after she had kittens, their eyes were just open and she never came back, it was really sad but me and my sisters helped give the kittens formula and we gave them to our neighbours when they were big enough. Miss her D:

Cigarette smoke sucks. At the moment they're trying to get rid of ALL smoking on campus at uni. This year they're trialling smoking zones which are kinda working...
You'd think that in an area with coyotes everyone would try to keep their cats inside. Right? I mean that's what I'd do.

I don't know. I don't live in that area anymore but most people there gave their cats the freedom to go out, we did too until Mira. We moved to an island that doesn't have any after that so we got into the habit of letting them out again. We live in an area with less forest now, it's more suburby. So coyotes are generally scared and shy away to the more rural area a town over where they give much more trouble to farmers and their chickens. I've seen them twice but they're barely bigger than my cat! None of our neighbours seem to have had problems and I haven't seen one aside from those two encounters so we still let them out. I kept one inside for some time cause I had to re-litter train him (cause he seemed to have forgotten) and he went insane. My other cat is pretty huge and we've seen him fight off things before and coyotes scare pretty easily. He looks after my other cat and while I have worries about them I really want them to be happy and not cooped up inside all the time.

Fair enough.
I personally am not a fan of having people lets their cats out because they are an introduced species and they kill our native wildlife. I don't mind people having a pet cat, but as soon as it steps outside their property, it's as good as a feral cats to me. I know it sounds harsh, but the Aussie ecosystem has been screwed up enough in the past and I'm trying to do my part to fix it. If the cat has a tag or a microchip we send it home. But otherwise we hand them into the local animal shelter who keep them for a while to see if they have an owner, if the owner is not found within a certain period of time then they are put down.

cat_stare Why do I even consider this one guy a friend? All his does is lie and I hate when he plays ******** hero whenever he brings up the accident constantly telling me that I was completely out of it when we got hit. I remember everything that happened except hitting my head.

So for those who know the back story I have about wings, I thought you might get a kick out of a conversation I had with Zane earlier. So we were on our way to pick up my car after lunch (he picked me up after work to head to the court house to apply to become a notary. Yay more hours!) and we got on the topic of wings because last night I kept feeling tugging. We were brain storming where they might have come from (way better than the whole 'oh you're a Valkyrie'). So Zane was like "Well is there anything in egyptian mythology because you have that connection" and my reply was "well there's two things I can think of off the top of my head. One's completely animal spirit and other being the ba" and he did this hmmm. So I looked at him and said "what? You think I'm ultra sensitive to my ba?"
Well I don't know. Maybe that's one of those you should have been there moments. Not as funny typing it out as it was when the conversation went down. cat_crying

I have many stories like that...funny you-just-had-to-be-there moments. I'd share them, but I doubt people would get the geology references... sweatdrop
As for your brainstorming, could you be ultra-sensitive to your ba?

No idea. It just didn't make sense to me at all that that could be a possibility. The events don't add up to me to equal that. Unless I'm missing something.

So I got up before 6 today to drive 2 hours over to Kalamazoo and do the transfer student equivalent of orientation. It was terribly annoying really. Hours of pointless presentations of information that is readily available online and in the packets they've already e-mailed me and then two hours of actual useful services, including a campus tour and advising session.

I had to do something similar when I started uni, only what was supposed to be a one hour car trip turned into a two hour trip by train and bus, plus a 30 minutes hike to get there. Gives the term 'rural university' a new meaning.
