yes, they are absolutely potty trained. i had to cloister them in the bathroom till they were, as babies, but they got it. they clean themselves ALL the time, very fastidious about it. they are the most affectionate but crazy kitties i have ever seen. not as in climbing the drapes crazy. as in flying 120 mph through the house and jumping over couches or jumping vertical 6' in the air after an imaginery buggie crazy. i think just to crack me up honestly, they look at you when you laugh as if to say "oh yea? think that was funny, watch this." and they do top it, every time. my daughter comes to me in hysteria telling me of what one or the other did. it's not 24:7 like that, just maybe 20 minutes a day.
though not related that i know of, they were born at the same time, same house. they're a mix of bengal and silver maine coon cat. long story but a really horrible situation with a breeder had barn cats mate with all her pedigrees. she had an ex-husband watch her cats for her while she visited family in England. i guess it wasn't amicable, their divorce. she ended up with something like 19 crosses.
her disaster worked in my benefit with the lovelies (or furies?) who grace me with their presence. they are my "pin-cesses." lol. they definitely rule this roost.
do you like the doggie LD? i think he's adorable. though i would not trade my bengal kittens for anything. they are so cool ~ affectionate, intelligent, and absolutely hilarious to watch. i have not had this much laughter and joy in my life in years. they're little blessings from the universe for sure. crazy little things! i tried to find a good video of what they're like, but each one i've watched on youtube only presents one little aspect of them. i've had cats and dogs my whole life, they are the best. mine literally have my pitbull/chow/shep mix in an avoidance pattern, she fears one of them alot. Moon attacks her! i know it's out of fear because Moon-Moon came up to me and was trembling from her fear. :o( silly little lilly! i'm trying to work with her fear, she watches very closely. the other one (silly girlfriend) is the complete opposite, but because they look almost identical, i think my dogs can't tell the difference and think the cat is psychotic or something lol. Butter purrs and wants sooooo much to snuggle and be friends, but the dogs growl to keep her away prolly thinking "ok, psycho kitty's going to come out anytime now." lol. my female alpha dog tho, she barks back at the one that attacks, i have to watch her. but she's like "yo, you are NOT going to stick that frigging 1/8" claw in my nose chiquita, not without me ripping you a new one."

an article mentioning the nupitals of Ms. Kelly, and her fathers wishes that he be allowed the opportunity to share in that special moment. :o). i think knowing Ozzy wants that is sooooo sweet, honestly. as her father, to give her away symbolically and literally to the man she is in love with? wow, that is the most beautiful thing. it's a simple thing, but once again, i would have to say, it means a lot. as an aside, damn that boy is tall. have you seen them together? he is like a giant next to her.
when driving australian roads ,well kangaroos have that jump power,and alas i have hit in my life about fifteen of em,,dont worry they get there revenge because the damage to a vehicle is full on,,and about peta ,they came over here a few years back and ranted and raved about the pain of the lamb,,yes agreed the pain would be there and last for a bit ,but overall it needs to be done,,the australian government has implememted a plan to stop the practice of mulesing by the end of next year,either a new breed of sheep that dont need it or a injection to stop the pain ,but with 80 million sheep this will take a while,maybe longer than a year,here is a mulesed sheep
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41319000/jpg/_41319251_mulesing203.jpg
and here is a sheep that got fly blown,because of not being mulesed
http://www.funnytheworld.com/2005/Mar/sheep.jpg
this sheep is lucky because the farmer got to him in time,,but in australia there are properties bigger than belgium,and theres no way you can keep a eye on all your live stock--i was just saying ,,anyway yes sometimes peta does do a correct job and the world needs organisations like them ,but really most of australia dont want them here,,

in the words of my son "ewww, mom, why are you looking at those pictures." (after explanation) "that's frigging disgusting...what a frigging disgusting @ss chap to a sheep." (snork snork?) okay, i'll be more serious here. I read about mulesing on wikipedia, so i understand, but d@mn it does look terrible gimp. but so does a little guys weenie after circumcision, if you must know. both appear to serve a higher purpose, but can you say "ouch?"
and, i am not trying to stir up the Africanized bees nest with this one. i squeel my brakes for any animal big or small, and by the grace have only hit a rabbit one time so far and was devastated thereafter for some time (honestly). but once or twice i have had a sense of accomplishment to have a swarm of bees hit the windshield. followed swiftly by a distinct sense of annoyance that i have to stop and get the bug-guts scraped off. sorry PETB. but that's only my instinctive reaction to having been stung by about 20 of them as a fourteen year old when an idiotic boyfriend of my sister jumped on a rotten porch base housing a huge bee hive cuz he didn't believe my warnings to stop testing the soundness of the flooring with bounces. @ss-holio jumped up and hit the floor, never have since seen anyone run so fast in my life. alas, poor me was sitting on a rail, and by the time i hit the ground to run was already stung that many times.
[now y'all know i'm just joking around here. Lord knows we are all extreme humanitarian (or should i say animal-tarian and bug-tarian) here, and that is a fact. :o). ]
actualy in australia if i accidentally hit a kangaroo,,i will stop the car and finish the job,,only to put the animal out of pain,,we have WIRES here wich is wildlife injured rescued emergemcy somethin or rather,but at 3 in the morn they arnt comin,,so because i live miles from anywhere ,i carry a axe with me for such a event,,i dont hit ,many roo but just incase,,and peta isnt welcome on our shores they have no clue to whats going on with sheep mulesing,,we have 80 million sheep here and they want to ban our wool because we use the practice of mulesing--please peta check the facts before you go off half c**ked,,our lambs get mules'd so later in its life it wont get fly blown and die a hideous death,
and blades agrreed men are from the race of manUNkind

if you really think about it, it's all part of humanities Manifest Destiny. pretty sad, but true. industrialization shifted the balance of things. so those of us more sensitive folk, we mourn. yes, brethren, we mourn deep within. it brings us peace to share our woe and blighted souls with our fellow slayers.
wee, wee buggies and squirrels ... deer, skunks, coatamundi, racoons, cats, dogs ...grasshoppers, bees, flies, dragonflies... murderors, we kill them all. sadly, by the by, the deaths are unmourned.
cruel beasts that we are.
where is PETA when those things happen? or PETB? they should have roadside warriors here and non waiting to beat the cr@p out of us for our transgressions. after all, to us, it's all in the name of progress, but to them. weeeehhhhhhllll.
and are they worthy of mention? oh yes...especially on an Ozzy website, where such things tie us together. it's our way to make amends if you will. to pay tribute to the imbalance we participate in, and honor the perfection of nature.
d@mn the dark side each one of us has within. for who of us has not been responsible for the circle of life ending too rapidly for one of the wee ones?
well blades stop throwing bugs at your window,,that sounds like a circular torment,,ha ha ha ha ha ha and i thort snork snork was the noise outside your window because you rented some pigbeasts of 82,,he does have a good rental price,,ask him ha ha ha ha ha ha

snork snork, that's a laugh that has gone beyond a chuckle, beyond a guffaw with a twitching body, beyond even the deepest of deep belly laughs that takes you to the floor in spaz. yes, it is much more intense. indeed! tis a laugh that found it's way even into the sinus passages ... where they're shuddering from the breath you're trying to catch (whoof whooof) but can't cuz you're laughing so hard your face turns the deepest shade of red from lack of oxygen. where your nostrils stick together and you can't get any air in. it's a laughing so hard ya pee your pants.
well, maybe not THAT dramatic.
but the general idea is there.
the teasing is funny, ya have to admit. poor wee animal. but then i get emotional when a bug hits my window.
here's one instance of my blade flashing:
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/Blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=128222
if it's glowing, this would be why.
and LD? i'm not into nuts. umm...wait, well, i AM into them if you mean it THAT way...but what I meant to say was...damn. how can I win in this conversation??? hmmph~! gimp, you just leave me alone. bwa hahahaha!!!!

you are a nutzoid as well as an Ozznoid and a gimpnoid. the imagery of the beotch-slap? i have to admit, it did bring a big chuckle. ;0) heh heh. and the name is darkbladeUS - just to clarify. the f_ stands for female, and US ... um, well, yes. you get that one. my moniker is "Darkblade" in many places. and that is Romantic Goth for a sword held by a knight... the slightly devilish rake...the hero who saves the day. you know the type.
well you started your post with right gimp and the next paragraph started with and gimp,,so i figured i didnt wat you to actually lean thru the computer and slap me ha ha ha ha ha all though i would of enjoyed a touch of evil ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haha ha because sometimes my therapy does go nowhere,and now your going to hassle me for the touch of evil comment,,hey your the one with the name darkblades and im just a gimpnoid--so anyway slap away--i deserve this i deserve this lol ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ok here goes
YES I UNDERSTAND TERRIBLE SHAME THAT WAS hows that --or is it to late now,yeah probably too late ,oh well bring on the wrath of blades,,

i am a woman gimp...you know when i say "end of subject" of course that is not r-e-a-l-l-y what i mean...see, this is when you have to put on your thinking cap and rrrrrrroll with me, bring on the empathy, say "yes, yes... I understand, shame, terrible shame it was"...lolololol...
right gimp, nobody is saying whether they should or shouldn't marry. i think the article just kind of says that it would be nice for dad to be able to walk his baby girl down the aisle, and have that moment to share with her. it's one that is precious and forever. i think that's all it's saying.
and gimp? my oldest eloped because of the pregnancy mainly, but also because of the drama with her parents and steps being hostile amongst one another. it devastated me (who wasn't part of any of that) that i didn't get to see my son bond his life to a woman. even if it was the simplest of ceremonies. honestly, it didn't seem on "the up and up" that it happened that way. my son's a wonderful guy, and his wife is a wonderful girl. it was their spontaneous choice to do things that way rather than have angst. but it hurts. end of subject.
So, you fell for it too.
I was like WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! But, it was just a hook used to pull you in to read an article that isn't exactly about what you thought it was.
This is an "awww" article, truthfully. From a daddy to his daughter. I really hope Kelly has alot of friends that tell her about it, that she reads it, and that she takes to heart wisdom from someone who loves her, and she actually listens.
There is ALOT of wisdom in taking your time with major life decisions like marriage and children. The saying "Fools rush in where angels fear to tred" has been passed on for a reason.
Usually we're in such a hurry to experience these things that we don't finish growing up first. And the trials of a marriage really take GOOD COMMUNICATION, COMMITMENT, and MATURITY. I'd say until both are 26, it's a big mistake.
Anyways, without further ado:
