Who here has a trampoline AND a cat?

[Sugar Smack]

Have there ever been any, um, accidents? I'm a little nervous about the combination of the three Soph, me, & trampoline) in my living room.

Please advise.:hi:

[HEyHEY]

1. I wouldn't say it was an accident

That Cat wouldn't either

[Sugar Smack]

2. OMG-

:rofl:

I mean, it would be possible for a cat to be *OK* joining you on the trampoline only for one nanosecond during your jump: the one where your feet haven't left the material yet, and the upward motion is exactly par with the rest of the rack.

Other than that, I can't see much good coming out of it. :o

[Sugar Smack]

3. *bounce*

Any stories? For the night crowd. Best-case scenarios?

[bicentennial_baby]

4. omg, you have a trampoline?!?!

:wow:

you. rule. the. universe. :woohoo:

[Sugar Smack]

6. Well, it's one f those TINY exercise trampolines,

but my GOD, how would it be to bounce up & down on that thing everyday & get my six-pack back? I LOVE it!!!

:bounce: and you!

[bicentennial_baby]

7. something like that could get me to actually exercise!!

i'd be like this, every day of the week:

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

kisses to you sweetness!! :* :* :* :* :* :* :*

[Sugar Smack]

11. I'm placing it FAR AWAY from the ceiling fan.

How many precautions does a woman have to take? Cat, ceiling fan, other people joining me? Hey, aren't you doing Pilates? Sniffa confessed to that in your sex thread! :D

Kisses back to you, big time! :* :* :* Like they do in Paris

[bicentennial_baby]

13. hahahaha

no, that's the Mrs., she's far more motivated than i on that tip...me, i'm the nerd, with my head in the books :D

but if it counts, i had to run yesterday, for the first time in forever...my dog got loose x(

[bettyellen]

24. got a call from a local tavern: "come get your friend, he's up on the bar

doing air guitar, and hit his head on the ceiling fan."
as he was going down, he called out "Betty". so they called me.
sad, but true.

[bicentennial_baby]

25. was he ok?

:scared: ow!

hi Betty!! :hi:

[bettyellen]

28. well, that was five years ago, and he survived that night but....

he stopped drinking and found god. :puke:
needless to say, not nearly as much fun as he used to be.
hi honey!
:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

29. ooh, ouch!

that's a serious bummer! :o

:loveya:

[bettyellen]

30. he had some real issues. last time i saw him, i had to push him out of

my car, and he got sorta tangled in the chest part of the seat belt. LOL.
i was like, you're not getting any, plus, i might take off dragging your body out the car door.
maybe he needed god to replaace me! :rofl:

[Deja Q]

38. How much did it cost?

:)

[Sugar Smack]

39. Twenty-five bucks, baby!

How sweet a deal is THAT?

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. .......

[Sugar Smack]

8. I love your username, and

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Your idea that my cat may enjoy being sprung into the stratosphere! ;)

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Thanks..and Be Careful! Or this may happen!! WARNING! (PIX)

And PERMANENT AIR-CAT DISPLACEMENT CAN HAPPEN!!

[Sugar Smack]

18. LOL! OMG! That first pic!! Holy HELL!

That will be my cat, when and if!

Thank you so much for the crack-up! White wine- all over the keyboard! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[eyepaddle]

9. That might be the single greatest question

ever posed! :D

(fyi: I have neither--sorry)

[Sugar Smack]

12. Oh, eyepaddle!

Thank you! My worries are with the logistics of my landing on the trampoline, a nanosecond later my cat deciding to play, then her Highness being flung clear into the bedroom for our bad timing.

You probably have timing issues with Trout or Red Snapper, am I right? ;-)

[eyepaddle]

17. Trout and suckerfish,

but they do a pretty good job of getting out of your way. The little fingerling fish sometimes jump out of way in schools--that's pretty funny to watch!

I can see why you're worried about the cat though!

:hi:

[skygazer]

10. Not me however

I once tried doing aerobics with four Boxers in the room. It didn't work so hot.

[Sugar Smack]

14. Sophie doesn't understand "situps" either.

She thinks I'm making myself available as some crunching stuffed toy, and I get shredded a few situps into my routine. She LOVES to jump on me.

[fudge stripe cookays]

20. I'll trade ya.

I'll take your cuddly Sophie, and you can have psycho Molly who avoids everyone and everything but reprehensor.

[Sugar Smack]

23. Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can sort of do "joint custody". I'll get Molly when (excuse me, Psycho Molly") when I need to do a few laps or whatever, and you can get nosy, kissy Sophie whenever you want some real serious Kitty-love. She's the best at that, you know; she'll even curl up at you when you sleep! :D

:hi: :loveya: ~Stefania

[fudge stripe cookays]

27. I MISS THAT!

I want a kitty who loves me again! :cry:

Although she is making progress. We first got her when she was 7 months old, and she bounced off the FREAKING WALLS. She was a rescue. A friend of ours usually does dog rescue, but had gotten this cat when her owner surrendered her. It was some college guy who'd had her at his place with a bunch of college guy roommates, and had kept her in his closet for awhile.

It's only natural she's a little unhinged. I try to think about what she might have gone through, and it ain't pretty! She's very funny, just not super affectionate. She IS starting to love on my legs in the kitchen when she wants snacks though. That's encouraging.

:hi:

[Sugar Smack]

31. Sophie's a Ho.

She'd love you, but she may respond to Reprehensor more. God, I'm speechless at the treatment of your baby before you got her. You two have made her life GOOD. I really love you for that.

:D

[fudge stripe cookays]

32. Nah...

She has a big bumbling, 100 pound fluffy white goofball chase her around the house, nearly step on her, and sneeze on her.

She's still pissed, I think.

:D

[Deja Q]

15. You do realize there are more natural ways to go about bouncing?

:shrug:

Though, regardless, it's always safer to do it without the cat. I mean, think about it, such an action would get that cat's hair all straightened up! :wow:


(and why am I resisting the urge to paraphrase Mrs. Slocombe?!)

[Sugar Smack]

19. "You do realize there are more natural ways to go about bouncing?"

You're a sick puppy. Wow. You knock my socks off, though. Please, don't ever change!

*damn* You're making my heart pulse in my lips again! What's wrong with me? Or you, for that matter?

[Deja Q]

21. What's wrong with me?!

This. :)


BTW: I do appreciate your response; but I am surprised that I had it in me! :D

[Sugar Smack]

26. Honey, you're as perfect a soul as I'd ever want to meet,

much more, sit next to at dinner to talk with. I read your file, and I will accept and cherish you for ANY reason. You have wit, humanity, charm, and you smell good. My God, maybe I'll kidnap you right along with bibaby.



:loveya:

[Deja Q]

37. Awww! Thanks for the compliment!

:blush:

Want my phone number? I can prepare in advance for when the day of the kidnappings come! :D

[bettyellen]

22. my cats use the bed to jump really high- 3-4 feet in the air while

batting around one of my hair elastics.
i give them 1/2 hour before i put on the topsheet or blankets, they go insane.
i did bang my lip against Caindy's head when she tried to leap over me, and it's swollen today. She's a bruiser, it felt like i'd been punched!
:hi:
you coming up to NY darlin? i heard a rumour.

[Sugar Smack]

33. Hey, darlin'! I can't get the damned-assed time off work!

I WISH I could see you & all of our DU friends. It sucks; first, I had my appendix taken out (no prob) then I actually got SICK! No room for mistakes. My boss is eyeing me carefully now. I'm only a graphic designer.

:hi:

[bettyellen]

35. oh darn! ain't it one sucky world when surgery isn't the worst problem

from your appendix. that stinks. i had the same shit going on when my mom was in intensive care, they were total assholes because i couldn't work late every single day, and just like forget her. :shrug: same assholes would disappear to go to a yankee game, or show up at meetings too coked up to work. that made it even harder to take.
glad you feel good! hope we both find nicer, more appreciative bosses one of these days!
:toast:

[cwydro]

34. I have THREE cats

and they all think that I am a trampoline!

[Sugar Smack]

41. Oh, fun! Except that morning bit-

When my alarm goes off, Sophie lands squarely, but surely, RIGHT on my solar plexus with all four paws. And she's a little cat, too. She knows exactly where to get me so I wake up with the wind knocked outta me. Then she meows loudly in my face.

It sounds like she's saying, "So THERE."

[no name no slogan]

36. boingboingboing

I'm amazed at your motivation! 2006 will be your year, no doubt about it!

:hug: :loveya:
:* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :*

[Sugar Smack]

42. Oh, sweetie-

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. You do know, don't you, that it all started with that conversation we had, sitting cross- legged on the bed, talking for hours that morning.


:loveya: :* :*

[Lochloosa]

40. This is what might happen....WARNING: Video

http://www.killsometime.com/video/video.asp?ID=62

[Sugar Smack]

47. OMG! My brother showed me that video-

He had to tell me beforehand that the cat was fine afterward, so I could see it & not feel too bad if my first urge was to laugh! *OUCH*

[In_The_Wind]

43. I don't have a cat or a trampoline.

I've seen the size of your living room. Where am I going to park my luggage on my next trip south.



:hi:

[Sugar Smack]

44. Ummmm...Ummmm... *shit*

I know! I'll get rid of some things! No, I just thought of something. My coffee table is an empty wooden toy chest - no, I promise you I'll think of something!

:D ----> NEW MAIL! You have new messages in your inbox.

[In_The_Wind]

45. No worries.

I really do need to learn to pack light before I start Triking around.

I do love New Mail check your own Inbox!

[Sugar Smack]

49. Dahling, a woman NEEEDS her bits & pieces for the sort of hike

you're making. I shall empty out a closet, all for you. :hug:

[Left Is Write]

46. I have a cat, therefore I AM the trampoline.

[Sugar Smack]

48. Me too. It never ceases to amaze me

how she just assumes my stomach's a springboard when I'm asleep. That's why I call her The Incredible Flying Squirrel.
