rain... so relaxing... like I'm showering under a concentrated spring shower. I have very fine hair that's really short, so no worries of inadequate shampoo rinsing. I have a wonderful girlfriend to get out the knots in my shoulders ;)

Looks like the 70's threw up in here... in the very best way! I couldn't live here, but I would love to hang out here! Fun.

Thank you - billy917!!

I was reading sexyartbeast's post and seriously thinking, can this person really exist?? ludicrous.

Seriously, go ask your vet, I imagine about 90% of them will advise against de-clawing. The ones that condone it are probably also the ones that have no problem with ear and tail cropping. ew.

Also, there are negative behavioral links to de-clawing. I've read multiple articles linking de-clawing with litterbox stress. Think about getting your toes cut off, and then being forced to walk on and dig through clay litter to do your business. ouch.

Trimming claws however is not only ok, but is encouraged, especially for indoor cats. In the wild, cats wear down their claws on rough surfaces (trees, bark, and the like). Indoor cats aren't as active and mainly live on smooth surfaces, so their claws will grow and grow, and can cause posture and paw injuries because the claw will grow and put stress on the paw because its too long to retract. (I've seen severe cases of this on animal planet's Animal Cops, on neglected animal cases)

My cat's claws grow really fast, and it doesn't matter how much he scratches on sisal posts and cardboard scratchers (he has about 6 in my home), his claws grow too quickly to keep up with, so I have to trim them. I know they need to be trimmed when he chews on them, poor thing. But please read up on the proper way to trim claws without injury. Its very easy to trim too short, or to crush the claw by trimming it the wrong way.

DESIGNER sawhorses? wah? The first nick or dent you get on it (which will be within the first 5 minutes) would make me cry if I spent $2000 on it.

I think this article should be renamed to "Impractical Things Illogical, Rich, Bored, People Buy"

Simple green works great for me.

Anyone know where I can get more info on the metal chairs in pic 5?

Looks great!!

I like the bathroom.

Wow. I hate doiles, but that picture of the couch is so striking. I think this takes something very frou frou and makes it clean and modern.
