As a collector, I like my bears to be frowny but I'm sure lots of people like happy bears!  Why not have a go at a happy bear and see what you think?

My own collection of Charlie Bears so far:

I also collect artist bears, I tend to either save up for them, put them on layaway or get them for Christmas/birthdays.

I know you'll do brilliantly and I'm looking forward to reading it!

Love them!  I want Witch Hazel please!!

Gemma82

I'll try to remember that Karen!  :crackup:

Cats make me feel  bear_wacko lol.  One of mine likes to tell us when she's been to the toilet but we have no idea why!  At least we know to run and fetch the air freshener!

With behaviour changes it's best to get them checked at the vets just to be on the safe side, cats dont always act ill if there's something wrong with them.  I know even neutered cats can still have their old instincts, some still spray and my friend has a cat that tries to mate with her girl cats, he was neutered as a young kitten...  it isn't pleasant for them!!

If you ask on this forum:  http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ they might be able to help, it's a brilliant place to go for advice!

I hope he's fine and just becoming a talker!  Let me know!

My Emmy cat is like that, she makes a huge mess of the kitchen when I let her play with the tap but hey it makes her happy :P.

They act like they don't even see he's jacket!! And it says "Do not pet!!"  bear_wacko
If you look at my pictures on Facebook Gemma you will see pictures of Herbie with his jacket on. He doesn't go out in public without it. You would be surprised at how many people come up to him and say "Oh can I pet him?" as they are petting him!! And kids for the most part don't asked they just run up. When a child comes to me and asks if they can pet him I always thank them for asking first. Most of the time their parents are pleased that their child was polite and asked.:)
However one time a child asked and I told her no and explain to her why and thanked her for asking. She went back to her mothers shopping cart and I heard her mother asking her why she couldn't pet Herbie. The mother went and got the store manager and reported me to him for not letting her daughter pet my dog. The manger came and told me about it and was beside himself that she thought he should force me into letting her daughter pet my dog or I should be asked to leave the store!! :(

I was brought up never to pet unknown dogs but these days I get loads of kids running up to stroke Poppy.  Often their parents are with them and I have to tell them that she's in training and can't be fussed - How do these people know that my dog won't bite them?  Poppy does have behaviour issues and has a personal trainer (lol) and I'd rather kids didn't jump all over her!  Plus the parents should be protecting their kids!

My friend (another cat fosterer) had swine flu and all her animals - cats, bunnies, chickens and ducks were ok but knowing Cara, I'm pretty sure she was careful around them.  It is worrying because my furries are my kids and I'd hate to see them get ill because of me but I'm not going to stress about it unless I actually get the flu - if I do I'm pretty sure I'll be making my other half do all the chores with the animals anyway!  Hehe, if flu wasn't so horrible, it'd be a chance for a break from cleaning litter trays!!

Cyndee, if you have a working dog coat on Herbie, won't people be more likely to leave him alone or do they ignore it?

Gemma82

He's great!  I also want to see a cat one!!!

Gemma82

She's doing great, she's turning into a right little madam and I think she may go for the top cat position when she gets older!  This is not a cat who wants you to feel sorry for her!!  Now, my two overweight ones would like sympathy because they're on diets!

Gemma82

I thought it was clever and it gave me a giggle!

Gemma82

Congratulations, he's brilliant!

Gemma82

Absolutely love him, he's so cute!!

Gemma82

Aww bless him, he couldn't have found a better home!  It won't be long until he's attacking your feet like mine is doing right now!

Gemma82

That is definitely fate, they look like they will be very happy together! bear_flower

Gemma82

I'm so sorry for your loss but wow 26 years old is amazing, he/she was only a year younger than me!  I bet they had a great life with you!

Gemma82

I love her, do you think she could fly over my way?
