I use endomondo, it seems pretty accurate. A friend uses runkeeper (not just for runs).<br /><br />Cats! Yup, they do that.

One day recently hubby was calling our little rascals to feed them and I looked out and saw that both of them were standing right behind him. I tapped on the window and pointed down to let him know and when he turned around, he almost tripped over one of them!<br />I stopped feeding birds near the house because of our cats. Their feral mom taught them to be very good hunters! Our indoor cat liked watching the birds through the window and I do miss watching them also.

Hubby got one at a large sporting goods store - cost close to $20. Thing was a piece of junk, it kept falling off. Never got another one......<br /><br />As for Smitty being missing - I can relate. Our cat (who is no longer with us) was missing for three days. I would of course do all the things you did to try to entice her back. On day three, for some reason I woke up about 3am. It was raining out and I just thought I should check again for Sadie. Sure enough - there she was sitting outside the front door! She obviously hadn't eat anything those three days she was missing - she was noticeably thinner. Boy was I thankful that something woke me up that night! <br /><br />Love the embroidery stuff you talked about at the end of your post - just my style.<br /><br />Have a good Sunday. Major storm on it's way here. Four-eight inches of snow due. Of course it comes when the hub is going out of town (lucky him, going to Orlando tonight on business). Oh well, it can't last long since it's almost the middle of February!<br /><br />MegMeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654846568925871811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-583776374878664512013-02-10T04:06:13.107-08:002013-02-10T04:06:13.107-08:00Cheeky cat!
