Yes, this is really something!!

5. Just saw a shooting star.

Cool site.

[Windy]

6. I've been alt tabbing for awhile...I've seen a few shooting stars...

[Rex]

9. Are those shooting stars or insects flying by? n/t

[Windy]

10. I've seen insects flying by too

big bugs in Africa!

11. Some of them seem to be doing loops

so I'd say insects.

7. It sounds like a lion is eating the microphone...

or is something wrong with my sound?

[Windy]

12. A big male lion walked out of view just about 10 minutes ago

I think there is a female lion lying on the ground to the left side of the screen above the pond.

[Hun Joro]

13. Yeah, I saw him.

Since then there's been a lot of loud noises.

[Windy]

14. Maybe he's lying by the webcam panting

thats almost what it sounds like

[Hun Joro]

16. Must be. I wish we could pan the camera around!

[Emit]

15. All I hear are insects -- crickets and such - kind of ear piercing, actually

earlier, I thought I heard the grumble of the big male when he was present.

[Emit]

17. Here kitty, kitty, kitty!!... n/t

[Windy]

18. the female got up, streched, looked around then

literally flopped back down...

[Windy]

19. Something sounded like an elephant

too cool

[Emit]

20. I saw that -- that was me calling her over when she got up!

;)

(It's just habit around here with my two kittens...)

She did literally flop, too, huh?

[Windy]

21. too cute..I have three cats.... they do act alike

in many respects... big or small cats! :o)

[Emit]

22. We had three -- until the day before Thanksgiving

when my precious Gracie decided to slip out when company came in and we haven't seen her since, sadly, despite our everyday searches (hate to say, but we do have coyotes and raccoons in the area behind our house). She was adoptive MaMa cat to my two kittens -- they miss her, too, me thinks.

Anyway, it is amazing how these little guys act like the wild big cats. One of my kittens was very sick when we adopted her, unbeknownst to us at the time. She came down with an upper respiratory infection that almost took her life, and it seems to have stunted her growth, and she's awkward in her gate. But, she attacks my kids' little stuffed animals and drags them around just like the big cats I've seen on nature programs doing to the zebras! She's hysterical! We call her Killer for short, although she is named Pepper because she has spots -- she's a spotted Tabby. She's the hunter. Her brother, Cay, short for Cayenne, a long-haired orange tabby -- he's the lazy one.

There they are! Drinking at the watering hole! Cool.

[Windy]

24. We have similar kitty histories

Actually, my youngest cat Jack had a respiratory infection when we got him and his growth has also been stunted, but he is a little hellion! As for your missing cat, don't give up. Our oldest cat got out on easter a few years ago...after several weeks of searching we gave up..all the sudden one night our other cats were going nuts. My son looked outside and saw Champ running up the driveway and onto the porch...He found his way home eventually!
