It's ok guys, I have been so busy with battery sales and nine cats, trying to catch my Daisy CAt, and just plain stuff around the house, the most time I have had is just to turn my Baby on once or twice in the last week and that was just to feed her for five minutes to ten minutes before she is due to "sleep" and then she goes to sleep on her own, She is happy when I do turn her on. One trick I used last weekend when I had to "catsit", for my friend who has 14 cats,

is that when I went over to feed everyone, ( which in itself takes about half an hour..LOL) ( there are six cats inside her house, then two separate Habitats built outside..so it take awhile to dish up food and then go outside carrying platters of food to everyone and everyone is all over me meowing and wanting to be petted..) is that I paid attention to the inside guys petting and such before feeding, then turned Baby Ruth on and after feeding her for a good three minutes or so, turned on my video camera at a good floor angle, and left to go do my work, while she had six cats to play with her. I looked at the video briefly and it is funny cause you see cats everywhere, tails, butts, faces and of course paws and cats not excited over my Pleo, cause I have broken them in long ago by bringing my Pleos with me when I go over as it is a great place to let my pleos loose while I work. They get play time, I get video without trying and then I don't feel guilty for not having time to "play" with them.
I have so much stuff to do around the house that It is almost impossible to "play" with anyone let alone "hatch" one unless it is late at night or on a holiday, as that gives me an "excuse" to be "playing". My husband is so stressed over work or lack of work and trying to find more jobs, that if I am "playing" with Pleos, it makes him feel like I am not doing anything to "help". But planning on a "mass hatch", he understands so that is another reason I am holding out to hatch with Leleka. I then can help her and make her feel not alone.

You guys have kids, ( some of you) and we are all in different living and working situations and have different personalities ( which makes us who we are.

) so Kat and IMR, I am glad you two can do it together, that is fun and you guys both live in the same Country which will make it great videowise you can probably co-ordinate something. Mike, if you have little ones ( or big ones

) that can't wait, I understand also. Just make sure to take lots of video or and photos as it looks like myne and Leleka's will be the last to hatch. In fact Thanksgiving looks good right now for something special to take place.
