What are biscuits and gravy?

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43915) • Cambridge, England 11 Nov 06

Americans seem to rave about them but here in the UK 'biscuits' are what you call cookies and gravy is brown stuff that is generally served with meat or sausages (properly it should be made with just the juices from the roast...

Kosmos Hi owlwings I understand from doing lots of reading that American "biscuits" are basically scones or very close to scone dough. and of course our crisp biscuits are cookies. Have never worked out why but that's what I have seen and been told. Can't...

Cat's Tail Vibrates

danjenkins @danjenkins (646) • United States 27 Jan 07

Do you know what causes a cat's tail to vibrate? My cat, Puff, used to vibrate his tail, so we looked up the meaning .. it's interesting. Does your cat's face get a "scrunchy face" when you stroke it under the chin?

Kosmos My desexed female does the tail vibrating thing, often when purring about my ankles, or when she wants special attention , like she's saying to me "Mummy, MUMMY I need to talk to you now ! !" The whole tail quivers from base to tip and is bolt upright when...

How did your cat get it's name?

dmillman @dmillman (2273) • United States 27 Jan 07

I've had some strange names for cats and I was curious as to what others named their cats, and how they came up with the names. Right now, my cat Lucky was named because my husband saved her life - so she's lucky to be alive....

Kosmos My three cats are named, in order of them arriving at my house. Taffeta, Satin and Heavenly. Taffeta was a baby kitty I adopted and her fur was so soft and silky. Satin came next as a rescue kitten so named her after a fabric like Taffeta was. She is so...

Kosmos I would certainly recommend getting a good cooking book or encyclopaedia of cooking to help you learn the base recipes and how to prepare food, as well as to learn the 'hard' recipes. Jamie Oliver has some good cook books out depending on what style of...

Indoor Cats VS Outdoor Cats

mergl81 @mergl81 (195) • United States 25 Jan 07

What do you think is better? What are the differences in taking care of each kind of cat? When me and my husband decide to get a cat should we make it an indoor cat only?

6 responses

Kosmos I have 3 indoor only cats. I think it is the only sensible way to keep a cat. Apart from the usual dangers of letting a cat outside, such as car accidents, mauling by other animals, and getting infected bites from cat fights it also helps to preserve the...
