What's considered flab?

scribe1 @scribe1 (1203) • United States 13 Jun 08

Would you consider a drooping belly close to the hind legs as a flabby belly on a cat --- or does that seem like a sign of aging? My two girls are flabby there and I was just wondering.

PurpleParker Hello, My children's favorite as well as mine is the small shells. I can try a new recipe and if it has shell pasta, the kids will eat it. I made tuna casserole for lunch today..and as long as the small shells are in it..it will be gone.

PurpleParker It takes a special person to be able to love a child, feel the void in their life, give them what they need and then send them back out into the big bad world and hope they survive. Kids always want to be with their parents..no matter what happened to them....

Would you ever think about becoming a foster parent?

dhicks30 @dhicks30 (1948) • United States 7 Dec 06

Why or why not? And what ages would you be interested in? I have been thing about it. I'm not sure if I should or not. I think if I did do it the ages I would be taking in would be 3-6 years of age around my daughter age.

Please tell about your experiences. We were a foster family for 3 years, and it was an experience full of both joy and frustration. I'm wondering if others have felt the same.
