A black cat dropped soundlessly from a high wall, like a spoonful of
treacle, and melted under the gate -

Hi Bev!
I was just thinking about you, thinking that it's been *far* too long
since we last had a "fix" of NZ feline antics stories. How is life
going for you, DH, Bonny, Clyde and FluffySP. And how is Lois and her
crewe?
Last night Spock was trying to convince me that he really is more
Burmese than anything else - climbing onto the top of everything,
shredding anything (and anyone) within reach and chatting to me in his
squeaky voice the whole time. Absolutely hilarious, if a little
destructive. He was obviously having such a wonderful time that I
didn't have the heart to stop him. I've never had a cat quite like
him.

Cheers,
Tish

Hi Tish,

Still here reading "most" posts and sending silent purrs to all who need
them.
On my kitty front I still have Freya (Bonnie and Clydes Mum), her sister
Gigi and Rama (the stud boy) Phoebe has gone to live with an elderly
gentleman who recently lost his wife, he had owned Burmese before and was
looking for an older cat for company, they love each other! I get to visit
her.
Out of Phoebe's last litter I have kept a seal boy (as a future stud) we
have called him Soumra (means brownish in Arabic) he is now 5 months old, we
have trained him to walk on a harness so we can take him outside with us,
from Freya and Gigi's last litter we have kept two girls, now 3 months old,
have called them Kaleen (after a cat I imported from Australia many years
ago, she is now RB, I wanted to keep her name and memory alive) the other
kitty is called Susie, my DH named her for no particular reason, we still
have DH elderly cat Cleo, she must be at least 16 years old.
Between them Freya and Gigi had 11 kittens in their last litters (born Dec
05) most have already left for their forever homes, last one goes on Monday,
so as you can imagine life has been rather hectic keeping up with
cats/kittens.

Thanks for asking after me.

Purrs to all

Lois

Hi Lois,

I can only imagine the chaos! At one time we had five foster-kittens
living with us and that was chaos enough!

Don't s'pose you have a web page with pics of them?? Please? Burmese
are *such* beautiful cats!

Tish

PS. Please can you send some rain westwards to Sydney? We are
beginning to get tetchy with the long dry.

Nice to hear from you, Lois! Sounds like you have found the perfect
medicine against kitten fever. ;o)

Hi Bev! Long time!! I was just saying to Britta that I wondered what
you were up to, and was missing the Bonnie and Clyde, and FluffySP
stories. Are the hoolicats still peeing in your sink, or have they moved
onto to bigger and better pranks?

I also told Britta that I needed to give you a hard time about the fact
that I'm *still* addicted to Bubbels. And here you are, offering more
addictive substances! (But no game that anyone, including yourself, has
offered, has ever come close to Bubbels for its sheer obsess-o-genic
powers.)

Glad to see you back,

Joyce

Isn't that the truth.

Thanks gang. I've been away on a house exchange in New Zealand's South
Island. Before that I was cleaning my messy house in preparation for the
exchange - so though I have had the odd drop-in on the newsgroup I haven't
had time to contribute.

Bonnie is still peeing in the sink when she gets the chance.
I put the gang in the cattery for the two weeks we were away and the people
staying here wanted to know about the grey and white cat that seemed to live
here!!! You guessed it, DEO!!!!! Deo had a nasty shock when we got
home and he had to go nose to nose with Clyde. It took them days to figure
out who was on top again!

Our trip was fun and I have some great pix. The best are of the tame eels
in a place I grew up in called Golden Bay.
There were two sisters who lived on a farm there and when the oldest of the
pair was 14 she started feeding some eels in the nearby river. The eels
became tame and a great attraction. I can remember, as a kid, watching the
woman wrapping eels around her neck and kissing them!!!
This time it was different, isn't it always when you go back to a place
after many years. The original eel lady had died and her sister took over
and eventually died. Then the place was bought by people who turned it
into quite a sophisticated attraction with heaps of animals etc. They
gave you a little container of meat and a stick and sent you off to the
river to feed the eels.

It was such fun but best of all for me were the opportunistic cats who were
waiting on the bank. They were expert thieves and managed to gobble the
meat off the stick before the eels. They were a couple of tabbies, mum and
daughter, I think. I have pictures of them and the eels. I suppose I
should post them somewhere so that you could see them but expect I won't get
around to it.

It's so good to see you posting again, Bev, I look forward to seeing your
pictures. Maybe you could set up a Webshots album.

Oh, I do hope you find one of those round tuits! Would love to see pics
of that. Nice to hear from you, too, Bev.

Elizabet,

I can't stand it. I lost the bubble site some time ago(think it was
deliberate, a subconscious thing as I know I can google it) and here I am,
at it again, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Just couldn't resist putting my finger on
the link. And Tweed, how could you, I am not going to try this site, I
repeat, I am not going to try this site, I am not aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh, do just have a look Bev, you can just have one go and not play it again
if you don't like it. Instead of bubbels, there are dinosaur eggs in
different colours. You target them just the same as bubbels, but if you are
good you can hatch a baby or two! I love it.
Ah, go on.. just have a little try.

Bubbels has been superseded for me by
http://www.popcap.com/launchpage.php?theGame=dynomite&src=findagame

Its on on-line game so it's best if you have broadband but it *can* be
downloaded to play offline although it's about 3mb. I stayed up very late
last night playing it! It's similar to bubbels but I like it better. It's
so nice when I manage to hatch a baby..
I'm easily pleased.

Tweed
