Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2007Hazle Az stuff
I have missed you guys dreadfully. A few people got ahold of my work e-mail address and have kept me posted of many of the happenings on the group. Even though I haven't posted I have thought of all of you and sent purrs and prayers for everyone. We lost Paint Job last year. She was the one that loved the string toss. I just couldn't keep her in the house and she had to own the whole neighborhood. We also couldn't keep a collar on her so the local feral pets organization spayed her 3 times. You would think they'd notice the scars and the clipped ear, but noooo..... Then one day she didn't come back. We looked for her and put up posters and checked at the pound and the humane society but no luck. So she is awol. However I do still have my other fur turkeys. Shinobu will be 21 in March. Dorrie will be 18 in March. Lucy Fur was just 9 last October and Spooky (you remember when I got him?) was 6 lastAugust. I know, I can't believe it either. I have the same job I got 3 1/2 years ago and have gotten a couple of promotions. I bought a house 18 months ago. Alex is 18 now and is working part time for a friend of mine while he finishes school. The ex still crops up from time to time to irritate me, but disappeared last September when I got an order of protection. There are a couple of guys I'm seeing now and one has the potential of being something serious. I spend my time working on the house (it needed work when I bought it) and working at work. I'm planning some major rennovation this winter and spring. Needless to say, I'm still in Phoenix and thrilled to bits to be able to get back on line again. How are you all doing? >I have missed you guys dreadfully. A few people got ahold of my work e-mail >address and have kept me posted of many of the happenings on the group. [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > >How are you all doing? Hazel!!!! It's good to hear from you. I've wondered several times how you were. Sounds like things are going well and we are very glad to hear it! We are all still here. Eric and I finally got engaged this summer. We'll probably just go downtown to the JP sometime when the urge strikes us. I'm too damn old for the stress and expense of a wedding! But I wanted that ring and boy, did I get one!!! All three kitties are still here. Tiger is 18 and in failing health. Her kidneys are deteriorating and she has some arthritis in her hind legs. We're treating the CRF as well as the arthritis, even though the arthritis meds don't help her kidneys any. We could probably prolong her life if we didn't treat the arthritis, but she would be in pain and we don't want that. So we'll just do the best we can... She seems happy enough though. Eating, bitching when there isn't a warm lap available, etc....<grin>. Casper (around 9 we think) is still the 'fraidy cat and Lucy's (12) allergies have improved markedly since we moved into our house (hard wood floors, no carpeting). In fact, my allergies have improved as well. Anyhow, we're all fine and are very glad you are, too! --Eric, Kim and the Chigger Ranch Crew It's so good to hear how you are doing. It's sounds like things are going really for you. I hope you had a wonderful christmas season. I hope we'll here from you now.. I missed you. purrs, fuga I have thought about you a lot lately. When you have time, update me on what's been going on with you. Hazle Az > It's so good to hear how you are doing. It's sounds like things are > going really for you.

Hazle Az > Needless to say, I'm still in Phoenix and thrilled to bits to be able to > get back on line again. Thanks for the update, Hazel. It's lovely to see your name again.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. Stories and pics at http://koti.welho.com/mkurten/ Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki Hi Hazel: I'm sorry about Paint Job and so pleased to hear that Shinobu, Dorrie, Lucy Fur, and Spooky are with you and doing well. 21 is pretty impressive! ... and Alex is all grown up! Since you've been on hiatus, we've lost Otis 3 times - once after we moved (gone 4 days), another time when he broke out of a cattery (gone 12 days), and another when he jumped into a neighbour's basement after a flood and couldn't get back out the basement window (2 days). He's still marvelously ornery and affectionate and will be 11 this January. Chester is still mellow and sweet and gentlemanly. I am expecting again in 6 weeks - my kids will be almost 9 and 6 1/2 when this one arrives. So glad to have you back and hope you plan to stick around for a while! Take care, Susan M Otis and Chester >I have missed you guys dreadfully.

I still think of him as in Jr High school. Amazing how they grow up so fast. Sorry to read about Paint Job being AWOL, though nice to read that you still are owned by Shinobu, Dorri, Lucy Fur, and Spooky. I'm not surprised by the ex. Still think of him when cleaning litter boxes. He still deserves a really stinky present from the masters. Am glad that you have your life back, even though it's not the same as before. Also glad to read about your promotions both personal and professional. Hope that all continues to work out for you, Alex, and your owners. Congrats on the house. I'm just learning what a pain it is to upkeep them at times. Pam S. > OMG, Alex is 18? I still think of him as in Jr High school. Amazing how > they grow up so fast. Amazing isn't it? He's reading over my shoulder and laughing. I think he forgot how well you all knew him. Sorry to read about Paint Job being AWOL, though nice > to read that you still are owned by Shinobu, Dorri, Lucy Fur, and Spooky. Yup a bunch of old kitties with the hearts of hoolikittens. > I'm not surprised by the ex. Still think of him when cleaning litter > boxes. He still deserves a really stinky present from the masters. What's so pathetic is that he has so totally burned his brain up from the drugs that he'll never be the same person again. He doesn't understand it when he can't land the jobs he used to be able to do. He's living in a half-way house or is homeless--I'm not sure which--and somehow he thinks it's all someone else's fault. It's hard to see that happen to someone you once loved. But I forgot about the litter box gifts. LOL. Thanks for the reminder. > Am glad that you have your life back, even though it's not the same as > before. Thank you. I am too. It's not the same, but rewarding all the same.

Hazle Az > Pam S. > Needless to say, I'm still in Phoenix and thrilled to bits to be able to > get back on line again. Where in Phoenix? I just moved to Phoenix from Los Angeles, and don't know anybody here, yet. Also having trouble finding my way around - Greater L. A. may have a larger population, but I think Phoenix probably covers a lot more ground! (I live near 7th Street and Bell Road.) I'm at 35th ave and Deer Valley--just down the 101. E-mail me and maybe we can hook up. Phoenix is a very easy city to navigate once you know the pattern.

My goodness time flies! Don't know when you last heard from us, but we're still here. You may not know, but I think you do, that Joel & I got married in 2003 and had our Yowlet in 2004. Said Yowlet is now 2 years, 8 months old, and running us thoroughly ragged, although of course he is also a sheer delight when he's not driving us nuts. Fluffy is still a dog with very little brains.

Oh and BTW I've become a major Terry Pratchett fan. I think I have all of his books now. Or nearly all. I think it's the fault of this newsgroup.

First of all: good to see you again:-))) I'm glad, life is on your side again and everything goes smooth and well for you, Alex and the cats. For my birthday on 23.12. I got a book from Terry Pratchett: Thud! I'm a major Terry Pratchett fan as well and the only books I'm missing is 'Heroes' and 'Wintersmith', but I'm sure, there will be more birthdays for me...:-) Live over here is running smooth and peaceful as usual. Tientje and She are about 13 years old now, Chiara is 9 and the rest of the persians is 5. Volker and I will be happily married in August for 29 years. Also next year we will celebrate our 50th birthdays:-)) Time is flying...:-)) Purrs to Alex, you and the cats from Inge & Volker and the catgang Have a look at: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge/katzen.jpg :-) SignatureCatManiacs World: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge Sounds like your life has gotten back together. Sorry about Paint Job. Did I have Spicey when you used to post here? Suz&Spicey You did. She was a wee little kitty when I was here last. How is the little lady these days? Hazle Az > Sounds like your life has gotten back together. Sorry about Paint Job. Did > I have Spicey when you used to post here? > > Suz&Spicey Hi Pam! So good to have you back here, I have often wondered about you. I'm glad to hear you're doing well and am looking forward to hearing more about your life. I have mostly been lurking lately, been really busy. Dennis and Vino and I have been living in Australia for 9 months already. The move went really smoothly but Vino got stressed in his 1 month of quarantine and came down with a blockage and was at the vet for 5 days. But he is all better now and loving the fully fenced back yard. I have been working at a winery, it's super convenient because I work 3 days a week when Dennis is home and 5 days a week when he's gone. We are about to start building our house, looks like we may break ground in late January, keeping fingers x'ed to get it all done before next xmas.

Hey, I have missed your style of posting and all the fun we used to have. Of course RL has changed all of us over the years.But the community spirit keeps us together. Shinobu is a Grande Dame! And Dorrie not far behind. That is so sad about Paint Job. I still love the name Lucy Fur. I once had a cat named Lucifer--for good reason! LOL! I still think of Spooky as a kitten. My, how kids grow up--especially Alex. Update here: Shebais 15 1/2, and diabetic; Djoser is 15 and would rather snuggle in a blanket than go outside; That rascal, my beloved Amber, passed away of a massive e-coli infection 2 years ago. But a year before that, Robin, the Lovebug, showed up, just neutered, as a leggy teenage Russian Blue mix. He is now 4 and bigger than all the other cats, and is the boss. And still a lovebug. I am now retired and on Disability, and diabetic. Sheba now shares my insulin and needles that the insurance pays for. Sh! Don't tell! I gotta save a few bucks somehow. ;-) Right now we are still buried in tons of snow drifts and expecting another blizzard tomorrow night. GAH! We just got the car dug out today! But this time we are going to park it on the road. That's an update in a nutshell. I didn't know what you knew or didn't. It is so good to have you back. -- CATherine Hey Hazle! Has it really been 4 years since you came to visit the East Coast? Good to hear you are back on your feet after that rough patch, and that your clan is doing well. Lessee, I've finished law school and passed the Bar. I think you know I had a daughter back in '03, had a second one this past April. Pippin and Mithu are still around. We sent Yogi (Spooky's contemporary) up to my in-laws in New Jersey about 2 years ago, where he has grown to the size of a small horse, they say, has come out of his shell (he used to hide under the covers all day at the sound of the doorbell), and has them doing his bidding.

OK, now I have more time for a proper update. I don't know if you knew this (I seem to remember you popping in at the end of last year), but I had to send both Frank and Nikki on their last journeys in 2005. Nikki was almost 17, and Frank had just turned 18 when I had to say goodbye to them respectively. Well, before that, I had already acquired a kitten, a Russian Blue girl whom I named Miranda. After Nikki died, I had to get Miranda a young playmate, so that she would leave poor old Frank alone, and I got a boykitten from a group that rescues cats in Estonia. He is a brown tabby and white, and his name is Caliban. I think I've moved a couple of times since you were last here. Now I live in a flat with a small attached garden or patio, and I had an enclosure built there for the cats. Time does fly. Spooky 6 years old already? My my. And Alex a grown man (almost). Glad to hear you are all getting back on your feet. And so glad to hear Shinobu is still going strong. What an impressive age! SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

And so glad > to hear Shinobu is still going strong. What an impressive age! Somedays I think Shinobu looks her age and other days she doesn't. Kind of like the rest of us, no? Actually Alex is arguing with me on Spooky's age. He thinks Spooky is 7. Now I can't remember and will probably have to call the vet and ask her when we first brought him in. He's huge--I think he weighs 18 lbs. and loves to be spanked. He is also crazy about pork rinds and junk food. We keep him away from the junk food because it gets him sick. I'm glad to see you and Lena are still around. Hazel Az by "Hazel Az" <hazleaz@earthlink.net> Dec 30, 2006 at 01:10 AM Somedays I think Shinobu looks her age and other days she doesn't.

I do not have any new cat. I am catsitting a black called Nisse right now. I have really missed you very, very much Hazel. I hope you will stay with us now.

Thank you for looking up that old post and I am so relieved that Spooky isn't as old as I thought. Time is slipping away so quickly it is nice to know it's not moving THAT fast. So Spooky is 5. He did so admire his uncle Hugo and was very sad when uncle Hugo went to the Bridge. I'm like a bad penny, I keep turning up. Hopefully I will be able stick around for a long time. Hazel Az Glad you are back and that life is calmer. Life pretty much the same here. My barekitten recently reached adulthood, celebrating his 18th birthday in October. Still ruled by three felines, Waffles, Francis & Marble, now all senior cats. Speaking of whom, Waffles has just brought in a nice fat vole from the garden (dead, so it's been sacrificed at the altar of Bast...). The barekitten is studying for exams with a view to going to university to do a degree in environmental sciences, specialising, he hopes, with a lot of tectonics, volcanoes & climate change stuff. He's also done well in his cycling in his final year as a junior, setting a new junior club record, winning various events, setting new personal best times and coming second in a national series of events. As a result of this final one, he gets an award at Champions' Night in January. Vernon is still the same, but has recently changed company (a good thing). I'm stil me, still overweight, still here but off the bike for a while as I've got an achilles tendon problem that just doesn't go away. Bah! > Glad you are back and that life is calmer.
