Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004best wishes
Hi All, I don't get to post nearly as much as I'd like (RL is a b*tch that way!) and didn't get my act together to join in with the card exchange, so I am taking this opportunity to wish everyone on this remarkable group a very happy festive season, regardless of religious (or non-religious) persuasion. I try to read the group every day and send silent purrs to those who need them and ooohs over cute Roscoe and Nico pics and ahhs over sprightly Francis antics, Nina and Cesca frolics, and mentally boop the Hube, as well as all the others (whose names I've forgotten). I was most impressed by 'Nipped and 'Napped's house! It is 40C (well over 100F) here today and, if this is an indication of the summer to come, we'll be eating an all-cold-food-feast on Christmas day! Last Christmas, our first in Sydney and our first in this house, it was almost 100F, so DH and I went for a swim in our dam. This year we haven't had enough rain and our dam is an unpleasant shade of duckpoo (the wild ducks love our dam), so we won't be swimming again until after we've had a lot of rain to flush it out (I call it the salmonella swamp right now). OBcats: Ted, with the wisdom of her 18 years, copes with the heat by finding a shady spot and not moving around. The kittens (at 2 years old) have less experience and still insist on zooming around, then flaking out in unlikely poses. Spocky loves to lie on his back with his legs to the compass points. Persephone is, frankly, too fat to do this with any comfort, so she lies on her side and streeeeetches out as far as she can. There are some up-to-date pics of the gang at http://photos.yahoo.com/~tsilberb in the cats and dogs folders. Hugs to all and season's bleatings - I'm in Australia, after all :^) Tish > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Tish Awww the kids are looking really good! Boy, Spock has the most unusual coloring!! Good hearing from you :) Thanks to y'all ("youse" in Australian) for your kind messages. Persephone's head is swollen now :^) I never thought of Spocky having an unusual coat pattern until Yowie visited and commented on it. I think his coat is cool because it is two-coloured - the external tip of each hair is dark and the internal shaft of the hair (the bit that doesn't get exposed to extremes of temperature) is buff / beige. I've never seen that on a moggie before - my two-tone kit. I'm kinda envious hearing about all the snow in the northern hemisphere - I would love to experience real snow one day! They are forecasting a maximum temperature of 42C (107F) for Sydney tomorrow, with wind as an added bonus. yuk! And my building doesn't have air conditioning (or heating, for that matter, but that's not such a problem). Tish > Thanks to y'all ("youse" in Australian) for your kind messages. > Persephone's head is swollen now :^) [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Tish You have my sympathy. That is a nasty lot of heat, especially with no air conditioning! I hope at least it's a dry heat. BTW, I'll be in Sydney for a couple of days next April. Maybe we can touch base while I'm there. Joy Hi Joy, I certainly hope that we can meet up while you're in Sydney. My email address is tsilberb at bio.mq.edu.au, if you would like to contact me closer to the date to make arrangements.

Jean? Any others? We could meet somewhere reasonably central, or I'm happy to volunteer my place in the boondocks (Campbelltown) if folks are willing to travel. It would have to be a weekend, though, because of work committments. Whaddya think? Tish > Joy has said that she'll be visiting Sydney in April, so might we use > her arrival as a trigger for a Sydney RPCA get-together - Yowie? Jean? [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Tish Wow! I'd love that! I'll be there on weekdays the first time, but I'm flying back into Sydney on Saturday, April 30 and will spend the night there before flying home. So that Saturday evening would be perfect from my POV. If that doesn't work out, I hope you'll go ahead and do it anyway. Meets are a lot of fun! Joy Joy Hi Joy, There has not been much of a response (well, none to be accurate), but you and I can certainly meet up. My house is quite convenient to the airport rail line, so I'm sure we'll figure out something fun. Spocky is quite the tart with visitors :^) Tish >> Joy has said that she'll be visiting Sydney in April, so might we use >> her arrival as a trigger for a Sydney RPCA get-together - Yowie? Jean?

No doubt the Yowlet will be in tow, and Joel may or may not be there as well, depending on how the mood strikes him on the day. Yowie > Hi Joy, > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > > >Joy Saturday *afternoon* would be OK, but don't want to do late evenings (specially if anyone wants to meet the Yowlet, he's in bed by 7:30pm) What I can do, however, is host a meet-up at my place (happy to transport people from the trainstation), or relocate said meet-up from Sydney to Wollongong. Yowie > Hi Joy, > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > > >Joy I can understand why you don't want late evenings, especially with the Yowlet, whom I'd love to meet. My flight doesn't get into Sydney until 2:50 PM, and I'm not sure how much longer it would take me to get to a meeting place. However, as I've said before, I'd love to meet all of you - and see you again, Yowie - but if that doesn't work out, I hope you have the meet anyway, because they're so much fun.

The pics are lovely. Spock and Persephone look so sleek and happy, and Ted seems to have the same hobby as Frank. I suppose they're entitled, at their ages.
