Purrs on the way, Gracie. It's going to be a tough Christmas for you and
Jody and Abi and we'll be thinking of you all.

Purrs and birdy chirps.  The request was rather inconsiderate and I for one
wish dirty litter box offerings and birdy crap on the requestor(s).

Jill

I fully understand. Half a dozen kids? Holy crap, I'd have my hands full
with just ONE. Which is why I don't want any kids, only kitties; they're
more cuddly and a hell of a lot less expensive. }:)

Purrs to you and your family Grace.

Lois

Lots of purrs coming over, and a few hugs for you all for good measure.
Christmas will be long and difficult this year. {{{Gracie, Jody and
Abi}}} Hang in there!

Gah!  Thanks for this post.  It makes me really appreciate my family =P

Purrs.

Some people couldn't buy a clue if you gave them a quarter!!

{{{{{{{{{{Grace}}}}}}}}}}  Hang in there - I know Christmas is going to be
hard for you and Jody and Abi this year.  We're here for you, so if you want
to, rant away!

Hugs,

CatNipped

Understandable.  Purrs your way for getting through this holiday
season.

Just another example of people engaging their mouth without engaging
their brains.  Ignore them, if you can.

Double gah. Good for Jody for saying "no." Don't dare feel guilty. Maybe we
should devote a holiday-family-rant thread. I bet we could all contribute.

Sherry

Lots of hugs and purrs for you and your family, Grace, we are here for you,

What were these people thinking??! Good for Jody.

Hugs and purrs for all of you during this very difficult season!

Joyce

Why those insensitive (*&%!@!!!

Many purrs to you, Jody and Abi over hte holidays. We'll be thinking of you.

Yowie

Purrs and hugs Gracie.  I don't know what they were thinking.  Wait a
minute...they weren't thinking.  Purrs and hugs for you to have a
peaceful and joyous season.  We all love and miss you.

Pam, Rob, and the Fayetteville Six + Calvin, Mozart and Speedy...the
d-thing.

I thought if I calmed down and came back to this thread I'd have something
positive to contribute.

But I'm still speechless at the type of thought process that would go into
thinking you needed the added stress of hosting Christmas this year.

All I have are hugs and purrs.

TBird

Sending lots of purrs.  And hope you kicked something soft.  Or that you
broken toes heal quickly.

Jo

{{{{{{{{{gracecat and family}}}}}}}}}}}}

purrs and doggie drool on the way for you and your families sanity.

Diane

((((((((((((Grace))))))))))

Rant away of you feel the need, though hopefully this is just a case
of someone opening their mouth without thinking.

I think we all need some at this time of year.  Remember to take care
of yourself and our household of furballs will be purring for you when
you need a little extra boost.

What an incredibly stupid and insensitive suggestion.  Purrs and hugs coming
from England for your sanity.
I have read quite a few threads recently about how awful some of you folks
families seem to be.

Oh, I complain a bit that my two brothers don't keep in touch as often as
I'd like - and like Jill - I could be lying dead (like when I fell down the
stairs) for ages before they would discover me.
In reality they both have young families and are very busy with their jobs.
They take me for granted, I suppose.
*However*  even if we don't show it much, we are all certain that we love
each other and would never hurt one another deliberately.  Thoughtless
things are sometimes said, but that's all they all, thoughtless.
My youngest brother is extremely tactless.  He still doesn't realise the
difference between "when are you going?" and "how long do you plan on
staying?" ;-)
But he came out last night as soon as he was home from work, to my rescue,
when I was stuck up at the supermarket with a flat tyre.  I had intended to
do it myself.  I actually jacked the car up and got the wheel off -
impressive, huh? - but I couldn't get the spare out from underneath although
I tried for half an hour.  It's a Citroen and the spare is in a sort of a
metal cage under the back of the car.
I truly cannot understand how your family would even think about doing bad
things to you.  I'm lucky, I suppose.
So purrs to everyone with a naff family that they all come good and realise
how important family is.
Although I have dear friends too, that are just as important to me, and have
come up trumps for me when my family were sadly lacking for whatever reason.
"Friends are the family that you choose for yourself."

Purrs sent and litterbox offerings for the sugestte's head.

I cannot believe how insensitive some people can be. Purrs that you Jody
and Abi survive the holidays with your sanity intact.

Purrs for you to get through this difficult Christmas Grace.  Kudos to
Jody for having the strenth to say "NO".
