Wonder of wonders, I've actually caught up and have no unread
messages. Actually, that's not totally true, but I WAS caught up when
I logged off last night, and I haven't downloaded yet today.

As far as the kitties go, everyone seems to be doing fine. I guess
Sammy's appoirtment for her quarterly ECG caught her urinary tract
infection just as it was developing. I really don't see any
improvement with the atibiotic, but then she wasn't acting sick
before. She's actually seems to be looking forward to her meds now
that I've beed putting them in a little tuna. Still doesn't lick up
the amoxicillin alone, but once a silver of tuna is added she licks
the plate clean.

LB, well LB is LB. Still on the fluffy side, even though I've taken to
restricting her food. I used to have food out all day for them to free
feed, but now put down food on the floor when it's meal time, and also
some up on the counter for Sammy to graze on during the day. That way
Sammy, who on the lean side, can eat as she's accustomed, while LB is
on her diet. I'm starting to wonder if maybe LB hops up on the counter
to eat when I'm not around, even though I've never, EVER, seen her up
there. Maybe I'll start putting Sammy dry food up on top of the
fridge, since I don't think LB can get up there, while I know Sam can
since she regualarly perches up there to supervise hoomin activity in
the kitchen.

Spotty, the little neighborhood cat who I wrote about, is still a
regualr visitor at the outdoor kitty food bowl. I still don't know
where Spotty lives, only that when she comes to visit she comes from
the north side of the street. I've tried the old trick of putting a
collar on her with a note to call if this is your cat, but no calls,
and the collar was off the next time I saw her. I don't know if she
slipped it off, or someone took it off and ignored the call request.

I'm sure she had her babies. She has gotten a lot less skittish with
me. She lets me pet her a little now. she'll come over and rub against
my legs as I'm putting out food, and I reach down and sneak a few
pets. She enjoys it for a little while, than suddenly remembers she's
not supposed to and slinks away. She sometimes does the rollies so I
can see that she's nursing. I still haven't seen the babies yet,
though. Oh well, like I think I posted once before, since she has them
across the street it's probably better that they don't visit until
they're old enough to be properly scared of traffic.

Well, I've run out of time and have to get ready for another hard
night of pizza delivery ;-)
