I have had major issues with my newserver and unable to read the group (I
refuse to read it through Google News).  I just wanted to say hello!!  I
hope everyone and their kitties are doing well.  For those of you who have
sick cats, I hope they get well very soon, and for those of you who have
lost cats, you have my deepest sympathies.

Levi just turned 1 year old.  I cannot believe it!  He is still suckling on
my lip and being his sweet, playful kitteny self.  He has become quite the
moth/fly/other insect hunter and now I don't get so tweaked when the kids
let them in through the back door!  Levi also loves the puppy (who is 4
months today and over 30 lbs).  Hendrix likes to clean out the cats' ears
and they let him, even though the big dope steps on both cats sometimes.

Rudy will be 4 at the end of this month.  I cannot fathom that it has
almost been 4 years since we found this boy as a 4 month old feral wildman,
and what a domestic lush he is now.  He's sleeping in my pj drawer at this
very moment, and he has stopped trying to get outside (finally!).  He
slipped out unnoticed one night last week and spent the entire night
outside.  When I found him in the morning, he practically lept into my
arms.  The back door weather stripping and wood were SHREDDED from him
trying to get back in.  I can't believe neither dog barked.  My poor baby.  
Thankfully he wasn't hurt or lost and we don't have to worry about that
anymore.  At least for a while.

Hopefully my stupid newserver will stop being so unreliable for a while and
I can catch up with y'all!
