Roxy stole my chair!
I guess that means it's time to log off...

Two days of "bark bark bark bark bark!!!" I finally broke down and took
Mutt outside to meet the builders. She made friends with one, sniffed
the others.
What's my luck she won't bark anymore at 6am?

Well, I have gone out and met with 4 clients who have signed on.  Meeting
with the pet owners and meeting the kitty cats has been great fun.  I've
really enjoyed meeting all the cats.  So far I have met 11 cats and only one
was shy.. I am quite surprised as I thought more would be ...

Well, I seem to have Senyah's acceptance of Buster now. At least she
isn't complaining that Buster stays inside all the time.
Now I just have to work on Buster a little bit.
Apparently, he is used to being an outside cat, and wants out from

Have come significantly late for the date I was projecting. I'm sending
out Solstice cards but I never found any I truly liked.... sooooooooo
everyone is getting homemade cards. It's taking me a bit longer than I
planned to send them out but it's kinda hard with a curious toddler ...

Sad to report that the doctors say there's nothing they can do for Emma's
heart.  All that can be done now is to keep her comfortable - hopefully,

A few months ago, Mojo (a large, neutered tom about 8 years old)
disappeared, just didn't come in one morning. Of course I did all the things

flyers, checked with local vets & the pound, but nothing, not a ...

For the last week Waffles has been *exceedingly* affectionate. She's a limpit
on me, purring a lot and at night, she is glued to my side (cold weather) - but
it is noticeable how much more affectionate she is than her normal self. She
seems well in herself, but I can't help ...

I didn't get around to putting my name on the card list this year for
various reasons, so would just like to take this opportunity to wish you
all the best for the forthcoming season, whatever you're all doing.
Carrie and Jasper send their best purrs to everyone, furry or not, ...

I wondered what Quinn would do when he hit town after spending 7
glorious months in the woods;  after all he grew up feral here and Tampa
is his old turf.  Sure enough, he disappeared the first night for a

Thank you for the bookmark that you enclosed in your Christmas card.
Those are very good pictures of each of you, and I'll think of all of
you every time that I use it.

Remember that I have a cat
and upon your box he has sat

In times of need, one finds out who their true friends are.  I've found that
we have true friends all over the globe in RPCA.  Your purrs, prayers, and
posts of support have really helped my family and Dianne's family.  I'll
print out each and every one to share with Dianne's family ...

Do you talk to your cat? By this, I don't mean calling the cat or
being purry and smoochy (we all do that). What I mean is telling your
cat things like you'd speak to a person.
For example, when I feed my cat and he (like many cats) temporarily
