It's interesting to read how many different ways there are to medicate
our kitties - and their reactions.  Hobo will take pilling just fine
the first couple of days, then goes into tornado mode.  He's OK with
the liquids.  Speckles takes to pills easier.

Nikki nearly managed to give me a heart attack just now. I was in the

When he got home Tuesday evening Hugo Katt had been hurt, I don't know how.
Since then he has just lain on his side under a big table, playing dead cat.

Most of  you don't know me because I only lurk here, but I would like to ask
for some purrs for my father.
My mom came home a few minutes ago, after having been gone all day and she
told me the following news:

Well, Dennis is gone again for the next 6 weeks.  He left on Thursday
afternoon.  Seems like his 6 weeks off go by way faster than his 6 weeks
working...
Vino already misses him and Dennis misses Vino.  This new work schedule is

The hoomins disappeared for all of Saturday, only to reappear in the wee hours

- Nathan on a track skills session in the morning, and watching a track meet in
the evening (2 world champs on track plus ...

When I was in Brussels, I saw a number of beautifully detailed
statuettes of cats playing musical instruments.  Unfortunately the
cheapest I saw cost about $150, which was considerably more than I could
afford!  When I was at my hairdressers a few months ago, his manicurist
