Everything ok out there, those of you who were participants in
Monday's central California earthquake?
For those who hadn't heard, there was a 6.5 earthquake late Monday
morning in California. The epicenter was located near the coast,

Fenda was put to sleep at home today, she'd been ill for several days, and
there was no hope of recovery. The vet was kind and gentle with her, and she
died quickly and peacefully in the end.
She was sixteen and a half years old, and had lived with us since January

My MIL called me today in near panic, had to take Ebony in again since he
appeared to be blocked again. She also said something about a dog or coyote
chasing him up a tree and him falling out or something, but I think she'd
been hitting the beer and wasn't making much sense. She ...

It's actually only been a couple of days that I haven't had time to
get on the computer for more than a quick check of e-mail, but I seem
to be running far behind on reading and posting and can't catch up!
Please consider yourselves purred.  ;-)

It's gotten a bit cooler here in South Florida lately (into the 40's (F)
outside) and Lynxie's behavior has changed a bit...

Let's just say that he basks under its glow for long periods. It's

Joel thinks its slightly bizarre that I *insist* on tuning into a show - and
a weird show that is playin gon our 'community' channel at that - purely by
the fact that some cat group on the internet has recommended it.
Never the less, I was delighted to discover that "Iron Chef" had ...

Back when I was 15, I lived in a house on the corner with a strip of woods
across the street.  There was a stray cat that would come over to the house.
I'd sit out on the driveway in the evenings and this grey striped tabby (I
called her Baby) would come up and want to be patted and ...

Every night at bedtime it is  time for the B & C and FSP show.
They all know that I catch them and put them in the dining-room-kitchen
for the night.
It goes something like this.   John goes to bed early and I go to bed

For those who observe the Solstices, for whatever reason, hope you had a
good one.
I *was* going to get up at sunrise to welcome teh Summer sun, but its
terribly early inthemorning,a nd I just slept straight through.

Hello to everyone at RPCA.  I'm sorry that I haven't checked in a long time,
but I do occasionally look in to see what's up.
I created a special RPCA Cattitude Wallpaper for group members, using the
same photo that was used for the Cattitude T-Shirts. The wallpaper is in

All you Brits friends, not to mention stateside catslaves: someone I know
just sent me the cutest card from a website I'd never heard of. It costs to
join the woman's business and email her e-cards, but you can "preview" -
sample - quite a few she shows in anticipation of your ...

Neighborhood Hazard (or: Why the Cops Won't Patrol Brice Street)
I never dreamed slowly cruising through a residential neighborhood could
be so incredibly dangerous!
Studies have shown that motorcycling requires more decisions per second,

. . . The ogre who insisted on serving baked gnome for
New Year's? He said there's no taste like gnome for the holidays.

All of a sudden, Roxy is being extremely affectionate today. It started
while I was still in bed - she slept on top of me all night, and whenever
I petted her, she would turn toward me, purr loudly, and nuzzle me. Now
that I'm up and sitting at the computer, she's in been my arms ...

Well.. it's not CTS but it  could be if I don't behave ;)
I put away my laptop for a few days and was pain free. Today I messed
around with it playing a computer game with lots of mouse movement with
my right forefinger. Same exact pain.
