I wonder how many of us talk some kind of baby talk to our cats,
sometimes even without necessarily realizing it.  My mother says I
talk to Stinky the same way she talked to me and my brother when we
were toddlers.  "What's for breakfast today?  Why don't we go see?"

Update on last week's purr request. Dweeble is home, and his trachea is
healing well, and fingers crossed he will be fine. Sadly Lulu (my mum's 14
year old cat) didn't make it. She refused to eat after the surgery, and went
downhill very quickly, she was put to sleep this morning, ...

Well I am just sorry but I don't like not being owned!  I need a furry master to
put me in my place.  I need rules.  I need to know my proper station.  I cannot
just go through life free!!!!
So... it has been decided that we will be getting 2 kittens.  We had been

From cnn.com:
FLORENCE, South Carolina (AP) -- An Army helicopter with three soldiers
aboard vanished during a training flight in bad weather, and a search
was under way Tuesday, authorities said.

I don't think I've mentioned it, but I am now a great aunt ;-)
The small human kitten whose existance makes me a great aunt has taken her
first steps in becoming well-versed in the craft of understanding the feline as
a superior species. I am informed by her mother that she has ...

After the rain last night, I just took the day off, I hate mowing wet
grass, and checked out the campgrounds. I had a good drive checking
things out. Out on the refuge I saw the usual buffalo and long horn
cattle, and had to stop at one point to let some long horns cross the

Little black cat is sweet, healthy (but may have a touch of
ringworm, which is being treated) but unfortunately very
pregnant.
She's been abandoned by her humans who moved house

I have caught Pearl watching TV several times lately! She is my first TV
watcher. It's pretty amusing. She looks like she's really taking it in.
Tonight it was a home improvement show. Go figure.

    Just spent a few minutes watching the kittens of Mama Cat who has
moved them up onto our porch.  Lynda was going to move my mobility
cart and started by taking the cover off it.  What to her wondering
eyes should appear but five three week old kittens.  Obviously the

I just lost a neighbor to senseless violence, and it has me really
upset. This couple next door has been having their troubles for some
time, until finally she ran him off. Her brother was there at the time,
as well as her father. The three of them made it clear to the one of him ...

We had visitors to-day and someone remarked thoughtfully that there was
a cat on the roof.   Our lounge looks out onto big beams that criss
cross a U-shaped area.   Bonnie was busy balancing on the beams like a
tight-rope walker and yowling.

As a result of yesterday's approx 50 mile cycle ride to make the most of the
lovely weather, my legs ached a tad (a lot) last night. As I was stretched out
in my bed, Waffles stretched out along side me. Obviously, me going "Ouch!
Ouch!" everytime I moved brought out the caring side ...

Thanks for all the good thoughts guys. :) Both masters are home and
safe, with no side effects from their dentals.
HRFL Tiger has 2 teeth out and Pandora had 3 teeth out. All were rotten,
so they must have been uncomfortable. :(
