I was just talking to my sister on the phone and she told me about a
robbery from her local "Cats Protection" shop. Two teenage girls went
in, one of them distracted the asistant while the other stole ?100
pounds from the till. What kind of people steel from a charity?

Has anyone been in touch with Grace to know how she's doing.  I'm still very
worried about her and would like to know that she's OK (or as OK as she can
be right now).
Hugs,

Purrs yet again for the people of Florida, as Hurricane Jeanne
(category 3) comes ashore tonight. It's hitting the Florida east
coast, landing in the Port Saint Lucie/Stuart area (between Melbourne
(north) and West Palm Beach (south)), in many of the same areas

Dusty came to me five years ago (the day after hurricane Floyd passed
by). We bonded immediately as I scooped the tiny six-week old furball
into one hand - and pulled her close to my chest. As a kitten and all
through her adoledcence(?) she was always at my side. Even today she

Email from her new slave:
Just wanted to send you a quick update. I went to the vet today. Well a
different one because my last one just wasn't up to my standards. (that's
the bad thing about having worked at a vet, I have very high standards now)

Not exactly - there's no timeslip, he's reached Kitty 18 months, which
seems a good time to celebrate his arrival into adulthood. There are
definite signs that his hoolikitten nature is subsiding (in terms of
reduced damage to the household) and the "manic minutes" are now few &

Harvey's been losing his fat, becoming more cuddly and is much, much more
insistent on getting any wonderful meaty we may be most shamefully not sharing
with him.

He caught his first mousie today. He brought it in the house, of course, and
batted it around for a long time. All the other cats watched and Billy
growled to keep them away from his prize. Finally he ate it. In all my
cat-loving days I have never seen a mouse devoured so quickly.

I'll pet Little Feet, saying,
"Who do I love?
I love YOU!
Why do I love you?

Well, a few weeks ago "Upside Downy Head" (to the tune of Row, Row, Row
Your Boat") was whirling around in my head for hours one day...now it's
the "My Friend the Witch Doctor" song. "OOOOH EEEH..." AAAAUUUUGGGHHH!

I got hom Friday, and Senyah seemed to be in a slight huff. See, she
considers Little Feet to be her cat (Hahaaahhha! All cats eventually
become my cats - big grin). So she really love Little Feet, although
she isn't much of a cat person.

Yesterday we were on a committee boat for a sailboat race.  While waiting at
anchor for the competing boats to cross the finish line, I noticed that the
water resembled a huge blanket on a bed with cats lumps moving around
underneath.
