I'm getting dressed to go to work and I just saw something odd on the
wall next to my hamper. It looked like a brown mound, similar to those
mud wasp nests that we have outside, but small. I call Tom to look at
it, I figured perhaps we have some bug that is building a mud next on ...

I posted 2 pictures of Sam. The first was taken in my back yard about 1
month ago and the other was taken yesterday.

  Here in the UK we have five channels of TV ["terrestrial channels"]
coming through our aerials, two of which are funded by licence fees not
advertising.  Naturally they compete a lot.  Cable and satellite provide
lot more of course, and Sky our main satellite provider looks on ...

I am a founding member of this organisation and confirm that I am Bub
01.  I understand that 012 has already been taken.
I hereby stand up and admit that I played the game three times on Sunday
and lost every time.   I have only ever solved the game once, sob.     I

Ok, we've thrown in the towel.  Molly demands out, she's got it.
Thankfully she is not going far and is coming back in when we want her
pretty much.  And Jake is playing with her and more or less babysitting when
they are out.

My dear friend Sherry had to give the greatest gift of love to her 21
year old cat Charlie. She is hurting really bad, she's had Charlie since
she was 19 years old. Sherry told me that besides her parents, her
longest relationship has been with Charlie.

You know what? I used to laugh a bit when I read stories about the
Mothership and so on. I don't laugh anymore...
Last night I was going to bed, and as usual Teti and Tin?viel followed me to
get a good night's sleep. The procedure is the same every night, Teti comes

About a week ago I mentioned how nice it was to wake up to  my little
Persian adoptee, Roxy, coming up on the bed for kitty snugs.  She's
still doing it, and several times a day, as I must take frequent naps.
Up till yesterday though, it was always what she wanted and when she

We have some new neighbors - young, and with no telephone. So the wife
comes ove (a little too often) to see if she can use the phone. I am
at the point of showing her where the pay phone is...
I've got Buster in my lap, and Little Feet nearby, while watching

Well, the in-laws and their d*g left this morning. The cats are quite
relieved that the stinky critter has left and they've been extra-clingy
today. It might be the cold weather, or the fact that they missed us,
since they spent all day Saturday hiding from the d*g.

It seems Murphy never sleeps!
Last week I was finally able to make the final payment on my little
pickup. Aside from the paperwork delay, Nancy and I now own it free and
clear!

Was out in the garden this morning. As I wandered out there, he came to me,
live mouse firmly clamped in his jaws. Francis was head and tail held high,
full of himself with the result of his successful hunt. I do love it when my
sweet boy cat continues to defy the diagnosis of a ...

I adopted two male kittens shortly before Memorial Day, Bear and Davey.
Davey is long and lean, the stereotypical "curious cat" that can't stand not
to be right in the middle of whatever you are doing.  Bear is built like a
bulldog and already has a pretty-good-sized old man's tummy ...

I wish there were kitty service animals who could do things like
this...  Are there? Or are felines too independent to make good
service animals? (though the Power of Purr is a pretty good service in
and of itself)

Many of us know the joys of exercising with a playful, curious or
affectionate cat(s) in the room.  Stinky will sometimes watch, and
sometimes even demonstrate the correct way to do what I think I'm
doing.;)   But when I lie down on my back to do crunches, or relax
