Francis is curled up on Vernon's chair in the office. He's fast asleep. He
is, however, dreaming. His tail is lashing and his whiskers are twitching
madly. It's just the sort of stuff he does when he's sat on the windowsill
watching the birds go for the nuts in the feeders ...

Otis' urine test result were ok so now we're on to dental scraping to see if
there are dental issues.
Anyone free tomorrow to help me get him into the carrier?????

The continuation of "Smokey is a poopster."
One time my parents were cat sitting and I was on military service.
When DP got back from his trip, he went to pick up Nox and Smokey.
About three hours after leaving my parents' place, his car broke down.

Since Buster has had his snip, he has started to mellow a bit more.
Now, Buster has always been a sweet cat, and very loving, but he
always had that look of a world-weary, battle-scarred old tomcat. He
insisted on going outside, and vigorously chased off other cats on his

Just worried.

restaurant-style dispenser jar.  
Monday night:  I wake to the sound of an empty soda can clattering to
the kitchen floor.  I get up, yell at one of two cats that's obviously

When we first met Odessa at a showing in a local pet store, she had a little
sign on her cage, "My name's Odessa... I've been returned to the shelter
several times... I'm a little shy... I don't know why no one wants me."

I finally got a couple of good pictures of Calvin, the other foster cat.
 You can't see it in these pictures, but Calvin has what looks like a
dirty splot around his mouth, like he'd been caught eating gooshy food
and hadn't licked it off.  I think it is way too cute, but I have ...

Why my dad calls Smokey "The Poopster."
After a week of kittysitting Nox and Smokey, it was time to put the
cats in their crates for the six hour drive to our place.  THey

Charlie came home from the grandson's little league game a bit ago.  I
wasn't feeling well and was lying down.  But he still found it necessary to
come and ask me if I'd let one of the cats out while he was gone.  Yes Molly
had escaped.  As she does most evenings given a shred of ...
