The other day I pulled out the sofa seat cushions to make a fort for DD.
Mithu was sleeping on the back cushion when I pulled the seat cushion
out from under it. He didn't even move as his cushion collapsed:

Dad had surgery for blockages in the arteries in both his legs last year.
One didn't quite "take" and they went in again.  Apparently it still isn't
right; he's not getting enough blood flow down the leg.  So on Monday
morning, May 1, they are going to insert a balloon to open up ...

Apologies for taking so long to post this (hopefully) final update on
the feral park cats in Richmond, Indiana.
Ironically, it was politics that solved the problem.  A new mayor was
elected, and she even (while campaigning) went out with the caretakers

I know I have been brief in posting lately, but I am truly thinking of
all of you in need and sending purrs.  Life has just hit me so hard,
and I am taking some time to deal with it.
I took Cosmo to another vet last week.  I just don't know what to

A fine spring day with a stiff breeze sets the birds to squabbling noisily
and interestingly. Which leads to a truce between Sugar and Pearl. We may
never see them sit this close again. (see 2 pictures)

I've posted a few times about my brother and his relationship to cats.
About how Samantha crossed the Bridge and left Pat and his dog so
devastated, about the strays that keep shoping up in his yard because
they know he's good for regular feeding and a warm place to sleep, about

Sonya is such a good meowmie.  She's training the kittens to use the
litter box and eat kitten food.  They seem to really take to her lesson
plans and are having a ball.
I should feel sorry for Mandy, but I don't.  She walks in and is mobbed

Tap-tap with the paw.  Mom, I'm hungry. (Mom rolls over... "It's not time
yet, Persia.")  But I'm hungry!  "It's not time yet!"  Mom rolls over.
Persia snuggles, snuffles, purrs.  Tap tap.  "NO Persia, it's not time yet!"
Persia curls up and purrs while mommy strokes her fur and ...

The last few days have been intersting. We ended up spending up two days
in LaPine, OR. The territory there is so beautiful that we had to take
two kitten walks a day, one in the wee hours of the morning and one at
night. Harri absolutely loved that!

Persia is curled up on the pillow next to my desk with her paw draped over
her nose.  This invariably leads to soft little snores and this time is no
exception.  She's completely out!  If I were to reach down and pat her right
now she'd squeak.

Tonight was Harri's first time taking a walk in Las Vegas. North Las
Vegas, actually, at the Pilot truck stop. The street we're on gets
pretty quiet at night, but nearly quiet enough to suit Harri.
Our walk tonight lasted only 15 minutes, and we only got about 100 yards

Got back from the trip to Huntsville with my LLL, John, a couple of hours
ago.  He's back on the road again.
The art show was a total bust.  Not sure what happened but it just didn't
get anywhere near the crowds we are used to.  Victor mentioned the weather

Few days ago I found a pound, round cheese wheel @ local supermarket for
less than $5!  Today I broke into it and noticed "Finlandia" with
logo....checking side panel I
saw it was imported to a NJ, USA city. Just now went to

How'd you like our most recent snow storm?
Our flowerbeds had already sprouted beautiful pink tulips ... I don't
think there will be much left of them when I get home tonight =/

Well Sesame went back on Tuesday for a checkup and things seemed to be going
OK with her eye if not perfectly. The last month has been discussions with
the vet about hoping things heal naturally but with another option of
surgery if things just dont happen. Her kidneys pose the ...
