We'll be away for 2 weeks of vacation visiting family.  I'll get to go to a

Kitties are being boarded at "Catnip Suites" (run by their vet).  Smokey's

privacy.  But he gave me the go-ahead, and who knows, maybe it will
help someone else here somehow?
Richard has had a breakdown.  Things started getting bad in early

The GOW war between Tanada and myself is proceeding nicely.  A couple of
nights ago, I was awakened at about 2 am from a dream where a massive crowd
was staring at me while I was going to the bathroom.  I jerked myself awake
(I've been known to have that bathroom thing become ...

Well, the purrs and prayers worked!!
Mom (w/Dad) went to the Oncologist today to discuss Wednesday's MRI done on
her brain.  The lung cancer has NOT spread.  Her unfortunate falls are due

I just wanted to say a collective thank you to everyone who read and
responded to my post about Weasie.  You truly are a kind and caring
bunch of people. That's why I enjoy "lurking" in this group so much.  I

Thank you for your Otis-go-home purrs.  He's not home yet and it's 7:30 AM -
sunrise at 5:22 AM.  If it was Chester, I wouldn't worry so much - he's
savvier than Otis and a little bit more independent.  Otis is just such a
homebody, a fan of his wet food, and hates being even a ...

Mommy and Daddy are acting kind of funny so I asked Jake what was going on.
He says he isn't sure, but that sometimes when they act like this, he ends

Last night I was curled up in my bed, without my glasses (severely near
sighted) reading  "1632" by Eric Flint.  Suddenly, I heard eep, eep, eep,

go to Rusty? He is not eating this morning which is unusal.
Normally he finishes his breakfast readily.
This morning he just took a few licks. I coaxed him to

DH took a 4 day weekend (as per his employment contract with his new
company, he gets 3 weeks vacation a year, and that's just to start, the
longer he's there, the more vacation time he'll get), taking Thursday &
Friday off (Thursday morning I had my annual checkup at my eye ...

Talked at length to the Vet this morning. I like this lady, she is not
Jazz's regular Vet (he is on vacation) and has never met or handled Jazz. I
mentioned the PU (surgery) and she said this is a last resort and he's not
