Hobo is such a stoic, laid-back old gentleman.  Once in a coon's age
he'd show a fit of temper but rarely since his early semi-feral days.
But even he apparently has his limits.  About ten days ago when I was
about to give him his insulin shot, he suddenly sank a claw into my

Here are some updates on Mayhem....
Last night Mayhem was meowing up storm.  Normally I ignore her, but
there was a new sound...
Meow! Meow!!  Mrrf!  Mrrf!!  Mrrff!  SPROING....THUNK!!!! Meow! Meow!!

LOL.  Well, I think the appetite stimulant, cyproheptadine.  Four weeks ago,
when I got the digital baby scale, Jessie weighed 7.50 lbs.  One of the
reason I rushed her to the vet was that by Wednesday of last week she was
down to 7.15 lbs.  We started giving her the cyproheptadine ...

Do you know Maxine, the skinny old cartoon lady who is always, um,
"crotchety"?  Here are some of her election platforms.
1. Maxine on "Driver Safety" - "I can't use the cell phone in the car. I
have to keep my hands free for making gestures.".......

Mir-mir went through her usual antics during the night -
curtain-climbing, flowerpot-digging, squirrel-wrestling on top of me in
bed - and I didn't get much sleep. But how can I stay angry at her when
I sit down at the computer in the morning and she comes over and

My Mum refuses to believe this, but it happens every year. When I start
planning to go to the island, and talk about how to arrange buses and
boat transportation and so on with my Mum on the phone, Frank gets
antsy. He spends hours every day yowling at the door. I take him out on ...

I saw a little device at the local supermarket that you attach to your car
keys if you've mislaid them, all you do is whistle and it strikes up with a
peeping noise so you can find them.
What a great idea, I thought, and only 97p!!

MomDad and Mom are eating Ice Cream and I WANT IT!!
I ooze up onto the table and try to put my face in the bowl.  They
don't like that.
So I sit on their laps and bat their spoons.

... is echoing all through Finland. The paper workers came to an
agreement with da boss-men and are finally ending their strike! The
economic ramifications are untold, but for the common man, one thing is
certain. Finally we will have Finnish toilet paper in the shops again!

Snowball's telling me quite clearly that he's missing his rumpus-buddy
Pericles, even though Peri wasn't too happy romping with him, and wants
a new pal.  Bandit does his best to oblige and the two boys are
extremely close, but B spends a lot of his time in the Out and Snowball

I did the same thing Bob did.  I got ticked off at some rancorous
posts and, after over seven years with the Group, I quit.  It lasted
about 6 - 8 weeks.  Like Bob, I checked in again a week or so ago,
only to find even more horrendous viciousness going on.  I've read

Okay, I did it.  I went to the ER.  I brought home souveniers!   I have all
these sticker things still stuck on me from where they did an EKG.  That was
*hours* ago.  No one told me the results.  No one told me anything.  The
Tech who did the EKG left and a new shift came on.  I'm ...

Well, things are going better over here.  Spot and Orcat(t) mommy
came a-visiting on Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday, and she and her
boyfriend spent significant amounts of time in the bedroom with
the boys.  Orca(t) loved the attention, but Spot very pointedly
