IBKFergus barely stops to acknowledge the adult hoomin's existance (The
Yowlet is merely a very ugly kitten, as far as she's concerned). She
certainly has far more pressing kitty business to actually stop and allow
herself to be be scratched.

A funny thing she does is try to catch bugs that are on the outside of
the window.  She will leap at the same bug over and over again, only
pawing the glass every time.  Of course the bug knows it is safe so it
stays put until it wants to go elsewhere.  I'm just happy she can

Mattie has become my resident body sleeper.  I sleep on my side and she
climbs up there - starting at my feet - and curls up on my hip or on my
rib cage depending on her preference at the time.  I find this very
comforting and I have found I sleep better with her there than with ...

The way the year's been going, I figured it wasn't going to be an
altogether great day.  But I didn't expect that the first thing that
happened would be yet another tooth breaking off :-(  Greaaaatttt.
And because I needed time to get over the trauma of the colonoscopy, I

How do they do it?
If Scott and I are going away for the weekend to my parents, we always
take the girls with us.  They travel well, and treat my parents house
as their second home.

and fewer because it has finally started to rain here, and I know from
past history eventually there won't be any more coming in.  Meanwhile

  I have spent some time away, and other time very busy, over the last
six months.  As a result I have found myself getting further and further
behind with RPCA.
  So I finally gave up and deleted 15,000 messages without looking!

Samson loves his mousies.  Samson is an oversized black cat that bears
a remarkable resemblance to a panther.  The funny thing is the mousies
are all pink.  He won't play with any other color mousie.
He loves killing them so much that he plays fetch with them.  I toss

My meowmy has been giving me nasty tasting medicine every morning and
evening since I had my teeth worked on over a week ago.  At first I just
took it, because I figured it was just that once.  But she KEPT DOING IT!
EVERY DAY!  It tastes really nasty, so finally I started objecting ...

Another dog that was put down that I really like was Pablo.
Pablo was a yellow Lab that had an amazing mouth/toy fetish.  No matter
what, EVERY TIME he came into the clinic, he had something in his
mouth.  He wasn't comfortable going anywhere unless he had something in

We haven't heard much from you lately. How are things with you, DH,
and the terrible twosome this winter? Is Bonnie still peeing in the

My name is Karen and I'm the proud companion to 9 cats and a dog who
thinks she's a cat.  Number 10 has possibly just arrived (he hasn't shown
