I called Persia.  No Persia.  I looked everywhere; under the bed, in the
closet in my bedroom, under the tables in the living room.  I looked behind
my desk in this room and in the closet in here - on the shelf (she likes the
shelf) and in the dark corner behind my vintage dresses.  ...

I was chatting today with a vendor at a local farmers' market on the grounds
of a church, when someone placed an exquisite little grey kitten in my arms.
"What are you doing to me?" I asked, nuzzling the tiny darling. "Don't you
know I'm the world's greatest ailurophile?"

On this mornings bike ride some turkeys crossed the road and I
daydreamed how it took a year or so after I moved here before I saw
turkey and, given how often they're around since, it was surprising in

Here's a couple of new ones of my furballs....

Fez and Rufous don't seem to want to act like full-grown cats, even
though they're 2 years old now. Pretty much every morning they engage in
a wrestling session, like boy brothers often do. Rufous does a very
unusual thing, that I've never seen before. He stands on his back legs, ...

We are getting new furniture in our living room tomorrow! (yay!!)
However, we had to get rid of some old stuff tonight and the living room
is missing a couch and a coffee table. Blind cats obviously rely on
things being in the same place all the time! So, poor Jasper was

I am almost in tears as I write this, but as I was leaving to go to Mom's
(and take her a dozen +/- home-grown tomatoes), I find Bittie along the
foundation where her & Mama had been for the past couple of days - no sign
of Mama (but she was there for her am feeding).  I checked ...

I took the camera outside late this evening for new pics of everybody,
all six--except Bosley refused to go out and have his picture taken.
Kids.
This is what I found when I went looking for them. It was actually

It was night and all felines were fast asleep.  Stanley was passed out
in his hammock on his back and his toes were twitching from him being
in a deep dream.
Suddenly a paw came flying out of nowhere and unhooked the end of the

We just had to rush our Isis to the vets...she has an enlarged heart.  We
don't know if she will make it through the night.  
Please send purrs to her!

I'm watching an Oprah re-run that I didn't see the first time featuring
Lance Armstrong (from before this latest win).
He is truly, truly inspirational.  Oprah had brought a woman on who was
battling cancer (and who got her will to fight from Lance) and gave her a

I visit and participate in a number of newsgroups, but this one is far ahead
of the pack for sheer volume of participation! It's amazing but not
surprising how much we ailurophiles love to write and chat about our
kitties. What's also remarkable is how interesting and varied the ...

That is what I asked myself on Sunday when Hobbes went on a restricted
diet and we had to terminate free feeding at our house.  How long will
it take before they learn to eat when food is put down?
Hobbes had his cardiac sonogram last week and it showed that his heart

I've been living in this apartment complex for 9 years now.  I never had a
complaint until they decided to rip out and re-build the fences around the
patios in 1999.  The old fences were 6 feet tall and provided privacy but
they needed to be replaced.  The new ones they installed ...
