She has been renamed Sofi by her new owner, my neighbor Judy.  Judy has
been wanting a long-haired cat and this all worked out great.  Sofi was
very shy but enjoyed being petted.  She purrs a lot.  Wish her luck in
her new "forever" home.

Some people are having trouble with cats. They get allergic reactions in
different forms, some people react to certain kinds of food, but here is one

This seems like maybe a good time to post about the cats.
Tigger is the neighbors' seven month old kitten; he spends a lot of
time at our office hanging out with our lawcat Ozzy, with whom he is
best buddies.  We are the ones who have twice taken Tigger to TED,

We're going to Orlando this afternoon for a week and a lady who lives
in our apartment building and who's a real catlover (she has about
thirteen!) is going to come over and feed Scout and Silver etc. We
went over there this morning to give her my key and to let her know

I don't know why I like this picture so much, it's fuzzy and the light make
it too glary, but this just gives me the "awwwwww"s!

I just love that little nose sticking up in the air!  ;>

According to local TV news, a serval has been seen several times in
the Crieve Hall suburb of Nashville, Tennessee.  A serval is a type of
African wildcat that weighs 30 to 40 pounds, with legs and ears that
are larger relative to the torso than those of a domestic cat (see

I was young and slender, lounging against the rail of a motorboat. The
sun was shining and there was a soft breeze blowing my long black
hair. I was enjoying the sight of the dolphins cavorting in the gentle
waves with the sea gulls swooping between sea and sky. I was at peace

My son submitted another recipe to your site.  What do you think?  Note: *I*

makes a girl need to get in the great outdoors and go a-hunting.
Vernon & Nathan were messing about with bicycles in the garage today (quelle

in the garden, sitting on the top of Herman the German... ...

Jena's feeling *much* better after she changed nurses. The chest would is
healed, and the leg is now getting significantly better after the infection.
She is, however, worrying alot about Wilson who just doesn't seem to be
himself at the kennels. Jean is *very* eager to get back ...

Hopitus!
It looks like I'm going to a conference in Denver in late September. Do
you think there's a chance we could meet? The conference will be held at
the Adam Mark's Hotel, is that close to you?

Orlie has pretty much become a permanent fixture on my lap while I'm
surfing these days. He rarely takes much interest in what's on the
screen, but today I happened on Sylvie Guillem's web site

No, not Idiot Insurance.
Louei and I have been bouncing about the idea of doing a benefit for a
struggling shelter, Tenth Chance, the people who gave us our dear little
(well, not so little now) Brandy. These poor people have a mountain of vet

I can't believe it...my little Brandy-candy's turned into a Cat.
It seems to have happened overnight. Kitten fluff has turned into a shiny,
sleek calico tuxedo with a soft white shirt-front. Of course, I should have
expected this, she's already a year and a half old for heaven's ...
