The cats enjoyed the party.   It was nice to have all their favourite
foods and to leap from knee to knee. I know they appreciated the
beautiful birthday cakes (there were two, a chocolate one made by my
sister-in-law and a special fruit cake done by Helen, my cat loving

A close relative recently took Bud, his 14-year-old long-hair former stray
with a mind of his own, to the vets to be groomed. When he picked up his
kitty who is diabetic, he has handed the invoice. It listed a supply of
insulin my relative needed for Bud, and the cost of grooming ...

I don't know if this would be of much help at this point but FYI:

  "Best Friends (Animal Sanctuary) is coordinating efforts with
rescue groups to find animals that have been left behind.

A cool map thing shown to me by a friend...
Here's what you do.  Use the slider to the left to zoom in by pushing the
curser up.  You can actually zoom to a street level!  You may have to adjust
the map by using the up/down/left/right arrows as the map gets larger as you

Last night I awoke in the middle of the night to scuffling sounds from
the bathroom. Miranda hasn't been chasing TP greeblings since we got
home from the island, and I thought sleepily that, ok, now she's
rediscovered them. The scuffling went on and on, and I couldn't get back

As I mentioned in another post - while the news is chortling over New
Orleans being spared, nobody is reporting on the destruction of adjacent St.
Bernard Parish.  The parish is underwater for miles and miles (my MIL's home
is one of those affected.  Two high schools are now piles ...

First, an apology.  I spent 10 days (instead of the 9 I had planned)
visiting my mother in Alaska.  Every since I got back, I've been swamped.
I've peeked in a few times, but just can't keep up with the group.  Purrs,
hugs and sympathy to everyone who needs them.

He managed to sweet-talk his way into a day off today, came home and spent
all morning boarding up the back yard so no dog can get under the deck, or
under the fence, or out in any other way - and informed MIL that the dogs
were going to spend the visit in the nice, large, shady (we ...

They're stockpiling several refridgerated trailers near the office because
offically we're renting from the US Military and we see much of what they do
off post. If some remember Pam Shirk's husband worked very close by at the
airport the local national guard had purchased.  At ...

Yesterday morning, my modem didn't work.  Weird, since it had worked
great just the night before.  I did a bunch of tests and it was
definitely the modem that was fried.  So I had to drive to the next
town 30 min away to get a new one.

Everyone's favourite little dictator is dining.

Aren't I the purr-hog today.
DH got attacked by a renegade swarm of bees. I don't think they were a
true Africanized colony or he'd probably be dead. But he has at least a
dozen stings and his right arm is about the size of his leg. I counted

Found this in a different news group. Sorry if it's already been posted, but

Spending a few days in the Lake Como area, relaxing, chilling out and
not thinking about work.  Cats already at their "holiday home", and
doubtless being spoiled!
Purrs to all that need them
