I'm going back to the island tomorrow. In about a week I should be back
with the cats, and then I will fetch LEO (orwhateverhisnamewillbe)!!! I
just looked at the pictures I took of him in his foster home (the brown
tabby at http://community.webshots.com/album/369334917nDLGmi), ...

We got our guys this:

for Kuamani and Tyche's adoption day (today, Lammas, August 1) and
Smokey's adoption day (August 10).  So far, all three have been playing

Hello all, the Babes-In-Training (BITs or bitties) have had a time
readjusting to life less two of their number.
As you know, I posted a whimper thread about "losing" Norton and
Trixie.  They (Norton and Trixie) have adapted well to being the only

When I went and got prescription food for Rusty this morning,
I found the price went up. With tax, it is over $40 Can.
This is Hill's prescription canned cat food. A case of it won't even
last a month. Wonder how long I can keep up. Rusty is already

This is kind of OT, but really sad, and it's bothering me a lot.
Authorities took this child from its home here 2 days ago. He was 4
years old and only weighed 28 lbs. He was chained in a closet. He had a
lot of old injuries from abuse that I won't describe here.

As you know, a while back I had foster kittens with very bad flu, who
all found great homes. The people who adopted the pair of kittens
Flannagan and Lola, have had me on "speed dial" on their phone as they
had never had cats before and ring me up for advice fairly regularly.

Just wanted to thank everyone who participated and helped to make the
chatroom party such a success. In all, about 30 people popped in to say
hello.
Some of you had trouble getting to the chat room for various reasons. Please

I posted this a while ago but don't see it.  Pardon if this is a repeat.
It's been a little while since I've been anecdote-y about the boys.  Summer
is harder for that since they spend so much time lounging outdoors and
killing mice that they're a little less playful and more ...

OK, I love my new bike, but since I have been riding again after getting
over the pneumonia, I've been having a weird problem.  After about 40
minutes of riding my left foot will "fall asleep".  I changed the saddle to
my old saddle (that I used to ride for 2 hours at a time without ...

My friend was over this evening dropping something off and we settled into
the chairs at the front entrance to chat for a while.
Otis and Chester had just been confined to the house before they could
wander, due to the alluring warm nights and the coyotes that roam at night.

Vino is getting more serious in his efforts to wake me up in the
morning.  The last 2 days in a row he has taken to unplugging and
plugging back in my alarm clock.  So I wake up to flashing numbers
with the wrong time!  Aaargh!

So far we are still alive.  We've managed to realize that the people
here are not trying to kills us......yet.
It does seem like they are keeping us alive for some reason.  They take
us out and put us on the scale every morning, and will occasionally
