The squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that.  I kept calling to complain
and they removed my shipping and handling charges for the delay.  Just got
notice my camera shipped yesterday afternoon.  Oooh, I can take pics of
Persia again!  Except she's hiding because it's raining.  Oh ...

Rosie has voluntarily taken on several helpful roles.
Although I have a regular alarm clock, Rosie rightly thinks I would prefer
to wake a few minutes early to purrs instead.
Every couple of years she has performed a gravity check by sliding down the

Early summer, Bonnie started doing something weird with her nose.
Snorty, hyperventilating, half-sneezy, sort of trying to blow
something out her nose. She was also coughing, and that was right
around the time someone posted a link to a video of a cat having

I've been anxious to hear how Pua (stray kitty) did at the vet today.
How is she?
I'm hoping she is on her way to being a chubby, healthy cat.

Me, my mother, sister and aunt spent the day at Castle Howard, where
'Brideshead Revisited' was filmed around 1980. My sister took a few
photos, so I created a Webshots album.

I just thought of something after the carrier/hurricane post (esp. since you
are in FL, it is probably something that will come up someday). I often see
nice carriers at garage sales for less than half the price at stores. It
might be a good thing to look around when you see them ...

There's a troll infestation in progress on another ng I've followed since I
first went online, alt.fan.barry-manilow .
This happens occasionally. Manilow, like cats, seems to be a topic that
ignorant trolls feel compelled to take swipes at.

Nathan has been out on his bike this morning. A wasp got under his glove and
started stinging him. OW! His thumb joint is resembling a lamb shank ;-)
Still, he'll survive!

I have a daybed in my living room, and I sleep on it sometimes when it
gets really hot upstairs under the roof, and I don't want to run the
AC.  Stinky gets a little perplexed when I do this, because he thinks
I should be in bed around 11:30, and usually starts trying to herd me

I was expecting Otis to give us the cold shoulder after we got back from our
one week holiday.  I'm happy to say that we got anything but!
I walked in the back gate and there stood Otis yowling in the hoarse loud
yowl that he uses when he's super upset.  He sang and sang and sang ...

Today is my mom's 80th birthday.  I can't get in touch with her.  She's
somewhere on the road evacuating from New Orleans and the wrath of Katrina.
All phone circuits to New Orleans and to cell phones in that area are busy
and it's impossible to get through.  I know she's with my ...
