I had a lot of deliveries today, so the floor is covered with boxes
and packing paper.  The boys seem to have called a truce while they
both romp around with their favorite things. ;)

Cleo has been terrorizing Smokey, despite being half her size. She stalks
Smokey during the day and waits beside the couch for her to come out of
hiding. At first we thought she was looking for a playmate, but it soon
became apparent that there was something else going on here. ...

I'm almost embarrassed to ask, but ...
On Friday, I got a temporary crown.  It really shouldn't have been any
big deal.  It was the farthest-back tooth in my mouth, and I have a
very small mouth.  Anyway, my dentist ended up spending two hours on

I applied awhile back to foster a couple of rescue kitties from
Katrina, and I finally heard from someone.  I have an application to
fill out first, so it isn't definite, but this is something I really
want to do.

You've all seen pictures of Bandit on her pile of pillows on my bed.  Well,
every night we have this little ritual.  When I'm removing the (decorative)
pillows from the bed, I wait to move hers last and then I put another pillow
in front of her stack of two pillows so she can step ...

Speckles is determined to give me a few.  She's doing fine, enjoying
her baby-food diet, getting stronger, forgiving us for the indignities
inflicted.   She has begun crawling into bed with me about 5:00 a.m.
This morning, after feeding and giving Hobo his insulin, I prepared

We've been having a king of the mountain / top cat contest around here
this week. Not that they're fighting or anything, it's just that Sammy
is NOT HAPPY when Spotty climbs to the top bottom of the cat tree.
Whenever she spots Spot heading for the cat tree the race is on and

I went to the vets to get food and make an appointment for Pearl and
the receptionist was bottle feeding the teeeeny tiniest little 3 week
old tabby. SOooooo adorable. I guess one of the vet techs boyfriend
found it this weekend. Boy, talk about baby fever.

As part of my fight against ringworm (and I seem to have won that fight
- there have been no more outbreaks on any of the cats or on myself), I
washed all the woolly blankets I have here and there for the cats to
sleep on. Miranda was not at all pleased with this. When I put back ...

Hi everyone, there's been a new pic of Mr. Fleas posted to Housecat
Wisdom.  If you care to take a gander, it's a cute one!
Azy!
"Unfortunately, I once roomed with a cocker spaniel, and she left a

Now Pearl is coughing again. I had really backed off on the prednisone
because the heart group people really have a fit about it, AND it's
hard to hide the taste so she doesn't take it as well, but last night
and today she isn't feeling well and is coughing and dry heaving a bit, ...

Caught a pic of Bootsie, the anti-gravity bird-stalker and wanted to
share it. (Disclaimer: No birds were harmed either before or after the
photo was taken. No birds have ever actually been harmed by Boots. She
tries though)

According to my Calendar, the 12th of October is Yom Kippur, the Day of
Atonement in Judaism.
And whilst I am not Jewish myself, I still think its a good idea to
apologise to my friends and family for any hurt or slight I may have

Dante has a way that many of you will recognize, or picking up his
toys, and transporting them from place to place.  Last night, I was
watching TV, and he came running up the stairs, and jumped up on the
couch next to me with--  a business card in his mouth.  I didn't have
