I know you're at the bridge now, young and healthy again, and I don't want
to weigh your spirit down with my sorrow and tears.  But I do want you to
know how much you'll be missed by all of us.
We're purring for your meowmie's broken heart to heal quickly, and a candle

This was too cute... no idea what the original source is cause it was
posted on a bulletinboard, but it's too cute not to share.

Betty likes giving paw touches.  These range from light cotton-ball
touches with her paw fur, to paw pad pats, to full grabs.
A favorite target of Betty's paw touches is the face, mostly on the
cheek or nose, and the usual time when they occur is when we're in

Dear Friend
I know you are nervous as you pace up and down.
Although I can't see it, I sense that you frown.
You're sad today and yes, I know why;

This has been making the rounds for years, but still worth posting for those
who haven't seen it yet.
The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas...
Things I've learned from my Boys (honest and not kidding):

DH and I took Oscar to the vet for her annual checkup last Friday.
I was home most of last week with the worst cold I've ever had (plus
fever and chills ... hrm, maybe it was the flu ... and an ear infection
that just won't go away), so I actually suggested that DH take Oscar to

I've been thinking of setting up a little tribute to Nikki for some time
now, and I finally took the time to learn how to do a webpage. I'm
making pages for all the cats, but they are all still under
construction. It's a very simple site. The main index is at:

Of the old lady meatloafing.  She looks like a totally black cat on this

Please could I have some purrs for me? The Cats are all fine, but today
things suddenly went from *quite shitty*, to *REALLY, REALLY shitty* on
a financial front and unless I can resolve things quickly things are
going to fall apart in a very spectacular style. :o((

Well, we've managed to get through the day and settle everyone down. The
cats have been unusually clingy this evening but have finally begun to relax
again. I'm not sure where Selena was when all of this took place but every
time she walks by the front hallway she slinks low and ...

Here in balmy Texas, it is currently 25 degrees F (-4 degrees C), with
high winds (so the wind-chill is sub-teen). Because of the sleet and
freezing rain at rush hour, I took my time getting home.
When I got home, however, there was a big surprise waiting for me.

The Stupid moron came back tonight because she forgot her jacket when I
threw her out last night.
