You may think this is a little late - well, it is! - but the reason is
simple: I have caught up on reading RPCA for the first time for three
months.
  So Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.

First, thank and bless you dear folks who called into the vet's to
help me out before I even got there!  You are wonderful, and your help
is deeply appreciated.
Now I'm a little embarrassed.  <sheepish grin>  Here's why.

Well, Lily isn't yet. ;o)
I've just got my guys picked up from the cattery. The cattery is lovely,
and the staff are very competent and kind, but the mogs hate being
cooped up and they don't enjoy it.

Thank you for your advise.
However I absolutely have no idea what "your location is a little vague
since you just broadcasted the whole world on this newsgroup." mean.
Are you being sarcastic? Well, I guess it's your choice to be that way but

I know I'm prejudiced, but I think Sammy has *SUCH* a sweet little face!

My indoor-outdoor cats just suddenly became strictly-indoor. Beginning

We had our Christmas dinner today (nurses in the family have to work
Sat. & Sun.). Because of the hustle and bustle, it was later than usual

Tony, at the ripe old age of eleven has discovered the inside of the
fridge.  I thought this was a kitten thing.  Stripey Thing climbed in
there everytime I opened it when he was a kitten but he outgrew it when
he didn't get anything.  At first at would drag Tony out by the ...

It is a family tradition that we watch the Tom and Jerry cartoon 'night
before Christmas' on Christmas eve. Phoenix sat on my lap and watched it
with great concentration! It was so funny to see him that I think I spent
more time watching him than the cartoon.

Can't say i blame her though
i send her to school where she is poked and prodded, then i bring her
home and a week an a half later i ABANDON her at my friends apartment.
Well i picked her up this evening after i flew back from visiting my

I told you all about my four girls enjoying Christmas so much that it
brightened Ben and my day.  Well, there is never a benefit without a cost.

I guess you all understood what 'God Jul' meant? No? Ok, 'God' means 'good'
or 'nice' and 'Jul' means 'Yule'... Norwegian holiday greeting.
But where did the word 'Jul' come from? One explanation is that in
pre-Christian ages, people looked upon the sun as a wheel (Norw. 'hjul'),

Stripey Thing has decided he is only going to answer to Tony and
Mattie's names.  He still knows his name, he just won't come to it as
often anymore.  But it is a guarantee that if I call Mattie I will get
not only Mattie, but Stripey Thing as well.  In fact, I might even get

I mentioned a few weeks back that I had two root canals (I had to go to the
oral surgeon because I have crooked roots).  When the oral surgeon was
removing a root he broke off the end of a file in my tooth and left it
there.  He told me that he had already rinsed the root out ...
