I was talking on the phone today, and absent-mindedly wadded a piece of
aluminum foil in a tight, tight, ball. A bit small than a golf ball.
Tossed it to one of the cats, and I swear, I never saw any toy I ever
bought get so much attention. They *all* played with like they've never

Baggy has got the zoomies at the moment, he's making me laugh out loud. He
keeps rushing from room to room, pouncing on his toys and giving little
chirps. Every few minutes he stops to have a quick wash. He's such a happy
boy. :-)

Fez really, really likes my brown leather bealt. How much does he like
it you mean? Well, enough to chew it whenever he gets a chance. He
doesn't do this to any other belt, just this one brown one. Yesteray I
was wearing the belt and sitting down watching TV. Fez jumped behind me ...

Aaaargh!!!!
DH & I had just finished watching a DVD, and I looked to my left, where
Smokey was sitting near the front door, staring right at me.  Then I noticed
that she was sitting oddly, with her back to the door and her behind not

I posted 2 pics of Kenzie on alt.binaries.pictures.animals. One is quite
a nice picture; I wish it scanned better, though.

Today DH and I met Jet at Yowie's parents' place and decided to bring
him home.  He has the sweetest personality and seems to purr every
time one of us pays him attention.  His purr sounds like a steam train
at rest - a gentle chuffing sound.  

I've been feeling awful (the tooth extraction wasn't such a simple thing
as I thought at first) and not up to posting, so have to send blanket
purrs all around. We've been snowed in here in Helsinki, with temps at
-20 C (-5 F) with wind chill to match. Up north, they are having ...

LB and I mostly navigate our house at night without turning on any lights.
Sometimes that leads to unpleasant discoveries, like cold used catfood
squishing between toes. It mostly _doesn't_ result in flat cats since Rocky
and Gazelle have figured out that we don't see them on a dark ...

Saw my mom today and she gave me the beds she made for the
kitties. One was small (they tend to really shrink when felted)
but they didn't care about that. I think cats like small things to
squeeze into.

Tak, how is Betty doing these days?  When is her next treatment?  Has the
last treatment had lasting effects?

Hows this for cute? Cary and Shmogg catching some Zzz's together.

What is going on with the weather worldwide? While Russia suffers the
coldest winter in decades, we are having an early spring here in central
Texas. Trees are blooming, birds are singing, people are wearing
shorts... what the heck is going on?

My niece posted some new pics of Miranda's brother Emil and their mother
Kira. They're at

As I speak, Little Boy is giving Little Feet what is turning into a
daily grooming. Apparently the integration is going well.
We haven't had any luck locating Little Boy's original people (which
may be just as well - he seems to spook sometimes, in ways that
