By the cats, that is, certainly not by me.  I awoke this morning and
found four (4) used drinking straws in bed with me.

Speaking of "Cio-Cio-San".....Anna Moffo, American
Diva, gone @ age 73..debut 1955 in that role, great
fame from 50's to 70's, when her voice failed for
operatic roles (so the story goes: from "overwork" or

Make sure to check out cuteoverload.com today. There are a couple of
STUPENDOUSLY adorable kitty pics among the photos. One is of an orange
tabby who's both doing Upside-Down Kitty and smiling in his sleep, and the
other is of a tiny kitten about to bap an index finger. The kitty is ...

I wondered why the volume of growling, hissing and cat-to-cat-contact
had suddenly gone up last week and I realised why - she's irresistably
attracted to movement (especially twitching tails!) And since the
other two cats are used to her they're more relaxed in her presence

With the milder weather, I am getting flies in my home. Rusty likes to catch
and
eat them which I doubt is good for him. I want to use some fly repellents
but

I wonder if Persia will look different? LOL
I'm sick of the optometrist not getting my prescription right.  I'm sick of
having to reach for glasses before I can stumble to the bathroom in the
middle of the night.  A few years ago my parents offered to pay for lasik

For some reason Persia is giving me extra kitty kisses lately.  This
phenomenon starts with the gentle tap to wake me up; I turn over and gaze
into her big green eyes and hear a delightful rumbling soft purr.  I swear
she's smiling :)  I reach out to pat her and she does the duck ...

I'm lounging around, reading ebooks (Honor Harrington) and newsgroups
(RPCA of course!).
It is unbearably hot because the apartment complex hasn't turned on
the A/C yet. So I've got a big glass full of ice and Diet Coke sitting

Funny and true!! Sends me back to my childhood...my mum's a nurse, and we
used to love going into the hospital, as we got to go to all the places
'normal' people didn't, and got spoiled by the other nurses. I had both my
children at the same hospital, which was great as I'd known ...

My friend called last night in tears because her doc has suggested that she
needs to re-home her husband's cat.  Smokey is 17 yo and has been with her
DH through thick and thin.  My friend moved out here 2.5 years ago to marry
her DH.

It wasn't a heart attack. That much has been confirmed. All the tests
were mind-bogglingly normal. My blood pressure is lower than normal; my
cholesterol is so low the doctor couldn't believe her eyes; there were
none of those nasty little enzymes floating around that could indicate ...

This morning I was getting dressed to go run my morning errands. This
involved getting my socks out of the dresser drawer.
Dulce Mae was on top of the dresser, helping me select a pair of
socks, and I was not paying attention.

I came to lurk and ended up ranting, which was not my intention.  Maybe
I should mention the cats.  ;-)
RL has buried me in work, but of course that means I get to spend more
time with the office cat(s).  Ozzy the Lawcat is my very excellent

Mischief and Mayhem aren't fighting anymore........at least not when
one immediately comes into the room.
But they still keep their distance from each other.  However every now
and then it will be all quiet and suddenly i hear growls and hisses
