Persia's tap me on my nose routine is now common practice and is no longer
reserved for waking me up.  If I'm stretched out on the couch reading a
book, she'll put two paws up on the couch and reach out and touch my face to
get my attention.  Lately, to accompany that, after rubbing ...

Tessie is one happy girl today... she's smurgling on the quilt and
burbling away so loudly that I can hear her from five feet away! This
morning she smurgled with me in the bathroom, and then with John, and
then she smurgled the bed and the quilt that she likes to lie on...

Living on a busy road like we do (speed limit is 35mph, but most people seem
to be doing 50mph, unless stuck behind our mailman :D), all our kitties are
indoors.  However, we have made some concessions:  we spent over $1000
dollars last year refinishing the floor to our back ...

I stopped at the little store down the street and there was a very young dog
out there with teats hanging almost to the ground.  Obviously a stray who
had recently given birth and had pups someplace.  Another guy and I each
bought a can of Alpo and put it out by the store under the ...

In my garden last night. Bold as brass, lying stretched out on the grass,
soaking up the evening sun.
A young cat - estimate to be about a year old, and unneutered (BAH! to last
bit). Absoutley gorgeous - too pretty to be a boy, really - a mackerel

Woke me up at 5 am.... I had wanted to sleep until 7 but by the time I got
the Feliway diffuser plugged back in, I was clear awake.
This was the weekend that I was finally going to make it to the swap meet in
Cabool, but at the last minute had to call it off due to rain. And, oh ...

The unthinkable has happened:
Japan is positioned to remove critical protections for whales at this
Friday's International Whaling Commission (IWC) meeting, spelling disaster
for the world's whales.

There are some new visitors at the door.
First is the little grey girl kitty, who rushes into the apartment
when I put food out in the morning. She runs around, trying to see
where the food is, then hurriedly follows me out to where I put food

Mama sent me a box of goodies for my birthday, so I cut the top off it
and reinforced it with tape and put it on my desk for now... it didn't
take the girls long to find it and climb in!

Miranda and Caliban were holding hands (or paws) as they were sleeping:

I posted a picture of Asterix a few days ago. After a lot of looking I found
a picture of his brother, Oscar. Oscar was much the boldest and friendliest
of the two, and used to visit more often.

I was lying on my back in bed last night and I heard this motor
approaching.  It got louder and louder and finally it settled on my
pillow next to my head.
Whew, at least the motor was warm and furry!

I was vacuuming last night, which is a rare occurrence.  Yeah, as much
as I love my Dyson, it's lucky to get used twice a month. I am *not*
a housekeeper by any stretch of the imagination.  But I digress....
Rita climbed on the couch and watched the Sucky Monster with great

I don't get it.  Are kids like dogs?  LOL It's all over the news
that there is a frequency that kids can hear and most adults
cannot. It was said that when it was discovered, the tone was used
in a store somewhere in Europe that had a teen population that the
