This morning Cinder's shore leave consisted of a trip to TED for a check up,
vaccinations, pre-dental blood test and nail clipping.
We don't remember that she has ever had a blood test.  If so, it would have
been years ago, so we hoped that she wouldn't struggle or cause any

I have been filling in for another board member who is on vacation, and
so going to the shelter much more often than usual.
I have been really struck and dismayed by the influx of cats/kittens
this "kitten season."

I need three more cats like I need a toothache, so guess what I'm
picking up Friday after work.  Well, kittens actually - nine-week old
red tabby kittens: two males and one female.  The mother is also red
tabby, rather large, well disposed, and pretty.

Gaze upon the horror, ye mighty, and despair.
The SISTER CREATURE's eldrich presence lurks upon this chair.

Cheryl (Phil and others) -
You've answered some of my questions before regarding skin lesions on the

We check the kids for tooth and gum trouble since the Brandy scare last year.
I discovered that Roxie not only has a loose tooth, but one that's literally
hanging there! I'm beside-myself nuts, but Louie's worse, blaming ...

Already our first Tropical Depression of the year
Are we ready?  NO not as much as I want

Persiakeeps trying to get me to give her more cat food.  She's yowling and
meowing at me.  Food, please?  No, it's not time yet!  I'm getting yowled
at, tapped on the side and stared at.  Yawned at and peered at with big
green eyes.  NO!  It's not *time yet* you goofy cat! :)

This evening, Vernon & I went for a pootle around the lanes, stopping off at
a pub for a bite to eat on the way home. On our quite lovely evening
journey, we passed a lovely ginger cat curled up having a snooze on a patch
of wheat at the corner of a wheat field. As we cycled by, ...

I was delighted with my new lightweight winter shoes.   They were
comfortable and the tops were made of some sort of durable, black plastic.
I was upset when I saw the damage to the toes of them - I couldn't remember
walking through a blackberry patch but that is the sort of ...

One thing that's enjoyable about running errands, is meeting business
cats. ;)  There are a few regulars I often see, like The Stripey Boys
in the copy shop, Mr. Tea in the coffee shop, and until recently,
Reggie, the Giant Orange Smurgler-- recently retired to private life,

I thought I'd give the address of a cat pic site:
