Poor Francis...
He doesn't know what is going on and he's *most* put-out.
One of the willow trees on the bank of the stream is very dead. Being rotten
from the base.

The other day my sister was borrowing my car, and she and my nephew rode
over on mopeds to get it.  They left the mopeds in my patio, and for about
half an hour Sundance sat right at the back door keeping an eye on them!  I
don't know what he was thinking -- maybe that they were ...

Looking after the mogs is tough at the moment, as finances are very
tight.
You may or may not remember that a little under 2 years ago, I fostered
a couple of very sick, very feral girl kittens, Mitzi and Mouse, who had

My niece visited again with her camera, so I could play with the cats
while she took pictures. Here are some (a lot actually) action shots as
a change to all the sleeping pictures:

Longer ago than I care to think, I went on a laundry fit. I did several loads,
brought them up with full intention of sorting and hanging, and our dining
room table hasn't seen food since. Roxie has spoken, staked her claim, and
made it into Her Ladyship's Bed.

They're now just about 8 weeks old. I'm still ranting and raving
over getting Amber spayed. Our mom said she'll pay for Amber to get
spayed, but whenever I say I'll set up an appt close by, and our
mom will even go get her and take her and pick her up, just to make

It's finally gotten too hot and too humid here in Houston to go biking at
*any* time of day (at least biking for exercise).  I've had to resort to
using my treadmill for my exercise, but I *REALLY* miss going out on my
bike.  I can't wait for fall (like 10 months from now!!!).   ...

Yes, Caliban is one of *those* cats:

For some reason, my computer room at home is infested with a number
(and wide variety) of bugs. There are a couple of medium-sized moths,
including a very fat-bodied one that looks like a small hummingbird,
a number of very small flying things, some sort of long, reddish

She is two years old today, my little summer solstice cesarean section
baby cat! This is the kitten the vet "Wasn't sure would make it"
because she was so tiny at birth.  Some joke, as she's definitely the
dominant cat, around here!  When I pick her up she feels rather like a

I've read it, and I know it's suppose to be true, but...
The new place I'm moving to has an *excellent* cat box room in the basement.
There's an old louver sliding door on it.  I was thinking about cutting the
bottom off, so the cats could go under it...  but it would be DARK in ...

Long story trying to be short, I've told the story of maMA, found last
summer, friendly as anything (dumped, I'm sure) pregnant, got her spayed.
She then surprised the heck out of me a week after being spayed, by bringing
a litter of 5 kitens out of hiding. I found homes for 4, ...

I went to the vet today Rumble was due for his full panel blood works  So
please some purrs for a good turn out
   I heard this kitten meowing in the back and I said someone is not happy.
My vet's daughter found a kitten dropped out back in a box.  She is about 6

Heh, I don't know how many pictures I've taken of Caliban sleeping, but
here's another one. I guess I can't believe the cuteness. ;o) The
difference here is that he's not sleeping on my bed, he's on my chair,
and I had just finished brushing his tummy fur (he didn't move a muscle ...

He's barfing all of a sudden. Three or four times since supper last night.
He eats, then tosses it back up. If he doesn't quit real soon he's off to
see TED. Purrs that this will be unnecessary would be appreciated.
