Dunno why I put it off for so long. The whole clowder is fascinated watching
me, and I keep telling them it's gonna be their special palace - not for
being very big or fancy, but for being built by their meowmie's own hands
and being one-of-a-kind. Pics will follow upon ...

We got home late yesterday afternoon.  I did something I'd never done
before, I got lost.  When we got home, I saw that the owners had expressed
their displeasure by unhooking my monitor from the system and pushing my
keyboard (more than once according to Jim) off of the desk I ...

Besides sending her on a cross-Atlantic visit to her boyfriend, Boyfriend,

The silly (sorry Boyfie, but she is just a teensy bit!) little girl jus

With a total of ten different cats on the island at different times
(never all of them at the same time), we get to observe some interesting
cat dynamics every summer. The cats include my Mir and Cal, my middle
sister's Linus (brown tabby) and Ronja (tortie), my niece's (eldest

After getting up at some forsaken hour to see Hubby off to the airport, I
later bought a paper to read. First time in a very long time, as I read them
on line normally. So there I was, on the sofa, just spread the paper open on
the other seat. 'Ooomph!' All of a sudden, Memphis ...

Here we are in Wilmington, N.C. (U;S.A.) with Pam S. and Rob onboard
Genesis.  Cinder has shown her approval of the catnip snakes Pam made for
her and Rosie.  While Cinder is 'nipped out, Rosie has reserved her
comments.

So just now I was sitting here reading the ng, and Dennis was on the
couch with Vino sacked out on his lap.  Dennis asks me for a huge

be impossible for him to get up.

Since Cheryl said we need it....
Dedicated to Catnipped with purrs for all the best.
Now I don't usually care for blues music but....

My  cat is black and is a bit savage like the previous cat that I had
before. I don't know why black cats are al anupprochable. You know why?

Ok, I'm tired but I've promised to make my grandson some fresh salsa now
that the tomatoes are getting ripe.
And for Victor's sake if nothing else I promise to leave the celery out.
But I think I'm forgetting something else I need for a good fresh salsa.

I had mentioned that Dulce Mae likes the spicy chees drippings from
my jalapeno steak hot pockets. Today I discovered another food she
like.
She ignores ham, milk and regular cheese unlike the boys.

Okay, this is female in nature although I did get a good laugh going with
John to the barber shop once (considering he's mostly bald on top) and the
man used a shop-vac on his head! LOL  Next trip is in September up to
Minneapolis and then we'll drive down to Iowa for our third show ...

You have a celebrity fan!  I forwarded some of your Shore Leave from The
