children.
Thank goodness for my friend, June.  She phoned me tonight, she will feed

...the fear being Kumani's, the loathing being Tyche's.
Sisters went to the vet today.  Kumani was so scared she peed herself.
Tyche was so angry about her sister's terror that she spent Kumani's
examination circling the office, growling and snarling.  At her turn,

I don't know what it is with Miss Chloe, but she's been pulling the fur out
of the inside of her back legs.  I see no signs of skin allergy, no redness,
no itching, no fleas (we're Advantage users), but when she gets nervous or

him some, too.

Stories that is.

(local organic farm I shop in often) who died a while back. Well, in
this week's email newsletter, Carol Ann announced the farm had been

cougar or caracal, at Percy Warner Park in Nashville, Tennessee.  The
park is 2,680 acres in size, partly wooded, and is on the outskirts of
the city.  The caracal is an African variety of the lynx, generally in

I was warn and sunny here today and the doors to the enclosed porches were
open. Samwise got left on the front porch when DH went to work. I can home

Cinnamon always wants to go out and went to the front door. I paused there

My babies are busily exploring their new home, and we are a
family again!  I moved to Arizona on October 30th, having
boarded the cats for the previous three days to spare them
the chaos of the move.  We then drove from California to

Boy do we ever have boxes.  And strips of cardboard.  And packing stuff.
Should keep the cats busy all night.
The reason we have boxes and cardboard, yesterday we had new carpet put into
two bedrooms, and this morning I headed off to IKEA to pick up some basic
