I think that there's something very special about a cat's touch.  We
know that petting a cat has been shown to reduce stress and calm the
heart.  But I also discovered that touching a cat can impart an
impression that will stay with you for a long time.

To all you wonderful people!
Yep I know it's early etc but I will be out tomorrow for most of it!
Especially for everone who has been following the Dave saga (and will
be yeah I don't know when it will end but soon- I am thinking about

I need some help.  I can't stop her.  Since 5 am she has not stopped.  I
can't take it she is going to give me a heart attack trying to keep up.
She does not even act like she had an operation yesterday.  She was like the
dead last night.  I kept touching her to make sure she was ...

Was moving around my music collection and thought you might enjoy this.  
Barnes and Barnes is Will from lost in space and some other guy.  I won't
leave it up long; don't wanna be a music pirate.

Every day I marvel at my great good fortune in having adopted these two. No
one could ask for a nicer pair of kitties. Both are absolute sweethearts,
easy keepers, gorgeous and loveable as can be. Billy gets such a crazy
expression on his face at times, like occasionally when I am ...

Neither of our cats respond to catnip. In fact, both seem to regard it
as noxious.  Tonight I discovered, quite by chance, Spock's drug of
choice - bleach.  We don't use much bleach because we have a septic
waste treatment and large quantities of bleach kills the septic and

The Christmas "spirits" around here have evidently been nipping at the
eggnog and are running around playing pranks.
There is a very large roast of beef in my refrigerator.  And yes I'm
grateful to have a large roast and enough family to enjoy it.  Even if none

I sent you and email but I'm not sure if you got it. I've mailed a krinkle

I'm so glad to have this darned computer working again.  I tapped into my
music files and have been playing all my favorite oldies as loud as I like
while reading all the posts and catching up on all the news.  Alex just came
into my room laughing that the cats have all gone out ...

Off to the hospital in the morning. Purrs to all the kitties and humans
to stay well. I'm pretty nervous finally but at least it will be all
done tomorrow at this time. Hopefully a text book surgery with no
trouble. See you all when I am up to computing again.

I managed to dodge all the invitations, and there were some really
tenacious inviters.  But all I wanted was a day to spend with my cats,
and that's what I got.
Called my dad, who wasn't home.  This is a good thing for the 'Peace on

We had a lovely Xmas lunch out which included Lois and Ken - and we took
pictures!!!!    Lois just sent me this Santa and Reindeer singing carol
which I hope you enjoy as much as we did.
Merry Xmas to you all and the furred ones.

It was on sale before Christmas so I bought the girls three small cans
of it for their stocking. I gave them 'chicken liver pate' yesterday
and 'seafood' today, and both were scarfed down in double quick time.
