Wed. Annie had her second round of chemo.  There's good/bad news.  The

wants her to come in weekly for the next 2 weeks and get a shot that

Last night I got up at 3 am to pee.  When I got back in bed, Vino

drifting off to sleep again, I involuntarily made this high pitched sigh
in the back of my throat.  A few seconds later, Vino made the exact same

I tried to take a picture of Caliban in one of his frequent sleeping
spots, hanging over my shoulder, but my arm is too short, so the
proportions look very weird. Also, he's a ham, so he had to turn and
look into the camera when I shot the pics, but you can just make out his

I hope and pray that none of our kitties had any of the toxic food that is
being recalled, or if they did, they were not harmed beyond repair. I

Well, I'm a  trained soprano, and I can hit some of those notes with

I know it's been a while since I posted - seems like every time I do lately
it gets pretty much ignored (did I get kill-filed by everyone for something
I wrote???)  But since I really miss my rpca friends, I figured I'd give it
one more try.  So, here's a story of feline bravery ...

I just got to dump my old dial-up internet connection. Now I can
*finally* see the short videos & games that you all always talk about!
First one I tried was "Cat Herding" (thanks for the link!). Priceless!

so that other cats may benefit from our experience.  Imp and I were
CATNAPPED a while back, and tonight Meowmie left on her compewter so I

One of Quinn's favorite games is mock fear, e.g. seeing something or
somebody and, tail up, taking off at full speed.  Well, this morning
when I opened the backdoor he did just that, except he failed to
