Thanks to everyone who remembered Bandit's ordeal of an operation on his
eyes due on the 15th. My ISP's newsgroup service has been down all week so I
couldn't report at the time, but I'm pleased to say the purrs worked!
He was away for a long day, 9am until 6pm, and was dealt with ...

Now, suddenly, I have only 6 posts showing in rpca. That's weird since a few
hours ago I still had 2k plus.
I guess that has solved my prob re worrying about having time to respond to
purrs and prayers.  They are all gone.

Weeble thanks everyone for their birthday wishes!  He says "I is Fore!!!"
and waves his tail!
He spent the day on the back porch, napping, and occasionally playing with a
milk ring in the dining room/living room area.  No treats were offered, as

Out of the blue I started playing a game of bubbels and got an amazing
(or so I thought) low score of 18,590. I went looking at the archives
and found the following from Britta, who I think is still the reigning

Until today, I hadn't downloaded any new messages in the cat groups
for almost a week because of a couple of posts to two different
groups.  One about a cat torture video, and another about a kitten
drowning.  Needless to say I didn't click on either link.  I'm well

Bucky has never really liked to be picked up and cuddled. Slowly, but
surely he tolerates it *just a little*.
But I think I've found a way to keep cuddling him...
When I picked him up this morning, I gave him head skritches by rubbing my

From a local newspaper today:
"A license renewal form mailed to pet owners by Holladay City seems to be
saying that a lifetime license for spayed or neutered senior citizens
costs only $15."     What a deal!   MLB

I've sewn about 5 costumes for Burning man.  It was qutie an adventure
since the last time i'd sewn something was when I was ten.
I got a cheap sewing machine from Target and was able to sew most of
the items.

Minke does not seem very happy.  He rarely remembers who I am, tends
to run away.  I have to make friends with him afresh most times I see
him.  He even forgets Liz sometimes.
  He has had a bad year because we have had a lot of work done on the

Buster likes to perform experiments on me while I'm asleep:
Buster: "I wonder if my nose can fit up daddy's nose?"
Me: "Snort, ugh."
Buster: "Daddy is still asleep, but if I go under the covers and

Yoda is at the vets right now having his eye sewn shut. They're going
to medicate the eye, pull the third eyelid over the eye, and then the
outer lid, and leave it that way for 2 weeks to heal.
On one hand I'm really encouraged that someone seems to actually know

To read everything, I have 4063 unread posts in the group.
I can only offer purrs and prayers to all who need them that I have missed
and wish I had more time.
I hate having to go to work, it interferes with my life ;-)
