Can aferal cat get along with a new pup?  So far so good but I'm still
nervous.

Do any of your cats like to have their toes manicured?   Nikki does - hind
tootsies only please.
If she hears me using an emery board, she comes running to have her hind
claws rubbed a bit.

Otis snuggled the whole night last night, as he has most every night for
twelve years.
An hour out of bed, and Otis is circling.  Meowing, entreating,
complaining of utter dejected loneliness.  Pet me pet me pet me.  While

Licky is curled up in my arms purring this very minute, so it would
appear that I'm forgiven for chasing him around, shoving him into a
carrier, and taking him to That Place. He seems better, and has had
no more diarrhea episodes, nor have I seen him standing in the litter

My mom calls me that ALL the time!  (Me Too!)
Like when I was checking to see if she had finished all of her chicken
soup.  (Or when I begged for a belly rub right when she got out of the
shower)

Oldest grandson has asked if I'll cook tomorrow.  Its been a while since
I've done Sunday dinner and I'd like to do something different for me.
Now I love roast beef, but I always make a pot roast, or once or twice a
year pay a fortune and have a rib roast.  I do make tri-tips, ...

I have mentioned my friend Matt who has asked to be rehoused because
of his chronic epilepsy, which due to stress is out of control. At
last count he managed to get the council to agree he might have
priority becasue of his health problems and his landlady agreed to

Hi folks!  First things first - purrs to all who need them.
I'm using the computer at my parents' next door neighbors house.  Her
little black kitty, Fedder, came in to say "hi" to me a little while
ago :)  I sure do miss Persia and Peaches.

Just got back from TED. HRFL was very good and let Michael examine him
thoroughly.
It seems he's been bitten several times on the chest, front leg and
shoulder - all in all, in the words of TED "Your boy had a bit of a

Homeowner stated the cats just began breeding too fast to keep up
with.
40 cats were in one bedroom. On a limited map I found Bonham slightly
north and a bit east of Denton and a little more so north and east of

Damn. I'd already named his furry orange tuchas too.
Will turns out not only FIV+, but badly so. Apparently "viral load" is not
limited to human AIDS. He's not a well boy. Michelle will keep him in the big
cat-aids part of her house where he and his comrades will either be cared for

I'm asking on behalf of my Pooh ("Pooh-Be-Pooh-Bear").  She's going to be 15
in June.  She's got arthritis, which for the most part doesn't bother her
much... but every now and then, she'll go for a jump onto my bed and she
