my mother died.  The caregiver was here from the agency and the hospice
nurse.  Then the funeral director.  I made all the arrangements.

I got up this morning, stumbled in the kitchen to fix a Coke (again,
the first beverage of the day)
and brought it into the den. Boots and Bosley were sitting in the
middle of the floor staring at

The news is not good.  She's been moved to ICU.  Her lungs are filling with
fluid.  Pneumonia, most likely.

Because I wasn't hungry last night, the kittens have decided I must be
sick. So they went to bed with me and cuddled up close.
Every time I woke up (due to tails brushing my face or whiskers up my
nose). Brother and Sister were both in my face - "Are you okay? Are

While my company was here, I moved to the office on a twin size air
mattress.  It was new and, on the second night, I felt a tugging on the tag
on the side.  Suddenly, there was a swish and a large hiss and mine not so
skinny body was laying flat on my back on the floor.  I ...

I have the hospital information.  I spoke to the nurse and got approval so I
ordered the "breathing kitty" to be delivered to her.  For those of you who

He's a nice hoomie and gives all of us scritches and lovins and
cuddles.
He took care of us when Meowmie abandoned us for Fangsgiving and gave

OK, all you top cats and world renowned felines, the humans in Merika are
having what they call Thanksgiving.  Along with good eats like ham and
turkey, they say things that they are thankful for, like ham and turkey.  So
what are you thankful for?

I know where she is.  She's behind my woodburning stove.  It's in a small
brickbuilt inglenook fireplace with about 8 inches either side and similar
at the back.
It's cold here, it's taken all day to warm up the room to 68F which isn't

I have a neighbor, a nice enough lady with a teenage daughter and a
young son, who are perpetually on the edge of destitution.  That's

She finally "killed" that last furry toy mousie I had given her and it
vanished into the ether as they are wont to do.  I've been a tad busy this
past week what with the funeral and my brothers here disrupting things.  She
