I want to thank everyone who offered purrs and condolences with my
Mom's passing. Mom was not someone who was crazy about pets of any
kind - but there is one story about her and a cat that shows what kind
of person she was.

Well i did ask for it from my GP in view of my mum but it does make me
feel ancient to get my new year new experience!
On the 13th of January I get my first mammogram!
I am going but the leaflet wasn't hugely informative apart from

Kitty Farmcat has been banging her feet on the floor for a few days.  It
suggests to me that she is is uncomfortable with her claws.
There is no way that I can trim her claws without help.
Phone Auntie June.  She came and we did it between us in a few minutes.

Bonnie is unlike any girl cat I've ever known, so now that I have two others
I'm seeing they will be the hurdle to get over to integrate Patches with
everyone else.  I thought the problem was Scarlett because the short times I
let Patches out to run everyone is cool with her but ...

A few weeks ago Sammy went wandering, and we're looking for his furry
orange butt. Then this month Cleopatra crossed the bridge. This hasn't

Last night we let the cats go out back for a little while, then brough

Have you found Tabitha yet?

I just returned from 12 days in Mexico, hanging out with my family. It

Today (on the other side of midnight) is the anniversary of my rape;

jill since you use NIN,do they take credit or debit cards, just wondering?

Last week, I ran out of the super-premium cat food that my kitties
usually eat, so I went to the mom & pop next door to get them some
canned Friskies, to tide them over until I could get to the store that
sells the good brand. It's hard for me to get there during the work

I got two yesterday and two more today, I wonder if I'll get any tomorrow. I
actually enjoy getting the late cards.

There's a pretty grey tabby cat who lives at our complex. He's been
here for a few years now, and he's come to be a good friend to me...
at first he'd wait until I went over by the lake and he'd come
slinking out of the bushes to say hello and get some scritches, and

I made a batch of baked (from frozen) skinny french fries.  They're like the
kind you can get at a fast food hamburger joint.  Crispy.  They were just
something for me to snack on.  Apparently I dropped one on the kitchen floor
as I was taking them off the baking sheet.  Next ...

Over at TacticalGamer.com is a nice thread with screenshots of people's
