My diabetes has been giving me a really bad time
these past few days. I've been becoming hypoglycemic
in the afternoons and thank goodness DH is home
or I may have been in a lot of trouble Monday.

Had my second interview for the new job yesterday- it sounds amazing,
they have someone coming in 3 mornings a week to do the bulk of the

I stepped outside for a moment and when I started back in I saw
Maryweather lying dead under the back steps.  I can't bury her right now
because the reason I was headed back inside was that there were skunks
only a few feet away.  No visible injuries - I have no idea what killed

After I posted on Thursday about how well she was doing, she had a bit of an
off day on Friday.  She didn't really want to eat the expensive cat food,
nor the tuna, nor the beef mince.  So she didn't.  Boyfie got to hoover up

Hi.  I have never posted to this group before, but my wife Kyla has posted
much and you may have read her posts.  We have always had kitties and they
have been our guardian angels.
We have had some very special kitties over the years.  One of the most

You all remember the little red panda that was being fed by a mother cat
here in Holland ? They found him dead yesterday morning. He'd choked on the
milk, his trachea was filled with milk. What a tragic accident, especially
since he was in a very good condition otherwise :-(

rough night, so had a lie-in this morning. Nurse Waffles was in attendence.
She gently jumped up on Vernon's chest, curled up with her head under his
chin and *purred* her quiet purr. Paw immediately relaxed ...

Soon I will have a new toy with which to terrorize the cats - a Gibson RB
Deluxe Mastertone banjo. I start lessons next weekend.
Please purr that I am able to learn this instrument and that I rapidly
increase in skill.

Those with indoor/outdoor cats are all too familiar with that scene.

Chester's 12th purrday was almost lost.  His honourary 12th purrday (not
sure what the real day was) was the 19th of July.  Otis was 12.5 that day.
Chester is remains fluffy and cheerful and celebrated by waking us up at
4 AM today and settling in for a good loud leg groom by our ...
