Carrie has a clean bill of health! The vet feared that her bruising might have been caused by a specific type of tumour, and took tissue samples for analysis. Nothing. It was purely bruising. She spends a lot of time on one windowsill, and might have fallen in a tussle with Bertie- we've come...

Letter from TED today: the very low white cell count in his first set of blood tests was an anomaly - the second set were just fine, and apparently his diabetes is very well managed. I just hope I get as good news as that for Carrie; she goes in tomorrow to have her incision checked up. Cathi

Well, Kayla is home from her two weeks of summer camp. Obedience training and sheep herding. I must say she is doing very well. Part of her training is learning to obey no and off commands. For the cats part, she and Molly are doing well together. Molly is learning to go easy on the sudden...

Well, I just got my grades and my math teacher gave me an U for unsatisfactory work. In a way, I earned that U, as I told him that his idea of teaching stank; if I wanted to know more about nude beaches in Europe, strip clubs, and Shania Twain I'd look them up on the internet; teaching dyslexic...

Well, Xoxo is now a geezer. Officially. We got a mailing from TED saying that now that he's over 7 years old (that's an estimate, he's probably closer to 8 or 9), it's time for him to have an annual Senior Wellness Exam. The mailing included a brochure with all kinds of information regarding the...

Hi all, Well, the roll of film containing the last pictures of Panther came back from the developer, today, and it's been bittersweet, looking at them. But I've made a small memorial photo album so that interested parties may see them...

I got the cats a new luxury cat tree. It consists of two poles with a 'loft' between, and I added a nest to the right-hand pole. Pictures of the creation, and Miranda enjoying it, starting here (7 pics): http://tinyurl.com/nf9qt -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and...

Hi everyone, My petition is really going well, and great news I have a newspaper interested in the story. They want to have a press release though and I am unsure about what I should include in it. Would anyone with experience please be able to help out with this? I am thrilled as many locals...

Hooray for kitty support! They know they're needed. (And so do we.) Purrs from us for a better day tomorrow. Cantate and 5 (plus wags and licks from Joy)

There's a young Starling right outside the window and it's a young one, cheeping and scratching around the pine needles and stuff for bugs and worms. It's a talkative bird, too, yak, yak yak; even got Peaches chirping!. Persia is staring out the window as though someone glued her butt to the...

Ok, I know Tuffty probably isn't reading this but I've been out umpteen times today calling the furry rascal to come home and I'm running out of places to look. So! Tuffty I don't care if the people down the road had smoked salmon for lunch and you just followed your nose, or the people over the...

Much good wishes would be appreciated... Tomorrow (Thurs), I have my Chemistry A'level practical exam. Eeep. The last time I took an exam was in 1993. The last time I sat an A'level, was 1990. I've been plugging away at this at evening classes for the last year. Then, after the exam is over, I...

Don't ask me why, I don't know why. I'm sitting here at my desk and "Ellen" is on the TV. She is showing scenes from when she was in New Orleans last week and just now had a scene of her talking at the Tulane University Class of 2006 graduation ceremony (students took classes in other cities, but...
