LOL! I had a feeling that was coming! The other thing I wondered was if you were going to take a big swig of Picante sauce, or if the Picante sauce and the eggnog and rootbeer were all going to end up in the same glass. (blearghh!) Poor kitties, all given a sugary brown shower by daddy! Nina is...

you have my sympathies! I've been known to do just that with a new four pint jug of milk and a bottle of ketchup (but not at the same time!) -- Sandra

Hi everyone. For those of you who enjoy Housecat Wisdom, I'm sorry I didn't post this sooner, but I've had some PC issues recently. This week Mr. Fleez discusses flaws in the scientific method. It's quite a clever article that has received some interesting praise. My editor said that it was...

Been too busy so far to send out my holiday cards, but they have sure been piling in, and it's a real treat! Makes me want to show them off, but nobody visits me! I'm thinking I'll get mine sent out by tomorrow at latest. Some will probably arrive after Christmas overseas.

My spiral card holder is full and I am starting on the wall brackets. And I know there are many more cards to come. I love them all. I really enjoy looking at them. And I like the stamp on Marina's card. Thanks! And happy Holidays, Everyone! -- CATherine

"badwilson" wrote in message ... I got your card, it's so cool! I just love the book in the back that says "1000 Cat Anecdotes". You couldn't have gotten a more appropriate card for RPCA :-) Glad you liked it! I was really pleased...

Thank you all so very much for your responses to my plea for purrs for Speckles. I'm overwhelmed. You are the kindest folks - I know your caring is genuine and is very much appreciated. I had hoped at a minimum that Speck would hold on at least through the holidays but at this point I doubt...

About a week ago, Ping darted into the bedroom while we were entering/leaving. We were afraid that he would make mincemeat of the bitties, but lo & behold, he just plays with them! So, on occasion, we let him in there to play with them. I was watching them this morning, and he just lays there...

Miss Violette, one of the long-time regulars on rec.pets.cats.community, is terribly ill and at the vet. There is concern that she might not be coming home. I'm hoping that it isn't already too late, but could all of you wonderful cat-loving folks please send Miss Violette your best "get better"...

After spending a little more than 6 months as a homecat, Harri recently decided that it is getting to be time for some car rides and walks again. Tonight Nancy and I decided to go out for ice cream (yes, the temp is below freezing, but ice cream is ice cream!). Harri took a perch on the bookcase...

I made some tags with ' Merry Chrissymouse' and a pic of Memphis on them. My son sees them and goes ' oh God. What IS that? You're mad!' Surely, I'm the sane one, aren't I?? lol Sandra

Little Boy sounds like SUCH a character!

I just read an article stating that laughing out loud is one of the best way to relieve stress. Thank you for the stress reliever, which I'm sure we can all use this time of year. -- Joy (still giggling) **Don't believe everything you think** "Mark Edwards" wrote in...

I finished my last final for the semester, yesterday afternoon. This morning I was able to lay in bed and watch Qui Gun Kit act as Merlin's personal trainer. He chased Merlin through the house, down the hall and into our bedroom. Later the two of them curled up on the bed. It was a four cat...

A new neighbour came around to discuss something earlier. She saw Lily. After looking at her, and then at HRFL who deigned to come and inspect her, she said that she wouldn't have cats with only one eye, and she though I was nuts to have them when there were so many other *more perfect looking*...
