radiologist's report yet, there seemed to be no sinister denser spots onthe...

Shadow has issues by
Yowie
Even after her second "spaying", Shadow still caterwails all night. This is
*not* making her a popular cat with Joel. She also flatly refuses to use the
litterboxes, much preferring the kitchen - right at the place where you'd
stand when working at the sink. This does exactly nothing to increase...

Shmogg memorial ear piercing update by
Yowie
long
The peircing in my ear was still giving me grief. Joel dragged me off to his
tattoo shop as they also do peircings to get some advice. First of all, I
got my ear pierced in a 'difficult' place (there are many 'standard'
non-lobe peircing places on the ear. Mine isn't one of the standard...

Just to fill you in on the Feral Cats At Work issue, I work at a steel mill.
The steel mill is bigger than 3 suburbs (feel free to look up a map of
Wollongong, you'll see the steelworks and associated services just to the
south of the town). There are *always* feral cats around here,...

begging, cajoling, wining, whimpering, doing the cute, doing the pathetic...

Cards will be late by
Yowie
Due to various issues, none too serious by their own, but all together a bit
overwhelming, I haven't managed to get the cards off this year, and doubt
I'll manage it before the 24th. So please forgive me if you get a "Happy New
Year" card instead.

Apologies to group, especially Pat by
Yowie
Sorry folks, its been along day and I just sort of got snarky. I cancelled
the message that I sent, but it probably got through to some news providers
anyway.
Just wanted to say sorry for being bitchy, particular to Pat. I hope the
spider bite doesn't cause you too much suffering.

Pickle is mean by

Shadow has a potty mouth, and Suki isn't the brightest, but I had no idea
that Pickle was a mean cat. I've now seen with my own eyes how he torments
the other two. Suki I guess tolerates it - she's never known life without
Pickle and thats just 'how it is', but Pickle makes life difficult for...
