..... they found another rotten tooth dammit :(((( and I'm now an additional $420 in debt with at least another $thousand$ or so worth of repairs needed to save three teeth that I'd lose otherwise. I hate losing teeth, would rather be up to my eyeballs in debt than have to get any more yanked...

She's becoming much friendlier, but is getting pushy when it's feeding time. She may already eating at a dish, but as soon as you put kibble in another dish, she wants *that* kibble - I've taken to feeding her first, in the bathroom & shutting her in, then feeding the rest. She also loves...

The kittens are now just over four years old and since Ted (RB) left us, we have had no lap warmers; Spock likes to be admired from a distance and Persephone will only settle if draped over my shoulder or under the covers of our bed. Until today ... Today, for reasons I don't understand,...

I loved your card. It came today. You weren't kidding when you said you had trouble with the labels. Dave and Dot Gerecke's address was below mine on the label. -- Hugs and Purrs, Nan and the Furkids

For me... I'll be losing some teeth shortly, from long neglect for want of $, there is no saving them. On top of which I am deathly afraid of dentists! Too many bad experiences and needless loss of teeth due to their misjudgment. More than purrs I need someone to sit next to the chair and let...

The overseas catslaves cards made it into the mailbox this morning so they're on their way... I realise they'll probably get to their destinations some time in January, but better late than never! I had JUST enough stamps left in my drawer to get them all in the mail. US cards are still coming...

I'm nothing if not resourceful. Thinking of possible ways to help pay the dentist because in addition to what I've already paid for, I need one more extraction plus either two gold crowns or one crown and one root canal, or two extractions (three total) and a gold crown. In any event, it's big...

I have to put a sign up in our break room at work asking the cleaning crew (who speak no English) to not open the dish washer or turn off the dishwasher switch. Can you tell me if this is a fair translation (I used the babelfish web site to get this)? English: Please do not open the dishwasher...

I have to agree that the Fancy Fease is the least of the problems. Most cats do much better on Fancy Feast because it is better quality food without all the fillers. My mother has a cat with the same problem and I can tell you it's more of a seasonal allergy type reaction and an emotional...

My MIL took the kids so that Fred and I could have dinner and go to a concert last night. Yeah! I visited the cheese monger and got some gourmet cheese, crackers, and a sour cherry lemon compote that was spectacular with the goat cheese. Yum. We had other nibblies and Fred enjoyed a nice...

Well, I've got another one for the collection - not the best one yet but not bad ... http://tinyurl.com/y9am59 I made them wait while I went to get the camera and they weren't too happy with me! I think I pointed out last time that I posted this album that in all but one picture, Chester is...

I've been participating on this ng since 1999, and yet I don't feel that there is anyone here who likes me very much, or values my contributions. I don't know why that would be, though - I'm a genuine cat-lover, I respond to other people's posts, I have a good sense of humor, and I respect...

Well, there's only one bad thing I can say about this job, and that's the long commute (an hour and a half each way). But you know what? It's not as bad as the last job which had a bit shorter commute. I've found that with this job, I'm loving my work and co-workers so much that my mood...

I am so sorry, Lee wrote in message ... The black cat came back. I got some wet food, and started outside with it. Frank came out of nowhere, ran between my legs and out the door. He chased the black cat, and it...

thought I better introduce ourselves as I seem to not be able to return to lurk mode. I live with DH and six cats in a very small town of about two hundred. I need to say up front that I don't always get things posted correctly due to my using a screen reader that is cantankerous at times. I...

In the last couple of weeks Snoopy has decided to sleep on my pillow, it's funny hearing her purrs through the air and through the pillow, it's like she's purring in surround sound. :-) -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your...
