Cat Quotes "I love cats because I love my home and after awhile they become its visible soul." -- Jean Cocteau "Since each of us is blessed with only one life, why not live it with a cat?" -- Robert Stearns, American writer "Cleanliness in the cat world is usually a virtue put above godliness."

from Thea & Bono who have travelled north to their summer cottage (also known as my parents' place). Parents came here to Malmö to visit and the furries went back with them since they, of course won't settle for only 5-6 weeks of holidays like I have to .. The 10 hr car trip was put to good use...

Seen in a sig on a translator's newsgroup: Are you a Klingon, or is that a turtle on your head? -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki

I was relieved to discover I'm not the only nut who makes up ridiculous songs to sing to my cat. Here's another one I was singing this morning. This takes a little explanation. Probably the single most adorably cutest thing that Stinky does is this-- he's lying on a bed, or sofa, or his favorite...

I've never seen this but the first 5 minutes have been way cute. If you have FOX, movie called Cats and Dogs just started. (8pm EDT) -- Cheryl

I posted a photo of kitten No. 6 in Annie's photos in . I'm sure this one is a little girl. She looks like a shorthair to me. I'm wondering if my DD is confusing kitten fuzz with a longhair. Maybe the other kittens are not longhair after all? What do you think? Will they...

Can't remember if I sent this before, so I decided to send it anyway. There is a great online catalog for tshirts called ChoiceShirts, and they have lots of great cat themed shirts. Here is the LONG url: http://www.choiceshirts.com/store/productsearchgrid.asp?region=home-leftnav&f=1&c1=Cats and...

only 3 - that I took with my camera phone and are of poor quality. The first one is of Moe. http://community.webshots.com/photo/143920530/150825882OgdlqY -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington! (And proud of it,...

I'm sitting on a not-so-comfy chair that I dragged in from the kitchen so I could use the computer, because... you guessed it - a cat is curled up on my regular computer chair. And she looks so comfy I just couldn't disturb her. Joyce

Sweltering (for England) night last night at 21 degrees C, 69 F. Somehow I thought my three masters might scatter to cooler climes. No such luck :-( Bandit maintained his usual vigil lodged against my feet. Pericles kept station in his customary place beside my stomach. Snowball for some obscure...

Is there ever a point when you finally get used to your cat? I've had Betty for over a year now, and I haven't gotten used to it. Every day I spend with Betty feels like the very first day. When she strolls into the room, I'm just stunned by how beautiful and catlike she is. When I stroke her...

Poor Shamrock. Last week, there was a car accident on the road in front of my house that ended up in my yard. The car hit lost control and hopped the curb and was headed toward my living room window where Shamrock was sitting watching. I was watching also. In disbelief, sort of (the guy was able to...

LOL! How nice of the builders. I can just imagine Muddy thinking: Mine, all mine!!! Jazz's mama My three would be the same. Currently their favourite "free" litterbox locations are in my garden. Every molehill that appears is immediately squatted upon by a feline... Pity it doesn't get rid of...

I regret to inform you all that yesterday when I was speeding past my neighbors house, their cat darted out towards my bike and got caught under the back tired and was immdediately crushed. I didn't even really notice until my back tire jumped up. I had to be humane and finish the thing off because...

So the company that Dennis works for is refusing to renew our Thai visas. They say that Dennis works in Burma now and it's not their problem that we live in Thailand. Technically it's true but do they have to be such jerks about it? Anyway, my visa expires on Sunday, so yesterday I drove to the...

It was ungodly hot here yesterday -- 90 degrees and humid. I was waiting for a client (who never showed up -- I *hate* that!), all windows wide open, back door open to the screen door, with a small paper fan in my hand going full blast. Brando jumped up on the couch near me and meowed. Loudly. ...

Thanks for all the opinions on the ages and coats of the kittens. Guesses on ages range from 5 to 9 weeks, depending on if the eyes are changing color. Unanimous agreement that they are short hair from the best we can tell from the photo. DD (dear daughter) called this morning, but I was out...
