Hey Tak, Massachusetts isn't that far from New Brunswick. YOu can give
Betty friends and help Kristy at the same time.

They do sound like lovely boys, but whenever someone has a cat within
1500 miles of me, your perception of the continent seems to shrink!

Oh, now you've got Betty started, and she's looking at me with huge,
earnest eyes and tugging on my wrist.

Hey, I"d be willing to chip in for the cost of gas, if Betty gets some
companions and Kristi gets peace of mind!

inspire those who may be now or in future "movers and shakers". Before too

I don't think that flying with your cats will be an option for you at all.
Not if you want them in the cabin with you. The airlines have a 1 pet per
passenger in the cabin rule, so you'd only be able to bring one with you.
Of course you could put them all in carriers and do the baggage compartment
thing, that would work especially since your flight wouldn't be all that
long. I'd never think of shipping Vino as baggage from Thailand to
Vancouver since it's about 16 hours in the air plus stop overs. But from
Florida to Colorado should be do-able. Of course the driving thing is
always a good option too. Good luck with your move :-)

That's a big change in scenery, going from Florida to Colorado! It's
like the opposite of Florida - high altitude, cool, dry, landlocked.
You actually need to use your lungs in order to breathe. Here at sea
level, I almost feel like I could get sufficient oxygen by just
keeping my nostrils open, the air is so thick.


My brother calls Florida "The Big Terrarium."

you have fro-curly nappy hair here, I guess it would become "very wavy"

you don't sweat when it gets hot there, which it does, but like CA
non-coastal temps, as in Sacramento, oven-like, not sweaty-sticky like here
high temps.

Yeah, I don't think the thinner air is a big deal either. I actually
like the consistency of air in Colorado better than here in
Massachusetts. When going to Colorado, I think you need to remember
to take a hat, because they don't have much in the way of clouds and
trees around those parts!

BTW: I still have that cute little video of you talking to Betty curled up
in her catseat. Have you made any more Betty video clips?

Great! I set up the web page the way I did hoping that people who
download and save the video. If I had embedded the video into a web
page, it's still actually fairly easy to save, but most people don't
seem to know how to do it (the user can use download utilities, check
their browser cache folders, find the link and make an anchor from it,
etc.)

I probably should take more videos of Betty, though I haven't. That
clip was actually my very first test of the video camera, and the only
time I used it on Betty. Other times, I used it for more conventional
things like birthday parties (my own, in fact), and weddings (not my
own, ah well).

Everyone is always ganging up on me! Besides, I'm not a highly
qualified catslave - I have less than a year of experience, and only
with one kitty.

And see what a good job she's done with your training!

I had to use those high altitude directions in El Pasta Texas, as the
place is at 4,000 ft. One difference I've noticed with humidity and
lack thereof: when I'm back in the land of dry, the skin on my hands
(front and back) peels off in sheets once per year. I don't miss that
part of being back in Idaho. I lived with skin lotion on my hands in
order to try to forestall the problem.

But Betty has been training you so well, and more cats would give her
more friends and you more buddies to share the bed with.

Pam S. also looking at Tak with pleading eyes.

Har. Don't get me started on "skin", Pam. Here slight tan year-round, good
skin tone on face, my gene-pool bequests few facial wrinkles. In MileHigh,
to go along with the straight, lank hair, in a few days facial skin appears
a strange off-paler, and wrinkles like the nearby Rockies, viewed from air,
appear around eye and mouth areas. Relatives keep saying, "Drink more water!
Carry water!" but I can't see that it improves things a lot,
appearance-wise.
OTOH, one of the other relatives, visiting from L.I.,N.Y., failed bigtime to
drink enough liquids (a chain smoker) and in a week ended up in the ER,
dehydrated.
