Lots of purrs on the way for Sabra to breathe easier very soon. Sam
started coughing this afternoon for the first time since the end of
January. I had taken it on myself to try to reduce the dosage of
Flovent (steroids) that he's taking and that combined with nasty
thunderstorms last night apparently was just too much for his fragile
lungs. I gave him a couple of puffs of Albuterol and he seems to be
doing better tonight. I've gone back to two puffs of the Flovent twice
daily at least until he sees the vet at the end of March.

Purrs and gentle headbutts for Sabra as well as you.

Thank you, Julie.

Hope Sam starts doing better soon, too.

Good luck Marina and if I can be of any help let me know. Send me your
address (or do I have it from the holiday card list?) and I'll be happy
to send you the infant mask/chamber to see if Nikki will accept it.


If you have the holiday card list, you have my address. If you're
absolutely sure you don't need the mask, and it isn't too expensive to
send, I'd love to try it out. I suspect very much that Nikki won't
accept it. She is *not* a laidback kind of cat. ;o)

For me as a kid it was milk. I can remember having to sit at the
table until it was gone, and it would get so warm and stinky. I'd
"down" it just to get away from the table, then get sick. I still
can't drink a plain glass of milk.


As a teenager and as an adult, I greatly enjoy milk. Apparently, I went
through a phase at age 7 or 8 when I didn't.

That period coincided with a visit to family who had a hotel and
restaurant in Havana. As I keep having to remind the security clearance
people, Castro was off in the mountains at the time.

Anyway, La Rue 19 was a very nice restaurant, with excellent food and
service. When the waiters realized that we were the family of the
owners, we got especially good treatment.

One of my mother's rules was that I had to finish my milk before I could
have dessert. (cue Twilight Zone music) I kept thinking I'd finished my
milk, look back, and it had refilled.

"Drink your milk!"

"I _did_!"

WHOMP! "Stop lying!"

But whatever I did, the enchanted milk glass wouldn't empty. I sloshed
whenever I walked, and the slaps I got made me sound like a milkshake.

Eventually, I hunched over the milk glass, protecting it with both hands
and my face, ignoring the food. With the gentlest of touches, a waiter,
trained never to let a guest's glance go empty, reached down and tried
to pry my fingers loose.

It was at least a moral victory when my mother realized what had
happened. I suspect, however, I had drunk a quantity that would be
respectable for a hungry calf.

I used to hate milk with a passion when I was a kid too. Luckily my
mom also hated it so I wasn't forced to drink it. I think in the
first 30 years of my life I might have consumed less than 2 liters of
milk straight.
For some reason I have lately started to love it! It has to be
straight out of the carton from the fridge though. Unfortunately it
does a number on my tummy and I can't have too much of it. Probably
because my system isn't used to it from not having it for so long.

Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's
covered in fur!
