Many purrs coming up for Oberon. Poor guy, will he lose all his fur
during chemo?

Interesting question - I have no idea! I guess we'll find out.

Well, if he does, I guess we can all chip in with some fur from our cats to
make him a little cancer survivor full body wig ;-) It would be so
colourful with a mixture of fur from all our cats.

I was just thinking Kitty Wig. BTW, we've been teasing Rob about
rogaine, toupees, and kitty wigs as he still has a little bald area on
the top of his head, right at the hairline. It looks like a two inch
wide U.

Britta, that merited a BW! I actually had a mouthful of tea when I read
that, and almost spewed it.

Oberon would be the Uber Calico with all the different colors he could
get!

I could certainly contribute a lot of fur - I've been saving the fur from
brushing Smudge for a few years, and now have a quart-sized plastic bag
filled with the stuff. (You may ask, why am I doing this? I have this
weird idea of getting the stuff cleaned, carded and spun, so I can "make"
something with it. Ahem... OK, it's weird, I admit it.)

I used to know someone who did spin cat fur into yarn
for weaving. Looked like the ultimate angora fabric
when it was done.

Ooooo! That sounds wonderful. But how many years did it take to
amass enough fur to produce enough yarn to actually *weave* anything??
(Or, how many cats did this person have, LOL?)

I just heard the news from my friend about her kitty Oberon, who has
been very sick. Here's the email she sent me:

This will come as no surprise - Obe has cancer. He has early
low-grade lympho-sarcoma in the intestine. Luckily, it is a very
treatable cancer, and he should tolerate the chemo very well. He
should be able to live a very good life with this, anywhere from
about 6 months to about 3 years. Because the liver is not involved,
he has a good chance, but it will be impossible to know until the
treatments get going. He goes in Monday for his first chemo, because
even though he is eating, he is not processing the food. Please
keep good thoughts for him.


Joyce

Poor baby. Good thoughts and purrs on their way.

At this time of year, I feel the cats are shedding so much you could knit
one new cat per day. ;o)

There have been stories in the newspaper about a woman who knits stuff from
dog and cat hair here in Finland. There's another one who makes clothes from
fish skin. I bet the cats would love a person wearing those. ;o)

Last time I saw a picture of William Shatner, he appeared to have a
Tribble sitting on top of his head.

There is also a woman in Vancouver who makes clothes from salmon skin. She
has a very fancy boutique and a vest made from salmon skin is several
thousand dollars. Looks neat though.

John F. Eldredge had some very interesting
things to say about Oberon - UPDATE:

Last time I saw a picture of William Shatner, he appeared to have a
Tribble sitting on top of his head.

That toupee is pretty bad, isn't it? [I think a tribble is cuter,
though.] :-)

BTW, I'm occasionally seeing a very amusing Priceline commercial in
which Shatner is being let go, and guess who's replacing him?

Yeah, I see that commercial all the time.....and the replacement doesn't
look so good, either. But the cam doesn't zoom in on *his* face. The two of
them must be hard up for $.

Where was the beverage warning on that one?
