THE "DEED" HAS BEEN "DUN!"
First of all, I must tell you that The Kitten Formerly Known As
"Destiny" (that is her legal name, the one she uses at the bank and with the IRS!) is now known as "Jazzi" -- as in Jazzicatkitten, Jazzigirl and Jazzipants! Now to the point. Several days ago, Jazzi let us know that the one thing in the whole world she wanted was a boyfriend -- and she wanted one NOW! We had not been expecting this subject to come up for several months yet, but there ws no mistaking her message. Our two boys sat around with quizzical (i.e., stupid!) expressions on their faces. "We know we should be doing something -- but what? What? WHAT?" Since her first (vocal) demand was made in the early afternoon, there wasn't a lot we could do about it then and there. We did, of course, call TED as soon as she made it crystal clear, and arranged to bring her in the following morning. (Dr. Moreland told us, with a faint smile in her voice, "She'll drive you crazy otherwise!") Now, you may not all agree wih this solution, but we feel that there are too many unwanted kittens "out there" as it is -- and adding 6 or 8 "in here" was not our desire. Enough on that subject -- for now. Her experiences with TED have, so far, been fairly happy ones, so she waltzed into her pet cage with no argument. Sandra took her in and everyone was so happy to see her, even the resident cats. She seems to be one of their very favorite patients. Meanwhile, "back at the ranch," THIS mom was feeling pretty darned miserable! It was so QUIET in the house -- no crashes, no breaking china, no fights with Gizzi or hisses from Baby! No streaks of ginger and white lightening down the hallway - just a few heartbroken sniffles from me! I've said it before, but the loss of innocence is a very sad thing to see! We brought her home that evening, still groggy and not too happy with any of us! Once again, I had a roommate -- who took me back some 40 years ago to my son's baby days! I kept waking up every few hours to make sure she was still breathing! Her incision was very small, but her whole beautiful tummy had been shaved! Still, a small price! She progressed beautifully, even though it took a few days before she regained her normal sunny disposition. She wasn't too interested in food, although that had been a Big Item on her little cat mind! But she has now regained her position in our cat hierarchy -- ruling Princess! So -- as usual, life goes on, here in Cat Country Purrs Renee in CA USA "Time spent with cats is never wasted." Colette "I've traveled a long way -- and some of the roads weren't paved!" Will Rogers "I am too blessed to be stressed" Anon "No Heaven will not ever Heaven be, unless my cats are there to welcome me." Unknown |

I'm sure all the cats would have been happy to send you soothing purrs. Here are some anyway, and some purrs for Jazzi, hoping she has recovered purrfectly by now. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |

oh wow, another Jazz!
My Jazz says sympathies to your Jazzi, but such is life. We are glad she came through with nothing more than a shaved tummy. The hair will grow back real fast. Hugs all around. I had to snicker when you described the 'boys' puzzled expressions. Heh.

I'm glad you got Jazzi spayed, purrs for her quick and easy recovery. But
why would you think that people wouldn't agree with having her fixed? I doubt you'd find any dissenters here! -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album "Renee Darvin" wrote in message ...

I doubt you'd find any dissenters here! -- That's what I was thinking. Why would anyone in here be against reducing the potential number of stray kitties needing homes? Purrs and hugs for you, Miss Jazzicat of Destiny, and the poor befuddled and confused boycats. Pam, Rob, and the NC nine |
