Dot and Buster are doing fine, and can be quite cute together. Dot's acne and swelling went away after her course of antibiotics. She just gets an occasional pimple now and then, and her jaw is soft and svelte. That's good news! Buster's decided that his new job is putting a fang mark on each of my books. He occasionally likes to whap Dot's tail and run away. Except Dot never notices that he does this. He also likes to bring his toys to Dot, so that he has an audience to watch him play. Dot watches him suspiciously. Cats are so weird. In the morning, Dot and Buster have an ear washing ritual, where they take turns putting their heads down to get the other to wash their ears. It usually ends after a couple of minutes with Buster biting Dot on the neck, Dot whacking Buster, and Buster running away. I think that in time, as Buster grows up, these two will end up becoming good friends. It sounds to me like this has already happened. They're doing friendship feline-style, which means they will whack each other periodically. Just goes with the territory. I'm glad there is peace in your house, finally! And good luck with your new sideline. Maybe it will become a full-time occupation. Joyce |

I hope you are having fun! |

Tak is such a nice person and very quiet about himself; he teaches at Harvard no less!! You can see pictures of him, Dot and Buster as well as Suz's cat Spicy on www.weltonfamily.net at Charleen's trip. I go to New England twice a year to visit my mother and daughters and when I can get together with Tak and Suz and the felines. They are all good friends. Also you can view a beautiful pictorial tribute to Mr. Pumpkin created by our roommate Larry. Charleen Aggie Marble, Victor Velcro The Spirit of Mr. Pumpkin St. Cloud, Florida USA Oi! Harvard! Tak you sly boy I love seeing the kitties! Spicey has alternate toes! I never realized that before. Dot and Buster look very healthy and sleek! Thanks for sharing. |

Well, at least they're not arguing all the time like they used to. It's an ongoing process, and I definitely see potential there for them to form a bond. |

Dot's not a young girl, and it takes her a while to warm up to certain situations, if they don't involve laps or treats. |

Dot and Buster look like they are doing very well, and it sounds like they are becoming fast friends. The whacking is part of a cat friendship. Spicey is so cute. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

Brains and beauty (inner as well as outer) I knew Tak was smart, but Harvard is pretty impressive. Then you toss in the Dot and Buster factor. . . no wonder he hides his light under a bushel. I loved seeing Tak, Dot, and Buster and am impressed with your photos of them. I'm also impressed with MCG's calico cousin, Spicy. MCG looks a lot like her. I tried the name out on MCG and got her usual, "OMG, can't you just leave it be?" glare. Fascinating cat, MCG, she has a lot of depth to her personality. Last but not least, I cried while watching the tribute to Mr Pumpkin. He was an incredible little guy, wasn't he? Does your friend who made the tribute hire out? I can't afford him but there are those who would want that kind of talent for their lost owners. Pam S. |
