Job finding purrs and thoughts so that we can purr and think kind thoughts for you to have your own bare kitten. BTW, women in their 40s are getting pregnant for the first time. Unless you've gone through menopause, you shouldn't give up. Pam S. who believes that all bare and furry kittens should be conceived in love and laughter and only to those families who truly want them. Thank you for those comforting words, Pam. No menopause here yet, but I'm just a bit wary that as my periods started fairly early (I seem to remember I was 12), that they might stop on the early side too, with all the side-effects that menopause brings... I didn't want babies earlier, but now I do. Maybe it's coz I've now got the man I want to have them with. -- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Christine in Vantaa, Finland (Europe) Email: christal63(at)yahoo(dot)com Photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 |

You send a silver spoon and cup set when the bare kitten is born, cards, $, and advice upon occasion. Then, if anything happens to Vicky and Joel, and none of their families are able or adequate to handling the baby, you take care of him/her. The odds of the later are very slight, and you get all the glory without having to worry (much) about all the responsibility. After baby yowie is born, you can save up your pennies and visit your godkittens and their family and post pictures of them. I like it more and more. Pam S. who thinks Adrian would be an excellent Godpaw and whose Godpaw and Maw for their bare kitties didn't do any of the above |

I gotta know what you mean when y'all talk about Franks "garters"? To me, a garter is the elastic band that a bride wears on her leg to her wedding (that gets taken off by the new hubby then the guy who catches the garter has to put it on the leg of the woman who caught the bouquet). Also, garter belts are the things that hold up the stockings ... is this what we are talking about? This confuses little 'ol me because usually the women wear the garter, and last I checked, Frank was no woman?! Thanks Dimwit Stacey |

The garter thing comes from when a coworker of mine came to visit me, and when she saw Frank she said, "Oh look, he's wearing a tuxedo and garters! What a kinky cat you have!" Frank has what looks like white socks on his back legs, and both are circled by a band of black. ;o) -- Marina |

Pam S. who's proud to be one of the Godmeowmies A bit difficult being a "Godpaw" when you're 12,000 miles away.:-) No its not. Godpaws and Godmeowmies are just extra special people who care about the barekitten and are happy to listen to me rambling on about him or her. Very much like we are all Hannah Eve's and Clementine's Godpaw & Godmeowmies. Sure, silver spoons, cards and the like are always welcome but the only real requirement is that you are concerned with the child (and the family's) welfare and offer what help you can when its needed. In days gone by, Godparents were there to raise the child if the parents became incapable. But these days I think a Godparent is effectively a family member that doens't have the pleasure of being related by blood. And all of you folks here (bar the trolls) are like family to me, so you have every right to consider yourself Godparents. Distance has nothing to do with it. Although perhaps a more appropriate term is Purrparents :-) Yowie |

Yowie!!!!!!! I just read in Catslaves some interesting new news about an impending delivery of a new type of kitten??????!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Stacey -- Stacey WooHoo! Congratulations, Yowie and Joel! We can all look forward to huddling obsessively over our puters in IM, like when Eve was born. Won't you feel better in labor knowing that people all over the world are waiting impatiently for its end result? :-P I hope everything goes perfectly smoothly for you. It's marvelous to know there's another new little catslave getting ready to join the party. ------ Krista |

... "Yowie" wrote in message ... "Stacey" wrote in message ... Yowie!!!!!!! I just read in Catslaves some interesting new news about an impending delivery of a new type of kitten??????!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Thanks everyone. Yes, it is true, I am currently carrying around a teensy eensy weensy barekitten. Calculations say I'll be carrying it until around April 12 next year, assuming it stays where it is and I don't lose it. I went for my first blood sucking session today - she took 5 vials! And obstetricians are impossible to get in my town despite having the best level of medical insurance, because the insurance industry has made it all but impossible for obstetricians to carry out their practice with liability insurance. The earliest I can get to see one is the 24th of September and thats only because somebody cancelled just before I rang today. And thats still no guarantee I'll actually see the guy on the day I made the appointment. I may be able to have labour in a private hospital, but the odds are good it will be a midwife rather than the obstetrician attending the birth. Well, on thebright side, women have been giving birth quite successfully without ever needing hospitals or obstetricians, we can only hope its a remarkably boring pregnancy. Yowie (terrified & excited all at the same time) I can understand that last remark. This is the first I learned of it, and your post took me on an emotional roller coaster. I'm thrilled for the two of you, and horrified that you have to wait so long to see an obstetrician. Physicians here are also having a bad time because of malpractice insurance. I have heard that a lot of women actually prefer a midwife for delivery, and as long as everything goes the way it should (and it usually does), that should be fine. Still, I can understand that it is scary not to be able to count on full medical support in case of need. I would hope that they're going to do a lot of testing with all that blood, and that if any problem were discovered, they would make sure you saw a doctor sooner. Anyway, I hope the whole pregnancy, and the labor, are routine. A couple on one of my other newsgroups just became grandparents for the first time. They were rather concerned, because their daughter-in-law was 40. Everything went fine, and she was only in labor for 3 hours. I wish the same sort of luck for you. Congratulations and all best wishes! 3 hours sounds like a good sort of time for labour. (Why does everyone regale you with 72 hour horror stories as soon as they find out you've got a bun in the oven?) My mother says if I came out any more quickly i would have hit the back wall. I'm hoping that its hereditary - although when I was 16 and terribly embarrassed about my body, my doctor grabbed my by my hips and told me what a fine baby making body I was growing, particularly my nice broad hips - perfect for bearing babies apparantly. At 16 I could have died from that description, but I"m hoping that, despite the extra layers of "insulation" and "cuddliness" I have developed since 16, the hips are still good baby bearing types.
