Adoption Day
No, I haven' t added a new cat to my already full household. I just want
to mark the 17th anniversary of the day I brought Panther and the late Isadora home as 8 week old bitties. Thus I embarked on my ailurophilic adventure that I've enjoyed tremendously. =o) Since I didn't know what their respective birthdays were, we celebrated Adoption Day, June 3, instead. It was funny, at the shelter, Pan climbed right into my lap and started to purr and wash my face. I figured he was one kitten who really knew what side his bread was buttered on. Isadora was the shy one, and the first thing she did when I got them home and out of their carrier was to run and hide in the closet. But she turned out to be the friendly one, or at least the assertive one, and Panther has always been more shy and retiring. One of the first things Pan did that first day was to get himself stuck under the refrigerator, and it took me several minutes to discover where his frightened little mews were coming from. I successfully got him out of there--I can't remember how--but I was so frantic, I was ready to try lifting that refrigerator up off my helpless little baby. =o) So Congratulations dear Pan. I hope we'll celebrate year eighteen at this time in 2006. Melissa |

Congratulations!!!
We look for any excuse to party for the cats. If we don't have exact birthdates we have approximations based on the age when we got them and the vet's evaluations. We also observe the adoption days. In honor of Roxie, we also observe the Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival. (To explain... she was originally named Rokusaboro, after one of the people on Iron Chef, a favorite cooking show of ours. When we learned it meant "third son," we looked for a female equivalent and chose Ryoko Sakura, "first cherry blossom of spring," Roxie for short. She'll answer to both!) We're looking for something uniquely Russian for Odessa, and I don't know what else we can squeeze in for the Juvies. They like to tumble and wrassle and box, so I suppose maybe we Americans can give a new twist to Boxing Day. We go all out. We'll get a little bitty cake for Louie and me, special treats for the kids (usually some good high-octane catnip and Indian yogurt, which they devour) and some new toys for our babies, and have a little family party. Our in-laws think we're completely bats. Blessed be, Baha "Melissa Houle" wrote in message ... No, I haven' t added a new cat to my already full household.
