Walkies OT
I have to go walkies three times a week for about half an hour a time. My
blood tests came back and my colestral was up, so guess it is a bit of dieting also, I am the original slug I am ashamed to say and realise that the lack of exercise has probably contributed to my condition. Am just back from a half an hour march, shepherded by DH and am exhausted. It was hard to get away from Fluff who was determined to accompany us, in the end I locked her inside. When I am more accustomed to my marches I'll write about the cats I meet - there was an attractive Siamese this morning. Bev -- The e-mail of the species is more deadly than the mail. |

Glad you're exercising for your health - I know what you mean about it being hard to get moving. And if you've always had good health, it can be a big shock. After menopause everything goes to hell. Whenever I take a walk in my neighborhood, Smudge comes with me. I don't go that far, though. Are you worried that Fluffy will end up getting lost if she walks with you?

I go for walkies almost every day and I've met a few very sweet friendly cats... I make a point of walking past the one house because it has a whole FAMILY of outdoor cats who are desperately hungry for attention, poor babies. They have shelter (a whole bunch of carriers with blankets draped over them on the front porch), and food and water left out, and they seem to be healthy (shiny coats and no sign of fleas), but tjhey obviously don't get a lot of loving... at first it was just the one kitty who came for petting - a gorgeous tortoiseshelly tabby who is super-friendly - and everyone else ran away or hung back, but now I have THREE of them coming when I call. The torty and a pale apricot ginger kitty circle my legs purring their heads off, and Mamakitty (a very beatup grey tabby) sits up on the fence and watches. Last time she even slunk up to me for a quick scritch and then she went back to the fence post! The other three cats aren't interested in affection, but last time they lay around in the sun watching me, and I suspect that if I keep up the regular visits, one of these days I'll have ALL of them circling my legs... I just hope that they've all been spayed/fixed, or that house is going to end up with a whole COLONY living in the front yard! |

I almost wish they would... the little tabby is the most gorgeous cat I've seen in a month of sundays - regular grey tabby with a brush of russet along its back and around its ears, as well as being the friendliest. The cream would be gorgeous too if it had a bath and a good brushup - after you pet it your hands are FILTHY (but that's to be expected in a cat that lives/sleeps outside...) The shy ones are all cuties too. Anyway, they could follow me down the street to home if they really wanted, but they'd have a bit of trouble picking my apartment out of the other ninety :P And there's already a pretty little grey tabby hanging out in the bushes by the lake. I'm not sure if it has a home and just likes it there, or if it LIVES wild... it comes running for pettings if it's around when I go out there. |

Best wishes and lots of health purrs, Polonca and Soncek I think I mentioned this here before, but on my last and far too long ago trip to Europe, a friend travelling with me claimed that some people go to Europe for the historical buildings, museums, scenery etc., but I went there to look at cats. This was something of an exaggeration - I enjoyed a lot of historical buildings etc., but I also enjoyed looking at cats, and Europe has a lot of them, too. I think it was a different friend who said (on watching me trying to coax a rather rough-looking cat close enough for skritches) something along the lines of 'You can't even tell an attractive cat from an ugly one. Do you really think that's a nice-looking animal???' Cheryl |

Cheryl Like you Cheryl, I love looking at cats, I don't care if they are rough looking, they are all beautiful to me I've made friends with cats wherever we have travelled, Ireland, met a beauty there, found a deaf white cat sunning itself in Hawaii, in Russia a shabby mog near the hotel, in England an elderly tabby that lived at the house exchangers house. He was the love of their lives and you can imagine my consternation when he failed to appear for three days!!! Seems he didn't fancy the new tenants and was collecting his meals from a neighbour. phew, she might have told me lol. Eventually he forgave us and landed on the bed one night and spent the night in the middle of the bed. We slept around him, we wanted to stay in his good books. Bev |
