In brief, over the weekend, Cleo had to go to the Emergency vet because I thought she was having a fit, but it seems that my quiet, unassuming girl had an abscess in her mouth which burst. It must have been agony for her. I was in the study when I heard a scream of pain from a cat. When I rushed...

I've been promising to introduce myself more officially so here goes! My best friend and husband David and I share our lives with 5 lovely masters--Clover, Hailey, Gollum, Linden, and Sophie. We live in a beautiful, semi-rural area of Northern California near the redwoods--about 2 hours north...

Nocturne has a new favourite pasttime...going for strolls up and down the hallway outside our apartment. It's weird in that she is comfortable enough to roly-poly in the middle of the hall. Usually she does not like "Strange" places. Mostly, though, she trots alongside whoever of us is walking...

My mom's cat is unlike any other. The breast meat isn't dried out, requiring cupfuls of gravy to taste good, but moist and flavorful. I've been watching her make roast cat for years. Finally a few years ago she let me make it, giving instructions the entire time. Mom's method is to buy the best...

Here's my favourite: Skin and gut a cat. Clean it thoroughly and leave it in heavily salted water the whole night to get rid of bad smells. On the next day cut it into 6 pieces, dry it, coat it in flour mixed with dried parsley greens, thyme and mint. Use teaspoon of each of thyme and mint, two...

Charleen and I were talking on Saturday evening and we've come up with an idea. :o) She mentioned that she has met several catslaves who live in the Florida area. I've met several catslaves who live in the DC area. We were thinking, as the idea has been muted several times, of perhaps organising a...

Did Nanki-Poo get his get well card that Mosey and I wrote him? I guess I could've/should've sent this to e-mail, but my Outlook is being a poo poo head again... Luv Kyla

This is for real as of today, from sources near Carol Barbee executive producer. SciFi is looking at picking up the continuing series (it would HAVE to be cheaper than developing their own) and CW. If you love Jericho, send a short note or card telling them. This really can work because the...

foot-in-mouth correction: her name is Rianna. No B. She was safely trapped two nights ago. the Prophet Jeff called to confirm it and she is safe. She will be returning to her original foster-mama with her brother Squeak; Rianna, unfortunately, will have to be crated for a sequestering period, now...

Hi All, I've been more of a lurker than a poster for the past three months and am just now trying to "get back in the groove." It was a difficult Jan. and Feb. and I was either too busy to participate, or too depressed to care. I was in the hospital, in and out, most of Dec. and Jan.,...

DH just told me that the postage is going up by one cent tomorrow, March 12. in the USA. So he's ordering some stamps online, with the xtra 1 cent stamps to go along with it. Just wanted you to know Hug Kyla

Okay in London we never get anything like the extreme weather everyone in the States gets but we have been warned of snow and storms for the Easter weekend and they're starting to hit us now, It's really windy outside and dumping rain. Dunzi loves this. She is on her perch by the bedroom window...

I had a touch of flu this week. It started on Monday with a sore throat and got progressively worse until, by Wednesday, I had to leave work early. I got home around 5 PM, had some food, and at 6, went to bed. Slept until 10pm. Then I was up for a few hours, went back to bed around 3, and got up at...

I love to kiss my 4 kitties on the top of their heads each day, especially in the morning and before bed, when I say good night to them. But one of these days I'll learn not to put my Chapstick on my lips first... cat hair is hard to get rid of ;) I also, each day, put my hand gently on top of...

I just couldn't resist posting this. Retirement Planning If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00. With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

I finally got both cards written and am sending them to you in Thursday's mail. I included the one to your Mom in the same envelope, no confetti or the other thing we mentioned in our e-mail :) Ping me when you get your cards. They were written with love and I apologize for not getting them out...

Ed was a menber of the family. He loved us all unconditionally and a tragic accident caused by my brother took him from us. I think about him every day. See my blog for additional information. http://scottsalberg.blogspot.com/
