I'm enjoying reading these updates.Â* Thanks, Lesley!Â* Any chance of any
pics of the black cat?

Â* It seems "George" (Yes they named him)now the weather is warmer had
reverted to spending most of his time outside although he shows up
for food. Crostin says he appears from nowhere as soon as he goes
outside with the plate, which suggests to me he's nearby and knows
when his mealtime is.Â* When it's cold, Crostin leaves the function
room window open just enough George can get in and leaves a pile of
old towels under the bar.Â* He's not seen George in there but he often
finds the towels have been rearranged in the morning suggesting
George comes in when the place is quiet for a warm sleep then as soon
as he hears people moving around in the morning he heads off again.

I think it's sweet!Â* Please tell Crostin to say hello to George for me
if he sees him.

Lesley, it looks like you and I are the last holdouts here on RPCA
usenet.Â* Did everyone flee to Facebook?Â* Sorry, I tried it (again) but
just don't like it.Â* Given the recent hacking info I will not jump on
that bandwagon again.Â* Zuckerberg is backpeddling his way through
those hearings, as if data mining and the need for online security was
a huge surprise.Â* ********!

Buffy is currently grooming herself in a puddle of sunshine after
batting a golf ball around the living room for a while.

I'm still here, although I don't post a lot.

Pickles is very sedentary, as she's getting on in years.Â* Koala could
use a kitten to play with, but I'm not sure either Pickles nor I could
handle that.Â* However, thanks to a friend, Koala has a couple of new
toys that are keeping him amused part of the time.Â* They (the toys)
probably have names, but I don't know them.Â* One has a weighted base,
with a curved "pole" sticking up.Â* A "spider" is attached to a string
hanging from the "pole".Â* The base contains a magnet, so if you start
the spider swinging, for a long time it will keep moving.Â* The other is
about 8 inches around, with a solid top and bottom and three or four
holes in the sides.Â* There is a toy mouse inside each hole.Â* The mice
can be pulled out, but they are still attached.


Joy, I'm glad you're still here. I like hearing about Pickles and
Koala. I definitely understand your reluctance to introduce another
kitten into the mix! It's nice to hear those toys your friend gave you
are being enjoyed.

Buffy is still crazy about golf balls. When she wants to play she bats
them all over the carpeted living room. I can only imagine the racket
they'd make rolling on hardwood floors.

The thing about Buffy is, I *know* she plays all by herself during the
night. I find her toys rearranged in the morning. I've got a pretty
good memory for what toys are on the floor. A couple of days ago she
was after a furry toy on the fireplace hearth. It was a toy she'd
ripped to pieces when she first came to live here. I thought it was
long gone but she'd hidden it. She brought it out and was playing with
it during the night. She left it on the fireplace hearth. I swear, it
was not there when we went to bed.

Cats are fascinating.
