Woohoo!! I like it. If we can't kidnap him before then, we'll
definitely have to kidnap Steve in February. What do you think Lisa?
Can we wait until February to kidnap Steve, so that we can meet him? Do
you get the feeling that I'm rowdy and that Rob is a bad influence on
me, or is it that I'm a bad influence on him?

Pam S.

Ohhh, I'm seeing a plan forming.... Must mark calendar for next February.

Already, a Feeling Of Great Foreboding sweeps the Steve house. Cats
look at each other, and raise a quizzical whisker. Somewhere out in
the forest, a coyote groans. Elsewhere, there is the surreal sound of
cheese howling.

I look forward to actually getting to the next meeting.

Steve.

Oh, good. It wasn't just me who heard the call of wild cheese. It's
almost as lyrical as the sounds of mating zucchini. Then there are the
sweet dulcet tones of pickled beets. I could listen to food forever.

Why don't you also bug TJ, Polonca, Britta, Jill, Suz, Yowie, and our

Because each of them, with the possible exception of Polonca (in which
case, get another cat Polonca) have tried to integrate another cat into
their household and been informed by their owners that, no matter how
long they tried, no other cats were going to join them in human
ownership.

You, even though you acknowledge that Betty is needy, seems lonely, and
that another cat would probably work in your household, won't even try
to take care of your little girl and get her a friend. Sheesh, Tak.
Would you like it if Betty wouldn't let you have any friends except
her?

You're weirder
Helen Wheels, weird and proud.

I may be weird, but I really don't see myself being able to
substantially out-weird any of those six, especially the really far
out ones like Polonca and Britta.


OK, I'm jealous. I'm not weird enough to qualify in the top ten. I'm
SO DEPRESSED. I'll have to work on that weird thing.

Ahem... you, a lurker?? I don't think so!!

I usually lurk, but sometimes I do post, especially since Polonca said
that I should post, even when I didn't have a cat, and now I have a
cat, so there's more to talk about!

BTW, I don't think you're so weird. Though, maybe that just means I'm
also weird. Is a Massachusetts thing?

I guess I just characterized myself as "weird" because of my habit of
always having opinions that are unsubstantiated, without merit, and
just plain wrong.

I think Massachusettsians tend think a certain way - polls here always
seem to go the opposite way of the country as a whole.

Weeell, when I try to characterize Betty, the first words that come to
mind don't include "lonely". I would describe her as "surgically
attached to my lap". And oh, so soft!

I'm not 100% certain that Betty would accept another cat, though I
think it could work. Then again, she might not have been socialized
to other cats (she's obviously a possessive and human-oriented cat).
What kind of cat would you recommend as a friend? A cat like Soncek
would probably work.

Its the gentle coo of chocolates as they roam the fridge that warms the
cockles of my heart...

Are you calling me *normal*????

Feeling insulted,

Back in around 1973, when the Watergate scandal was hitting the news,
a lot of us had bumper stickers that said, "Don't blame me - I'm from
Massachusetts". That was a reference to the fact that in 1972 (the first
election I got to vote in), Richard Nixon defeated George McGovern by
a landslide. The only state McGovern took was Mass.

As for the gay marriage laws, let's hope Massachusetts isn't the
*opposite* of the rest of the country - maybe they're just ahead of
the rest of us!

Way to go, home state!!

Zucchini obviously have a short but intense mating season (maybe,
like Vulcans, they go into Ponn Farr?). That would explain why, come
late summer, all the zucchini turn ripe simultaneously.
