The "April GOTCHA!" is my dad's name for an April snowstorm, particularly one that hits after the switch to daylight-savings, after the daffodils are up, and after we've had a few balmy days to lull us into a false sense of security. And that's what's happening now. I cannot believe the amount of...

Yep, she's still growing (and growing, and growing...). Sorry for putting my ugly face in the picture, but I wanted to show some comparison - Sammy is perfectly proportioned so it's hard to tell how big she is if there's not something else in the picture to put her size into context. Remember,...

1. I'm pretending to be good. As though I did the things I should. I have not done what I should not. And I sure hope I don't get caught. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y212/Stormrave/petiteloaf.jpg 2. I'm a hunter. Yes I am. I am hunting wild ham.

Y'all are gonna hate me for finding this and telling you about it, but... Bubbels lovers, you must see this: http://games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/pd.html

Well, the important one worked. Ding showed up. I had locked Rhonda and Mr. Clark in a bathroom, Mr. Clark losing some dignity when he struggled away and landed in a litterbox. When I opened the door, tonight's moving having been done, the two imprisoned ones walked out, and, as I asked them,...

Tornado sirens went off three times in three hours (which indicates a funnel cloud was spotted) and the thunder and lightening were horrendous, but all is well here for now. Persia hid in the closet and I though briefly about joining her (there's a pillow and a comforter in there) but hey, if...

For some reason, I found myself wondering what Gary Burgoff was doing now, and looked him up on the web. Not only is he doing well, but he is still an animal fan and painter. I found his web site with pictures of his prints, including a cat one I really want (not happening, but I can dream,...

Cats just love to sit in boxes. Feline behaviorists aren't sure why, but they know it's true. The next time you get something by mail order, put the box on the floor for a few days and let your cat leap in and out. You'll be amazed at how much she'll enjoy a simple cardboard box. Even ordinary...

Last Thursday ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition: After the Storm, was in St. Bernards Parish. They were actually there on Feb 21st. Hewlett Packard brought their photo restoration van, and started restoring photos for the people who had lost everything. HP just sent me a link to the...

I was in the bathroom last week, and Dulce Mae followed me in. She pulled open the cabinet door under the sink, and went inside. Thinking I was being funny, I pushed the door closed behind her. She pushed it back open a bit, reached out and slapped my knee. She then reached up, and pulled the...

There's a pic there, and a link to a video! http://www.theindychannel.com/family/8483583/detail.html?treets=ind&tid=2654501061813&tml=ind_4pm&tmi=ind_4pm_1_03050004052006&ts=H But I do hope that they are getting KMR as doggy-milk is different than kitty-milk! --� The ONE and ONLY

This picture doesn't even qualify as "cute" in my book - this cat is simply beautiful. http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/04/hellodahlink.html Joyce

I'm glad mouse traps don't hurt the cat. But, others have had cases where mouse traps did hurt. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. ..

Nothing really bad weatherwise other than a few thunderstorms in the Memphis area but towns to the east of here got hit hard. Purrs for those who met the devestation and lost their lives in points east in Tennessee last night. What can I say? 'Tis the season. I expect it. I don't look forward...

Now that my economy has started to revive after all the vet bills last autumn, I could finally get myself a new TV. It came in a big box, and of course it's the best cat toy ever. Here are some shots of Caliban playing in it. He ripped open that hole all by himself from the smaller handhold that...

DH is away for 3 weeks for work, so last night was the first of several nights of just me, Spock and Persephone. We have a king size bed, but since Persephone, in particular, likes to snuggle up close it sometimes gets a little squeezy in the bed. Usually, with both me and DH there, the cats...

The tornadic storms passed south and then east/northeast of the Memphis area, hitting the folks in Nashville and beyond last night. 11 confirmed dead. I hate to say it, but 'tis the tornado season, for the midwest and midsouthern U.S. As that old song says, "That's just the way it is......

I hate it when I have to stay awake till the watch is over. This one's on until 1:00 AM. The sirens in this town are not loud enough to wake me. I need to get a NOAA weather radio that can be set to sound alarm when a tornado warning is issued. Also need to cut a trap door in the floor so I can get...

As Dante told you all this afternoon, Stinky was looking out the window chattering at the birdies. What he didn't tell you was the Stinkster was doing it from my lap-- I was at the computer, which is next to a window, and his hind legs were planted on my lap, while his forepaws were on the...
