EOM Cats

EOM means End of Month, and that is what today is. It is kind of a special end of a month, because people who go to most jobs have three days in a row when they can stay home from work. He and She used to have jobs like that. Of course, if your work is in a store, like Cleo'sMom, you don't get those days. If you take letters to people's mailboxes, you get two of the days. If you are a cat, you may have to work a little harder, because your people may have company or want to get things done. Kasey, Kate and I will have it pretty easy, because every day is sort of the same for Him and Her. He has sprayed some of the special doc stuff and we still stay in our room most of the time, but Kate has stopped scratching where He sprayed it.  Kate is more relaxed, though. Now it's time to work on getting her to let us out without a fuss.
Now She says She may not watch anything about politics for awhile, because She is tired of screaming about it. She really likes the guy that has the job now.
There is going to be something for dinner tonight that is not fish. She says She will actually use two pans. I don't think I will like it, but I will try to give Her a chance and taste it. I don't like to hurt Her feelings, you know.  Get ready for a new month, now, and have a nice three days. Sy-O-nara.

Sniffing Cats

He and She have this stuff that they spray on the door, and it is supposed to make us calm and friendly. So far, it has not kept Kate out of the bedroom, but we all have high hopes that it will work. This should make Kate happy about staying in Her computer room. She is sleeping under the desk and not bothering me, so I guess it's a good plan.  She told Her beloved Crones about it last evening.
I was kind of pleased to see that the delivery guy brought a big package full of fish for our dinners in the next few weeks. When the fish place has a sale, She takes advantage of it, and Her favorite kind of sale is when the delivery is free. He just loves fish, and they don't eat very much other kind of meat. Maybe some chicken and stuff.  I mostly like the fish, but pizza is good, too.
It might be the way that the stuff they spray makes me feel, but it is all good right now. More details tomorrow. Bye.

Encouraged Cats

It turned out that She feels so bad about the unfriendly cat situation that She consulted a cat doc. The doc said that He and She did it all wrong. They should have kept Kate away from us when she first came to live here, until we could all get used to the smell of each other. The doc said it isn't too late, though. Find a place to put Kate so Kasey and I can come out and feel at home in the house again.  Then when Kate realizes we live here, too, let her back out. But first, spray some magical stuff in our rooms so that we are more relaxed and groovy.  He went and got the stuff this morning. I haven't smelled it yet, but I believe relaxing will be a good thing.  She didn't think They needed to keep Kate separated from us, because she had been in here about a gazillion times when she lived next door and was an outside cat.
I'll tell you a secret, though. She must love us very much, because She is very particular about spending money, and it cost money to get help from the doc. I know I appreciate Her. I think Kasey just likes Her because He does, and Kate just likes the treats and the catnip.  I'll keep you posted on how this works out. TTYL

Little Things Cats

There is nothing new here today, except for some little things. Nothing is new about Kate, and She is trying to think of a new plan. Then there is the little time She had with coffee-the-drink with  a good friend. Here is what I heard Her say about this guy: Nobody understood him when They first knew him. His mother had just died and he was deep in grief. All that helped him was music. The guy went to Their church for the music. He had never been in that kind of church before, ever. He is a big guy and he kind of scared people. The people got him out of there, and She has never gotten over it. She is happy the guy has found a way to make his life work. I guess that isn't such a little thing after all.
Another little thing is how She falls down. Today She did it again, and once again, some lovely people helped Her up. Nothing hurt her.  Hey, that's not so little, either. Well, the other thing about today is a very very big thing. It is Hana'sGran's birthday today. H'sG and She had their birthday lunch last week, but She has been thinking good things about her all day.
Come to think of it, none of today's things were little things. Ha. I was fooled. Chow for now.

Disappointed Cats

Kasey and I are disappointed that we couldn't be friends with Kate. We have loved her for a long time. When she used to come and visit us, we were happy to see her. When she came here to live, she was very comfortable and liked being inside.. What she didn't like was us getting attention from Her. It would get better, She told us, but it didn't. It got worse. She would hiss and snarl and growl at us, and if we tried to come out of Their bedroom, Kate would attack us. We do not have claws, so an attack from Kate could hurt. It was a joke, She thought, that a little tiny girl-cat like Kate could scare a big guy like me, but you know I have never been brave. I'm just a big snuggle-bug.  When Kate attacks Kasey, they both yow very loud and it makes Him kind of mad.  Last night She told Kate's old Mom that we had to find something else for her. One thing nobody wants is for Kate to go to a place where they kill cats. Kate'sOldMom said she would try to find a place if we would give her some time. She will be surprised when she sees Kare, who has gotten quite roly-poly now that she can't go out and clime trees and fences and run around the neighborhood. The kitty seems so happy here. Kate has learned not to worry about us, since she keeps us in one place. She lounges on the furniture and shows Her her belly, which is a sign that she is a happy cat.  He is disappointed that it isn't working. She is heartbroken, and Kasey and I are two really disappointed cats. I don't think Kate realizes what is happening, because she loves it here so much. I have to go now. Bye.

Playful Cats

It is not my style to laugh at other cats or people when they are in trouble, but it is all I can do to keep my whiskers straight because of what Kate did today. All day long Kate has been a little beggar, wanting some of Her breakfast, some of His treats, Kate would bump her head on Them to get extra attention. A while ago, while She was checking Her messages, Kate came in and bothered until she got some treats. When she wanted more, and She ignored her, Kate went and got on the kitchen counter. We are not supposed to do that, you know, but Kate did, and knocked over Her beloved Eddie-cup that She has used every day since She got it. The cup broke and She is mad at Kate. The little cat is in big trouble and I am not laughing. You know I'm not. I am not that kind of cat. OK, maybe just a little bit.
I was feeling kind of chipper anyway, because She came in with a plastic tape that She got off a package. She remembered how I loved to play with those things before Kate, and She and I played for a really long time. I was worn out after awhile, but She played with me until I nearly fell asleep. She told Him I purred louder than I have in a long time. So I am not sad today, except for Her losing Her precious cup. He has company now, so I'm going back to my room. Bye.

Weary Cats

You are my important people, my readers, and I don't mean to burden you with my problems, but I am getting very tired of the way things are, and so is Kasey. I am a little upset with Her, because She told me everything would be just fine. Yes, I am talking about my new sister, Kate. It has been three months since Kate came here to live with us, and she loves it here, but she doesn't like Kasey and me. Today Kate went charging at Kasey, and everyone know you just don't do that. Here is what She has tried. She has put Kate and me together and petted both of us at once. That worked while She was doing the petting, but next day Kate was not interested in being friends. Another thing She tried was putting down some catnip. That kind of worked. Now I am waiting for some new method of making friends. Kate is a sweet kitty, and very funny sometimes, but we are kind of stuck until Kate lets me out of the bedroom.  I'll keep you posted, but if you have any other ideas, let me know.
The thing She is tired of, besides the cat-business is all the money wasted on ads about whom to vote for.  Both sides tell fibs, and both sides say silly things. He and She like the President the way he is, and don't want to change. This is a problem, because there are a really lot of weeks until the voting, and I don't like to hear Her screaming. Tomorrow is bound to be a better day, so cheerio for now.

Hurry Cats

I am in a hurry with my story today, because She will be back in a couple of minutes and will want to check on what Her friends are talking about. It's OK, because we had a quiet day around here. I was nice and cozy in the wash-basket and She was all about checking on things. She has some things She calls details that She has to be sure to take care of. It seems Her two favorite things are de-cluttering and details. Kasey and I help with the de-cluttering, but not with details. They seem to involve papers and bankbooks and filing. It makes me yawn.  The good news is there is pink fish for supper, and She is fixing a whole cauliflower. It is a big white flower that He thought would be nice to have. I don't want to eat any, but the pink fish is one of my favorites. Here She comes, so toodles.

Paper Cats

The business of today involved papers. Reading papers, filling out papers, signing papers and copying papers. Here's what happened. His new business of making displays is just ready to start making the big bucks. At least that's what He says. She just snuggles us and hopes for the best. Well, He says it is important that He spends a little more to get over the hurdle. I am not sure what that means, but I can guess there is one more thing He has to do to get the whole thing going. He decided to borrow some money to get over that hurdle, so He and She went to a bank place and said that if they would give Him some money, they could have His car. He said don't worry, I can keep my car and just pay the money back. She just shook Her head. That's you're daddy, Coffs, She told me. I guess He has done this before. Well, you would not believe the number of pages that He had to sign and put his initials on. She said it was about ten trees worth. I don't think that is real. I think it is just a joke. So now all we have to do is wait until He gets over that hurdle and we can start getting rich.  Don't worry, She says. We won't vote for the rich guys. I don't think we will be that rich. But He told me He doesn't doubt it for a minute. He is like Kasey that way. I have to check out the kitchen. I don't know what's for diner. Oddy-ose.

Satisfied Cats

The plans She had for taking Hana'sGran to a swell lunch had to get changed when H'sG had a little concern about what she could eat. Since She feels that seeing Hana'sGran is really fun whenever it is, She thought it didn't matter where. They ended up going to their favorite place, and it turned out just as wonderful. She usually likes to get something to take home, and She did this time, too. Since Hana'sGran is not allowed to eat sweets right now, She had the idea to get a fancy dessert and take it home for later. That way, She wouldn't be tempting her beloved friend. Since all the desserts come with ice-cream, and She couldn't take that home, She decided to eat the ice cream there and take the cookie part home. The guy brought out a fancy plate with lots of ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate syrup on top of the innocent cookie. So much for hiding the dessert from H'sG. Oh, of course she told Her she didn't mind, but H'sG would say that. She is kind like that. I am particularly satisfied, because I can share what She brought and She will be as happy as She knows how to be. It makes Her chuckle that Her friends have birthdays and She gets all the great food. 
In the meantime, Kate and I have a strange thing going on. One day we are fine relaxed and groovy, and the next day she hisses and growls at me. I just don't understand girl cats. Do you? Later gator.

Careful Cats

It makes Her kind of sad to know that some people are not very nice. She doesn't like to think bad things about people, but sometimes you just can't help it, She says. There have been people in the news telling things that are not true and She wants everyone to vote so that people like that don't get very far. Also, there are people who call up on the phone who try and get information from you. She is very particular about this, but He is so trusting that He doesn't think about it, and She has to remind him not to tell his information to people He doesn't know.  She says it makes Her sound kind of mean, but if that is what it takes, that's how She will be. He has always been that way, She says. He wouldn't trick anybody to get money, so He doesn't think that way. She wouldn't do that, either, but for some reason, She is more suspicious.
So, if today is a sad, careful, suspicious day, it will soon be over, and the day She is waiting for will be here. It is a day to celebrate Hana'sGran's Birthday, and it will be so much fun. I will tell you about it tomorrow, after She gets home. Stay tuned.

Chick Flick Cats

Today She went to visit with some friends, and they watched a movie on a big TV. It was big enough that it was almost like being at the movies. Here is what She told me about it. It was a wonderful movie about people getting along with their families and studying their beliefs. I told Her it sounded good, and maybe She should get it to show here. She said that would not work. Although it had a great message and the people in it were really good, it was a chick flick. I have never heard of such a thing. It isn't about chickens, although there were chickens in it. It was a movie that ladies would like and men would probably not. He wouldn't, for sure. He would probably say why doesn't she just.....whatever would solve the problem. In chick flicks, the ladies have to work it out, and not do the simple thing.  I am curious abut the movie, though. Mostly because of the chickens.
Where She saw this movie was at Sabra's house. There were two ladies there that She never saw before, and She really liked those ladies. They were from different countries. Sabra'sMom goes to lots of different countries.  Before the movie the ladies had a nice lunch. She brought popcorn for the movie, but Sabra'sMom didn't pop it. That was fine, because everyone was full from the lunch.  If She gets any other chick flicks, She will have to watch them by Herself, because He would not be interested. With two girl cats in my life, I have enough of girl stuff. Toodle pip.

Family Cats

It is a funny thing about family. Some of us are born to great Moms who teach us things before we move on. Some of us don't really know our whole families. Whatever your family is like, you have stories, right? I don't remember much about my first family, before I came here to live with Them.  I guess things happened there that weren't so good, because I bet I'd remember good stuff. Kasey doesn't talk about her first family, either.  I wonder if they made her so grumpy and unwilling to be snuggled. Kate's first family was the Next Door people, and they treated her with love. Her first human family found her in a trash can, just thrown away. The lady couldn't stand that, so she brought Kate home, and she didn't come here to stay with us until the first family couldn't keep her when they moved away.  Some of you may have heard Her story, about how she found a brother and a whole other family just a little while ago.  She is chuffed about that. But her favorite thing to be is a CatMom and a Grandma, so She has chosen some folks to be Grandma to. Her cats and people are just as important to her as if she always knew them. I am glad to be in this family. Chow.

Nice, Dry Cats

Today there was a lot of loud thunder and plenty of rain. I bet Kate is glad she has a nice dry house to live in. There are other cats outside, and He leaves the tool shed door open in case they need to get out of the wet. That is a nice thing to do - but it is even better to be inside, where it is cool and quiet. Even though I don't like that noise, I have a nice, soft blanket in the closet, so I can still feel safe and comfy. When I see how Kate curls up in  a soft place and lets her belly show, I know that she is glad she lives in here with us. Oh, sure - she still misses her family, but it isn't all bad, since she is nice and dry.  Kate loves to look out the windows, but she doesn't try to get out. That makes Him and Her very relieved. He and She didn't have to go out in the rain, either, so it has been a nice, dry day.
Last week She got a ticket to buy some food at a cheap price. They said they would deliver some frozen meals that you could just heat and eat. One thing was a kind of pie made from eggs. She ordered two servings. You should see them. Each one is about the size of the top of Her coffee mug. He will eat His in two bites. She is glad She didn't pay a lot of money for the skimpy food. I have to go help Her now, so Aloha.

Optimistic Cats

When you look on the bright side of things and expect good things, She says that means you are optimistic. For example, She thinks that one of these days things will be back to the old ways with Kasey, Kate and me. I heard Him tell Her that all three of us were together in a room, and no one was hissing, fluffing up or yowing.  I guess that is a good sign, but wherever She is, there is Kate, and Kate is not optimistic about me. I believe she thinks that I will steal Her way from her.  I have tried to tell Kate that She already belongs to me, and I will share, but Kate puts her paws in her ears and goes lalalalala.  I'll tell you something that no one is telling Kate. That is - Kate is getting fat. It used to be that Kate ran around outside and climbed trees and only ate when she came in. Now she eats most of her food and some of ours. That makes Kasey the smallest of us now. He and She are optimistic that all three of us are healthy and will stay that way.
She is also optimistic that His business will do nicely, and that He will sell lots of models and displays.  I surely hope that happens, because She is quite concerned about having enough money for kibbles and cookies. I can join in telling Her to be optimistic about it. This is nothing to take chances with.  Cheers, everybody.

Cousin Cats

We have quite a few cousins, but some of them belong to the lady She calls the Cat Whisperer. It is because that lady saw some cats that lived outside and didn't belong to any house. By using patience and a few treats, the lady got some of the outside kittens to come live inside with her. I call this lady Smudge'sMom, because that was the first cousin she whispered in. Since then, there have been others and they get along so much better than Kate and me. Do you suppose it is because they were all little kittens when they met each other? Or maybe it is because they had the same mom-cat. I don't know. Anyway, these are some of our cousins. Smudge'sMom has a birthday tomorrow, and Smudge'sMom and OurMom had a nice lunch together for her birthday. It made me think how glad I am that we have so many dear cousins. I love them all, but I don't want any more to be brothers and sisters. Turning our cousin Kate into a sister is still in process. I have learned how to sigh. (sigh).
The good news is, there is nice fish for our dinner. Nom Nom. Toodles.

Clever Cats

Here is what Kasey does. She goes to His office and walks all over His papers. She doesn't get on the keyboard, but stands in front of it until He says for her to go lie down. Then Kasey climbs into her box on His desk and watches Him work. She sometimes has a nap while she is in there. Every so often, Kasey gets up and goes to the corner of the desk by the door, and waits for Kate to come by. If Kate so much as puts a paw into His office, Kasey hisses and yows. It is funny to watch her scaring Kate, who backs off without a problem. Trouble is , Kate then comes into the bedroom and makes a mean face at me. Look, you know I am not a fighter. If She is in there when this happens, I make an effort to fluff up and hiss, but everyone knows I'm not going to fight with Kate. While she is visiting, she sometimes gets a drink out of our bowl, or a snack from our kibbles.  I try not to feel insulted, because She tells me what a good boy I am, and gives me lots of pets. This is what it means to try to get along and since we cannot change it, we might as well try.
I don't know about dinner tonight, because She had a lovely lunch with Cleo'sMom, and He has something ready to eat, too. I will have to ask Her when the next fish is coming. buh-bye.

Good News Cats

She had a visit with Rocky'sMom today, and that is where She got the good news that She told us about. You see, Rocky'sMom has a cousin who is visiting here, because the doc where he lives said he had such a terrible sickness that it was all over his body. Here where we live is a place where the best docs in the whole world have come to treat such a sickness. The cousin came here for that and went through about a gazillion tests, and the new docs told him that instead of all over his entire body, the sickness is in one little place, and it can be fixed. It is a miracle, She told Him, and now all they have to do is fix it.  When you hear good news like that, it makes you forget about little problems, so She is chuffed.
She hopes that the next good news will be that He has enough money to get His business started. No, Cofs, She said. I don't want to think about that right now. I would rather have all you cats getting along. That is the next Good News She wants around here. Hmm. I'll have to work on that. She thinks there will be chicken for dinner, and that is good news for me. Sy-o-nara.

Counting Cats

It is a very good thing that cats do not need money. After all, we earn our rent and food by being adorable, and all the toys are just a bonus. From what I have been able to figure out, money is nothing but trouble for humans.  If you know anything about Her, you know She is particular about money. If you know anything about Him, you know that He is not. We have scratched our heads a lot of times to try to figure out how he thinks. She believes it is because His family had enough money. Of course, Her family did not, always. She got the hint when He said something was a real bargain - only $60. Only? She asked. To Her a real bargain is $16.95. He is so very sweet to Her, and helps Her get around, so She tries not to get tense about it. Today She made Him promise that - once this new business was making Him so rich that he was tired of it - that He wouldn't start another one. Just between you and me, I wish Her good luck with that. He is an idea machine, you know. And a problem solver. She is just happy being retired. I love living here. Every day is an adventure. Later, Gator.

Progress Cats

Here's how we made some progress today. You know how Kate is very jealous of me getting pets from Her? Well, today Kate came in while I was getting pets and she came over to Her. Kate looked kind of mad, but She started petting both of us. For that petting, we both were purring and She agreed with me that it is a step in the right direction. Kate was used to getting a lot of pets from her people where she lived before, but He and She think we are making progress.
What did not make progress today was politics. I am not sure what set Her off, but She is grumping about some guy in the elections. The guy does not want to help women, in fact he wants to set things backward. That really works Her nerves. She says he wants to give more money to the rich people, and take away His and Her doctor. I am glad I have a nice closet to go to when She gets like this. TTYL, friends.

Religion Cats

There is a lot of stuff on the news about this thing called religion. I had to ask Her how to spell that. I also had to ask Her what it is about. She told me it is about what you believe. That is easy for me. My religion is eating and sleeping and getting pets and snuggles.  She told me that's as good as any other one. It turns out people start very young to learn about what their parents believe, but all these things can be different. It seems to cause a lot of trouble. When everyone thinks what they believe is right, you can imagine the arguments it can cause.  And people tend to stick up for their parents, so you can't tell them it's wrong. He and She believe Everyone is tied together, so we should be nice to everyone. They believe you should be kind and helpful and follow rules that you and your friends agree on.  He and She think it is up to humans to keep the world nice. Some people believe another guy does it all.  I like Their religion, because it includes being very nice to cats. She made me promise to try to get along better with Kate. I am not sure about that, but then, Kasey, Kate and I don't belong to Her religion. Speaking of eating, I think I smell shrimp. Oddy-ose.

Sleepy-time Cats

A lot of sleeping goes on here at our house, and in many different styles. First of all, She watches TV, works some puzzles and goes to sleep, and sleeps until morning, except for the occasional trip to the litter-bowl. Then She goes right back to sleep. She stays awake all day, sometimes working on Her to-do list and sometimes visiting with friends. On the other hand, He sleeps a little while at night, then gets up and works on His ideas. He goes to sleep every few hours all day long. I am the best sleeper, because sleeping and snuggling is all I do, besides writing my stories.  Kasey gets up to help Him with His work each time, but she has a box on His desk so she can catch a few winks while He works. Sometimes, right after she eats, Kasey goes tearing around the house, jumping on furniture and meowing. When she does that, She says Kasey is going Oofty Goofty.  As for Kate, she knows how to sleep pretty well, but is always alert, and gets up to go wherever She goes. One funny thing she does is jump way up on top of the TV for a nap. Maybe she misses climbing trees. At our house, the sleeping is very interesting.  So is the eating. But that is another story. Chow for now.

Telephone Cats

The telephone never stopped ringing today. He and She don't usually answer when it says certain things, but with His business starting up, She actually answers more, in case it is someone who wants to know about things. If you ask Her about the business, She doesn't really know, except that it is about displays of airplanes and stuff. If you ask Him a question about it, your ears will flap over before He gets through telling you.  So when people call on the telephone, She can't tell them anything, and She is fine with that. He has promised that He wouldn't spend important money, but She still worries. That's how She is about money, you know. As long as He is happy, and takes good care of Her and all of us, She isn't going to let it bother Her too much.
Another thing that makes phone calls is people who want to tell Her and Him about politics. She doesn't want to be rude, but She really doesn't have a lot of money to give, and the guys on the phone don't like to hear that. Don't they know He and She have already decided on their votes? I guess not.
Kate is on the lookout, so I had better get back to my closet. (sigh). Shalom.

Young and Old Cats

Here is what is on Her mind today: She found out some famous guy died, and he wrote songs and other music. She liked him a lot, and was sad to hear that he had died. What got Her was that the man was 68 years old. Oh my, that is too young for him to die, She said. And then, as sad as She was, She had to laugh. She remembered when She was a little girl and Her grandma would say that someone died and they were so young. She would (snerk) and say that their age sounded pretty old to Her. Now She realizes that when you are a good ten years older than a person, they seem pretty young to die. She keeps saying She never expected to live this long, but I am kind of glad She did.
That made me think about Kate, and why she is such a confident little cat. You have to remember, Kasey and I are twice as old as Kate, and we are more lazy and slow. Kate is so jealous when She gives me pets. Kate is too young to know that She loves us both the same. Maybe I will try to explain that next time she gets in my face. Mmmm. Fish for dinner. He would like to have fish every night. I'm fine with that. TaTa for now.

Toes and Claws Cats

You probably remember that our new sister, Kate, has claws, and Kasey and I don't. It really hurt to lose my claws, and I had to go around in bandages for awhile. That might be why She didn't have Kate's claws taken away. Kate has not scratched us yet, but She is thinking of getting those little claw-covers for her. I think She will have to wear lots of tough clothes when She tries to put covers on Kate's claws, because that is one very determined kitty. I wish we could go and get our toes all fixed up fancy like She does. Today She went and had them cut, scraped and polished. Now they are a very shiny pink. They look nice peeking out of Her sandals, but I wonder why She has that done to them in cold weather, when Her shoes cover them up. Oh, well. You know how humans are. You just never can tell.
She is especially chuffed because She and He talked to Mazie today. It is Mazie's birthday, and she is 13 years old. If you have any idea how much She and He love that little girl, You know how happy They were to hear her dear voice. I have to check on what is for dinner, so Cheers for now.

Befuddled Cats

Since Her computer broke the other day, it is as if there are gremlins in here. The computer-fixing guy did a nice job of cleaning off viruses and things, but he must have cancelled some of Her regular things, because She has to keep putting in stuff that should be remembered by the computer, and not by Her. She had to look up a big bunch of stuff, because She is used to going to right where She wants to be. As for me, my page comes up just fine, but I can't get to it if She is dilly-dallying aound trying to find Her bank and stuff. Beside that, we are quite chuffed to have our regular computer back. His computer is harder to work.
I am chuckling because I have found a new place to hide, and She couldn't find me before. She would still be looking for me if I hadn't giggled. That gave me away. Hint: laundry baskets can be quite cozy. She told me She wants me to come out of the bedroom and back to my old favorite spots, but I may have to give that a lot of thought. I still have some issues with Kate, although things are getting a bit better. TTYL.

Disaster Cats

It happened a bunch of days ago. In the middle of the night there was a very loud noise, and it turned out that The picture part of our computer was on the floor.  He picked it all up, but when She turned it on, there were only a lot of lines and squiggles. I'm not one to point a paw at another cat, but I didn't do it, and Kasey was in the bedroom with Him, so that leaves Kate, who must have gotten up behind the picture and pushed it down.  The noise must have scared Kate, because she was tucked away under the table in another room. Luckily, the computer-fixing guy could bring us a new picture part. Un-luckily, it took him until today to get it here. Well, all is well, and everything seems to be working quite well, so you should be reading my stories every day, just like before.  We can catch up on Her lunch with Her beloved Crones and Friends one day, and her lunch with Rocky'sMom on another. She was glad to have these things to take Her mind off missing Her computer friends, but I just had to stay here and wait it out. Sometimes it is not all rosy to be a cat. Until tomorrow, then, toodle pip.
