    Location: San Jose, California, USA

    MimiWe adopted Mini from a family that couldn’t keep her anymore. She’s a little bundle of energy and loves to ambush her big brother, Oliver (an orange tabby) whenever he walks by. She’s always at the door waiting for me when I come home from work. Sometimes we call her “Princess Froglegs” because she has a habit of sitting with her front legs crossed and her hind legs spread out.

    My goodness. Again, well HM steal mode must not be working if you can steal see the sax. Next time try something more stealthy no instruments. Easy to be mistaken for a band memeber and get cornered.
    Learn magic tricks for disappearing from Chriss Angel. Or hypnosis (not sure of spelling there LOL) Now ya see Mimi and HM now ya don’t. HM disappears into crowd while everyone frantcally searches for the kittennapper HM.

    LOL! Oh no! Now I’m getting involved. Gotta hide just incase someone looks for me and says I am abading a felon.

    Siddles off to covered backstage area and makes a run for it.

    Nico, our 11-year-old calico, likes to sniff our fingers when we come home, rub her teeth on them and then jump off the sofa to go eat. We think she says, “Thank you, drive thru!” or “Thank you, come again!” She’s a sweetie pie.

    Good morning ALL! And to Mini… You are adorable!!

    So here’s the new hello’s to everyone that felt ‘snubbed’ like yesterday’s tuna… :D Georgie’s Mama, One Popoki, Ginny in Cat Spring, Tinafish, MerD. Great Dane (and Bob), Amy Lou, Sharon, Renee, Dee in Tampa, Karin. You are all my extended family. I was just in a rush yesterday and had time to only come up with a few names. I seriously hope that you don’t feel like you were a cat that just had a bath. Lick your wounds and come back for some headbutts…

    To Chester: Early this year my husband and I found out he had colon cancer (adenocarcinoma), stage II. We have yet to start chemo due to a move to MD and his immune deficiency. I don’t know your specific situation but my prayers for comfort are with you. Everyday can seem tough but don’t stop living!! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. If you can find it, there was some excellent articles in Newsweek with Lance Armstrong and Elizabeth Edwards about a month ago.

    Hi Tiger -
    I didn’t feel snubbed because I’ve been so crazy busy at work to read all the comments. My priority is to look at the cute kitty (it’s my uplift for the day - good for the stress level), then follow the conversations and all the information the great people here post. Then I try to get in on some conversations when possible. It’s nutty here again today so this is probably it for me today, but a big hello to all my TDK friends. I am, at heart, with you at our virtual breakfasts, lunches, happy hours, etc. and always bring my share of goodies as well as kitty treats (don’t EVER forget the kitty treats!). I also share in your happy times (b-days, anniversaries) and always include all of you who are feeling down or have unfortunate happenings or concerns in my prayers. Purrs and headbuts from Shaddo and Jiggs to all their extended fuzzy familly of TDKers.
    Special note to Alex - HI ALEX!!!! Isn’t Mimi adorable? Can you picture the frog pose? It must be hilarious!!!

    Yeah, I made the list - and Bob, too!!!!! He’s going to be so excited when I tell him! He had a good day yesterday: no bike rides, no baths, no accidental lock-us, no trips to the vet and no tooth brushing! I decided since he had the day “off” yesterday that I should trim his nails this morning - especially since he’s become very intent on trying to climb my legs every chance he gets! Ouch! He’s at home right now plotting his revenge!!!!!

    This reminds me of a childrens’ TV show I used to watch in the 50s. (Yes, I’m that old!) I don’t recall the name of the show but it had a female host who would pull out a handheld mirror at the end of the show, remove the center of the mirror and peer through it out into TVland. She would then recite the names of all the children she saw watching the show. Every day I would wait eagerly for her to see me, but she never did. *sigh* Will my inner child ever recover? (No comment about oversensitivity please, Instinct! I’m not crying in the workplace.)
