I'm about to head off to bed now, the cold is getting to me. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/4#post-398490 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:37:19 +0000 jcat 398490@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, MCW. Tee hee, Libby is still terrified of people, including my mum, so when Mum comes to stay, I call her 'scary grandma'... Luckily Jasper is quite happy to jump up on her lap and give her drooly kisses... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/4#post-398487 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:35:02 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 398487@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>And hello Jcat! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/4#post-398484 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:34:03 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 398484@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Like your thinking, that's exactly what I would do in your shoes. Sadly Mum isn't allowed a cat where she is, but if we ever get #4 ourselves (if, who am I kidding?!) then I think I'll try and involve her in the decision making process. I just wish at least one of our mob was a bit more forthcoming with her, I think they all just think "eek, hoomin with big stick, RUN" when they see her! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/4#post-398482 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:32:21 +0000 jcat 398482@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, MCW and MS, glad to hear your mum's considering another kitty, MS, the house feels really empty without them, even when they were little ratbags! (Not that Mitzi was, of course, but Jasper was tonight!) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/4#post-398476 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:28:38 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 398476@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm slowly working on her and she's really missing that company and something to cuddle and talk to during the long night hours so given a wee bit of time and some visits to the SPCA I can see her with an older cat. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/4#post-398474 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:23:43 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 398474@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Bones is eating reasonably well, peeing profusely, still losing weight - but still demanding attention and purring. He's hanging in there!</p> <p>I know it's early days, but do you think your Mum would consider getting another cat? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/4#post-398469 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:18:19 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 398469@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi MCW, Mum and I are both fine although a bit cold tonight. She is missing Mitzi, having someone to talk to. The lady from the cattery where Mitzi holidays brought Mum a wonderful photo of Mitzi. She takes pictures of every cat she looks after no matter how many times they may stay with her. How's Bones doing? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/4#post-398468 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:16:53 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 398468@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Cafe's open, moving over! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398464 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:10:01 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 398464@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi MS, how are you? How's your Mum? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398462 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:07:26 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 398462@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Helloooooooooooo? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398439 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:47:21 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 398439@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Peeks in, all's quiet on the homefront with kitties lazing about, tails twitching as only cat's tails can do :) Going to lie down for a nap and then hopefully back up again in a couple of hours, if that doesn't happen may the late night shifters sleep well and morning to the very early cafe peeps :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398434 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:34:22 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 398434@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm going to sign off.

Sweet dreams. :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398433 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:26:01 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 398433@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, MS and anyone else still lingering. I just got back from my hula class a short time ago. We are in a new space that is much better than the gymnasium we have been using for our class since last September. I see that Airy is getting ready to fire up her sewing machine. I need to do the same! There are about four different costume pieces that each of us needs to make for our luau event on August 1. I have a friend in the class who has never sewed in her life and I am making hers as well. Good thing they are very simple! lol </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398432 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:13:07 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 398432@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Night and Hi FH, sweet dreams to you too. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398430 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:10:55 +0000 FondaHonda 398430@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi and night, MS! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398428 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:05:47 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 398428@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Goodnight SM, sweet dreams. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398427 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:05:02 +0000 SoxsMom 398427@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Okay I am going to go and turn in. Sherlock has just come inside and is finally ready for bed. Deuter and Teaser are wide awake and ready to tear through the house--so it is bedtime for hoomans!!</p> <p>Good Night and Peace to All! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398426 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:01:07 +0000 SoxsMom 398426@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Not that far from Battle Creek where my hubby and I grew up. I haven't been back in several years now. I remember when you first posted about Psyco Kitty! She was a handful and that is putting it mildly! I love going to Michigan for vacation, but never what to live there again. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398425 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:01:00 +0000 FondaHonda 398425@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I was just thinking about that, GK. What a relief. I called my principal in April to let her know that I was going to be out for a few days for health reasons (with a note, although I didn't even need it) and the only thing 'that woman' mentioned was asking me about how we're going to get the kids ready for TAKS. I rarely miss and that's all she said. Needless to say, when I got pink eye, I made sure to take every day I could suck out of it ;) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398424 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:59:06 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 398424@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ginny, great to see you posting more regularly again. I was missing your razor sharp sense of humour.<br /> SM, we are starting to get H1N1 passed on through the community now rather than through people returning from overseas travels. So indirectly linked to travellers, ie no known contact. Taking precautions now whenever I'm out, washing hands etc. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398423 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:57:57 +0000 gatakitty 398423@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Still, FH, there are bennies, and they're big: no TAKS testing (although we do have to align lesson plans to the TEKS), and no TELPAS!!!!!!!!!!!!</p> <p>Our students don't stay with us long enough to assess. Most are in and out within a few weeks.</p> <p>And now, I must say "good night"--I mean it! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398422 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:54:11 +0000 FondaHonda 398422@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Jackson--that's where I was born, but I don't remember living there. I've visited there a few times.</p> <p>Psycho Kitty (Queen Tut) was a beautiful Maine Coon who was inherited from the kids across the street when their mother died. The woman had a seizure and fell out of the bed and broke her neck. Tut had been coming over to my parents garage for a while and the kids asked my Dad if he'd take her. Little did they know that she was so psycho---they definitely think she was either abused or raised in a bad cattery place.</p> <p>Well, I'd better try to get to sleep, too. I have 2 doctor's appts. tomorrow and I'm already shaking about the second one :( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398421 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:53:15 +0000 gatakitty 398421@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Uh, no, actually. I earn about 11 hours of paid time off (that's either sick leave or personal time) per month, and nine company-paid holidays per year. All told, it comes to about four week's worth. No teacher planning days, either--that has to happen when the kids are on the monthly field trip--if we aren't chosen to chaperone. If we are, then oh, well. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398420 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:51:16 +0000 SoxsMom 398420@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Have a feeling there are some stories there GK! Sweet Dreams!</p> <p>FH I think your Mom deserves a nice lap kitten. It is good that people will take those unfriendly kittens too, but a nice lap cat would be a nice change. Teaser is unfriendly. She will sit next to me, but I am not allowed to touch her--she doesn't hiss, instead she makes this awful growl! Maybe when she gets back from Michigan she will feel like thinking about a lap kitten. </p> <p>Have to ask since I am from Michigan--where did they go? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398419 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:50:11 +0000 FondaHonda 398419@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Does that mean that you get more breaks throughout the school year? If so, I wish me had year-round school. Other than the summer giving me the time(hopefully) to get some medical problems taken care of, I'd rather go year round. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398418 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:48:03 +0000 gatakitty 398418@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Three words, FH: </p> <p>Year-<br /> Round<br /> School </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18046/page/3#post-398417 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:47:28 +0000 FondaHonda 398417@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>5:30? Why in the world would you be getting up at a 'sparrow's fart' (according to the ladies in the cafe) when it's summer break?</p> <p>*hearing the theme of 'The Dating Game' in my head now :)* </p>
