  1. It's a grey and drizzly day here in joisey, but the weather is purrfect in the cafe. Kitties are cooking and baking and grilling and making sure the endless fountains of every drink are running smoothly. A soothing cool breeze flows thru the windows to the south; a cozy low fire burns in the fireplace at the north side.
    Some cats and kittens are ready to play, having just woken from their catnaps, and others are looking for laps to settle on.
    Welcome!

  2. Morning, Joan! It's grey outside here today, too. If I didn't know better, I'd say it looks like snow!
    I'm on my way out of work to go walk the dogs - see you all later!

  3. At work, drinking my Mt. Dew since I'm not a coffee drinker. Didn't sleep good last night because Resa decided I needed a heart attack. She ran out the back door while we were feeding our big doggies. Neither would hurt her on purpose but Kai is a husky and plays really rough and one time he killed a stray that got into the yard :( I was devistated! Luckily hubby was with Kai and he never even noticed. My Loki noticed but he grew up with kitties and was just curious which scared her, she poofed and ran back inside as quickly as she ran out. Still I almost had a panic attack and felt like crying for a few hours afterward and the adreneline rush ruined my sleep. Still she's ok, I'm ok and hopefully she won't do that again!

  4. Aw Kit, how scary. I'm glad Resa is OK.

    Must be something in the air making our kitties think we need to have the wits scared out of us; I came out of the shower this morning to find George sitting on the table with the handles of a plastic bag wrapped around his neck(!). He wasn't freaking out or anything, just sitting there calmly waiting for mommy to help him, which she did. Yikes. When I think about all the things in our apartment that he could get into, I wonder how he's still alive.

  5. Kilroy that's scary too. resa likes plastic bags and I have to keep an eye on her or she'll get in the cabinet where I keep them but she's never gotten wrapped up in them...yet! Least he was smart and waiting for you to help him. :)

  6. Wow, glad Resa is alright, Kit. Comet likes to chew plastic. Great. He startled us this morning, just minutes after Leela settled down with me. He made a half-attempt to jump to my dresser, and when he fell off, he took the runner and a bunch of things on the dresser with it. I didn't bother to even open my eyes; it was still dark out and I figured whatever fell would be waiting for me when I got up anyway.

  7. Yea sounds like a good strategy Joan. Why get up and clean it up when you can sleep and just do it when you get up anyway? :)

  8. Paw up wave g'morning from grey, windy and chilly brewtown! Wow, ?snow? GD! Oy kits and what they get into. Happy Georgie & Resa is ok plus isn't that true on nite time antics Joan...it'll wait until the AM. I always think that when I hear Crockey's "aaack" for yaackage gift as wake up KP! He was very affectionate this morning...grooming his meomy, honest he gave both of my hands/arms a bath/tee hee...purring away! Ok, I need another cuppa joe as cinnabon to keep going...now a smooch for Tux, later!

  9. Definitely no snow here, JK, just looks like it. It finally cooled down a bit and temps are in the mid 70s which the dogs really loved for their walks this morning.
    I'm home now after dog walking and the post office and I'm going to be a good girl and take a nap for an hour. The boys are quiet (for now) so seem like a good time.

  10. Whew, great to hear GD. For a few minutes I was wondering what my niece Di was thinking if she saw a few flurries in new digs as FL but 70's sound purrfect!

    Posted 5 months ago by jeankit #

  11. ugh I wish for 70's! It's currently 37...brrr! :(

  12. Good morning (it's still morning here) littermates! Been busy at work and busy at home... needed to stop lurking and say HELLO !!!

  13. Hi 2p! *waving madly* How are you, besides busy?

    Posted 5 months ago by Kilroy #

  14. Nice to see you 2P...sends a WI Cheese/sausage platter your way via wormhole courtesy of big boy weesconsin cheesehead kit Crockey!

  15. Morning everyone :)

  16. Hi all! Busy, busy at that place :(

    Has anyone heard from WWM? I emailed her the end of last week and haven't heard anything. I don't think she's posted here for a little while. Hope all is ok!

    Posted 5 months ago by linda #

  17. @ JK - whooo hoooo.. thanks for the cheese/sausage platter. Yum !

    @ Linda - I THINK WWM was going on another cruise ??? Can't say for certain. I have noticed her MIA as well.

  18. Hi again. I got to spend my lunch break with a 13 week old kitten! Quincy is looking for a furrever home; sister is fostering her and she gets to bring her to work at the animal hospital. I want an office kitty!!

    Posted 5 months ago by JoanfromNewJersey #

  19. Thanks Crockey!

    Posted 5 months ago by JoanfromNewJersey #

  20. Oops... almost missed you Kilroy ! *waves madly back to NY* I am doing great ! other than busy. ;)
    Although busy is OK too!

  21. Possible bit of good news on the job front; the woman who laid us off gave my name & the name of one other researcher to someone she knows at Reuters who is trying to put together an investigative research team.

    Hi Linda and everyone! Joan, so happy for you that you got to spend some time with a foster kitty. I hope Quincy gets a home soon.

  22. Keeping paws crossed for you Kilroy! Aw, fun with Quincy Joan.
    Okey, another Cheese & Sausage platter in cafe too for all to enjoy from cheesehead kit Crockey! ( I haven't had that in ages too. One of the places I used to work at had Friday "Packer Parties" with those same noms...it was also a great way to get interested in local sports!)
    Now, where is my coffee cup for I need a warmer than back to "that place"!

    Posted 5 months ago by jeankit #

  23. I'm with you JK, need more coffee...

    Posted 5 months ago by Kilroy #

  24. That sounds promising Kilroy, crossing my paws as well.

  25. I just saw a commercial on our air in which the word "heels" was spelled "heals". An actual, televised commercial.

    *sigh*

    On a brighter note, I was checking out the woman who might be hiring for Reuters and she graduated from UNC Chapel Hill. I have a very tenuous connection to UNC, but it should be enough to start a conversation.

  26. Hope Reuters turn up trumps for you Kilroy.

    Had to take Pickle to the vet yesterday - the abscess got worse. She is now on antibiotics and is absolutely fine. I have to give her one tablet twice a day. What joy! So far I have three major punctures and a few scratches, including one quite nasty one on my left index finger knuckle. Only 5 more days (10 more tablets) - will I have any unmarked skin left? *Sigh*

  27. Pickle, behave! PM is trying to help you, silly girl.

    Posted 5 months ago by Kilroy #

  28. Oooooh, sounds like a good opportunity, Kilroy. My fingers are crossed for you!

    Just got back from grocery shopping and dog walking. Dog walking was fun - almost stepped on a two foot black snake and got yelled at by a guy who got barked at by the dog I was walking :(

    Went shopping for stuff to make a pasta and shrimp soup tomorrow. It's supposed to cool down into the low 50s, so figure I'll make soup and take it to GG's tomorrow after work. I'm working hard at learning to cook!

  29. Rain changing to snow here in Michigan tonight! I'll take a cup of hot chocolate and a "lap-lock" to keep me alert and focused on my w--k. A lap-lock is what we call our kitties when they sleep on your lap and keep you from getting up. Our current foster is one; such a teddy-bear. My husband is falling for him; unfortunately, Carter hasn't yet figured out his place in the colony. Lots of growling, grumbling and fat-tails every evening.

    Posted 5 months ago by Kiplings_cat #

  30. Yikes on the snake, GD, and boo on the guy who yelled at you. Any idea why the dog barked at him?

    KC, I hope your furry family settles down soon & lets the foster relax. Poor Carter :(
