The CAT room!

Olga, Hoping for a carefree Christmas for you and the flat cat. :-)

Mikey!
<smooch, smooch, smooch> How lovely to hear from you, you naughty, naughty critter!
Turkey, hey? Roberta's very good to you!
And, pray tell, any treats from you to her?

I'll try, Roberta, I'll try! Thank you!
And I hope it snows for you, Roberta. I know how much you love that!

Olga, It's snowing right now. :-)

Hurray! Doncha love it, Roberta?

New cats around! My friend Nicole - who lives with three cats - spent her vacation at a hazienda in Spain. And came back with a little black cat - who is pregnant. So now Nicole's boyfriend has a cat, the little black one - her ex-husband will soon have one or two kittens - her colleague will soon have a kitten. Don't you think they are lucky? By the way - Nicole's cats can be seen here: Nicole's cats

And my sister gets regular visits from a little tiger. He comes in the cat door in the basement, goes to the kitchen go eat (and fight with Hexe from time to time), then he leaves through the cat door in the basement. I think Hexe is getting used to him...

Don't talk to me about cats! It is only five am - and I was woken by being run over by a bunch of claws and yowls - they having decided it was just the time for a game of chasey!

(It is summer, and HOT - there was nothing between me and the claws...)

only 1 sensible suggestion - have the critters wear socks!

Poor Deb!!! I know so very well what you are talking about.

Margo - great idea! But in summer let them wear sandals.

cut their damned paws off.....let 'em try playing chasey on STUMPS....

they are sitting here now as if butter wouldn't melt...

Only idle threats - but, with any luck, THEY don't know that.....

They'd probably want those heavy Birkenstocks - and that's pose a different problem.
Good to see you back, Urs - I was wondering whathad happened to you!

isn't Poss getting hot in that get-up? lol!

You can get little plastic claw covers for the beasties... the company sez:


Sounds simple to me... ever read that old joke about how to give a cat a pill?

LOL! I could prolly do it - but it is not generally necessary. Not sure if they have 'em in Oz - I just trim the claws usually.

Sure, Wy. A motionless cat for 3 minutes while the glue on 18 claw covers sets up.

Yes, I did hear the joke.

Does that come with some kind of protection for the owner? I can just our sweet little Mysan turning into a monster!

Hi Margo,

Well, I guess I was sitting at the computer too much at work. Just could not take it in the evening. But I will have lots of free time during my Christmas vacation :-)

Hi urs--wonderful to see you again. the pictures were beautiful. Makes me miss you and Big Dice.
