Missing large

Cat staff since 12 when a teacher gave me one of litter. Once married a cat that resembled the first, came up to the porch to join a party and stayed for 12 years. Of the 11 who have allowed us to serve, 10 have been rescues, and 6 Siamese(3 chocolate point, 2 chocolate Applehead, and 1 lilac). The first of the chocolate points was named by a rescuer - Cafe au Lait, and the Cafe name has continued in Cafe Latte, and Cafe Mocha. The rescues have not been sought but either given to us or came on their own. They seem to know when there is a vacancy and show up to fill it. While we mourn those that are gone, they are only physically gone. We still giggle over a roast dragged halfway across the floor, or pathetically meowing strained on a neighbor's roof only to be at the food dish minutes later. Same strained pathetic cat the next day. After a discussion with her about the neighbor cutting down the dogwood she used to get on the roof(he hated cats), she never climbed upon a roof again.

    Smarty Pants smiled when the photographer said smile to me. He is small but has a big personality.

    “FurZapper”. I was tired of continually buying lint roolers that really weren’t effective so paid $12.99 at Wal-Mart. On line there are several sources. FurZapper really works so much better, is resuable, and no fragrance. Not all white cat hair was removed from my fuzzy yoga pants, completely on everything else. Directions state use one disc per pet in the washer and one each in the dryer for each per. Do not use a liquid or sheet softener, wash with dish liquid after each usage to get all of the lint off of the disc, and the same for after using it in the dyer. The colothes seem to be as soft as when using a dryer sheet. Bought a second package so that the washer and dryer could run at the same time.

    Take admiration wherever you can get it. They are mpressed which means they will be more attentive. Unless it means they thinkyou are ancient.

    Soak the shoe laces in hot pepper sauce. One bite and that will be Mittens last time to chew on the lace unless he loves hot spicey foods.

    Even 30 is OLD when you are as old as the children are. When they are 30, even 40, they still are young.

    Most appropriate today. It is Kentucky Derby Day. A true story: I was given a special tour of Smarty Jones at the horse farm where he retired. I stood by him to have my picture taken. When the photographer said “Maile” he turned his head to look at the camera. Apparently, he was a ham and loved to have his picture taken.
