    Ann, that was a cat sitting in the dark looking at a laptop screen. I went through 3 different avatars in about 5 minutes. I'll stop changing them....for today.

      Well, since changing avatars is so trendy, I tried to change mine. I was told "Upload failed" but there it is anyway.

      Sooner or later it may disappear. It probably needs more resizing. Anyway it's Phoebe. I was her human for the last 9 years of her life.

        Agate, I was getting that same message today too, And like you, I just went on, and there it was. Phoebe......where did the name come from?

          It was the name her previous humans gave her. I'm not sure where they got it. It seemed like a good choice, a less common name for a cat that wasn't your ordinary cat, or at least IMO she wasn't. Half Himalayan and half who-knows-what, she was an interesting mix. Her personality was unlike any other cat's of my acquaintance. She was quite the conversationalist. Some people said it was the Siamese part of her (1/4 Siamese by my calculations).

          I've heard that Siamese cats have quite different personalities and do "talk" a lot. I've never known a Siamese cat well and so can't say.

            Seven was named after Seven of Nine, a Star Trek character, and Sam was named Samantha when I got her. She was just a kitten when I got her, and why she was named then given away, I don't get. But I love both.

            Oh, Sam is the big talker. Both talk for food. Sam wants cheese, and Seven wants the sliced turkey I get for them. I hear it's good.

              You clearly haven't ever sampled the cheese or the sliced turkey. Good kitties are those who have their humans so well trained.

                I did get to sample the Whisker Lickin' treats when they weren't looking. Not bad!

                  I never realized Seven was named after a Star Trek character. I thought it was just Howie being weird again!

                    He had a cat named T'Pol too.

                            Cats running a space ship--now there's an unsettling thought.

                                Good morning sleepyheads!!!

                                The antenna man has been at it again. I didn't add anymore antennas, just got things more organized. It was just a MASS of wires and cables behind the TV, but it looks neat now. You did know I'm a neat freak, didn't you?

                                I have someone coming this week to mow my WAY too tall grass. My sister found him for me. I think from her church. And me with two devil cats. I'll be sure to keep them inside.

                                Everyone have a great day!
