For Jill- Re: CINDY

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry you can't take your kitty with you. I hope all goes well when she goes

to your parents and you can visit.

We are looking for a place with our furbabies in mind...never thought i'd say

that. We have 7 cats, 2 dogs. And I can't imagine how i'd choose which to give

away. I tried to give a friends daughter one of the siblings we had kept from an

abandoned pregnant white cat, one kitty got sick wouldn't eat / or wean so we

took momy with baby to hospital and a nurse adopted them on the spot since we

are strapped. But thankfully the other " 4 " were just 'barely' weaned. I hated

that they had an abrupt departure but had to think of the baby, If we hadn't got

him to the hospital that morning he would have died.

Oh the friends daughter lost her 20 days, thank goodness she was finally found &

brought back to me. I was so depressed the whole time.

Most of our cat's we obtained were abandoned as babies or the siblings were born

after taking in the mommy. I got my deerhead little guard dog because some jerk

left her locked in an abandoned apt. across the st' and the manager knew we took

care of animals. My neighbor couldn't take the queensland so we tried to place,

then my husband fell in love with him, so we got him fixed and he's our outside

guard dog.

I do speak the cat language...hehe, even my massager purrs they like that. One

is very much a stinker, she wants me to get up, carry her to the bathroom to her

bowl...she reaches up like a child. It's so precious. But if i don't want to get

up when she tells me she has jumped on me, then of course she' finds herself on

the floor...lol

She looks like the " Fancy " cat on the can's and that's her diet.

Spoiled...

We have a 25+lb burmese, who just turned 13 yrs old

two calico' girls 7 yrs old -one is 6months older than the other.

and the four siblings -2 white short hair boys, 1 " fancy " fluffy girl

and their sister who we call champaine, fluffy but has stripes and bubbles on

her fur. All blue eyes, NONE DEAF. One boy has one blue/ one green eye. Calico's

are yellow and amber eyes.

I think the folder is available to non members, you can see all my furbabies at

http://www.myspace.com/aquamarine_sea.

I have to take care of my nightly chores and try to get some sleep, my older son

is coming to visit in the morning -haven't seen him in a year and half.

I did a dumb thing today. fighting with a migraine, couldn't sleep and my

husband had a frozen cola...which i've not touched in over 2 yrs. Well I think

something happened after I drank it, I went and crashed big time. It did help me

with the migraine and I did need the sleep but it made me nervous that I know

the sugar affected me.

Hope your weekend is going well.

Take care.

they have claws and their longish legs and when they walk on me and also when

they do the kneading thing they do - lots of pain, lots of tenderness -

sometimes I wish they would listen when I tell them to keep their claws

sheathed.

> > I don't speak their dialect I guess - They seem to know the exact tender

spot to stand on - it wouldn't be so bad if they would just move the the next

area instead of STANDING THERE thinking about it. LOL. Sometimes I cry -

end and almost break down crying when someone does hug me. I'm too afraid to get

into a he/she relationship - been harmed too many times by too many men. I know

the dynamics, but don't know how to deal with it except for abstaining from love

- so I guess the chocolate and sugars are my way of feeling loved.
