[[16:34] * KK has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:34] * KK sets mode: +q KK
[16:34] <DeryniBot> Welcome KK to all things Katherine Kurtz
[16:34] <Shiral> Oh I hope so, Mak
[16:34] <Mistyck> hi KK
[16:34] <Krysta> lol
[16:34] <Mak> hi, kk
[16:34] <jp> kk, hi
[16:34] <Mistyck> how are you?
[16:34] <Krysta> hi kk
[16:34] <Shiral> Hello Katherine! =o)
[16:34] <Dov> hi katherine
[16:34] <KK> Hi, guys.
[16:34] <KK> Mak, how are the kittens?
[16:34] <Mak> They are adorably wonderful!
[16:34] <JastaElf> Hi Katherine
[16:35] * jp shock at kk early arival
[16:35] <Mistyck> hehehe
[16:35] <Mak> Getting bigger and faster every day!
[16:35] * Shiral agrees with jp
[16:35] <KK> I saw the pics yesterday; adorable, indeed!
[16:35] * ethan has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:35] <DeryniBot> Welcome ethan to all things Katherine Kurtz
[16:35] <Mistyck> hi Ethan
[16:35] <KK> They are really lucky.
[16:35] <Shiral> Hello Ethan
[16:35] <Mak> Hi, Ethan
[16:35] <KK> Hi, Jasta.
[16:35] <ethan> Hello everyone
[16:35] <JastaElf> How's it going over in Ireland?
[16:35] <the_Bee> hi kk
[16:35] <KK> And Shiral, how is Nina?
[16:35] <jp> hi ethan
[16:35] <Mak> Yes, they are! With her so close to delivery when the
girls found her, I shudder to think...
[16:36] <Shiral> Nina is scampering around, being adorable
[16:36] <KK> I just cannot imagine how anyone could put her into a tub
like that. If it had capsized, she wouldn've drowned.
[16:36] <Shiral> She has a tiny little cold, but it's not slowing her
down, much
[16:36] <KK> would've
[16:36] <Krysta> feeding time for the little kittens
[16:36] <Mak> Someone with no heart at all
[16:36] <Shiral> Thank goodness for Jasmine's sake, it didn't
[16:36] <Tika> heya KK
[16:36] <Shiral> That wretched person deserves to be sent to sea in a
sieve!
[16:36] <KK> Hi, Tika. And how is your new addition?
[16:37] <JastaElf> Anyone who would put ANY animal, much less a preggy
one, into a container and toss them into a river should be whipped.
:-(
[16:37] <Tika> he's officially been labeled a terrorist
[16:37] <KK> Or worse.
[16:37] <Shiral> At very least
[16:37] <Mak> At the very least, Jasta
[16:37] <Shiral> gmta, mak
[16:37] <Mak> yes!
[16:37] <KK> And how is Mistyck's kitten?
[16:37] <Shiral> I was thinking more along the lines of bamboo slivers
under the finger nails, but a whipping will do
[16:37] <Tika> I think Neko is now in his adolescent stage, testing
his limits every moment of the day...
[16:38] <Mak> We could do both...
[16:38] <Tika> we will fix that soon, tho
[16:38] <KK> How old is Neko now?
[16:38] <Shiral> Neko the Terrorist--it has a certain ring
[16:38] <the_Bee> snip-snip, Tika?
[16:38] <Tika> almost 4 months
[16:38] * Dov sends out karma vibes to the torturer/terrorist
[16:38] <Mak> Indeed, it does
[16:38] <Tika> yes bee.. "fix" being the operative (heh) word
[16:39] <Shiral> Neko has no idea what he's in for.
[16:39] <Shiral> Of course, neither does Nina
[16:39] <Tika> muhahaha
[16:39] <Mak> Neko is lucky- the boys have it so much easier....
[16:39] <Mak> And it looks like we have 5 girls in this litter!
[16:39] <Shiral> oh wow!
[16:39] <Tika> wow
[16:39] <the_Bee> is there a minimum age reccommendation for fixing?
[16:39] <Tika> a kitten machine
[16:39] * jp I've heard of people adopting elephants and gorilas, can
i adopt some of your cats? I'll send some kitty litter and you send me
a photo and regular updates
[16:39] <Shiral> How have your cats been, KK?
[16:39] <Tika> I believe it's 6 months
[16:40] <Mak> It can be done as young as 6-8 weeks
[16:40] <KK> Yeah. Over here, though, they go in through the flank
instead of the tummy; less stress on the incision, and they heal
faster.
[16:40] * kirienne has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:40] <DeryniBot> Welcome kirienne to all things Katherine Kurtz
[16:40] <KK> 5 girls. Yike!
[16:40] <Tika> probably depends on the vet too
[16:40] <kirienne> hi everyone
[16:40] <Mak> Hi, kirienne
[16:40] <ethan> hi Kirienne
[16:40] <jp> hi, kiri
[16:40] <Krysta> ih kirienne
[16:40] <Krysta> *hi
[16:40] <JastaElf> Hi kirienne!
[16:40] <the_Bee> hi Kirienne
[16:40] <KK> But it leaves a hole in their furs for several months;
more noticeable than a tummy-shave.
[16:41] <Shiral> Hi Kirienne
[16:41] * the_Bee sets out plate of chocolate chip cookies and plate
of ginger snaps
[16:41] <Mak> But less stressful would be worth it, certainly
[16:41] * TheCatWhisperer has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:41] <DeryniBot> Welcome TheCatWhisperer to all things Katherine
Kurtz
[16:41] <ethan> hi cw!!!
[16:41] <Shiral> Cesca's fur is finally growing back
[16:41] <Shiral> hi cw
[16:41] <Mak> hi, cw
[16:41] <jp> hi cat
[16:42] <TheCatWhisperer> hi
[16:42] * kirienne sets put bottles of Fianna Red
[16:42] <the_Bee> imho fast healing trumps appearance
[16:42] <Mak> I agree, Bee
[16:42] <TheCatWhisperer> What's this about Cesca's fur?
[16:42] <Shiral> Where she was shaved for her C-section, Beee
[16:42] * kirienne can't type today...looks like bad rental fingers
[16:42] <KK> Growing back, after her C-section.
[16:42] <jp> Shiral has had a transplant
[16:43] * Tika hands out cucumber melon fragranced votive candles
[16:43] <Shiral> It's very soft and velvety right now
[16:43] <kirienne> glad to hear Cesca is getting fur back, Shiral
[16:43] * Dov sets out toasted pita wedges and raita (yogurt dip)
[16:43] <jp> onto the palms of her hands
[16:43] <Mak> Ooh, thanks, Tika!
[16:43] <TheCatWhisperer> Ethan! :-) Glad you could make it
[16:43] <the_Bee> Did you have the vet neutr her at the same time,
Shiral?
[16:43] <Shiral> yes, bee
[16:43] <ethan> me too thanks
[16:43] <Shiral> NO more kittens for miss Cesca
[16:43] <KK> Smart vet.
[16:44] <Mistyck> I think she's in her first heat, Katherine
[16:44] <Mistyck> she's meowing like crazy
[16:44] <the_Bee> smart Shiral
[16:44] <Shiral> Nice fellow
[16:44] <Shiral> His name is Doctor Mell <G>
[16:44] <ethan> Good to see you here too Cat
[16:44] <Shiral> I'm getting quite a lot of insight into the Feline
life cycle this year
[16:44] <Shiral> =o)
[16:44] <kirienne> lol
[16:44] <Mistyck> hehe
[16:45] <KK> Time for the snip, then, Mistyck.
[16:45] <Mistyck> yep
[16:45] <Mistyck> next month!
[16:45] <Mistyck> I had major expenses on car repairs this month!
[16:45] <Shiral> Pan and Cesca have vigorous chase-races all over the
apartment on a daily basis
[16:45] <Mak> I have to bring Max for his annual vet exam this week
(Jasmine goes in next) but I am bringing pictures. My vet and her
assts would never forgive me if I didn't!
[16:45] <Shiral> And a nightly one, too
[16:45] <Mistyck> hehe
[16:45] <Tika> Neko and Marnin's dog, Peaches, have those daily....at
around 5:30 AM
[16:46] <Mak> Not the best time, Tika
[16:46] <Mak> Have you told them that?
[16:46] <Tika> it sounds vaguely like a herd of elephants running
through the house
[16:46] <Shiral> I was awakened by galloping paws on Friday morning
about that time
[16:46] <TheCatWhisperer> When you have cats, who needs TV?! :-)
[16:46] <Tika> yes... they don't seem to understand the concept of
time for some odd reason
[16:46] <Mistyck> normally, Evaine does kamakaze runs on Chance who
ignores her and keeps waddling away
[16:46] <kirienne> well Shiral, at least they like each other enough
to play together
[16:46] <Shiral> Get them little wrist watches, Tika <G>
[16:46] <KK> Gus just jumped up on my lap.
[16:46] <Mistyck> hehe
[16:47] * Shiral reaches through KK's computer screen to give Gus an
ear Scritch
[16:47] <Mistyck> kitties are supposed to do that!
[16:47] <Mak> the paws say hi! to gus
[16:47] <Shiral> How has everything been at HOlybrooke, Katherine?
[16:47] <KK> Yes, but now he'll try to eat my rings and fingers.
[16:47] <jp> a herd of elephants? How big is neko?
[16:47] <Tika> Neko is partial to toes
[16:47] <Krysta> sure i got up and the kitty stole my seat
[16:47] <Mistyck> Evaine is finally quiet for now so I won't tell
Gus-Cat is around!
[16:47] <Shiral> That could get painful
[16:47] <Dov> oh they probably understand time, tika, they just
operate on animal standard time
[16:47] <Tika> and feet
[16:47] <the_Bee> When we were kids my sister's cat decided she wanted
to raise her offspring in the pantry rag drawer. Mom lined a box with
rags, put the kitten in, and shut the drawer. Mama Tinkerbell took
the kitten out of the box and tried to stuff it into the closed
drawer.
[16:47] <Mak> Until the kittens start roaring about, mine are too fat
and lazy to wake us that early
[16:48] <Wrengl> hi katherine
[16:48] <Mak> The dog is another story
[16:48] <KK> Busy. Scott's mom arrived on Monday, we got carpets into
two rooms (including hers) just before she arrived, we had no power to
the sockets upstairs last weekend--which is why I wasn't here
lastweek....
[16:48] <Shiral> Irish Electricity
[16:48] <ethan> hi Wrengl
[16:48] <Dov> oog
[16:48] <TheCatWhisperer> Hi Jasta, my muse
[16:48] <Mak> Ick- no power is no fun
[16:48] <Krysta> In the way, you mean dear? or, lets go i'm ready!
[16:49] <Wrengl> hi catwhispera
[16:49] <Wrengl> hello dov
[16:49] <Wrengl> hi ethan
[16:49] <Wrengl> hi kirienne
[16:49] <KK> Nope, weird circuit breaker. The ele trician had to come
and sort it out on Mondyay.
[16:49] <Shiral> Jasta is checking on family dinner
[16:49] <Dov> hi wrengl and je
[16:49] <Mak> Getting me out of bed far too early, Kryss!
[16:49] <TheCatWhisperer> Hi Wrengl
[16:49] <Wrengl> lol mak
[16:49] <Shiral> Our temporary library almost had an electric fire
last weekend
[16:49] <Wrengl> i should be peeling peppers right now
[16:49] <Shiral> Peel Peppers later!
[16:49] <Wrengl> i roasted most of the half bushel we picked yesterday
[16:49] <TheCatWhisperer> yum!
[16:49] <kirienne> yikes Shiral...that would have been horrid, all
those books...
[16:49] <Mak> Oh, yeah- if barking in my ear doesn't work, he just
whacks the bed around!
[16:50] <KK> How many of you are coming to WorldCon?
[16:50] <Wrengl> lol
[16:50] <Shiral> Oh yes, very bad scene, Kirienne
[16:50] <Mak> Ah, we are going to be doing that in a few weeks, Pat
[16:50] <Krysta> oh that malfuction
[16:50] <Wrengl> spook has disvoered that walking on the lap top
results in her getting fed
[16:50] <Shiral> I mean, we're all tired of working with the
limitations of that building, but not to the point of burning it down!
[16:50] <Wrengl> we went picking yesterday
[16:50] <Wrengl> 50 pounds of peaches and nectarines
[16:50] * Mistyck can't make it...gotta work
[16:50] <Wrengl> 8 or apples
[16:50] <Mak> I can't make WorldCon- we will be in PA that weekend
[16:50] <Wrengl> half bushel of onions and peppers
[16:51] <Shiral> I will be in CA that weekend
[16:51] <Shiral> Alas
[16:51] <KK> I don't think we're even going to have many MIchaelines.
[16:51] <Wrengl> shiral
[16:51] <Wrengl> but hopefully we will see you at darkover
[16:51] <kirienne> I wish I were going to worldCon...but unless the
needed money for any trips, cons etc falls from the sky, i'm stuck at
home
[16:51] <Shiral> Do a mini Mass?
[16:51] * jp can't make it, in another country, oops
[16:51] * Mistyck will be at Darkover, come hell or high water!
[16:51] <Dov> where did you go picking, wrengl?
[16:51] <ethan> I'm in the same boat as Kirienne
[16:51] <Shiral> If I win the lottery between now and then, I'll try
[16:51] <Mak> We ordered New Mexico greens for the chilis, Pat
[16:51] <Wrengl> lol
[16:52] <KK> Ooooh can't do peppers of any kind.
[16:52] * Shiral wonders if she dare asks if any writing happened this
past week....
[16:52] <KK> I wish....
[16:52] <jp> are you going to be at Worldcon 2005 KK?
[16:52] <Mak> Gotta have the "good stuff" for World's, y'know!
[16:52] <the_Bee> I have my noreascon membership, but no hotel room.
I need to check my type of membership
[16:52] <Shiral> I guess that answers that
[16:52] <KK> Yep, wouldn't miss it! Practically in our back yard.
[16:52] <Shiral> Noisy neighbors <G>
[16:53] <Shiral> All running around in costumes in your back yard...
[16:53] <Mak> That's what is disappointing about this year- it IS
practically in my backyard, but just bad timing!
[16:53] <jp> Will try and make it to that one
[16:53] <the_Bee> Pat and Kathi picked a peck of unpeeled peppers
[16:53] <Shiral> Not in My backyard, unless it includes the entire
continent <G>
[16:53] <TheCatWhisperer> lol, bee!
[16:54] <Krysta> Catch you all later, I'm leaving for a bit
[16:54] <Shiral> Bye, Krysta

[16:55] * Mistyck will be there come hell or high water also!
[16:55] * Krysta has quit IRC
[16:55] <Mistyck> trying to save up for it already
[16:55] <Shiral> After Cesca's C-Section, I really didn't want to have
to hit Mom up for Worldcon funds
[16:55] <Dov> ok, new angle-land.
[16:55] <Shiral> Interesting Angle
[16:55] * jp Glasgow, scotch whiskey, kilts, the skirl of the pipes
etc
[16:55] <TheCatWhisperer> lol!
[16:56] <KK> LOL, yep. And Ann and Martine and I are going to have a
slumber party at Ann's, instead of staying at one of the hotels.
[16:56] <Mistyck>
[16:56] <Mak> Hey, CW- Kryss wants to know: mtfbwy?
[16:56] <Dov> or Englaloande

[16:57] <TheCatWhisperer> hi rd
[16:57] <Shiral> I've been offline a lot this week
[16:57] <Mak> Hi, Debbie
[16:57] <Shiral> Hi Debbie
[16:57] <Wrengl> spoke to her on AIM several times
[16:57] <ethan> Hi Debbie
[16:57] <Debbie-VB> Hi everybody
[16:57] <kirienne> hi Debbie
[16:57] <Wrengl> hi debbie
[16:57] <KK> hi, vb.
[16:57] <jp> Debbie, hi
[16:57] <the_Bee> hi Deb
[16:57] <TheCatWhisperer> Hi Debbie
[16:57] <Shiral> Family is in town-- all four Houles together at once
doesn't happen very often
[16:57] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, Katherine. How long have you been
here?
[16:57] <KK> About 20 min?
[16:57] <Wrengl> spoke to her here one night, when i was looking for
dnd help
[16:58] <Shiral> I'm taking a break from family to chat.
[16:58] <RainbowDragon> Jasta is here too!
[16:58] <Wrengl> to sedina that is
[16:58] <the_Bee> hope it's a Houling success, Shiral
[16:58] <Shiral> I was thinking "Oh, Katherine may not make it this
week....
[16:58] <Mistyck> hi rd
[16:58] <Mistyck> KK: Kim's doing pretty good for now
[16:58] <JastaElf> Hi RD, I'm here between running back and forth to
get dinner on the table
[16:58] <RainbowDragon> Hiyas, Mistyck
[16:58] <KK> No, I missed last week, so I wanted to be here tonight,
if only for a little while.
[16:58] <Shiral> It's been fun, we either boff each other with
styrofoam noodles in the pool, or we sit, eat and watch the Olympics
[16:58] <ethan> I am very glad KK is here on my first trip back
[16:59] <Mak> Sounds like a good gathering of the clan, Shiral!
[16:59] <Debbie-VB> and I missed the week before. was marching with
my church in the vancouver Pride parade
[16:59] <Shiral> I'm glad you made it, KK <G>
[16:59] <KK> We missed the first half of the opening, but I understand
it was awesome.
[16:59] <kirienne> that's nice shiral...glad you are having a nice
family visit
[16:59] <TheCatWhisperer> it was!
[16:59] <Shiral> Although I will bring a propitiating gift of
chocolate chip cookies with me
[16:59] <Mak> I missed the whole thing- had to catch up with pictures
the next day
[16:59] <Wrengl> it was awesome
[16:59] <Shiral> I missed the first half, too
[16:59] <jp> best Olympic opening EVER
[16:59] <Shiral> But they did a great job
[17:00] <Wrengl> we saw the Iraqis beat costa rica in soccer
[17:00] <Shiral> The nations came in according to the Greek Alphabet--
it was hard to know whether we were close to the end or not!
[17:01] <Wrengl> indeed
[17:01] <TheCatWhisperer> But nice touch :-)
[17:01] <RainbowDragon> KK: since I missed it earlier, how is castle
construction and book writing going?
[17:01] <Shiral> It was very colorful, and they had great fireworks
[17:01] <KK> I liked the outfits the women were wearing, who carried
the country signs; reminded me of Mycenean vases.
[17:01] <kirienne> I missed the whole thing. I've been working 10 and
1- 1/2 days for the past week or so, too tired to watch tv
[17:01] <JastaElf> I hear you there kirienne. Saw pics tho
[17:01] <Shiral> They were neat costumes
[17:01] * JastaElf has spent too much time in the car driving back and
forth to New England...
[17:02] <Shiral> WE actually had a small fireworks display on my mom's
birthday last Wednesday
[17:02] <KK> Kitchen is now fitted, tiler does the kitchen tile
tomorrow; also the second bathroom. Carpets in two rooms in the main
house, including "your" bedroom, Shiral.
[17:02] * Martine has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:02] <DeryniBot> Welcome Martine to all things Katherine Kurtz
[17:02] <Wrengl> hi martine
[17:02] <Shiral> My brother had saved them from Fourth of July
[17:02] <JastaElf> Hi martine!
[17:02] <Shiral> Hi Martine
[17:02] <Martine> hi all! huggles!
[17:02] <Mak> Hi, Martine
[17:02] <ethan> Hi Martine
[17:02] <Martine> Katherine! Hi! Long time no chat :-)
[17:02] <TheCatWhisperer> Hi Martine
[17:02] <jp> martine, my little chickadee
[17:02] <KK> Hi, Martine! How're your felines?
[17:02] <kirienne> the past 4 work days, I was the last one on our
side of the building..to leave
[17:02] <kirienne> hi Martine
[17:02] <Shiral> He had a little platform for them, and set the
platform afloat on the pool
[17:03] <Martine> They've almost negotiated a cease-fire, if not an
actual treaty :-)
[17:03] <Mak> Chickadee? Martine? Hmmm- wouldn't be my first
thought.....
[17:03] <KK> Good news, then.
[17:03] <Martine> lol, mak!
[17:03] * the_Bee buzzes hello to Martine and her 2-and-4-4-legged
companions
[17:03] <Shiral> So you won't have to build a wall through your house,
that's good, Martine <G>
[17:03] <Mak> But then it wouldn't be for me, either!!!
[17:03] <Martine> I bought Rowena a Panic Mouse toy, which has a motor
that swishes a fur lure around. It also has a 15-minute timer to play
Rowena to death so she's too tired to harrass Arwen! <g>
[17:03] <Martine> LOl, Shiral! Nope, no walls here.
[17:04] <JastaElf> IBB shortly, gotta put dinner on the table....
[17:04] <Shiral> Partitioning property can be SUCH a pain!
[17:04] <Mak> That's the plan, Martine- exhaust the kitty!
[17:04] <kirienne> lol martine
[17:04] <KK> LOL, Martine. That sounds like a good toy!
[17:04] <Shiral> I've got one. Izzy and Pan were not greatly amused
[17:04] <Martine> I held off for a long time because it costs $30, but
turns out to be the best $30 I've spent on her so far
[17:04] <Debbie-VB> Martine, that sounds totally evil, (speaking as a
cat you understand)
[17:04] <Shiral> Nina might be, though
[17:04] <Mak> That should have been: exhaust the kitty into
submission!
[17:04] <RainbowDragon> Jasta, the trick is to eat early on Sunday
like I do :-)
[17:05] <Martine> lol you've got it mak!
[17:05] <Martine> Shiral, hae you tried it on Cesca & Nina?
[17:05] <JastaElf> LOL! Nice work if I could get it, RD... back in a
sec!~
[17:05] <Shiral> Not yet
[17:05] <Debbie-VB> or move to the we(s)t coast so you can chat at 3
PM
[17:05] <Martine> And how are the kittens all around?
[17:05] <Shiral> No hurricanes on this coast <G>
[17:05] <Mak> Mine are adroable!
[17:05] <jp> best way to exhaust a kitty, give it a flat roof and a
sunny afternoon
[17:05] <Mak> As is Momma Cat
[17:05] <Shiral> Nina got a mass admiration session from my mom,
brother, sister and sister in law this morning
[17:06] <KK> Jasmine is one lucky kitty.
[17:06] <Martine> Sounds like Nina's being well socialized :-)
[17:06] <Mak> We have a steady stream of Kitten Admirers here....
[17:06] <Martine> And Jasmine is indeed a very lucky and now
well-loved kitty :-)
[17:06] <Shiral> She rose to the occasion like a star, but Cesca was a
little nervous about all the big feet near her baby
[17:06] <KK> Any reservations for parents?
[17:06] <Mak> She has taken very well to being loved that's for sure
[17:06] <Shiral> Then she stopped fussing when my sister picked her up
and paid some attention to her
[17:07] <Martine> Love is all that sweet kitty needed - for her and
her kittens!
[17:07] <Mistyck> hiyas Martine!
[17:07] <Shiral> Love, food and safety, those are the big ones
[17:07] <Martine> hi mistyck!
[17:07] <Mak> Yes, indeed
[17:07] <Debbie-VB> doh't forget admiration
[17:07] <Wrengl> katherine, turns out we have about 2 dozen
kittenfish, not 6 or 7
[17:07] <Shiral> Never hurt a cat yet, Admiration
[17:07] <Martine> LOL! And servants. All cats need servants
[17:07] <Wrengl>
[17:07] <KK> Staff.
[17:08] <Mak> Oh, there are always more than you think, Pat!
[17:08] <Shiral> A full time devoted staff, yes
[17:08] <Debbie-VB> that's what humans are for
[17:08] <Martine> lol
[17:08] <TheCatWhisperer> KK, you missed the Catsicle story
[17:08] <jp> keep them away from curriosity
[17:08] <Wrengl> well that is it since we changed the tank
[17:08] <Martine> Has anyone heard from Kim? I know she's at the
family farm, but it sounded like she was determined to dial in to
chat.
[17:08] <Mak> And I've got to go- being called to kitchen duty!
[17:08] <Shiral> I haven't, but then I've been offline most of the
weekend
[17:08] <Wrengl> have not seen her today
[17:08] <KK> Catsicle? Kittenfish?
[17:08] <Shiral> lol
[17:08] <kirienne> see ya Mak
[17:08] <KK> Nighters, Mak.
[17:09] <Wrengl> yesterday we were in NJ picking fruits and veggies so
was not on line
[17:09] <jp> see ya Mak

[17:09] <Shiral> How inconvenient of Kitchen duty
[17:09] <Mistyck> g'nite Mak
[17:09] <Debbie-VB> {{{{{{{huggles}}}}}}}}}}}} Mak
[17:09] <Wrengl> out catfish had babies last week katherine
[17:09] <Shiral> Huggles for all four foots, Mak
[17:09] <Dov> take care mak
[17:09] <Wrengl> catfish babies = kittenfish
[17:09] <KK> ah.
[17:09] <Mak> Well, I think I get to make drinks....
[17:09] * Mak Quit
[17:09] <TheCatWhisperer> A cat I had a long time ago got in the
freezer
[17:09] <Martine> For a moment I thought you had another litter or two
of fur-children, Pat! And that they'd decided to go for a swim
[17:10] <the_Bee> catsicle: CW found her cat in the freezer
[17:10] <Dov> eek
[17:10] <Wrengl> well we had another litter last month, martine
[17:10] <Shiral> More than once, I recall
[17:10] <KK> Very quickly, I hope.
[17:10] <jp> i knew cats were cool but...........
[17:10] <Martine> oh my! more kittens!
[17:10] <Dov> what part of nj, wrengl?
[17:10] <Shiral> I know, it's kind of taking it to extremes
[17:10] <Wrengl> another three martine
[17:10] * Debbie-VB wishes she could have a kitty
[17:10] <Wrengl> led by dora the explorer
[17:11] <Shiral> I've decided three is my limit
[17:11] <Martine> LOL! Sounds like one very rambunctious kitty!
[17:11] <Wrengl> that we may have a home for but husband thinks he
they are too old in early 60s for a kitten
[17:11] <KK> Three is a good number.
[17:11] <TheCatWhisperer> Don't worry, I got the cat out while she was
still alive
[17:11] <Wrengl> afraid it will outlive them
[17:11] <Shiral> It is
[17:11] <Martine> I know what you mean. TWo is my limit. in our small
space Though I almost changed my mind yesterday when I met a whole
gaggle of kittens for adoption at the pet store :-P
[17:11] <Shiral> Although it's rather amazing that even a kitten as
small as Nina can feel as big as a water buffalo when I'm sharing my
bed with her and two adult cats
[17:12] <Wrengl> others are spot (mostly white face with spot in the
white) and whitely (white face)
[17:12] <KK> I suspect John might draw the line there.
[17:12] <Wrengl> tabbies
[17:12] <Martine> lol, shiral!
[17:12] <kirienne> lol martine
[17:12] <Shiral> Martine, you've GOT to stop coming home with more
kittens!
[17:12] <Martine> And yes, Katherine, John would absolutely draw the
line!
[17:12] <Wrengl> lol
[17:12] <Martine> LOL! but I've never come home with ANY kittens. Just
full-grown cats! <g>
[17:12] <Shiral> Well, you'd miss John at first, but you'd get used to
it.....
[17:12] <Martine> lmao!!!
[17:12] <Martine> No, two is more than enough. A third would give poor
Arwen a full-fledged nervous breakdown.
[17:13] <jp> cats like elephants and buffalo, what do you guys feed
them?
[17:13] <Shiral> You've got him nicely softened up, after all
[17:13] <Shiral> Just tell him "One cat leads to another, darling..."
[17:13] <Wrengl> lol
[17:13] * Dov chuckles
[17:13] <Martine> LOL! And then I turn into the cat lady :-P
[17:13] <Wrengl> tell him to think of cats as tribbles
[17:13] <Shiral> Hey, i't not so bad! I'm already the cat lady...
[17:13] <Dov> :-d
[17:13] <Wrengl> you have a ways to go to catch up to us, martine
[17:13] <Debbie-VB> realllly independant tribbles
[17:14] <kirienne> LOL, that would really make poor John draw th eline
[17:14] <Mistyck> oh, no! the trouble with tribbles!!!!!!
[17:14] <Martine> You're talking to someone who has lots of family
that believe in large cat herds <grin>
[17:14] <the_Bee> that'll reallllly scare him!
[17:14] <Wrengl> tee hee
[17:14] <KK> Yes, born pregnant, as I recall. (Are Cesca and Jasmine
tribbles, perhaps?)
[17:14] <Martine> Take my aunt & uncle. They're "down" to 15 now.
Though at least they live on an old farm property, and the cats live
outside.
[17:14] <Shiral> WEll, I suppose you can wait a little while before
adding a third cat, Martine <G>
[17:14] <Shiral> Cesca must be a tribble, yes
[17:14] <Shiral> <g>
[17:15] <Shiral> My brother David's cat's name actually IS tribble
[17:15] <Shiral> Tribble, rather
[17:15] <Martine> lol!
[17:15] <KK> Cool.
[17:15] <Shiral> She's about six months old, and very round, and she's
a calico kitten
[17:15] <Martine> Rowena's nickname is turning out to be "Furbrain".
She's even starting to respond to it.
[17:15] <Wrengl> lol shiral
[17:15] <Debbie-VB> awwwwwwwwwwwwwww she sounds cute
[17:15] * kirienne thinks Martine needs farm property..she could have
many kitties, and a horese or two, an dcould go riding by just walking
out her back door
[17:16] <KK> Cameron used to call one of his cats Fuzz-Wit.
[17:16] <Shiral> Jaye, my sister in law says David goes around the
house saying "She's so CUTE!"
[17:16] <Martine> Oooo! I like the way you think, Kirienne!
[17:16] <Shiral> Riding not to hound but to cat <G>
[17:16] <Martine> And yes, the same aunt and uncle used to have a
horse on their property :-)
[17:16] <Shiral> You could have a horse and a cat hunting pack <G>
[17:16] <Martine> Living in the barn with the umpteen-gazillion cats
(over 30 when the horse was alive)
[17:16] <Dov> lol
[17:17] <Martine> Fizz-wit! I love it!
[17:17] <Martine> Or Fuzz-wit. Silly fingers
[17:17] * jp "The wondeful thing about Tribbles, is tribbles are
wonderful things, Their heads are made out of Tribble, their tails are
made of the same thing, their Tribble, Tribble Tribble, funfunfunfun,
about the most wonderful thing about Tribbles is there's one trillion
and one."
[17:17] <KK> Actually, it may have been Fizz-Wit. They're both good
names.
[17:17] <Shiral> I've called my cats Fuzz-Butt, but very rarey
Fuzz-Wit
[17:17] <KK> lol, jp.
[17:18] <TheCatWhisperer> ditto!
[17:18] <Martine> lol jp!
[17:18] <ethan> we call my dog the 'galloping goofball'
[17:18] <Shiral> <Giggle>
[17:18] <Martine> Arwen's nickname is "Furball" because she's forever
getting them. So we have Furball & Furbrain :-)
[17:18] <kirienne> lol
[17:18] <Debbie-VB> doesn't that describe most dogs?
[17:18] <ethan> possibly
[17:19] <Martine> qwe3f weweq; qweasdaq234rfc
