[16:30] * KK has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:30] * KK sets mode: +q KK
[16:30] <DeryniBot> KK has taken the Oaths and has become a member of
the Knights Templars
[16:30] <Wrengl> hi katherine!
[16:30] <jp> Bee, the Arnold Schwarzenneger of the internet
[16:30] <Shiral> Hi Katherine
[16:30] <KK> Hello, gang.
[16:30] <jp> KK, hello
[16:30] <Wrengl> glad you liked the karatekat
[16:31] <Shiral> We're being intimate today it seems
[16:31] <Wrengl> looks that way
[16:31] <Shiral> At least thus far
[16:31] * Martine has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:31] <DeryniBot> Welcome Martine to #Deryni_Destinations - The
virtual home of Katherine Kurtz
[16:31] <Martine> hi all! huggles!
[16:31] <jp> Hi, martine
[16:31] <Wrengl> hi martine
[16:31] <Shiral> Hi Martine
[16:31] <KK> It was wonderful. And I even figured out how to save it,
so I can look at it any time I want a reminder of Nicholas--as when
he's sleeping behind my sofa with his belly pressed along the length of
the radiator. What a hoot!
[16:31] * Sedina has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:31] <DeryniBot> Welcome Sedina to #Deryni_Destinations - The
virtual home of Katherine Kurtz
[16:32] <Sedina> Hello!
[16:32] <jp> hi
[16:32] <Shiral> Hi Sedina
[16:32] <Wrengl> hi sedina
[16:32] <Martine> hi sedina!
[16:32] <KK> Hello, Martine & Kim!
[16:32] <Martine> Hi Katherine!
[16:32] <Sedina> Hi, Katherine!
[16:32] <Bynw> hiyas KK
[16:32] <Wrengl> i have banished dora the demon kitten (aka 666 or 999)
[16:32] <KK> BTW, Oswald update. Himself came home from the vet on
Friday, and is hobbling increasingly more steadily.
[16:33] <Martine> Good boy, Oswald!
[16:33] <Wrengl> good for oswald
[16:33] <Sedina> yay, oswald!
[16:33] <jp> Belly pressed to the radiator, i can relate to that
[16:33] <KK> Incidentally, both front legs were broken.
[16:33] <Shiral> Poor Oswald, I hope he'll soon feel better
[16:33] <Shiral> ouch!
[16:33] <Martine> Both of them?
[16:33] <Wrengl> poor puppy dog
[16:33] <KK> Yep.
[16:33] <Shiral> No wonder he couldn't get home!
[16:33] <Martine> Poor puppy!
[16:33] <Sedina> oh my goodness....no wonder!
[16:33] <Wrengl> indeed
[16:33] <jp> What happened to Oswald?
[16:33] <Martine> Did they have to set with pins?
[16:33] <KK> Vet says there must have been a congenital weakness in his
leg bones just above the elbows.
[16:34] <Wrengl> ah
[16:34] <Shiral> That must make it kind of hard for him to eat
[16:34] <KK> Left leg has 14--count 'em!--14 screws, one of them quite
large. The other has 6-8. And both legs have at least one plate, I
think the left has 3.
[16:34] <Martine> Ow! That hurts just reading it!
[16:35] <Sedina> Owie, owie, owie!
[16:35] <Shiral> Oh wow.
[16:35] <KK> Hard to eat? He doesn't even have to get up!
[16:35] <Ghostgames> back (after putting groceries away we had to drive
down to the end of the street where Paul had seen a loose dog... but
his owners had already reined him in again.)
[16:35] <Martine> hi ann!
[16:35] <jp> Was he sky-diving?
[16:35] <Shiral> hi ann
[16:35] <Wrengl> wb ann
[16:35] <Sedina> hi ann
[16:35] <Wrengl> glad about the loose dog
[16:35] <Martine> Hopefully Oswald won't try to jump off a mountain
again <g>
[16:35] <Wrengl> indeed
[16:35] <Shiral> Ah, so Oswald is getting royal treatment? =o)
[16:36] <KK> Romping in a field up on the Little Sugar Loaf--and
apparently stepped into a hole, or fell of the rocks. We'll never
know, and he's not talking.
[16:36] <Shiral> Or even off a sofa
[16:36] <Sedina> after an "adventure" like that, I'm thinking he might
stay closer to home for a while
[16:36] <Wrengl> true
[16:36] <Shiral> Well, he sure won't get far or fast if he tries
[16:36] <Wrengl> but dogs often rebound quite well and off they go
again
[16:36] <Martine> LOL! He's not going much of anywhere for a while.
[16:36] <KK> But he has a fabulous kennel in the great hall now, to
keep him from climbing the stairs until he's healed--which could be 6-8
months for full recovery.
[16:37] <Shiral> A long siege... poor doggy
[16:37] <Martine> And I"ll bet the kitties are happy that there's one
less canine to chase them.
[16:37] <Wrengl> all he needs is one of those eggshell mattresses with
a pillow like thumper had
[16:37] <jp> Healing Woodgies to Oswald
[16:37] <KK> But yesterday, for about half a dozen steps, he was
<trotting> across the forecourt with tail wagging....Go figure.
[16:37] * TerryOBrien has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:37] <DeryniBot> Following a Lehr Cat TerryOBrien enters the chat.
[16:37] <Shiral> Hello Terry
[16:37] <Wrengl> hi terry
[16:37] <Martine> lol silly dog!
[16:37] <jp> hi Terry
[16:37] <Sedina> hi terry
[16:37] <Martine> hi terry!
[16:38] <KK> He gets tired really fast, but stronger each day.
[16:38] <TerryOBrien> Good evening.
[16:38] <Wrengl> sounds like a dog
[16:38] <Martine> Obviously his pain management is working well.
[16:38] <Sedina> In that, I can relate to Oswald
[16:38] <KK> I think the kitties are laughing.
[16:38] <Martine> Hee hee hee!
[16:38] <Wrengl> probably
[16:38] <jp> What breed of doggy?
[16:38] <Shiral> Pan sends his sympathies. At this point, the two
months he was in bandages seems pretty minor
[16:38] <Sedina> It wouldn't surprise me
[16:38] <Wrengl> of course the kitties are laughing
[16:38] <KK> Yep, he's on a liquid once a day that goes right onto his
food, and apparently doesn't taste nasty--so he just scarfs it up.
[16:39] <Wrengl> they didn't do something like that
[16:39] <Shiral> I wonder if they'll start teasing the poor old guy =o)
"Ha ha ha, you can't move fast enough to catch us..."
[16:39] * Debbie-VB has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:39] <DeryniBot> Debbie-VB has taken the Oaths and has become a
member of the Knights Templars
[16:39] <jp> hi, vb
[16:39] <Sedina> Hi Debbie
[16:39] <Wrengl> hi debbie
[16:39] <Shiral> Hi Debbie
[16:39] <KK> Lucy is picking up some bones for them tomorrow--something
to do. And we took the kennel out into the sun for a few ours today,
and will continue to do so.
[16:39]
<Martine>vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[16:39] <Shiral> Hi Rowena
[16:39] <Debbie-VB> Hi all
[16:39] <KK> Rowena chimes in....
[16:39] <Sedina> lol And speaking of kitties.... Hi Rowena
[16:39] <Wrengl> hi rowena
[16:39] <Martine> Dar cat on keyboard
[16:39] <Wrengl> lol
[16:39] <Martine> Apparently she had to comment on Oswald, too!
[16:40] <Wrengl> i bet he liked being out in the sun
[16:40] <Sedina> just because you won't let her talk to us
[16:40] <Wrengl> indeed
[16:40] <Wrengl> let her at the Internet, Martine
[16:40] <Martine> lol!
[16:40] <Wrengl> see how long it takes her to rule the world
[16:40] <Martine> She wouldn't know what to do with it!
[16:40] <KK> Yeah, and he oculd see everything going on out
front--though it was kind of overcast until <after> we brought him in.
We'll try again tomorrow.
[16:40] <Martine> Arwen's the one that would rule the world - except it
might interfere with her afternoon map and bird watching.
[16:40] <TerryOBrien> I remember back in the old days when Esther
Friesner would let her hamster frolic across the keyboard.
[16:40] <Wrengl> lol
[16:41] <Shiral> Even being laid up, Oswald has to watch over his
territory!
[16:41] <Martine> Good boy, Oswald :-)
[16:41] <KK> Absolutely
[16:41] <Wrengl> of course he does
[16:41] <Shiral> These responsibilities never let up =o)
[16:41] <Wrengl> no they don't
[16:41] <KK> And we moved their bed downstairs next to the kennel so
that Scrappy can sleep beside him.
[16:41] <natlog> bye all -- have to go visit grandma
[16:41] <Debbie-VB> sounds like Oswald is making a fine recovery
[16:41] <Wrengl> and there is no one to take them over temporarily
[16:41] <KK> But they aren't allowed to play for a while.
[16:41] <Shiral> Bye, Natlog
[16:41] <Martine> bye nat!
[16:41] <jp> Bye natty
[16:41] <Sedina> We got a call from the person who's stopping in to
watch over our girls while we're here. They're apparently getting a
bit of cabin fever
[16:41] * natlog Quit
[16:41] <Wrengl> night natlog
[16:42] <Shiral> Not surprising
[16:42] <Martine> poor kitties!
[16:42] <Wrengl> is your mom with you now, kim?
[16:42] <Sedina> yup....it's mom and me
[16:42] <Sedina> we've been doing a lot of shopping *lol*
[16:42] <KK> He has many staples closing his incisions, of which there
are 2 per lag, and which come out on Thursday.
[16:42] <Wrengl> when do they kick you out of there?
[16:42] <Martine> Arwen's getting cabin fever, too. For the first time
ever she's making motions like she's going to try to spring for the
outdoors.
[16:42] <Shiral> My three are being surprisingly mellow. Two are asleep
in the rocking chair and Pan passes by once in a while to let me know
he's hungry
[16:43] <Shiral> He must feel like Dr. Frankenstein's Dog
[16:43] * Andy_Hock has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:43] <DeryniBot> Adam Sinclair welcomes his newest member of the
Hunt ... Andy_Hock
[16:43] <Sedina> Tomorrow is the start of my last week of radiation.
Yay! And then I'll have surgery on my throat on Tuesday the 3rd
[16:43] <Martine> So I threw her in the carrier yesterday and dragged
her to the pet store for a quick errand. She seems temporarily cured of
hunting desires <g>
[16:43] <Wrengl> well feed the poor starving panther kitty
[16:43] <Shiral> hi andy
[16:43] <Wrengl> hi andy
[16:43] <Wrengl> ;0
[16:43] <jp> hi andy
[16:43] * Andy_Hock waves.
[16:43] <Shiral> Not until after chat, Pat <G>
[16:43] <Wrengl>
[16:43] <Wrengl> poor pan
[16:43] <Wrengl> he may wither away to nothing
[16:43] <Wrengl> or starve to death
[16:44] <Shiral> He'll live. He's been fed much MUCH later than three
in hte afternoon before
[16:44] <Martine>
cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
[16:44] <Martine> LOL And Rowena comments again.
[16:44] <Wrengl> see
[16:44] <Sedina> yeah....I'm sure that's about as likely as my two
starving to death
[16:44] <Harvey> Martine's typing seems to be improving.
[16:44] <jp> c for cat
[16:44] <Shiral> Is Rowena trying to send an email?? <G>
[16:44] * Martine whaps Harvey upside the head
[16:44] <Wrengl> even rowena had a comment on your treatment of pan
[16:44] <Harvey> Ouch.
[16:44] <Shiral> Hi Harvey
[16:44] <Bynw> lol
[16:44] <Shiral> Didn't see you come in
[16:44] <KK> Gus is on my lap with his chin on my right wrist, so if
there are typos....
[16:44] <Harvey> hi.
[16:44] <Harvey> I was here before, but away from my desk.
[16:45] <Shiral> We'll know it was Gus influencing you
[16:45] <Wrengl> harvey's been here since before you got here shiral
[16:45] <Martine> That sounds like Rowena's typical posture, Katherine.
Makes it hard to move to the mouse, doesn't it?
[16:45] <Shiral> D'oh
[16:45] * Big_Tom has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:45] <Wrengl>
[16:45] <DeryniBot> Adam Sinclair welcomes his newest member of the
Hunt ... Big_Tom
[16:45] <Sedina> and the cat's supposed to care about that?
[16:45] <Wrengl> hello bigtom
[16:45] <Bynw> hiyas Tom
[16:45] <Martine> Of course not, Sedina!
[16:45] <jp> Big Tom welcome
[16:45] * Mistyck has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:45] <DeryniBot> Welcome Mistyck to your appointment on the
Camberian Council
[16:45] <Martine> hi big tom
[16:45] <Andy_Hock> Hi Tom.
[16:45] <Mistyck> hiyas all
[16:45] <Wrengl> hi mistyck
[16:45] <Bynw> hi Mistyck
[16:45] <KK> Hard even to type. And sometimes, he tries to bite my
knuckles while I'm typing. At least with chin on wrist,his head just
gets bobbed up and down.
[16:45] <jp> Hi mysty
[16:45] <Sedina> Hi Big Tom and Mistyck
[16:46] <Shiral> Nina likes to rest her muzzle on my fingers when I'm
trying to type, also
[16:46] <Martine> It's coming up on Rowena's one year anniversary.
She's already celebrating by deciding to be velcro kitty :-P
[16:46] <Shiral> =o)
[16:46] <Sedina> I'm sure that when I get home I will be getting the
guilt trip to take them outside all the time
[16:46] <Debbie-VB> don't you know that you are supposed to be paying
attention to the cat, not that wierd screen thingie?
[16:46] <Big_Tom> Good afternoon everybody. :-)
[16:46] <Shiral> Hi Big_om
[16:46] <Sedina> Um, she was a velcro kitty before though, Martine
[16:46] <Wrengl> verra true
[16:46] <Big_Tom> I'm about halfway through In the King's Service. :-)
[16:46] <Martine> True, but this is full-body Garfield-splat-on-car
velcro now!
[16:46] <Harvey> If she's velcro, you can just install a velcro wall
and park her stuck to that when you have other things to do, right?
[16:47] <Martine> rotfl, harvey!
[16:47] <Wrengl> enjoying it, tom?
[16:47] <KK> Hello, Big Tom.
[16:47] <Big_Tom> So far I am.
[16:47] <Big_Tom> KK, long time, no read. :-)
[16:47] <Shiral> Not a bad idea, come to think of it, Harvey... <G>
[16:47] <Mistyck> good for you Tom!
[16:47] <Martine> Darn furball follows me everywhere now.
[16:47] <Wrengl> any writing this past week, katherine?
[16:47] <jp> Very different to all the other deryni novels ain't it?
[16:47] <Big_Tom> Absolutely, JP. Very much character driven.
[16:48] <KK> Well, it's female protagonists, which I haven't really
done before except in passing.
[16:48] <Ghostgames> The kittens come when called -- something I
haven't enjoyed since our cat Vern (who died less than a year after we
got him).
[16:48] <Martine> So they know their names now, Ann
[16:48] <Martine> ?
[16:48] <Wrengl> frankie comes when you call him
[16:48] <Shiral> It's nice to meet some of the ladies, and see the
female side of the royal household, yes
[16:48] <Big_Tom> KK, it comes out more in ITKS.
[16:48] <Wrengl> sometimes demon kitten comes when called
[16:48] <Martine> lol!
[16:48] <Sedina> Um, my cats don't come when their called *lol* Not
unless there is some other incentive to come
[16:49] <Martine> Has demon kitten started levitating and spitting fire
yet? <g>
[16:49] <Wrengl> lol
[16:49] <jp> Also all that jumping forward in time, months or even
years at a time
[16:49] <Wrengl> no
[16:49] * RD_afk is now known as RainbowDragon
[16:49] <Big_Tom> KK, any news on the Adept front? :-)
[16:49] <Ghostgames> They do indeed know their names. But they also
come running when I call "Kittens!"
[16:49] <Harvey> Does her neck spin 360 degrees?
[16:49] <Mistyck> Pat: how are you feeling?
[16:49] <Wrengl> but she is now in season
[16:49] <Mistyck> how did the first week go?
[16:49] <Wrengl> so was banished to studio
[16:49] <Ghostgames> Of course they'll be "kittens" all their lives
now...
[16:49] <Shiral> hi rd
[16:49] <KK> No more Adepts until I catch up on the Childe cycle, alas.
[16:49] <Mistyck> hi rd
[16:49] <RainbowDragon> Hi, Shiral
[16:49] <Martine> LOL of course they will, Ann!
[16:49] <Wrengl> she is now trying to seduced hooligan who is a was-boy
[16:49] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, KK
[16:49] <Big_Tom> KK, has anyone submitted fan fic for the Adept?
[16:49] <Martine> Even when they get Shadow-sized!
[16:49] <KK> But Ann, soon they won't be kittens....
[16:50] <Wrengl> mistyck - feeling okay still
[16:50] <Mistyck> that's good, Pat
[16:50] <Shiral> In their own minds though, they might REMAIN Kittens
<G>
[16:50] <Sedina> yeah, but my girls aren't kittens anymore either, but
I still call them kitties
[16:50] <Shiral> Nina definitely has a kitten's outlook
[16:50] <Wrengl> indeed
[16:50] <Sedina> Sadie is the eternal child
[16:50] <KK> No Adept fan fic, and we wouldn't have a place for it
right now.
[16:50] <Harvey> Isn't that Eternal Childe?
[16:50] <Mistyck> Evaine is Queen...no doubts about it!
[16:50] <Martine> lol harvey!
[16:51] <Martine> Sedina, we need to get Sadie and Rowena together
sometime <G>
[16:51] <Ghostgames> Katherine: Zephyr's not a pony, either, but I call
him "pony" all the time. ;-)
[16:51] <Sedina> Mmm...Adept stuff. That's what I need to dig out when
I get home. Refresh my obsession with all things Scottish
[16:51] <Harvey> Why? To cause an implosion of the universe?
[16:51] <Mistyck> hehe
[16:51] <Big_Tom> KK, well, I do have a couple of ideas running around
in my head, but I'll have to reaquaint myself with the Adept to get all
that stuff down in my head again.
[16:51] <Shiral> It might be fun, Harvey. Look on the bright side <G>
[16:51] <KK> Kim, did you get the next Scottish prezzie installment
yet?
[16:51] <Mistyck> better get to reading then, Tom!
[16:51] <Sedina> Martine, I'm telling you that if I let her, she'll
pack herself in my bag and with stowaway on my trip there
[16:51] <Harvey> Yes. Total anarchy. Fun.
[16:52] <Harvey> The woman next to me on the last plane trip had two
bags under her seat. One had a very small dog. The other had a cat.
[16:52] <Martine> We'll just lock Sadie and Rowena in the attic.
They'll have a grand old time together.
[16:52] <Harvey> It wasn't a pleasant flight.
[16:52] <Shiral> Yes, but the cutest, fuzziest anarchy you'll ever
experience
[16:52] <Martine> rowena loves to play chase <g>
[16:52] <Sedina> Um, unless you sent it to the Gift of Life, I won't
get it until I go home. I'm sure it will be waiting for me though
[16:52] <KK> You should have it this next week. :-)
[16:52] <Harvey> Both the cat and the dog made noise for over three
hours.
[16:52] <Shiral> I'd rather travel with a baby at that point, Harvey!
[16:53] <Sedina> Ok
[16:53] <Martine> I can't believe the airline let her bring two animals
on board!
[16:53] <KK> A cat <and> a dog in the cabin?!
[16:53] <Harvey> I was hoping to switch to a seat in the back where
they only had a crying baby.
[16:53] <Shiral> I can understand that
[16:53] <Harvey> Yes. Together. Under the same seat. She was in the
window seat. I was in the aisle of the same row.
[16:53] <Harvey> It was pretty miserable.
[16:53] <Big_Tom> Human sacrifices, dogs and cats living
together...MASS HYSTERIA! <g>
[16:53] <Shiral> Of course, we have to take into account that it
probably wasn't fun for the dog or cat, either
[16:53] <Sedina> Myah makes the most horrendous sounds when she's
traveling in vehicles
[16:53] <Martine> lol big tom
[16:53] <Martine> So does Arwen!
[16:53] <Shiral> A chorus of howls, yes
[16:54] <Debbie-VB> I had a cat who loved riding in a car
[16:54] <Martine> Arwen cried eight hours straight when we had to drive
her to Chicago with us two Decembers ago.
[16:54] <Debbie-VB> She was one wierd cat
[16:54] <jp> maybe thay were just critisising the inflight
entertainment
[16:54] <Sedina> Had to travel 3 hrs with Myah when I moved to Grand
Forks. I eventually took pity on her and let her out of the carrier so
that she could come and curl up on the seat by my leg
[16:54] <Martine> Or their seat assignments, jp ;-)
[16:54] <Shiral> Maybe they thought they WERE the inflight
entertainment
[16:54] <Harvey> I think that they were upset that they didn't get any
drinks or pretzels when the flight attendant came around.
[16:54] <KK> Martine, they <can> be gently sedated, you know....though
I've never had to resort to that.
[16:54] <Martine> I did the same with Arwen, Sedina, even though I'd
sworn I'd never do that.
[16:55] <Martine> John was driving. Arwen curled up on my lap under a
blanket, reached one paw up my chest, rested her chin on my elbow, and
finally fell asleep :-)
[16:55] <Bynw> Tika still says she's gonna do some Adept fanfic one day
... i bug her about it every now and again hehehe
[16:55] <Sedina> I felt like my heart was being ripped out! It was
horrible
[16:55] <Shiral> They do sound so pitiful, yes
[16:55] <Sedina> at least the trip from Bottineau to Grand Forks is
flat and uneventful
[16:56] <Big_Tom> Bynw, at this rate, we might just combine our efforts
and do our own Adept fanfic book. With KK's blessings, of course. :-)
[16:56] <Shiral> Bynw, what's holding Tika up? <G>
[16:56] <Harvey> I passed a car once where the person had their cat on
one of those leashes tied to something in the back and the cat kept
roving around the back of the station wagon.
[16:56] <KK> I well remember driving from Sacramento to LA with two
cats and a VW full of belongings. THey did ok.
[16:56] <Mistyck> Tom: now THAT is a great idea!
[16:56] <Harvey> It was kind of weird to see that. Less weird when I
figured out that the cat couldn't get up in the driving area.
[16:56] <Shiral> That's pretty courageous, KK
[16:56] <Harvey> But, I don't think most cats will wear those leashes.
[16:56] <KK> THey were in a carrier.
[16:56] <Shiral> How did the existing cats deal with the move to
Ireland at that time?
[16:56] <Sedina> Sadie hates her harness and leash
[16:56] <Martine> You'd be surprised, Harvey.
[16:56] <Mistyck> KK, would you bless an Adept fan-fic book if you get
enough good stories?
[16:57] <Martine> I can get both my cats on harnesses and leashes :-)
[16:57] <KK> I had leashes for them, and let them out several times at
rest stops, one at a time on leash--and very carefully.
[16:57] * babayaga has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[16:57] <DeryniBot> babayaga has taken the Oaths and has become a
member of the Knights Templars
[16:57] <Mistyck> hiyas Beth!
[16:57] <Shiral> At this point in his life, Pan would NEVER consent to
wear a harness and leash
[16:57] <RainbowDragon> Hi, babayaga
[16:57] <Shiral> Hi Babayaga
[16:57] <Sedina> I don't think Sadie would be so bad, but for the fact
that Myah doesn't have to wear one
[16:57] <Sedina> hi babayaga
[16:57] <Martine> LOL! But Myah's smart enough to find her own way
home.
[16:58] <jp> babahiyaga
[16:58] <Martine> Hi Babayaga
[16:58] <Debbie-VB> I can just see most cats on a leash. they're
probably thinking of what they can do to your drapes next time they are
alone
[16:58] <Shiral> ON the cat newsgroup I frequent, there's a trucker who
lets his cat ride around with him
[16:58] <KK> There was just one who moved to Ireland with us, and he
had to do 6 mo. quarantine--but lasted another 6-8 years. He's the one
Gus is the near-clone of.
[16:58] <Sedina> No...Myah's smart enough not to <leave> home
[16:58] <Harvey> If you put both Saide and Myah on leashes and then
attached the leashes, it would be like a professional wrestling death
strap match.
[16:58] <Shiral> Her name is Harri-Roadcat, and he takes her for walks
every evening <G>
[16:59] <KK> lol, harvey.
[16:59] <Shiral> Ah, that's right. Marmalade Bear?
[16:59] <Martine> Rowena loves to go out. She'll jump right in her
carrier (if she's in the mood for attention)
[16:59] <KK> Yep. Good old Bear.
[16:59] <Martine> And when we get to the pet store, I have a
backpack-style pouch that sits on my chest. She hops right in, and it
has a clip for her harness.
[16:59] <Big_Tom> harvey, lol!
[16:59] <babayaga> Hi there
[16:59] <Big_Tom> Talk about a cat fight...
[16:59] <Martine> She then proceeds to head butt anyone within reach
who is rude enough to pass without scritching her <G>
[17:00] <Shiral> lol
[17:00] <Sedina> lol Myah already watches after Sadie without having
to be attached to her by a leash. That's how she ended up outside,
alone, while Sadie ended up getting tossed back in the building by
neighbors who recognized her. The only reason Myah went out in the
first place was because Sadie had figured out how to sneak out and was
out galavanting
[17:00] <KK> Martine, that's amazing--though Gus would probablky put up
with it. I've never had a cat who was so attached to me. He'll even
jump in the car with me.
[17:00] <Wrengl> hi babayaga
[17:00] <Martine> I need to take a picture one of these trips. She
looks so cute, with her little paws hanging over the pouch edge, and
her head sticking up.
[17:00] <Shiral> lol
[17:00] <Martine> Katherine, Rowena's a dog in a cat suit, I'm telling
you!
[17:00] <KK> A picture, indeed. Do!
[17:01] <Harvey> But, if they were leashed together, when the neighbors
threw Sadie back in Myah would have been attached!
[17:01] <Debbie-VB> I'd like to see that paictue too Martine
[17:01] <Martine> Okay! Next weekend I'll leash John into playing
photographer :-)
[17:01] * the_Bee has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:01] <DeryniBot> Welcome the_Bee to #Deryni_Destinations - The
virtual home of Katherine Kurtz
[17:01] <Mistyck> hi Bee
[17:01] <Debbie-VB> hi bee
[17:01] <Sedina> Sadie is an attention slut and would probably love to
do something like that....but I'm certainly not going to lug her around
in a carrying pouch! *lol* She's one big girl!
[17:01] <Sedina> hi Bee
[17:02] <the_Bee> what would sadie like to do?
[17:02] <TerryOBrien> A friend of mine used to have a cat that we
called the "puppy-cat". Delaney would beg at the dinner table by
standing on his hind legs and put his paws on my leg, then pat my leg
with one paw.
[17:02] <Martine> LOL! Yeah, Arwen would break my back. Rowena might
weigh seven pounds if she's soaking wet.
[17:02] <Ghostgames> 6pm, and the whining begins... (Brandy is VERY
aware of what time it is, and I usuallly feed the animals around 6.)
[17:02] <Martine> LOl Terry! Rowena does that!
[17:02] <Martine> Of course, Ann!
[17:02] <Wrengl> wb bee
[17:02] <Martine> Rowena also has a scritch spot.
[17:02] <Shiral> Animals with Stomach Clocks
[17:02] <jp> bee, we think peer is on Humingbird food
[17:02] <Martine> Make that kick spot.
[17:02] <Sedina> Sadie does that as well
[17:02] <KK> That sounds like Nicholas--6 bricks in a cat suit.
[17:02] <Shiral> lol
[17:02] <TerryOBrien> I told him that it was undignified for a cat to
beg. His response was "I'm a cat, I can do whatever I want."
[17:02] <Martine> Of course he can, Terry!
[17:03] <Wrengl> they can be good at telling time
[17:03] <Shiral> I remember that about Nicholas. A very solid guy
[17:03] <the_Bee> thanks. my computer was the victim of a military
coup led by General Protection Fault. ;o)
[17:03] <Wrengl> if you tell rudicat that you want to get up at a
certain time, he will scream in your ear within half an hour of the
time designated
[17:03] <Martine> Arwen and I had to teach Rowena that claws are for
scratching on the jute rug. She was clueless :-P
[17:03] <Debbie-VB> That's nothing Terry. Our family's cat would hook
his claws into your arm and drag it down if you had a forkful of food
he wanted
[17:03] <Sedina> We discovered that Miss Sadie does need to go on a
diet though. Mom went to put her harness on for the first time this
spring and discovered that Sadie had managed to spread a bit
[17:03] <Martine> Just a bit, Sedina? ;-)
[17:04] <KK> lol, bee!
[17:04] <Shiral> Get her a bull dog harness, Sedina
[17:04] <Big_Tom> This may not be the right time to bring it up, but I
would think it's the right group of people to do it. :-)
[17:04] <Martine> Debbie, Arwen once clawed up my pant leg when I was
holding a plate of shrimp!
[17:04] <jp> ?
[17:04] <KK> Edgar goes for chicken, will grab your hand and pull it
down to him if you're not fast enough on the down-take.
[17:04] <Wrengl> yes tom?
[17:04] <Sedina> Actually, Sadie's harness is a small dog's harness
[17:04] <Big_Tom> I was thinking of possibly starting up an Adept chat
room on Psionics.net.
[17:04] <Ghostgames> I've just joined the cat-on-the-arm club (Fudge
has made herself comfortable).
[17:04] <Sedina> what is that, Tom?
[17:04] <Shiral> Assertive fellow, Edgar
[17:05] <KK> We can talk Adept stuff here, too, Big Tom.
[17:05] <Wrengl> you can discuss adept here, tom
[17:05] <Martine> Edgar also goes for shortbread, if I remember
correctly ;-)
[17:05] <Shiral> Oh dear... the circling predators have begun. I made
the mistake of standing UP
[17:05] <TerryOBrien> I remember the cat at the local bookstore that
would yowl at my feet tor me to sit down and give him a lap everytime I
walked in. He ruined more than one pair of pants: he like to knead with
his claaws.
[17:05] <Wrengl> oh boy
[17:05] <Sedina> We may be talking about cats now, but we can certainly
talk about Adept stuff, Tom.
[17:05] <KK> Edgar is a baked goods junkie. And he is now a sardine
maniac.
[17:05] <Martine> What did you go and do a silly thing like THAT for,
Shiral?
[17:05] <Shiral> Definitely
[17:05] <Big_Tom> KK, I know, but all this talk about cats and stuff
made it seem a little off topic. LOL
[17:05] <Shiral> I needed to use the facilities
[17:05] <Debbie-VB> Is there a set toipic for this chat?
[17:06] <Shiral> Well... Does Adam like cats? <G>
[17:06] * jp cyber pee?
[17:06] <Sedina> lol With this many pet lovers in one spot, its not
hard for us to get off topic
[17:06] <the_Bee> Tom, cats are always on topic here ;o)
[17:06] <Wrengl> we often get off topic
[17:06] <Shiral> Sorry, I like a nice dry chair
[17:06] <Wrengl> topic is supposed to be all things kk
[17:06] <KK> You find, Big Tom, that just about nothing is off topic in
this family. :-)
[17:06] <Harvey> We occasionally ge on topic.
[17:06] <Martine> Very true, harvey <g>
[17:06] <Shiral> We're pretty mellow about topics, yes
[17:06] <RainbowDragon> I'm sure if you really wanted to, Bynw would be
happy to let you have an Adept channel
[17:06] <jp> lol
[17:06] <Big_Tom> RD, he'd better. I'm taking him to work. LOL
[17:06] <Wrengl> lol
[17:06] <RainbowDragon> LOL
[17:06] <Sedina> hehe
[17:07] <Martine> In that case, I'd say he'd be thrilled to make you an
Adept channel <g>
[17:07] <Bynw> lol
[17:07] <KK> I've wondered about giving Adam a cat or dog, but he keeps
such odd hours, and has to be free to take off at a moment's notice....
[17:07] <Shiral> Lest he should have to hitchhike to work instead
[17:07] <Mistyck> a cat...
[17:07] <Shiral> This is true
[17:07] <Mistyck> Adam needs a cat
[17:07] <the_Bee> Peregrine Lovat is my favorite KK character
[17:07] <Martine> A cat then, Katherine.
[17:07] <Sedina> Bynw....if I do make it down your way next weekend, we
will have to figure out a way to hook up. Even if it's just for lunch
[17:07] <Martine> After all, he's got a butler at home to feed it :-)
[17:07] <KK> Peregrine has a cat, as I recall.
[17:07] <Shiral> Although he also has Humphrey <G>
[17:07] <Shiral> yup
[17:07] <Big_Tom> Bee, he's mine, too. Just a regular guy who comes
across his true potential.
[17:07] <TerryOBrien> I like Peregrin, but I think I like Derry even
more.
[17:07] <KK> True, Humphrey could take care of the cat when necessary.
[17:07] <Shiral> And a housekeeper, and now a wife
[17:07] <Mistyck> Ximena would want a kitty
[17:07] <Ghostgames> I have quite the drama queen making noises and
swooning gestures on the bed with me. (Brandy's convinced she'll starve
to death if she doesn't get fed Right Now!)
[17:08] <KK> BTW, did you know that one of the Borgias had cat flaps in
his castle>
[17:08] <Shiral> lol
[17:08] <Martine> Well, isn't she wasting away by the second, Ann?
[17:08] <RainbowDragon> I have the entire set of Adept books but have
not read them yet.... SHHHH! Don't tell KK though *grin*
[17:08] <Bynw> Sedina, yeah keep us updated on your location
[17:08] <Sedina> lol rd!
[17:08] <Martine> LOL! I'm now tempted to put cat flaps in Rhemuth
Castle!
[17:08] <Shiral> I once saw a cartoon in several panels which showed a
castle drawbridge being lowered, and out steps.... the cat <G>
[17:08] <Sedina> lol
[17:08] <KK> Yeah, I was thinking about how they'd be made. A heavy
leather flap, I'm thinking.
[17:09] <KK> Or they might just be cat-sized holes....
[17:09] <Shiral> Well, I'm sure they must have SOME cats lolling around
in Rhemuth Castle
[17:09] <Martine> If any go outside, they'd probably be covered by
leather.
[17:09] <Debbie-VB> with cat specific wards set?
[17:09] <Big_Tom> Maybe some cruel king or lord would use cats as
projectile weapons.
[17:09] <Shiral> Even if they're responsible for rat catching in the
stables
[17:09] <Martine> They have to have cats in Rhemuth Castle. Somebody
needs to eat the mice and rats!
[17:09] <Big_Tom> You know, use them in the cat-apult. <g>
[17:09] <Martine> Keep the grain clean.
[17:09] <RainbowDragon> *groan*
[17:09] <the_Bee> castle cats probably did have free rein; they had to
go wherever the mice went
[17:09] <Shiral> Oh boy... how to set cat specific wards? It would have
to move WITH the cat!
[17:10] <TerryOBrien> In one RP game, my character had her doors fitted
with cat flaps. Considering it was her rooms in Castle Amber, it did
cause a few comments. <g>
[17:10] <Martine>
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
[17:10] <RainbowDragon> Say hello to Martine's cat!
[17:10] <Martine> And Rowena chirps up again!
[17:10] <Harvey> Is Sedina translocating again?
[17:10] <Harvey> I thought they were going to cure that.
[17:10] * Big_Tom sings "Cat flaps fever...cat flaps fever..."
[17:10] <Shiral> Rowena likes castle cat flaps!
[17:10] <jp> I gotta go, Have a week off and want to be rested for it.
Surely castles are so draughty that a decent cat would have NO trouble
getting in and out
[17:10] <Martine> More like Rowena thinks I'm paying far too much
attention to the big light box and not nearly enough to her :-P
[17:10] <Shiral> bye jp
[17:10] <KK> It isn't a matter of keeping the cats in. You'd <want?
them to have freedom of passage. It's drafts that you have to worry
about in castles....
[17:10] <Martine> bye jp!
[17:10] <Mistyck> g'nite JP
[17:10] <jp> see ya
[17:11] <the_Bee> seeya jp
[17:11] * jp has left #Deryni_Destinations
[17:11] <Shiral> Definitely
[17:11] <Sedina> Oh, if Sadie were here, I'm sure she'd be putting in
her two cents about cat flaps. She would just <love> to be able to go
out whenever she pleased. Of course, that's one of the reasons why she
managed to figure out how to unhook the screens from the windows (if we
leave the windows open too much)
[17:12] <Martine> I forget where I saw it, but one cat study came to
the conclusion that they have the problem-solving intellect of a 2-3
year old human. Didn't surprise me one bit.
[17:12] <KK> We had a cat tunnel until we got the dogs, to try to keep
the heat in the kitchen. We still have it, but it's little used now,
because the door has to stay cocked open for the dogs.
[17:12] <the_Bee> Where are you, Sedina?
[17:12] <Sedina> the "I want out....there's got to be a way to do it"
sort of thing
[17:13] <Shiral> Wouldn't that depend on the human?
[17:13] * Shiral thinks of kelric...
[17:13] <Ghostgames> I think studies have shown many animals have that
level of intelligence/reasoning. Great Apes are closer to 6-year-olds.
[17:13] <Sedina> I'm back at Mayo, Bee
[17:13] <Martine> lol shiral!
[17:13] <the_Bee> all going well. kim?
[17:13] <Shiral> Of course, he's more in the line of CREATING the
problem
[17:14] <Martine> There are times when I'd put horses up with the Great
Apes :-P
[17:14] <KK> Some cats really do reason. You can almost hear the
wheels turning in their little brains.
[17:14] <Andy_Hock> Octopi are known to be bright, too.
[17:14] <Sedina> Oh, things here are going just fine. This is a pretty
boring and uneventful trip. Ten minutes of radiation M-F, weekends
off.
[17:14] <Martine> Arwen does, no doubt.
[17:14] <the_Bee> when I hear "mayo I think "tuna salad."
[17:14] <KK> Octopi?!
[17:14] <Shiral> How's your radiation going, Pat?
[17:14] <Martine> She watched us for an entire afternoon of kitchen
cleaning as we opened and closed the recycle bin where John's tuna cans
go.
[17:14] <Sedina> That's Myah.... Sadie's more the "dumb luck" sort of
reasoning
[17:14] <Martine> That night, we caught her trying to work the latch.
She knew HOW to do it, she was just missing an opposable thumb!
[17:14] <the_Bee> the geniused of their genus
[17:15] * Imladris has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:15] <DeryniBot> Following a Lehr Cat Imladris enters the chat.
[17:15] <Martine> LOL! Rowena runs in the Sadie category.
[17:15] <Shiral> Hi Imladris
[17:15] <babayaga> octopi are smart---they just lack culture to
accumulate knowledge
[17:15] <Debbie-VB> Hi Imladrisa
[17:15] <KK> Yeah, if cats had thumbs, they'd be really dangerous.
[17:15] <Mistyck> hi Imladris
[17:15] <KK> Hard to write underwater, too.
[17:15] <Shiral> I shudder to think of what would happen if Nina had
thumbs
[17:15] <Shiral> lol, kk
[17:15] <Martine> Rowena has no clue what a mirror is. Arwen uses one
regularly to groom and track flying bugs - then whirl behind and pounce
on them with deadly accuracy!
[17:15] <babayaga> and no 'net . . .
[17:15] <Shiral> Even when you have eight tentacles, yes
[17:15] <Sedina> Hi Imladris
[17:15] <Debbie-VB> even though they do supply their own ink
[17:15] <Big_Tom> KK, yeah, because then they could figure out how to
open tuna cans and operate a phone, so humans would become unnecessary.
:-)
[17:16] <Shiral> Nina gets into enough trouble with her mouth and paws
[17:16] <Shiral> The other day, I found my dishwashing sponge in my
laundry basket
[17:16] <KK> Yes, we're their staff. :-)
[17:16] <Big_Tom> It would be Planet of the Kitties!
[17:16] <the_Bee> Holly Lisle wrote a novel(s) in which a mage bred a
cat with hands. It liked to play with matches
[17:16] <Debbie-VB> I thought it was already Tom
[17:17] <KK> Now, <there's> a thought....
[17:17] <Sedina> It's our job to make sure that there is food for them
to eat so that they can continue to nap without worries
[17:17] <Big_Tom> Debbie, not quite yet. We haven't seen a cat riding a
horse yet.
[17:17] <KK> Absolutely. In the past, humans worshipped cats as gods.
Cats have never forgotten.
[17:17] <Shiral> No, they'd stil need us to bring down a decent income.
After all, where's the tuna going to COME from?
[17:17] <RainbowDragon> a pyromani-cat?
[17:17] <Harvey> If the two cats joined together, they could have
opposable paws and overcome the opposable digits problem.
[17:17] <TerryOBrien> TB: Sounds like a recipe for singed whispers!
[17:17] * babayaga bops rainbowdragon
[17:18] <RainbowDragon> heh
[17:18] <Big_Tom> rd, lol
[17:18] <Wrengl> cat would work
[17:18] * Shiral covers nina's ears
[17:18] <Martine> Big Tom, *I've* seen a cat riding a horse!
[17:18] <KK> Speaking of whiskers, Sasha's cut-off whiskers hae all
fallen out, and new ones are halfway grown back in. I'm amazed at hos
fast this has happened.
[17:18] <Imladris> quierly slips in...s
[17:18] <Mistyck> awesome, KK...
[17:18] <Big_Tom> Martine, holy crap in a hat! Get Charlton Heston on
the horn, PRONTO!
[17:18] <Martine> Cinders Kitty at the riding school is regularly seen
lounging on the horse's backs.
[17:18] <KK> I have a picture of Bear sitting on my ex-horse's back.
[17:18] <Mistyck> at least now he can navigate again
[17:18] <Martine> Even as they're prancing about pasture ;-)
[17:19] <Big_Tom> "Get your furry paws off of me, you damn cute kitty!"
[17:19] <Martine> Whoo hoo, Katherine! Good for Sasha! I'll be he's
feeling a lot more oriented, now!
[17:19] <Shiral> My three have never had the opportunity to MEET a
horse
[17:19] <Sedina> We used to have a cat that liked to nap right in the
middle of Frostie's back
[17:19] <Sedina> Frostie being our appaloosa when I was a kid
[17:19] <Shiral> I'm glad to hear Sasha's on the mend, too. Or rather
that his whiskers are
[17:19] <Wrengl> radiation is going okay shiral
[17:19] <Wrengl> still feeling okay
[17:19] <Shiral> Good
[17:19] <Wrengl> have to get bloodwork this week though
[17:20] <the_Bee> glad to hear it pat
[17:20] <Wrengl> hello imladris
[17:20] <Shiral> I sympathize. I hate needles
[17:20] <Imladris> << has the cold green.. and cold brown cats... the
warm ones make him sneeze
[17:20] <the_Bee> about the radiation
[17:20] <KK> Wrengl, will your head match Kim's, or is that only with
chemo?
[17:20] <Sedina> A kid could cut off Sadie's whisker and it likely
wouldn't phase her. Not sure how they could possibly help her judge
distances when when all curl inward towards her nose
[17:20] <Wrengl> well i need to serve up my shrimp/pineapple stir fry
[17:20] <Wrengl> if i miss you, have a good week katherine
[17:20] <Martine> yum, wrengl!
[17:20] <Sedina> you only lose hair from radiation if you receive
radiation to the head
[17:20] <KK> yuym!
[17:20] * Shiral passes pat her plate
[17:20] <KK> Then Pat is safe!
[17:21] <Debbie-VB> sounds de-lish Pat
[17:21] <RainbowDragon> sounds dee-lish!
[17:21] <KK> Yes, I need to head off, too. Builders come early.
[17:21] <RainbowDragon> me and Debbie think alike!

[17:21] <Wrengl> only with chemo, katherine
[17:21] <Martine> And I should get back to writing.
[17:21] <Shiral> Write, woman, write....
[17:21] <Debbie-VB> How much longer for the builders Katherine?
[17:21] <KK> Hope to be able to report that I've gotten some more
writing done this week.
[17:21] <Sedina> and I'm already starting to get lots of hair

[17:21] <Imladris> Katherine, do you ever make it back to "Cavalier"

[17:21] <TheCatWhisperer> Hi everyone
[17:21] <Bynw> have a good night {{{ Katherine }}}
[17:22] * Shiral sends Katherine writing woodgies
[17:22] <the_Bee> hi cw
[17:22] <Wrengl> fingers crossed on the writing katherine
[17:22] <Sedina> hi cw
[17:22] <Shiral> hi cw
[17:22] <Martine> Happy building & writing, Katherine!
[17:22] <KK> A few more months of building. Several more of
decorating, probably.
[17:22] <Wrengl> hi cw
[17:22] <Big_Tom> Nice seeing you again KK. :-)
[17:22] <KK> It's nearing the end, thank God!
