I'm with Matt -- the hospice cat is clearly in it for the soul-catching.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Kat! And all best wishes for Grace and Noah.
Re hospice cat: Teddy became devoted to his grandma (Hubs's mother) while she was living with us, and he visited her regularly after she moved out. Several weeks before she died (in 2000), we took him down for an extended visit. Then he started avoiding her for the last few days before she died. We took him home on Wednesday, and she died Thursday afternoon.
So I agree that cats have some way to sense such things.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Happy Birthday, Kat.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Happy Birthday, Kat. I hope you are able to find a small amount of time today to be lighthearted and cheerful. And also to have a cupcake.

Heh, I saw that in the Globe this morning, and thought of posting. For some reason I thought Hec would feel justified.
Many Birthday Happies Kat, and that they bring much relief for you and the noodles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Kat! (I know it might sound like a meaningless platitude (?) on this particular day, but I still mean it.)
ita, if a man complimented the shoes while you were wearing the corset, he's probably gay.
Heh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Birthday, Kat.

Happy birthday, Kat.
And ugh, I don't even know why I even bother trying to have an opinion and think thoughts before coffee.

Certainly my first thought was soul catcher.
Best wishes on your birthday, Kat.
