She's given up hunting my slippers in exchange for hunting a stuffed baby leopard. Same yowls. She did it last night. Adorable.

Aww! Though...I don't know if it could possibly be as cute as her growling as she wrestled your slipper down the hall.

Devi's the one they never see (though the awesome petsitters do see her..you have to stick around for a while before she becomes brave enough.) MK and Loki? Hard to avoid.

So far I've got one volunteer (who already has my key and has done the diabetic cat routine before! Whoo!) and the rest are probably asleep.

Hey, anyone know of a public scheduling website? We've used stuff for availability for meetings, but really, I'd like to be able to set up basically a signup sheet for the shots..

My catsitters always start out their little notes of what got done on each visit with the words "Amarna is such a nice cat--and so very talkative!!" Yes, I have a cat with the reputation of being ultra-meowy to everyone who comes to the door.

We definitely had the flax. It's the only reason I knew what that was as an eight year old. What's the bell for?

The bell was the best part--it's how you opened and closed each session. We just loved to bang on it before we started trading cards.

When are you away, sara? I might be able to help out.

I'll send you the email I send out, lisah.

Pico used to take something called Acevet when we travelled. (A tranq. for cats.) It didn't make him hyper, but it didn't calm him either. He still meowed the whole trip, but with an added layer of "I am stoned AND annoyed."

Even with one limited volunteer, gotta say: so FUCKING glad I bought this house in this hood. I have these options. Near tears in gratitude.

Yeah, it's all coming back. Those old ladies would Hurt You going for the bell.

Seriously, we need a F2F gamers edition.
