Thanks, Mary. We have to take her back for another x-ray in a couple of weeks' time. However, she and I are no longer on speaking terms because this morning I was speaking on the phone and she stuck her nose in my mouth.
🙄 I think it comes with lifelong tablets, plus constant concern that she doesn't have an attack. It hadn't even occurred to me that cats could have asthma, but I suppose: why not?
Fabulous letter and cat art, Terry! I thoroughly enjoy our correspondence. 😁
I like the sound of the systems you use to keep track of snippets and cutting and ideas. I hadn't heard of Wakelet - I must check it out, so thank you for the tip!
As far as ideas are concerned, well, I just go with the flow. I have various ideas floating around at any given time, but I always know which one I'll write about next time I want to write something. I'm not the type to have a preplanned content calendar, although the chances are I'll do a festive post at Christmas and a lovey-dovey one on Valentine's Day. It's whatever floats my boat in the moment, otherwise.
You've given plenty for me to respond to in my reply next Wednesday - I'm looking forward to writing it!
I was reading comments for Jillian Hess's 6 ways to use a Diary. When I read your comment, curious I looked you up. You're interesting chap. You scored 3 stars with your cats. Cute drawings. I have 4. I had several chuckles. Thanks.
Thanks, Beth. Oh that's awful. They're family, and the grieving is not dissimilar from that we fel for people. It's the one thing I don't like about having pets: the knowledge that one day they won't be here.
A very amusing epistolary chortlefest as usual on thus cold, windless day.
You should count your self lucky, that Willow, Minty and Mocha don't catch mice. In my days before dogs my cats would bring mice into the house play with them, get bored and wander off. This resulted in one occasion one if the aforementioned mice convalescing over the winter in the cupboard under the stairs. Using my tapestry wool as its home - ok shows I didn't often do tapestry & eating the forgotten cats Christmas for sustenance. The up side was that it was clearly a single mouse 🐀, it had vacated in the Spring when I eventually got round to cleaning the back of the cupboard because we had noticed a smell emanating from the darkness.
I think blogger of the year is quite definitely a coveted prize for writers.
Mum tells a brilliant story about our Swedish au pair opening the cutlery drawer in the kitchen to be greeted by a STREAM of baby mice suddenly vacating it. At the time (I was a baby) we lived in a household of four generations of our family, and my grandparents and great-grandparents kept cats. One must have brought in an alive-and-well pregnant mouse. Ugh and ulp.
The only problem with average road speeds now being as low as the days of horse drawn traffic is that you can't follow a Kia* and bag up some manure for your garden. (*Other brands are available. And equally devoid of plant nutrients.)
I think that he retired & went to working with his cousin Cap'n Crunch. 🏴☠️ We Americans have a veritable PANTHEON of advertising icons. I CAN'T speak for Canada..... 🍁🍁🍁
I hope Minty is on the mend and your feline trio has had at the rodents. Lovely read first thing with a cup of coffee.

Does one treat catasthma with a tiny puffer…?

Hoping that Minty recovers well. Two friends ‘lost’ their dogs this week - heartbreaking for both families. Sigh…

Hope kitties are worm free. Did you have a technological apparatus for the ebook?
Thanks. Yes, my phone. Chortle
I love to eavesdrop on you two. I look forward to it each week. Your cat. drawings are continuing to improve. Holiday bow ties! Nice touch.
They know their rights. Thanks. Sharron, glad you enjoy them! By which i mean both the letters and the drawings (influenced by Yogi Bear)!

Thanks very much, Jo. Soon after this post went live, Minty came in proudly squeaking about the mouse she had just caught. 😂
She was no doubt asking for a little gravy to put on top.

Lol
MONOPOLY MONEY ? Did you wear the top hat & wear the Monopoly Guy's handlebar moustache or did you play it low key ?
Low key? What's that. Of course I wore the top hat and (fake) moustache! Chortle!

We need to in the UK, but these days the TV ads are aimed at 4 year olds
I have to wonder what an anthropologist would think.....We regarded SNOOP DOGG as a Gandhi - like character ( ? ).
Sounds reasonable to me!
What do you get when Snoop Dogg, Woody Harrelson,& Willy Nelson go on a fishing trip ?
Adventure on the HIGH SEAS. bwahahahahaaa !
