My cats are micro-chipped too, but the collars are an extra safety investment in case they get loose and turned into a facility without a chip reader.

I'm contemplating taking Stella outdoors because she is growing so freaking big so fast I think she would benefit from the additional exercise and mental stimulation - and leave the other 2 older cats alone (who have absolutely NO interest in going outside - I can leave the deck door open and both will lie at the threshold and look out but not take a step outside).
I know this picture is poorly lit, but can you tell which cat is the 5-month-old kitten and which is the 6-year-old adult cat?

I can, but only because I know what Stella looks like already. They're the same size - and Stella will be much bigger.

I'd give you more karma but I have to spread some around first... LOL best laugh I had all day, thanks, Mortis!

We have tons of carpenter bees around the house. They're guarding the garage door, the gazebo, the deck, and the shed. They must have nests everywhere. Also saw some wasps around the shed. I just came back from the hardware store with some wasp spray. I'll have to find the wasp nest and get rid of it, but I'll have to be very careful when I spray, because I don't want to get any on the bees. Bees I like.

Trying to load the English version of WinXP Pro into a used Japanese notebook computer I picked up yesterday. I wiped the drive and formatted it, and now waiting for the 'forever' install to finish so I can try to find drivers for it. It's a challenge.

Great scene. But I'm having trouble picturing it with an anemic chicken and an overweight cat. 'Tisn't the same, I'm thinkin'.

Hey I got 100 lbs on you and I'm still a weakling. So there!

poohbear_nc · 04-18-2011, 08:23 PM

I'm NOT anemic, just thin & wiry! And Stella is NOT overweight - she is solid muscle. [maybe she should wear the ripped shirt!]

wyndslash · 04-18-2011, 08:50 PM

I'm resting a few minutes. Sunday we'll be leaving for Iran and this week I have to prepare a party, that is to be held a few days after our return.
About 120 people are coming to eat en drink in our house. That's what the Mosel-wein I got last week is for.

kennyc · 04-19-2011, 10:13 AM

Have a great trip!

(and party!)

DixieGal · 04-19-2011, 10:21 AM

Blues, please post some vacation pics when you get back. You know that I've been very curious about your upcoming holiday ever since you first mentioned it.

Right now, I'm sweating and reading. It is nice and hot and humid today, but very hazy due to the summer-like weather. Fueling up the atmosphere for tomorrow's predicted storms.
