Cat Health Status Report

[cathyr19355]

Some of you know that I have a pet cat, named Sugar. Sugar is going on 16 years old, and, according to our veterinarian, has greatly diminished kidney function, for which I need to give her a special kind of cat food.

On Saturday, Sugar had her annual physical checkup. The vet was extremely pleased with her liveliness and physical condition. The vet's assistant was also pleased with Sugar's (relatively) polite behavior, even while having her claws trimmed--an act which has, in the past, sent Sugar into a struggling, screaming frenzy.

I am pleased to see that it continues to be true that, in some ways, Sugar is healthier than I am. We hope to have her with us in good condition for as long as that is possible.

EDIT: For those of you who haven't met Sugar, she looks pretty much like this, even though the picture under the link was taken nearly 8 years ago. I'm sorry about the size, and lack of quality, of the photo; if you want to see smaller photos of her go here. I'll be happy to supply explanations of what that page is about upon request.

She reminds me a lot of my first cat, the best cat in the
whole universe (she not only slept on my bed, she would drape
herself around my neck like a stole!), so she must be a
fabulous furry friend to you!

She is, indeed, a "fabulous furry friend". She doesn't like to be picked up or carried, so she doesn't do the "fur stole" thing, but she sleeps in our bed every night. Right before I fall asleep, she stations herself right beside my hip (after a ritual walk across, and on top of, my abdomen) and purrrrs while I pet and groom her. Often she is also purring when I wake in the morning.

Have you heard about research on why cats purr? Possibly a bone-density support mechanism, among other reasons!

Sugar is such a sweetheart. I'm glad to hear she's doing well.

Thanks! It's good to hear from members of her extended fan club. :-)

Good grief, eight years? Really?

It's 2009.

No, wait a minute. We started working on the Drag.net presentation in 2001. I believe we performed it at the January LinuxWorld Expo in 2002. Let me check--Eric's web page might say.

Yes, it does. He has it listed as follows:

DRAG.NET

A technical presentation on Windows-to-Linux end-user migration that is also a cheesy vaudeville routine -- performed at the Winter 2002 LinuxWorld with Rob Landley and Catherine Raymond.

So technically it will be 8 years in January, but still, it's close to that, yah.

I in reality can not recollect, the amount of time I have consume to design this great flawless indoor party. At hand are a lot of things to reflect about! Certainly you could do with provisions and beer, although in this day and age this appears to be never adequate to any further extent!
I called this great associates Crystal and Esmeralda in the expectation to obtain several brand new ideas. Those guys told me, that I must appoint a pop group before search for [url=http://asplayzone.com/]event rentals ohio[/url] to have options.
Ultimately I realized that that thing just relies upon on your financial statement and never so much if some grasp a fine idea or not. Guys have extremely different tastes and while one will be fully content together with an entertainer, another will need to have no less than a rockband to love the social gathering.
I'm Brittany from Oberstdorf and my own recommendation is: Study to grasp the guests and their likes!

Howdy, thank you highly significantly!
