[Felvtalk] Terrie
Dear Terrie, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! Your husband sounded like a lovely person and a real animal lover. And at sixty-four, he was just too young to go! I hope you get many emails from folks who admire your courage and strength in keeping on with all the things you do. You are a very strong person and do so much for the animals!

Re: [Felvtalk] Abbey
I am beginning to think that I have weird cats. They DO NOT like salmon in canned or dry food. Not even Blue Buffalo goes over with them. Their all time favorite is Duck. I wish they had a turkey food because they like that when I boil turkey thighs for them.

Re: [Felvtalk] New Member
This is a bit late, but more power to you for taking on all these guys. I have 7 in my present pride and they are all inside at night and outside for an hour or two on nice days when I am home. May be some changes due soon if I get a job to help pay my bills. Will be interesting to see how they adjust to my being gone all day 5 days runningand they haveto be in all day. They may get on each other's nerves, in particular the 2 kittens (1yr old) who feel it is their job toaggrevate the older girls. Peggy Verdonck wrote: > Lol, 'cats must look for house'.

Charles, they don't have to look for your house. They have a gossip line that is superior to ours. I think that once we are adopted by oe, we get an invisible tatoo on our forheads "SUCKER" katskat1 wrote: > You go Charles!
