Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you all know we are doing fine. The cats have finally settled in and I have found most everything in the gazillion boxes I had. Now if I could just get warm..... All the ferts are in fine shape. When we first hit Columbia a couple of them had the sniffles. I was all set to take them to the vet's in St. Louis, but guess what? They got rid of them!! All by themselves! They have some magical dance they perform only while I am asleep which transfers their ailments to me. That's right, for several days I have been sick with a horrible cold, moaning and whining. And all those guys have done is laugh. I will have to dream up suitable punishment for them. Now if only I had a doc to go to. Miss Stella has informed me that they are terribly abused. You see, they only have one room of the new house to run around in as I can't figure out how to ferret proof a couple of places. So she regularly stands at the door of the room, hands on hips, telling me that I have made a mistake and should let her out. She is by far my smallest and wisest, so I am going to have to be extra careful here. I am hoping to figure out things soon. I can't live with the guilt too much longer without cracking. Miss White Fang is doing good too. I moved her and Nicky, her sweetheart, into my bedroom tonight and it took her all of 2 seconds to open the bathroom cabinets. Sigh. I guess child proof locks are on the horizon. But we three had a fine game of chase and then treated ourselves to raisins. Nicky is much happier with the new house. In Houston I had hardwood floors and vinyl most everywhere. With his limited hind leg use, he had a lot of trouble getting around. Well, there is carpet almost everywhere here and he runs like a maniac! Several times he danced up and attacked my feet tonight, biting the **** out of my toes. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the fuzzies out there, and also with all their human caretakers. Mo' Maggie and the Laughing Crew [Posted in FML issue 1747]
