By popular request here is our favourite little pig with one of her friends

Really, it was. Wind howling, rain pelting. My (not yet) wife and I were living on the third floor of an apartment building. Her tom cat Ebony (yes, a black cat) had recently moved in with us after having spent some time in the country. He was very much an outdoor cat, and we were not in a great outdoor cat place, but we had a fire escape off our bedroom window, and he figured out how to get up and down it to go prowling. So, the dark and stormy night...wasn't stormy when we went to bed. The thunder woke us up, and my (not yet) wife said "I think I hear Ebony at the window." Which was my cue to get out of bed and let him in. Looked out the window, couldn't see ANYTHING, but I opened it anyway. The wind and rain came rushing in, practically knocking back off my feet. Lightning flashed, lit up the open window, and there was the black cat, letting out a howl. His front legs were shredded, and blood was dripping out of his mouth. Ok, I screamed. This poor cat looked like something out of Pet Semetary, really and truly. Given that we were living just a mile from Stephen King's house made the possibility all the more likely. Ebony used up a few of his lives that night, but he lived on to have numerous other adventures. And getting to live a scene from a horror movie used up a few of mine as well. Eb was a pretty cool cat, all-in-all. We've had all of our cats (and dogs) spayed or neutered ever since.

I consider it a real honor to have a mouse at my door. Glad to see China Cat still has some spunk!_____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

2 nights ago my little kitten (ok so she's not a kitten anymore, but I can think that) went on an adventure. Trying to air out the house, one of our windows was open, because I hadn't cleaned it yet (snow/ice problems), she got when I was gone. When I finally got home she had been missing for a little while (according to others in the house). Looking at Casey (animal shelter kitty, hand shy but truly an attention-whore, very cuddly) I ask her where her best friend went, and I saw in her eyes "outdoors". Believe me when I say I'd rather have her outdoors, but not with a busy street right next to the homestead. So I looked around the building and didn't find her....oh well, I thought, she'll come back. I was sad or more worried about the drunken driver car people. Knowing that she was brought up right, I just trusted her....cabin fever jaunt maybe. So I go to bed with the window open (can you just do that anytime here? NO, it's usually too cold or too hot) and about 3:30am I'm sleeping away with my ears atuned to the outdoors....MEOW (in a soft yet not-to-subtle Sierrah tone) and instantly I woke up. Hey baby, there you are....I walk outside and click-call her right into my arms. This is not the first cat, nor dog, that has done this indoors or out. Yet I always know they will find their way home because if you bring them up right, they just know! Amazing kitty. _____________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Who is a grumpy, senile old dude of 17, had been worrying us all winter. Seemed like he was wasting away, getting thinner by the day. BUT All of the sudden he seems to have Spring Fever. He has been going out this week, and even brought home a mouse yesterday (hadn't hunted in ages). Collective sigh of relief. ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

I can see it now, the Noelle the Sanglier fan club...
