How to ignore your life

I am a professional avoider of life. I am so good at it, I should start a business. I have so much to do, and the list keeps getting longer. Its a double edged sword though. I have a long list of things to do because I'm avoiding life, and I have a long list of things to do because I'm avoiding facing the list and the list keeps growing longer. When I have a ton of stuff to do, I go to a movie. That's two hours I don't have to think about anything and I'm thoroughly entertained. Going to the movies also has the added bonus of two of my comforts, diet coke and popcorn. I'm not a movie buff, I just love avoiding life. I'm also figuring out that I need to lock up my home computer. Whenever my computer is not here, its in the car or at work, I get tons done. It is my home avoidance system. Like right now, I'm starving, but don't know what to eat for breakfast, so here I am on my computer, and watching tv. Yes, this blog today is my free therapist. I'm due at Bonne's house around 1pm, I hope that will go well. What I need to do is... scoop litterboxes, bleach litterboxes, vaccum and wash floors, wash walls, bleach the house, clean the bathrooms, pull a bunch of poop for fecals, finish the laundry, buy more totes to contain the cat beds, box up stuff to go to Phyllis' for storage. Notice anything? None of this really benefits ME. I need to make breakfast, do my hair, take a walk - and get off the computer. Bye!

Blondie - The Superstar


This is my show girl. She is a sweet and loving LARGE girl. At 3 months of age she is already nearly 5 pounds. I was almost thinking I should get weight OFF of her! Her coat is dense and curly. Her paint job is gorgeous and who knows what color she is. I'm thinking in CFA she is going to be called a dilute torbie with white or a dilute calico. In TICA she will either be a black silver patched tabby or a black silver tortoishell with white. I think she has some stripes in her tail so she will likely end up being a patched tabby. She's beautiful and sweet all the same. She should eventually make some nice babies with Grissom.

Cassie - all growed up

Look at this beautiful girl! She will be 4 months old in Dec. Because she is a straight coated selkirk rex, I cannot show her in purebred competition. But what a shame!! Her paint job is by far the most magnificent I've ever seen on any cat. She is also independent, but sweet, a classic tortie girl. I've decided to show her as a Household Pet Kitten in TICA. That should be fun and she should do well. She travels very well too so hopefully I can send her on some road trips with friends.

Kramer is growing up


Sept 2 we had a birth at Dramatails from Katomymme Evening. Her first kitten was born in the afternoon. A beautiful curly mac tabby. Her labor continued with no progress. Another $1800 later, and one dead baby, we got Kramer. Within 24 hours the first baby died, leaving Kramer as an only kitten. Unfortunately, Evie was just too confused and in too much pain to be a good mother. So my good friend Phyllis took in Kramer and one of her manx queens has raised him. He is 10 weeks old now and a beautiful black smoke shorthair. His registered name is Dramatails Nightmare on Elm Street. He was going to be called "Krueger" but it came out to be Kramer and Phyllis says he answers to it. So Kramer it is.
