I love my cat. She is my best friend and my sole companion at my darkest times.

I owe you a catnip mousie Dr, Bremmer. A whole one.

I love Arianna, and HuffPost is a great source for some progressive news, but I’ve observed it does have its own peculiar brand of sensationalism (tabloid-ishness).
With your move to a fully functional blog, I think you’re right that HP is a bit superfluous; you attract much more cogent discussion here as opposed to the often merely argumentative commentary over there.

I don’t have domesticated pets at the moment. Just a bunny freeloader that I leave scraps out for.

Yes, Orestes had some kind of feline leukemia or something like that. He had the most spirit and Arianna was more shy and reserved. Sorry to see him go. But we remember and honor him.

Cute kitties. My black-and-white kitty named Joey just died February 12th. Lymphoma. Chemo was unsuccessful. Arianna looks like my college kitty and favorite cat of all time who lived to 21, Sasha.

Yes, well maybe we need to do a study about the relationship between cats and writers.

Love your catty stream of consciousness.

Huffpost has been very clever in developing its niche as packager. But without newspapers, they would have no product and no profits.

Newspapers need to start charging for their stories instead of letting Google, Yahoo, and all the rest ride on their work and investment.

Nice interview! Gianna has an interview about coming off of psych meds on the radio that was just posted here,

The Lynden barn cats NEVER had Italian names, those were the ones from the later years. I can’t even remember their names, but we were saving them from the fate of getting thrown into the Nooksack River in a burlap bag (farmer’s birth control, shudder)

I’ve had a few Lynden barn cats as well… I’ll admit our first ones lacked names with as much charm as Arianna and Orestes (Blackey and Whitey, named for their individual black and white monotones, respectively). Good ‘ole barn cats.
