    Yes, Tolkien has an English professor's touch with words.

    All Thing Books And Reading Thread 2021

    I got a wild hair (whole wig more likely) and read the whole Harry Potter series last week. Well actually, about 10 days. Today I started Lord of The Rings. It just seemed appropriate somehow. I'm in a mood for some dark Tolkienian poetry. "From dark Dunharrow in the dim of morning with thane...

    My bank said the same thing, but mine was deposited yesterday.

    Return of the crazy cat man

    Had a visitor come to see how I was doing. Social distancing followed. I hope I didn't bum you out too much. We can see some sunshine ahead, happily. This is another thing the scientists (NERDS! NERDS! NERDS!) will study and pick apart for a long time. All the cats, both outdoor and indoor...

    Return of the crazy cat man

    Greetings, all! The last day of 2020. Finally! It seems like it has lasted forever. So many unknown friends gone. So much suffering all over the world. Hopefully, we will get a handle (preferably a stranglehold) on this micro sized killer. Will have to finish later.

    Installing a cat door

    I believe your cats will have no problems once they realize what is on the other end. If my mental conversion tables are correct, 175mm is 7 inches. My largest cat can go through a 5 inch (125mm) round hole. Of course, like I state, that is my opinion from 30 straight years of having multiple cats.

    Sugar is being more animated, talking to me and giving love bites. As for the kittens, que sera, sera. I found a wonderful product. Natural Care flea and tick Home Spray. Peppermint oil, eugenol (clove oil) and a surfactant. Inert ingredients mainly water with a little preservative. Smells...

    Or I can go with David Weber, who writes A-movie space opera. There is a plot going on that makes our problems in the USA look pretty. Politicians changing official communications, sending two star nations back to war, just to keep themselves in power and rich. These are the Honorverse books.

    All Thing Books And Reading Thread 2020

    I have wasted too much time reading about the election, but I have re-read a lot of the Discworld books, and a 9-book series called Oblivion I got for 99¢ on BookBub. Pure B-movie type space opera. I have found that Sir Terry Pratchett can distract my mind from the midden impacting the windmill...

    Thank you. She was 9 years old. She and Sugar were adopted from the Cedar Hill TX animal shelter. They were kittens and had Giardia. My brother and sister-in-law took them and fostered them. I had lost two that year, 2011, and said I would take them once they were cured. Sugar was in deep...

    Unfortunately, I had to have Spice euthanized. She had a blood disease that was quickly killing her. I think she had it for a while, then the fleas got to her. So, all I have left of the Ladies are Sugar and Sheba. I do have more, though. I have Two-Face and Qtπ (Cutie pie), both are dark...

    I am using PetAction Plus. It is the same as Frontline Plus. It definitely works. It takes a week or so to kill the whole cycle, it seems. I got three tubes big enough to do all the indoor cats, plus some left over for $15.99 from Amazon. It took a week to get here, though. I didn't check to...

    Not bad. Still having pain in my ankle, but that is going to be a lifetime thing. Fortunately, it is usually low-grade that blends into all the other low-grade pains. The car had a tire go down on the dirt road I live on and took a sharp rock in the sidewall and got a cut that looks like...

    You are in the wrong thread.

    Return of the crazy cat man

    And probably for a long time. I was in the hospital for a week and had casts on until the end of April. Then I was given a walking boot, which I used for a month. I now wear a drugstore Ace ankle brace 23 hours a day. Sometimes I move just wrong and can feel the bones pop, like a knee popping...
