Have you seen this musical theatre called "Pippin" playing in Bethesda?

[Pippin]

HEH! HEH! HEH!

[Pippin]

No, But it sounds fun!

[Billie]

Sistahs, I love this - I just love it! I already told dutchess last night, Free, that Giz is just too good at this interviewing stuff! :)

I absolutely love and am amazed at the creativity of all you wonderful FReepers! It just never ends!

Free, the pictures were awfully small, and I made all of them a 'little' larger, but still wish we could have had larger ones to start with. I'm guessing maybe some you scanned were even poloroids? (which might be a little smaller than a regular snapshot.) Some of the photos of Bobbi are not as clear as those of Kitty either, and I hate that we have fewer of her than Kitty, but the white just gets washed out so easily. : (

[Pippin]

Hi, (((BILLIE)))!

[The Thin Man]

LOL! Those two comic strips pretty much explain all there is to know about cats.

Here is Lucy, my Lilly of the Valley.

She lives with my friend Dennis, and it is my privilege to have her as my guest when he heads off, once a year, or so, to visit his kids in Alabama, or Australia.

She's no lap cat, and quite aloof, but if one acts as a gentleman should, she will consent to a wee kiss, if I ask not too often.

We bonded a little bit more the last time I kept her, and I could feel her become more at ease, a little more open.

She's wayyyyy precious...)

And, Lady X, you're quite right about the difference between indoor and outdoor kitties...poor Dennis has to always be on guard against Lucy making a break...he uses duct tape to keep the screen door closed, else she'd be long gone...)))

[FreeTheHostages]

Ah -- that's good info to know. I can adjust the size I put them into in my scanner. I could have made them bigger -- I just wasn't sure on size. Some day, when I get a pile of time, I'm going to learn all this stuff. My photos are always too big or too small, so thanks for helping! Yes, Gizmo's the best! This is really a lovely piece, I think. Bobbi likes the fact that there aren't many photos of her, trust me. She's very shy.

Hey, DC girlfriends (and therefore presumptively catlovers too!), come see my pets! Aren't they cute!!? It's true they haven't done anything recently to actually help out in a DC Freep, but they lend moral support.

[Billie]

Afternoon, dear Sistah Dansy! Got your mail and will answer it this afternoon. Isn't this the cutest thread? I must say that Giz appears to be the sweeter of the reporters we have on this thread! LOL

[LadyX]

What a sweet expression, captivating the masses - and you..:))

"Her Sereneness" has hair nearly as long as my Binky's.

[FreeTheHostages]

What is it about cats and refrigerators?

[iceskater]

She is gorgeous!! And such a regal posture she has.

I have a cat named Lucy also. She was an aloof cat at first as well. Then I broke my ankle and she became my constant companion. Maybe your Lucy will do the same one day - although I don't wish a broken ankle on you.

[iceskater]

Isn't that the truth!

[jwfiv]

Cat's are definitely healers...and, I didn't take your wish to include a broken ankle...although, if I don't break a long soon and get busy, not much will get done this day.

Hmmm...iceskater...broken ankle...is there a link between name and fracture...?

[jwfiv]

Lucy is my own little Mae West, replete with petticoat and just the right 'sway'...)

[LadyX]

To All Cat Owners, Who Surely Identify With This:

Always have to have 'fresh' food...
and they watch until you get it!

[iceskater]

Hmmm...iceskater...broken ankle...is there a link between name and fracture...?

Sigh. Yes, I'm afraid so. About 2 years ago, it was the very first broken bone I ever had in my life and I was quite the tomboy when I was a kid. I wish I could say I was doing something fabulous like a triple-whatever jump but no, I was working on a spin. My toepick caught the ice and down I went. I must have "landed" in just the right way to break the bone. And to make matters worse, this was right around Thanksgiving so I spent the whole holiday season in a lovely purple cast. But in spite of the injuries (and I've been racking them up lately), I still love to skate. It's joy to me.

[MeekOneGOP]

Howdy !

[LadyX]

They definitely are manipulators, worming their way into your affections and properly 'training' you.

They 'teach' you 'compassion' and 'caring' and 'love me' - - even more adeptly than the sirens who tempted sailors in mythology...:))
