OT: The cats on 15 June 2008 >^..^<

No real change in the situation. Silver and Fluffy will still attack
Pumpkin if I am not supervising them. I spend the time from getting
out of bed to going to work interacting with Silver and Fluffy. The
time from Midnight (when I get home from work) to 2 or 3 AM is spent
with Pumpkin in his room. This is also when I do my 2 hours of prayers
and devotions. Pumpkin bunts my legs as I pet him with my free hand.
At times I take a break, and we play with DA BIRD.

Pumpkin's favourite sleeping and resting place is still the heated bed
at the bedroom window. On Saturdays and Sundays, my days off, I often
see him with the afternoon sun on his back, stomach on the heated bed,
and looking sooooo serene. Cats understand the importance of naps.
Other times he is alert and watches the birds flying outside his
window. He seems to be content with his life, although I still hope to
somehow get the other two cats to accept him.

Not much else to report. The USPS muddles through, one day at a time.
I stay sober in AA, and attend the Noon meetings six days a week, if
possable. Just for today, I am reminded of what St. Francis de Sales
had to say..."A devout life is a lovely, a pleasent, and a happy
life." Indeed.

Cats understand the importance of luxuriating in comfort. :-)

Good luck; it might happen, or it may never happen. It's been almost 9
years since I adopted Herrie, & while Demelza (16) now tolerates him, I
seriously doubt if she will ever fully accept him - not to the point of
being friends. However, tolerance is *way* better then the
paranoia/hostility she showed towards him the first couple of years! It's
all relative...
