Happy Friday everyone! First off, Phoebe has something to tell everyone. I am so embarassed- and very sorry. I thought CK was giving me a boyfriend, but she was just going to let me” borrow” him to go to a dance. I am very sorry for all the drama and confusion. Hope everyone still likes me. Now back to Mom and Lucy:
Today Lucy and I are not recommending a book, but we have a newsletter to recommend. We are fortunate to live less than an hour from Cummings School of Vet Medicine, part of Tufts University. They publish a monthly newletter with many articles on new discoveries in feline health and behavior. I used to subscribe and found it very informative. Then I was mad at Tufts because my beloved KaChoo died there in 2010 so I didn’t reorder the newsletter.
My kitty was sick and wasn’t going to make it so I can’t blame them. They did convince me to spend $6,000 on testing though. I would like to think they were trying their best to help and not trying to raise money for the school. Overall, it is a great resource that is open 24/7, one just needs to be reasonable when it comes to testing. I think I figured the more I spent, I would save KaChoo. I didn’t want to face what I knew in my heart and I am sure many people do the same.
I am getting 10 issues for $20 which seems fair for some detailed articles about health. I plan to share the imformation I get, but if you are interested in getting it yourself, here is the link: http://vet.tufts.edu/publications/catnip.html.
It is cccccold here in Massachusetts- Lucy has a heavy duty fleece scarf for today:
Have a nice day!
Oh my…well, I am sure you will get a boyfriend. You are cute & sweet.
Tufts is an excellent vet reference. I like them, too.
Thank you, but Mom says I can’t date now.
We have subscribed to Catnip for about 2 years now and love it. They cover so much useful stuff.
It is a great source ๐
Phoebe, take CK up on her offer and borrow Flynn. I am sure the two of you will have a great time.
I am sure we would, but Mom says I can’t date now.
Some people my human knows used to write for Catnip!
Your mom does know a lot of people ๐
Well even borrowing a handsome mancat like Flynn for a date is definitely a step in the right direction! It’s kind of CK to share…………..!!
Hugs, Sammy
Yes, it would be, but Mom says I can’t date now.
The mom has gotten Catnip for a number of years now. She finds the info very helpful. Stay warm, Phoebe.
Glad you get Catnip too. Phoebe is trying to stay warm, it is actually 25 today better than the low of the night before of -7-gotta love New England ๐
You are such a pretty one so the boyfriend will find you!
Thank you, but Mom says I can’t have a boyfriend now.
Mommy has subscribed for two years now. It is jammed with real and valuable info. Mom didm;t save the first three issues but she does now! xxoo Tell you mommy MY mommy understand how she felt. ALL the mommy’s here do.
Thank you Katie and please thank your mommy too.

I can’t date now- I will post about it Sunday. And please tell your mom we will copy the good info. for you and send it to you from the newsletter.
I bet you will find yourself a boyfuriend in no time !
It was furry noce of CK to let you go with Flynn ๐
XOXO
Yes, it was nice of her, but mom says no dating now. I can be friends with everyone, but no romance-phooey.
Phoebe Flynn will make a great “borrowed” companion, definitely take CK up on her offer.
Yes, FLynn is great, but mom said no dates now. I need to focus on my writing career.
Hi Phoebe! Please don’t be sad, it was a simple misunderstanding and nobody is mad at you.
You are a true gentleman Flynn.Thank you ๐
We don’t know Catnip, thank you for letting us know ! Purrs
You’re welcome. I will be sharing information that I get from reading it.
No apology needed. Iโm sorry I ruined the dating thing for you. Just make the mancats *think* you like them and be yourself. I donโt date either; I have โflings.โ
TW used to get Catnip ages ago and then Pop suscribed last year. I donโt know what he did with them but TW never got to read them.
You didn’t ruin dating for me, my brother did. I am going to write about it tomorrow. Tell Pop to let your Mom read them.
Sorry you had a misunderstanding and hope it all gets worked out. The newsletter sounds good — thank you for sharing info with us.
Its all worked out ๐ Catnip is a great source for new information about health.
Phoebe, you look very sweet in that photo as does Lucy in her fleece! Tell your Mama we understand about her giving away all those green papers. Some times it is hard to let go and accept everyone has a time to leave the world and when that times arrives , it can’t “unarrive” no matter how many green papers are spent.XO
the critters in the cottage xo
Phoebe and Lucy thank you and so do I ๐
I think a borrowed boyfriend might be better than a permanent one. This way you get a companion for the dance but you’re not tied to him for a long time. I’m not saying you should be fickle or loose with your affections, but it could be nice to date several man cats and have lots of fun dates with a variety of suitors.
I have decided none of my kitties can date, Phoebe will write about it tomorrow.
Thanks for letting us know about that newsletter. We hadn’t heard of it before. Lucy probably needs an entire fleece suit. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Yes, I think she does. I covered her with my fleece pajama top the other day and she stayed there for hours.
As long as you gave him back when you were done no harm no foul.
Ha
Timmy
