Purrs and Prayers

These are the kitties we know of at this moment that are on the sick list, needing lots of purrs and prayers. We aren't aware of any sick doggies at the moment or we would include them too. Too many have left for the bridge lately. We are hopeful each of these will be okay.


Beau's UnitedCats page
Beau is evidently seriously ill. The worst case scenario, he is in renal failure. Best case, he has a severe UTI and should respond to fluids. He will go back to the vets tomorrow.

Tucker & Pepper of Whimpurr's Whim.

Tucker has come home from the vet's but Pepper has taken his place. He might have cardiomyopathy. His chest was full of fluid.



Moki's blog
Moki's temp is still below normal, though the UTI is gone and the URI is better.

Miles (& Billy Sweet Feets is ill too)
Miles will spend the day at the vet's on Thursday for some tests.

PS -- We're sorry we forgot to include this yesteday, but if you haven't stopped by Forty Paws the last couple of days, you might want to drop by. They lost Grey yesterday.

Don't Miss CCSI IV

None of us are in the latest CCSI production, but Percy was in CCSI II and Cameron in CCSI III. The work was hard but they had a ball and they made a lot of friends among the cast and crew. So we would like to give this new one a short plug to help promote the new show.

Most of you visiting us are already looking forward to the next 3 days, but for any of you who haven't yet heard or have forgotten --

CCSI IV, The Momomo Caper, will run December 15, 16 & 17. We hope you already have it marked on your calendars. The place to view the show tomorrow through Wednesday is Sassy's.

We're looking forward to it and we hope to see you all there!

Our Hero

As many of you know, we have been offline much of the last 3 weeks. But we are almost back.

And we want to thank the human mainly responsible for that. Our friend, Mr Doug (Jan's brother). He ordered a new hard drive and (whatever) , then he took her computer home with him last Thursday evening. He brought it back late this afternoon and -- Oh, dear, we're getting just like Jan. We've got leaky eyes over this too.

If you remember, the second hard drive died, taking all her photos of us (and everyone else) with it, along with all her stories. Well, they're back. Mr Doug painstakingly retrieved them and they are on the new hard drive.

He had to do a lot of work, reloading some of her programs and loading some new ones to do the job. We know he didn't have everything he needed to work with, but he's good at improvising, and we want to let him know we really appreciate all his effort. Because we know he put a lot of hours into this.

He's not done yet. We still don't have a CD/DVD drive, for example. And it will take Jan a while to reorganize --- but we think we're almost back. (Jan is still in shock that her photos were recovered!)

Buddy: I don't know why you're all so surprised. Mr Doug has always been my hero. He saved my life when I was a little puppy!

Thank you, Mr Doug!
From all of us at JFF -
Crystal, Cotton, Merci, Cyndi, Percy, Cameron, Buddy, Rusty & Sam -- and Jan, of course

On the sad side, though, we learned this morning that in addition to losing our friends Skeeter and Cloud Chaser yesterday, Kelly and River's sister Sasha have also left for the bridge. There are a lot of tears among bloggers today.

Purry Logic Winners

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you on the book drawing, but .... Well, you really don't want to know. Let's just say Jan claims she never wants to ride a roller coaster again! We can't figure out when she had time to ride one lately -- or where -- but Jan says strange things every once in a while. So, if she thinks she has been having fun on carnival rides in the rain in December, who are we to contradict her? (She shops for our food, remember.)

It's such a dreary day we all napped while she wrote down the names of those who left comments on the Purry Logic book post and then cut them out for us. It's so nice having a servant to do the hard part.

And then Crystal insisted he get to choose the first one since he's the oldest. So we let him.

And then before we could decide who would draw the next name, Sam grabbed a strip of paper and threatened to eat it if we didn't let him choose the second name, since he is the youngest.

So -- no, Percy, we don't need a drumroll. Stop beating on the -- Never mind!

Sassy and Island Cats, if you'll each email us your snail mail address, we'll send you a copy of the book Purry Logic. jansfunnyfarm AT gmail DOT com.

UPDATE: The Island Cats emailed that they have already won a copy of the book and we can draw another winner. We did and Khyra won. We emailed her and in her usual humorous way, she accepted. So congratulations, Khyra and Sassy! And thank you, Wally, Ernie & Zoey.

Also a big thank you to Susan for the two copies to share with other bloggers!

We are still computerless, but we were -- um, Jan was loaned an old laptop for a few days, so even though it is slower than Jan, we are really glad to be able to finally post the winning names.

Now, if you will excuse us, it's nap time again. We don't want to waste a perfectly good rain day.

Crystal, Cotton, Merci, Cyndi, Percy, Cameron, Buddy, Rusty & Sam

PS - We are very sad to lose Skeeter and Cloud Chaser today. Each had to be helped to the bridge. We hope you will take a moment to leave a message for their families.
