New Kitty!

**sydnie7** · 16th February 12, 09:00 AM

A friend of mine did name one of her cats Loki, cute little feral kitten rescued from her (my friend's) mother's back yard. Turned into one of the nicest cats she had ever cared for, until it had a fatal encounter with a car.

[My succession of kitties have been 100% house-bound since the early 80s]

Keep the sticky rollers handy. Even if your kitty never shares the same room as your kilt, the cat fur will mysteriously show up on it.

What, may I ask, is a "hermit crap"?

I'd check with Tyger about that . . .

Here you go.

A small crab that finds and occupies new/discarded shells as it grows. Some people keep them as pets. My wife's hermit crab when she was a child was named "Hermie".
