So safe and sound in our cute new apartment, Felix began wailing and crowing something like a rooster, but not exactly. I also bought one of those diffuser thingys that is expensive and, as far as I can tell, ineffective. I've stashed it away but Felix is doing better. Time heals many wounds. <br /><br />So my question is, have you tried giving him marijuana? Or maybe meditating? If you do it, perhaps he will follow suit? Good luck!Dvorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677105625085234763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-82667874620170179242012-11-11T14:05:02.194+01:002012-11-11T14:05:02.194+01:00Can I borrow Arthur?

I'm in Menton and it's a traditional place for people to come and "take in the vapours." I think it applies to cats too. Plus there's lots of fish.

I found you. <br />You inspire me. Really. I only wish I had half your drive and enthusiasm for life. <br /><br />As to King Arthur I only have one thing to tell him: get over it!<br />You are living the life Mr. Cat, so stop stressing about it. <br />Best regards,<br />SylviaSylvia S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14060973757039184482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-34127889615382948092012-11-09T04:43:23.676+01:002012-11-09T04:43:23.676+01:00HA!

Mark's son Erik is studying at the University of Nice (he's a senior at Hamline, a French and anthropology major) and we were going to visit. But alas, we felt the stress of a down year financially and decided not to come at this time. Already dreaming about future opportunities. I would love it if Erik would settle in France, so we would have a constant excuse to visit.
