New Lessons Learned

* The very things that I love about cats as pets--their independence, their lack of self-pity--are the very things that make them dreadful patients.

* Each year I set high expectations for how much I can get done during the holidays, fail miserably, and yet I still think I can do it the following year.

* If you kept separate last names, decide which name you'll use for your pets BEFORE you get to the vet clinic. This will save a lot of confusion and explaining.

* Keeping a cat in a cast is damn near impossible.

* Trying to save money by turning down the heat loses its appeal when it drops below freezing.

* After 3 emergency trips to the bet clinic to have a cast put back on your cast, designing kitty suspenders becomes immensely appealing.

What an amazing idea! Kitty suspenders - I think these are what in England we would call braces. My husband has a jokey set which is decorated with tools.
I wonder if anyone makes mouse patterned elasticated fabric..........
