->  RH> Kittens most often come in pairs, but sometimes they come in 
triplets.
-> 
-> Only times we had more than two was when a cat had kittens. Had that
-> happen I think 4 times but the one time, the mom cat was only 9 months
-> old and the babies only lived a couple of days. Before we could get her
-> to the vet, she went out again and more kittens were on the way,
-> successfully.
-> 
Poor mama.  A cat we had when I was really little had kittens and one of 
them died.  She had another litter later.  They went to the vet and caught 
something that killed them.  Then mama cat went out one day and didn't come 
back. No idea what happened to her.

-> Most of the time we had only one cat at a time. Had 2 dogs several
-> times, plus the cat(s), a canary and a (small) fish tank. Dogs and cats
-> were indoor/outdoor ones.

We've generally had two, but had three for a while.  
 
-> -> I think he dozes some but he's trying to be somewhat active. As I was
-> -> working on supper, he thought about setting the table, then realised
-> -> that he couldn't. Nice thought tho, same as cleaning the wok after
-> -> supper. He usually does it for me but I did it tonight.
-> 
->  RH> Tell him not to worry about it.  There are some things that will be
->  RH> off his menu for a while.  Nap taking however is definitely NOT 
among
->  RH> them.
-> 
-> No, I'm waking him up now so he will be alert for supper to be served
-> shortly. Spinach/strawberry salad, turkey tenderloin and quinia. Got the
-> spinach at the farmer's market earlier today.
-> 
I don't think he'll mind being woken up for that!  
 
->  RH> Exactly.  The bananas came just like they were picked off the tree,
->  RH> and the spiders would hitch a ride.  Wharf cats thought they made 
good
->  RH> toys.
-> 
-> Free fun!
-> 
Also free lunch!
 
-> -> one give away but that was enough. We ate it as fast as we could,
then
-> -> used the food stamps to buy the good stuff.
-> 
->  RH> Namely anything but the pasteurized processed cheese "food".
-> 
-> For sure! We belonged to a natural foods co-op; I got a lot of my cheese
-> from them. That's where I learned to appreciate Jarlesberg Swiss cheese.
-> 
Yum. I can't imagine why.  I sometimes find cheese in the market marked
down 
to get rid of it.  Not the Jarlsberg though; it doesn't last long enough in 
the case.
 
-> -> I probably could, but never had the opportunity to try.
-> 
->  RH> It's not difficult.  You need some pliers and a screwdriver 
sometimes,
->  RH> but if I can manage you could.
-> 
-> Most likely, I've got my own tool box full of goodies.

I've got my late dad's, and some of my own, and some of Grandpa's.  I'm 
pretty well set.
 
-> -> I still like stove top instead of the crock pot for some things.
-> -> Marinara sauce, for one.
-> 
->  RH> Quite probably correct.  Baked beans however work well in a crock.
-> 
-> It's about the only way I do beans now.
-> 
I haven't done any in ages.  There are only two of us, and those recipes
are 
generally for a crowd.
 
->  RH> Oddly the chunk I left in the office fridge was still there this
->  RH> afternoon when I dropped something off.  That didn't last long once 
I
->  RH> put it out in the open on a conference table.(LOL)
-> 
-> Probably forgotten in the busy-ness of the start of the week. If nobody
-> had anything that needed to be put into the fridge, it could have been
-> easily forgotten. But, it's history now.

Cheese under the bridge, as it were. Or down the hatch.
