Preia's latest trick:

While I'm lying on the sofa, she jumps from the ceiling-level bookshelf onto my belly.

THUNK!

Just wait until she's as big as the boys!

She's been closing the distance some since you were here...

Ah...the famous kamikaze kitty manuver. Jethro is a pro at this. The funniest time was when we were on vacation in Vermont with friends and brought him and they brought their golden retreiver. Jethro HATES dogs. He drpooed down from a stairwell onto Corey's back and rode him like a lion trying to take down an antelope. Corey was unimpressed and we were hysterical, especially since Jethro had been lying in wait for him to walk by for a good 45 minutes.


Cats-better than TV.†

Geri, I have added you as a friend so that you can read what I wrote in response to your excellent post to poet dan. I also added you because I really respected what you wrote, liked what you had listed as interests and enjoyed reading your lj. I hope you don't mind. :)

Thanks so much for adding me, and also thank you for what you wrote in response to my note to Dan. I'm glad that Rich's journal was good to read, for you.

Cool that you're a counselor... I'm also one, a psychologist doing part time private practice and part time work in a non-profit agency. Yup, it's a fine line we walk between trying to avert peoples' suicide and trying to respect their right to do it. I've found that it helps my work to try and determine whether the person is thinking of suicide because they want to get away from an anguishing problem (I'd say the majority fall into that category) or because they really want to die.

Do you know about the therapyshare LJ community, btw? There are a handful of therapists who post on that.

Adding you to my friends list too,
Geri

I do know about that community but I didn't really find much there last time I went, I will check it out again - thank you for that. Also glad you added me, I like your thoughts, it's good to know someone in the same field, although psychologist is much harder to become than counselor (they are both hard but usually people think of counselors as somehow inferior I don't know why but I know I couldn't do the psych course because I am terrible at math and wouldn't pass that aspect of it). I like my course, I work at the local rape crisis center as well, I'm new to this so I don't knwo as much as I could but I'm trying, that post really woke me up, and I really appreciate that, sometimes there isn't that kind of stuff on lj and I just love it when there is. Maybe also because I'd been thinking about the impact of suicide in relation to a client I found this particularly moving, I think you are a good person for writing what you did and I believe it will help Dan a lot. If you like poetry (and it's totally okay if you don't!) I have another journal (albino_phoenix) where I TRY (emphasis on try) to write poetry, but it's not very good yet, I'm a work in progress.

Glad to know you.

Does she do the knead-the-boob thing? This gets ever more painful as they get bigger and heavier.

She kneads a bit... not much yet though.
