Postal is Getting Big!


Well Miss Postal has grown a LOT in two months!! I was so glad when she started eating dry cat food. No more getting up in the middle of the night to give her a bottle, no more tossing out canned cat food because it had gotten stale and dry.

She "lives" in the pantry right now with the door open and a baby gate between the pantry and the kitchen whenever the dogs are inside. When the dogs are outside she has the run of the house. She has just this week begun to jump up onto the top of the baby gate and perch there, observing the goings-on in the kitchen.

Last night she came over the baby gate and PAST the sleeping dogs in order to climb noisily up on to the bed, attack wiggly feet, and purr loudly into previously sleeping ears.


She looks like a cat, it's true, but she ACTS like a kitten. It was really hard getting a picture of her because she won't be still.

Hi vanhorn, thanks for the comment! He is a she :) and she was found as a kitten, eyes still closed, in a box of parts which had been shipped from somewhere. You can read her story here.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by linking someone to your blog, but if you email me I'll step you through it. Let me know if you mean putting a link to other blogs in the margin of your own blog's main page, or putting a link to someone else's blog in the text of one of your blog entries, or putting a link to your own blog into the comments on someone else's blog.

Vanhorn, I just read through your blog and I love it! I'm so glad you visited and I got a chance to find out about your blog. The peacocks are beautiful. I'd love to know how to make the pumpkin flower pancakes.

Hi Leslie - I am a big fan of your blog : )

For the pumpkin flower pancake - (I am not very good with recipes in terms of measurements so please excuse me. I cook by looking and tasting : ) here is what you need:

For 3-5 big size flowers:

*1/2 -1 cup lentils (soaked for an hour or so)
*1/2 tea spoon turmeric (the yellow indian spice or, if you have curry powder)
* salt to taste
* a pinch of baking soda

After the lentil has soaked for an hour - run it through a blender to make a very thick paste (if its watery - it wont fry nicely or coat to the petals).

Take this paste and season it with the salt, turmeric/curry powder, baking soda (gives it a crunch) and let it sit for a few minutes.

now - take some nice big size flowers - (my mom always look inside for bees or any other bugs) and coat each flower nicely with the paste you made.

heat up some olive oil (no need to deep fry) and fry the flowers. its a great appretizer or a great side dish to a fish.

Sorry if I confused you : ) hope you get the picture. My email is tashreef@yahoo.com. I am trying to learn how to link your blog on the margin of my blog as one of my favorite blog. Thanks again! M

Good! to hear again about Postal; she obviously has a good home. A loving cat can be such a joy. Thank you for the photos.

Hi Leslie - I managed to figure out the linking issue. Let me know if you try the pumking flower recipe..I guess we will need to wait for summer again.

My wife says hello to Postal! Thanks for your generosity with her. Take care!

Vanhorn, that sounds REALLY interesting. I can't wait to try it this summer when my squash are in bloom. Thank you!

Glad you got the link working too.

Lesle, she is a pistol, that's for sure. Always busy and squirmy.
