168.0. "Nashua FELINErs Gathering" by SELL3::FAHEL (Amalthea Celebras/Silver Unicorn) Fri Jan 31 1992 09:26

    I figured I'd better talk about it in a new note.
    
    Last night's gathering at Mary's was wonderful!  Beth was...well, what
    can I say?  I STILL can't get over her!  My husband had brought his
    videocamera, and she became a little ham...playing up to the camera,
    even "looking" right into the lens!  The rest of the her little furries 
    were also very entertaining.  ;^)
    
    It was great to get a chance to meet other FELINErs face to face, and
    seeing photos of some of the "kids"  (Loved Chubs...re-nicknamed
    "Raymond Furr")
    
    I know I can't thank Mary enough for her hospitality (and the pizza!)

    Yes, it was great to meet more feliners!  And Beth...  well, like K.C.
    I also can't get over her.  she is a *doll*, and gets around just fine!
    There were times, both in watching her, and in watching the videotape
    of her, that I swear *she could see*.  Watching her chase a ball was
    amazing.  It certainly puts my mind at ease about my Midnight, whose 
    cateracts are getting worse.  
    
    Thanks, Mary, for opening your home to us (and the pizza), and
    especially for your caring for those great kitties.

168.4CSSE32::RAWDENCheryl Graeme RawdenFri Jan 31 1992 13:136
    Yes, many thanks to Mary for having us over!  Beth is a real
    sweetheart.  Too bad Mary wouldn't let me take her for a ride though.  :^)
    
    Lisa, if you promise a Terry's Orange or two, or three, or...  Well,
    let's just say that I'd be booking a flight on British Air!  Wonder how
    many cats I could stick in my suitcase for the return flight?  :^) :^)
168.5WISDOM::TAYLORJust ONE happy thought ... fly!Fri Jan 31 1992 13:1513
Yes, again, thank you Mary.  I had a really good time.  Beth was absolutely 
amazing.  I loved playing with her on the couch.  I'd scratch vinal on the
couch and she'd be able to follow my fingers!  And she's SO beautiful!!

I loved the others too.  Especially Honey.  And those pictures are beautiful. 

Thank you so much for your hospitality, Mary.  And for the pizza and that 
wonderful cheese dip.  

It was great seeing everyone again!  And hearing all of those FUNNY kitty
stories!! (-:

168.6VORTEX::TPMARY::TAMIRDECforms RoadieFri Jan 31 1992 13:2213
Ahem, Holly, that was fine Italian leather....

It was great having all you feliners over last night!  But the funniest thing
happened after Cheryl left.  Right on cue, Cheryl goes out the door and
Honey comes right out, followed by Chauncey, who allowed just about everyone
to pet him, and then came Biff.  I dunno, Cheryl, you leave and all my cats 
come out of hiding!  Even Julie popped around the corner to say hi!

Now, what do with all that PIZZA!!!

But, isn't Beth cute?!?!?!?

Mary
168.7Thanks Mary, make me feel rotten and hated by all cats!CSSE32::RAWDENCheryl Graeme RawdenFri Jan 31 1992 13:335
    Yo!  I'm coming back tonight for a private viewing then.  :^)
    
    Well, when I got in last night, I was smothered with love from Zelda
    and Chubs.  Mostly Chubs and there's a lot of him to go around.  :^) 
    At least there are *some* cats out there that like me! 
168.8WISDOM::TAYLORJust ONE happy thought ... fly!Fri Jan 31 1992 14:4710
ooops!  I'm sorry Mary!!  I didn't MEAN to type vinyl!!  honest!!

Yeah, that's it!  I knew it was fine italian leather!  I just made a 
mistake! (-:

ANYWAY, I loved Beth.  What a beautiful baby!!  

Hey Cheryl, WHAT was that about Tri-pods??? (-:

168.9CSSE32::RAWDENCheryl Graeme RawdenFri Jan 31 1992 16:564
    A tripod is a cat with three legs, isn't it?   
    
    It is amazing how people from across the room suddenly hear what you
    are saying.  I wonder how the weather is in Haiti?  :^)
168.10WISDOM::TAYLORJust ONE happy thought ... fly!Fri Jan 31 1992 17:163
Yeah, it's a gray cat that a lady in Connecticut has!!

Haiti's supposed to be Hot, VERY hot! (-:
168.11VORTEX::DSSDEV::TAMIRDECforms RoadieFri Jan 31 1992 20:346
    Even Beth was laughing over that one!  She just doesn't know WHY!!
    
    Thanks again to all--it was a blast!!  And the leftovers ain't bad
    either....salsa, pizza and brownies for dinner!!!!

    Holly, Haiti IS hot (especially in August), but I don't think we were
    talking about the weather.  :^)
    
    Mary, it's all your fault that I bought a Dirt Devil this weekend. 
    (had to get the two speed for extra power - long haired cats, you
    know!)  Chubs heard me telling Bill about your double decker sheepskin
    bed and now he won't rest until he has one!  These get togethers are
    nice but they cost me too much money.  I wonder if Zelda knows about
    leather couches.  :^)
168.13ThanksCGOOA::LMILLERhasten slowlyMon Feb 03 1992 16:2113
    Hi,  I want to say thanks for the invite to the party.  It was neat to
    meet the faces behind the notes, but it's so strange to only know
    someone by NODE::NAME.
    
    As for Beth, she just would not stay in my pocket, no matter how hard I
    tried!  I wish I could have stayed but meeting with the other partners
    was sort of compulsory - we are so spread out - we hardly ever see each
    other and the marketing people at the same time.  No comment!
    
    Thanks to all the people I saw for bringing pictures, videos etc. 
    Maybe next time I can stay longer.

168.14ThanksBLKCAT::WARDTue Feb 04 1992 12:416
    Ditto what everyone else said Mary.  Thanks!!  Sorry I also had to
    leave early, but I delayed Heather's medicine as long as I could.  I
    also still think Beth can see.  It's great to see a "handicapped" (that
    word is just not applicable for Beth) cat that doesn't know they are.
