Welcome to Mishikoonz!
ConstructionZone!
New Webdesign is begun!
After several years of cobbled-together pages, and a brief foray into outsourcing (Thanks, Susan!), I finally took the plunge and invested in Dreamweaver to update the website. Please excuse the dust of unlinked links and missing pages while Mishi and I figure out the program! (JANUARY UPDATE: Six weeks in, the project is slower than expected. Why am I not surprized?!)

Around the cattery: We're getting a new look...SLOWLY!
Mishi's blog
Hi, I'm Mishi......and yes, this is MY cattery!
Don't be fooled by the whole illusion of humans-in-charge... if you look close, you'll see that it's just that cats have delegated the authority. After all, we have better things to do than earn a living or clean up after ourselves!
I'd like to say that my people do a fine job with everything...but frankly, I think they're a little lax at times. With all that's going on, I (the Mishikat) will be taking over the website redesign. It'll take me a while to get everything up to snuff, so patience, please. I'm even slower now that I have extra duties due to KITTENS!

The Holidays are over and we've moved far enough into the new year so that most of the time, I now remember to write "2012" instead of "2011". Time really does seem to fly. My mom always said that as you get older, the days go faster. How true!
I have a day off from work, and the website is my focus today. The goal: update of the kitten page and at least two more base pages completed! Funny how reality changes the standard--I thought the website redesign would be no more than a month's project when I pulled the old site down. Like almost everything else...triple the estimate, and that's about right. And the Mishikat can complain about his humans, but HIS typing skills are not so hot, either! Maybe we should both delegate it to one of the polydactyls? 
Like most estimates, today will no doubt result in less getting done than I'd hoped for. Besides the usual chores, we have vet appointments this afternoon-- All good stuff, but still a 45 minute drive each way, plus the time there.
Kent Cooper at Carrier animal hospital is worth the effort-- best vet I've ever used, with amazing skill as a surgeon, diagnostician, feline fertility guru, and a just plain nice human being.
Today he will give rabies and the last vaccination in the kitten series to Sabrina and Boo Kitty (Now officially named Mishikoonz Sabrina T and Mishikoonz PeekaBoo P) ...do a physical on our new Queen from the east coast (Tac-n-Tac Abbey Doodles, aka "Doodlebug"--thanks, Terry, for this very sweet girl) ...and my personal favorite: do a sono check for pregnancy on Riochama. Fingers crossed!! First for healthy babies...then for a smoke or silver polydactyl boy kitten with fabulous conformation.
Hey, we all have dreams. :-)
UPDATE: I'm very disappointed to find out that Rio is NOT pregnant! I had hoped to have just one more litter with with her before she retired, but she doesn't get along very well with the other girls, so I have decided to spay her and place her in a forever home. Are you interested? Rio is just under 2 years old and loves people... but would like to be an "only child", as she is not so fond of other cats, particularly other females. (If her new family was patient and would give her plently of time to get used to things, she might be okay with just one other pet.)
