I don't usually go much into our personal lives in the Moggyblog, but what happens to us affects the cats. On Oct. 15th, both my husband and I lost our jobs. The computer game project we were working on was shut down. This isn't uncommon in the game business, which tends to be rather volatile all in all. We're both actively looking for work, of course. In the meantime, we're at home with the cats.
The change in routine threw the cats off at first. Now I think they're delighted to have their body servants around full time. Zoe has become a total lap fungus, enormously content to spend hours in my lap while I'm at the computer.
Not so fortunately, both Opal and Pippin have developed infections in one eye. I had drops left over from Opal's last bout of eye infection, so I'm treating her. I need to take Pippin to the vet asap. What I have won't be enough for both of them. I'd like to know why they're having so many sudden eye problems, though.

Tosca is continuing to do well and though I haven't weighed her again, I can tell she's putting on weight. Lately, Zoe has taken to sleeping on the shelf next to Tosca, often supplanting Jetta to so do. They've been getting along without a problem, I'm relieved to say.
I received an email from a site called BellaLife Studios that has published a "10 Top 10 List for Cat Lovers". It's an ebook with ten categories about cats and list of the top ten sites in each category. They listed me in the top ten personal sites about cats. The categories are: cat artists, free stuff, health, humor, newsletters, on-line communities, "other stuff", personal sites, shopping and taking action.
The book is a quick and easy download, for sale on their site and they say that they donate a full 50% of sales (not profits) to cat rescues, shelters, charities and groups. They asked me to name the charity to which I'd like to contribute donations, which I've done. Please check out their site and see whether the ebook catches your interest.
