Don’t be mislead by the masthead. This blog has little to do with cats. It’s more about waste management. Shit must be handled properly. If disposed of in a cavalier fashion, it can poison the water supply, or be stepped in and tracked across clean surfaces. Hence the litterpan, an unpleasant device which serves a very useful purpose.
If you’re here, it’s either a.) because you’re curious or b.) you want to be here. You may be wondering what is with the emailing why not post a link? Excellent question. Family has the web address for Claw~less & Ball~less because I gave it to them. I don’t regret sharing, but I need a secluded location to write from first person, from my person without confining myself with censorship. If you are family, and you have found this url, as I have not taken efforts to conceal it, I respectfully ask you not to return. I have no intentions of sullying your good name or telling the world about your insert embarrassing ethical dilemma here. Like you, I need a place where I can sit in peace and contemplate life.
Patches’ website will remain in tact for now. He is the wittier of the two of us, and he has plenty to say. He will continue to participate in Poetry Friday and woo you with alcohol induced bad poetry and his attempts at clever illustrations. As of this posting, neither blog has any clear goals or target audience. I suppose we will be surprised by the results together.
If you’re wondering how I got here, you’re not alone, I’ve asked myself the same question. I have a fear of failing, so it seemed easier to fail under the assumed identity of a mammal with a brain the size of a golf ball who licks his own testicles. It’s a lower elevation to fall from grace. I bumped into a few limitations trying to project my voice through my ball~less, though wonderfully affectionate house cat. So it is time to grow a spine and speak for myself.

Well hot damn. You know how i got here? I was looking at technorati, which i rarely do, and i noticed that a blog i had never heard of had linked to me. And i am a nosy person, so i followed the link.
I’m not sure if one CAN fail at blogging. I guess it depends upon your reasons for doing it.
Anyway (insert your real name here, which i will not do) congratulations. Can’t wait to gossip with you in person.

meno, damn it woman you’re early! I haven’t even posted the invitation on Patches’ site yet. I was waiting until the stylesheet and blog template had completely beaten me into submission. You probably have eyes in the back of your head too!
Maybe you’re right about failing…I set high expectations for myself then get bogged down in details that are often irrelevant.
Seeing your comment was like finding an Easter Egg. One moment I’m mumbling under my breath trying to decipher html/css, and the next I’m completely blown away because you found my page. How cool is that?

I came I saw I love.

Whew, what a wild ride I just went on to be able to leave you a comment. Now that I can, I want you to know that I am looking forward to hearing what you have to say, from your viewpoint. As the saying goes… ’shit happens’, and it will be nice to know that you will be dealing with it as it does.
As far as failing, just remember that you have friends in blogland who are not here to judge you…just to support you…even when you talk shit!

Woo-hoo! Congratulations. Love the polka dots. And you look more comfortable walking upright.
Wow. A private blog is so tempting, for all the same reasons you’ve mentioned.

Maggie, I’m looking forward to this : )
Lynn, sorry about the login hassle. I’m still trying to get all the dashboard preferences tweaked. I don’t know if you can deal with shit before it actually happens, but I guess that’s where worry factors into the equation. And thank
you!
nancy, thanks. It’s funny my lower back doesn’t get sore when I hold my shoulders back. I thought sharing with family was a good idea at the time, but there is just some crap I would rather not burden them with.

Congratulations…the site looks awesome. And I am so looking forward to learning all about waste management…it’s one of my most favorite topics!

Joan, glad you could make it! Some things shouldn’t be recycled

Hi Ms Chica. Hope you don’t mind that I followed you over here.
I too, have had regrets about family looking in on my blog, and when I specifically asked my mother not to, she said she wouldn’t and then did anyway. What a waste of time that conversation was. Now I think she still does, but is lying about it. It gives me a headache.
I hope you have better luck/ more obedient family.

De, I’m happy you found the trail here. To my knowledge, my husband is the only one who knows about the site, and I’ve respectfully asked him not to return. We’ll see… Everybody needs an opportunity and a safe place to vent. I ‘m glad you’ve returned to blogging. I enjoy your insight.
