Well, I would love to get a dog or a cat when I move away from my parents' house at the end of the month. My big fear is this; because I am on a disability income, and have no insurance coverage for prescription drugs (thank you , health insurance industry) I am afraid that if the doggie or kitty got sick, I could not pay for the vet bills.
So, I don't know if it would be right to have an animal. I am concerned about being able to pay for my *own* bills. Will have to see how things work out before I get myself a furry companion.
KJ, That was my first idea (which of course, i think is brilliant) However, my genius husband thinks its too obvious! He's such an intellectual snob! I may call them that anyway! It's not like theyll answer unless they feel like it anyway, they're cats!

Oh, well, if he's gonna be like *that*, name them Proust and Neitzche (sp--sorry, brain fog!)
Just don't call 'em late for dinner.

As a cat lover, and one who none too recently had NINE, I can offer some suggestions. We named ours Shadow (grey), Rain (she loved it :)), Thunder (her brother), Lucky (got bit by a snake as a kitten and BARELY survived), Mokey (short for smoky), Winston (he tried to eat cigarettes at his "former" home), Patches (a calico), Spanky (little and orange), and Miss Tickles (her previous owner named her mystical, but we called her Miss T. and then...). Anyway, my experience is that if you give them a few days, they name themselves. Watch any peculiar habits and sounds. It's kinda like giving Indian names, if the shoe fits wear it! Oh, we don't have any cats now, because we had to move out of the city and our new home won't allow them, but they're happy on the farm!
I noticed that the person who wrote this note mentioned being on disability.... i am new to this list group, and am not sure who to address this to, but...!!!!
i have been severely ill with CFIDS for almost 4 years. i am bedridden 90% of the time, so i had to move back in with my family. My question is HAS ANYONE GOTTEN HELP WITH DISABILITY? i keep being turned down and told i am "just depressed and occasionally tired, and should go get a job" ::sigh:: can anyone advise???? thanks and blessings to all ~~~~Amy~~~~
My Himalayan isn't white/gray - he's a chocolate point, so he's a pale cream with chocolate brown tail, legs, ears, and face "mask". He's a wonderful cat, but be prepared for that long fur to mat like crazy. We brush almost daily (he hates it), and he gets a bath (by a professional groomer) about every 6 months to get rid of the fine dander. When I got him he was 2YO and so matted I had to have him shaved.
In all, I have (now) three cats - the Himalayan and two Siamese-mix short-haired males. I've named them for poets (Rilke), opera characters (Tamino from Mozart's The Magic Flute) and - in the past - for mythological figures. I generally wait to name them until I've had them about a week so I get some idea of their personality.
Hope you enjoy them - I know life would be really 2D without mine!

Hi Amy!
I've been on disability for about a year now. I was denied twice and ended up hiring someone to help me. You can hire a lawyer who specializes in disability cases or, you can do what I did, and go thru a company that specilizes in the same. They will usually take your case on a contingency basis - meaning, they only take a percentage if they actually 'win' your case. Otherwise, there should be no charge to you.
If you want to tell me where you are, the company that represented me might have an office there and you could get in touch with them if you so desire. Or, ask around and maybe someone you or your parents know can point you in the right direction.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask:-) Take care and feel better.
Lynn

Our kitties names are Sushi and Tsing Tau. They were named when we got them from a family who obviously liked sushi and Japanese beer! Beth Beth Clark The "Write" Way Professional writing services Member of the National Writers Union
