478.0. "Do You Dream About Your Cats?" by JULIET::CANTONI_MI (Don't you cryyyieeyyy tonite...) Fri Jan 15 1993 09:30

    Well, today is my last day with Digital, and I just know I'm going to
    be in tears several times before it's over.  All the people from the
    two offices I supported over the past year pitched in and bought me a
    cat tree!  It has one platform and one of those square cubbyholes on
    top.  They also sent one of those round, carpeted cubbyhole things
    (what are these things called?!).  It was so sweet, I got misty-eyed.
    
    Anyway,  I just wanted to say farewell one last time.  As my parting
    gift to you all, I'd like to share a dream that I had recently, and
    perhaps get a discussion going that's not about
    "something's-wrong-with-my-cat".  So, do you dream about your cats, and
    have you had any funny ones lately?
    
    I had this dream in the morning just before I woke up.  I was holding 
    Nicky and flying (without benefit of an airplane) over the Florida Keys 
    coast.  Nicky wanted to get down, so I flew down to the water which was 
    crystal clear and had dark brown coral patches on the sandy bottom.  
    There were lots of people and dolphins swimming around.  I put Nic down 
    in the water thinking he wasn't going to like it, but he just started 
    swimming around.  When he got close to shore (withing a yard), though, he 
    stopped swimming and went down to the sandy bottom.  The water was just 
    over his head and he was just standing on the bottom sniffing around like 
    cats do.  I was worried that he'd drown so I kept lifting him back up to 
    the surface.  There were no waves or anything.  Then we walked up onto the 
    beach and there was this casual beach party happening, and my dad was
    there.  While I was talking to him, we all went over to a picnic table
    and sat down.  Then Nic and I went back out to the ocean.  And that's
    when I woke up.  It was sooo weird, but also very tranquil.

    Michele...we will miss you terribly and please stay in touch via
    the offline newsletter and keep us posted on your babies!!  And
    if your ever on the East Coast please give me a call and I 
    will coordinate a get-together!!! That's a promise!!!
    
    Well this isn't actually a dream...but it did happen last summer
    while I was sleeping.  One night I just happened to wake up and
    noticed this kitty that was sitting on the roof of my car peering
    into my bedroom window.  As I was rubbing my eyes to try and vocus
    I noticed this cat was a very big gray/white kitty.  I kept rubbing
    my eyes saying "god that looks like Tamba"!  Tamba had passed away the 
    fall before!
    
    I was a bit nervous...so I closed my eyes...and opened them again...
    and kitty was still there.   I must have done this about 10 times...
    but the funny part was I was so nervous I couldn't get up to
    take a better look.    Well about 10 minutes later....kitty walked
    off the car and disappeared which at that time I had enough
    courage to go look out the window.  There were no signs of kitty!!
    
    I think back now..and could kick myself in the butt for not
    having the courage to get out of bed...because I truly believe
    it was Tamba coming back to say "hey...I'm still here watching
    over the house".

478.2Flight of the Bumble BeaPROXY::HUTCHESONthe revolution will not be televisedFri Jan 15 1993 12:0115
It is so distressing to have so many good people leaving Feline.
This, on top of the devastation to my group.

In any event...

As you may know, the kitty of *my* dreams is named Bumble Bea.
I have had at least two dreams in which I had a pet bee - the
yellow and black striped variety that stings. I don't remember
specifics about the dreams, except that in one my pet bee stayed
in a tiny matchbox type thing.

This reminds me of an idea I had for a note. Stay tuned!

478.3Bandit and Nutmeg...the dream.BSS::VANFLEETRepeal #2Fri Jan 15 1993 12:0114
    I remember a dream I had about two of my cats back in 1973,  I had a
    big bully of black and white alley-cat named Bandit and a sweet little
    miniature tortoise-shell named Nutmeg.  Bandit was constantly
    terrorizing Nutmeg.  If she tried to eat when he wanted to eat he'd wap
    her with one of his big paws and she'd go sliding across the linoleum
    on the kitchen floor, more often than not whacking into the wall before
    she could stop.  One night I dreamt that Bandit pulled one of these
    moves on Nutmeg and she politely padded back to him with her tail in
    the air and daintily gave him about 20 forehand/backhand slaps across
    the chops.
    
    I woke up laughing.  :-)

        Goodbye, Michelle.  Lucky me to live nearby so I'll still see
        you at the west coast gatherings.  (What a great goodbye
        present, how did they know you liked cats :-)
