All of you people who have migrated to DW: when I see that tag below your post that invites people to comment on DW using OpenID, is that your precise and specific wish? Because I have been not commenting on entries since I took that to be a choice of the poster, and it seems like it's a default line that crops up when people crosspost.

I've tried using OpenID once, but didn't manage to find a way to do it, and although I do have an invite code for DW, I haven't yet activated my account. So... if you really do not want people to comment on LJ, say so, but if it's ok for you to have comments coming in from both sites, you might want to fix that. It seems it's a bug, and there is a fix somewhere.

Ok, is it just me, or is meditation really boring? Am I doing it wrong? Well, I have only done a body scan meditation so far, but boys, I really can't see doing that every day.

As for the cats: as I think I've mentioned, I have volunteered as a foster cat mom with the Mayhew Animal Home.

Mostly this is because I, er, visit their site often for my cat and dog fix, and noticed this appeal:

Urgent appeal for help: Foster carers needed

Now that summer is in full swing, The Mayhew facilities are inundated with kittens. Our Cattery is currently housing several mothers with full litters, who have been brought in unwanted, or reported by members of the public, after they have given birth in their home or garden.

Our cattery is full and we have had to stop taking any more cats in and there are still so many in need.

We desperately need foster carers to help us with caring for our cats and kittens on a temporary basis. We are appealing for anyone who spends the majority of the day at home to consider fostering one of our little feral kittens and help their confidence grow in a home environment.

For more information about how you can help, call Lucy Edwards on 0208 968 2350 or email catfostering@mayhewanimalhome.org. You will be helping The Mayhew out immensely as this will give us space in our cattery to help out other felines in need.


I am just mentioning this because, well, because of the density of people under the paw in my friendlist, basically. Should you wish to give a hand, you'd be doing a good turn and have kittens around the house in the bargain.
