| Liza,
Don't you think Pete should plan a trip to Minneapolis,
maybe when the weather warms up a bit?

 Oh
man did you make Liza grumpy. Don't you know how lonely
Liza gets when I am away? I usually have to do a great
deal of sucking up when I get back. Unless of course
I come back with treats. Liza wants to know what kind
of treats you have.

Dear Liza,
I'm thinking of writing a book. So far, my outline includes
29 chapters of a story involving Atmospheric and Oceanic
Science, South African sugar cane, Markov processes, a
long-ass car chase scene, a proxy war between the US and
France called the "French Islands Negotiation,"
and a Dutch-programmed computer virus that infects specific
recombinatoric DNA computer chips, all in the year 2041.
My question is: how long is this going to take? Also,
can I make a living this way?

 Liza
let out a little squeak but barely moved when I asked
her about your book. If anything, she wrapped up tighter.
I think if you want your book to do well, you should wrap
it up as well. Perhaps you could do lots of little books,
with pictures. I would think that something that you could
take into the bath tub that squeaks would broaden your
audience as well. Liza has little use for recombinatoric
anything, but she always digs a good squeaky toy. |
Dear Liza, I would
like to know how to gain weight. I'm 23 yrs old and
only weigh 83 pounds. I have tried everything and nothing
works. can you please help me any good advice?

 Liza
had little interest in getting out of her box to respond
to Jennifer's question. She's not usually concerned with
weight. She has gone up and down in weight but never seems
to be bothered by it. As long as she is healthy and active,
she's all set, and her Vet agrees. Maybe you should double
check with a doctor, and if they think you are healthy,
that is all that really matters. |
Liza, I don't think
I've been hit on in a really long time. What clues should
I be looking for if I think a guy might like me?

 Liza
was playing on the tarp in the kitchen (flooded basement
situation) at the time I asked her this question. Her
loud screaming meows seemed to indicate that she thinks
you should speak up and see how he reacts. Just be careful,
if he likes you, he might hook you up with a backscratch.
If he LIKES you, you might get some petting out of it.
Liza scored scratches. |
| On the ride
back from Christmas with my family, I asked Liza three
questions that Jeff had sent in (well as best as I remembered)
The following are the wondrous responses I received. |
Liza, why must I be
allergic to your species? Can anything be done to cure
this horrible affliction?

 Liza
was quite enamored with my Twizzlers as I asked her this
question. She's not allowed to have any since they would
make her sick. I gave her some cat treats and she was
quite happy with them. Maybe you could take a tip from
Liza, there are lots of good alternatives to keep you
occupied even if you can't play with cats. |
Liza, what can you
do to get rid of the constant hopeless feeling that
nothing will ever change and you will be stuck where
you are forever?

 Driving
along 81 makes Liza rather fussy. Once she gets home though
she's seems to forget all about the car and enjoys running,
napping and eating in her own little piece of the world.
The outside world isn't all that exciting to Liza, home
is what's important. Keeping that in mind might make the
hopeless feeling easier to deal with, maybe even go away.

Liza, why didn't i
actually see you when I visited Pete's house? are you
still alive, or are you like Morris the cat? Also, are
you the first Liza, or a replacement, like Lassie

 When
Liza rides in the car, she often falls asleep in weird
places. Here you can even see that she is falling asleep
sitting up. No doubt she was just sleeping in some spot
well hidden from you. Perhaps to protect you from her
all to allergy inducing fuzziness! |

Dear Liza,
I seem to be having trouble sleeping ... I mean I'm
awake at 5 AM, for crying out loud!! Since you have
developed napping into a fine art, please share some
of your expertise with me.
Gratefully yours,
Carly Jane

 I
heard Liza wandering around downstairs so I asked her
your question. You can't tell from the picture, but it's
pitch black. Nonetheless, Liza was off to do something
important and exciting to her. Maybe you can sleep better
if you know that when you wake up you have something important
and exciting things to do. Of course you have to pick
what is important and exciting for yourself. |
