Tricky raccoon hasn't been back

Mark Edwards — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:50:05 GMT

I keep watching for the little fellah, but either he has moved on, or
animal control has caught him. I refuse to think anything worse might
have happened to him. Or maybe he's just biding his time for awhile. I
don't know, but I'm trying to keep a video camera ready just in case.

Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

Butterscotch visits again

Mark Edwards — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:48:07 GMT

Last night, Butterscotch came over to visit and to get extra ear
skritches.

He wandered off towards the kitchen while I did computer stuff. In a
little while, I heard two cats fussing at each other - Little Boy on
the high counter, Butterscotch on the low counter.

When I hollered for them to cut it out, Butterscotch came into the
bedroom, chirping and mrowing, and basically telling off on all the
Bad Things Little Boy had said to him. I asked if he was ready to go
home, and he headed for the door.

Just as I unlocked the door and had my hand on the doorknob,
Butterscotch zoomed into the hallway, ate a quick mouthful of cat
food, and zoomed back to the door.

What a rotten cutie (grin)!

Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

MOGGY'S MARATHON TREK A MYSTERY
By Josh Bavas

Staff at Townsville's RSPCA are at a loss to explain how a two-year-old cat
made its way from Brisbane to the north Queensland city, more than 1,000
kilometres away.

Nine months ago, the cat's owners reported 'Timothy' the cat missing from
their Brisbane home but yesterday he was picked up as a stray in Townsville,
where his family originally adopted him from.

RSPCA spokeswoman Caroline Shemwell says his microchip let her know where he
had come from.

"We get three stray cats in and one of them had a microchip - we looked it
up," she said.

"Sure enough it was Timothy - we looked up the owners, called the owners and
surprisingly they're in Brisbane.

"He's nice and clean and healthy, he's got a nice weight on him so he's
quite calm and relaxed and in good spirits, good nick."

Ms Shemwell says she is not sure if the feline hitched a lift or walked the
whole way to Townsville.

"It is a good place after all - I'd want to come back here too," she said.

Timothy will be flown back to his owners in Brisbane in the next couple of
days.

Caboodle Ranch stamps

Mishi[_2_] — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:32:45 GMT

I just had to check out the Caboodle shop on Zazzle, and they have US
postage stamps! A bit expensive, but they are cute. Here is a link to
their Christmas stamps:

They also have regular stamps, which have Craigs 'caricature' on them.

Hummmm, maybe I should get some for the RPCA card list? Maybe if I start
now, I can have them done by christmas!

evil cat slave

Matthew[_3_] — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:22:31 GMT

Well I am waiting for revenge from Jammer. I know it will be coming
sometime in the middle of the night.

Let me explain why I am the evil cat slave. This morning I came back
from the car service run. I was out from 9:30pm till about 4 AM. Mom made
sure the cats were feed around their usual time. I came home very tired and
run down since I can't have any caffeine with this pre opt diet. I was meet
as usual by Jammer and Rumble greeted me in his usual way; wait till I came
to him to pet him. The girls could care less about me unless it is feeding
time or they want a snack.

Well I did my nightly routine and hit the sack about 7am this morning
Jammer would not leave me alone. He wanted a snack and wanted it now. I
told him multiple times NO stop and look you #$#Q@#%$Q@#. Their feeding
time is not for hours. Well he would not leave me alone this is even after
his usual loving. Well I ignore him since I was dog tired. He decides to
do his usual ignore me well watch this he got up and put his claws into a
poster. Well I am used to this and have replaced that poster with a sealed
one so his little tactics won't work BUT OH WAIT I GOT HIM GOOD.

When he jumped down the covers came on top of him and Man did I love on him
till he was telling me to back off. I let him out of the covers grabbed
him in a kiss a thon and marking him they way I give him a good old human
scent marking. Oh man I think he was not a happy camper. When I let him
go He read me the riot act and sulk away. Since than I have said jammer in
a loving manner and all he does is look at me, turns around and goes back to
sleep or walks away.

I know he will get me good

Pics and a vid from the island

Marina — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:21:53 GMT

Pictures from the island this summer. If you want the captions to make
sense, start looking at the pictures from the last page. It's mostly Mir
and Caliban, with they're 'friends' Linus, Ronja, Kasper and, for a
while, Emil (my niece had to take him back to town when he fell ill).

http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o...Island%202010/

One of my little films from the island. It's mostly of Caliban, rolling
about on the warm cliffs, doing his signature one-back-paw kick, and
practicing the cello with a very white handle.

Boyfriend will have a surprise

Christina Websell[_2_] — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:22:58 GMT

I've bought him some treatie things, tuna strips, chicken n 6 packets of
nice dried things that are supposed to appeal to cats.
I doubt he will consider them but I will try and see what he thinks.
He is either upstairs sleeping on his duvet atm or out looking at rats, so I
cannot test them yet.

Awesome breakthough

cshenk — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:18:33 GMT

Some of you may have never had a true semi or full feral cat or may define
then different from what I define them as.

One thing known is it takes them *lots of time*. Can be years depending on
how wild they were.

Daisy-chan just turned lap kitty. She's been standing in my lap for 6
months. Now, she just laid down and sucked up for petting. It as a short
session as she wasnt comfortable to do it for long then jumped off for a lay
on the floor tummy scritch of short duration.

Smiles! I was typoing to another then said I had to go. This was why!

Daisy came to us in 2008 and is in her forever home after a rather hard
life. Please rejoice with us both that she can finally enjoy the simple
pleasure for short bits of laying down in a 2foots lap without fear.

GLORIOUS! Forgive my SHOUTING!
