Yesterday was not a good day for me. I had to have Penny euthanized. She usually went out in the evening for an hour. Sat. night I had to call her back in and found her in the grass with the tip of her tongue out. She vomited a few times that night, my first thoughts were that she had gotten...

Sherry, your rant about your appliances attacking you has caused no end of trouble around my house. First Emily's alternator died. Admittedly at 17, Emily is an old girl, but she was game until you posted about your appliances. Then, one of the kids' gamer friends backed into our mailbox with...

Hi, guys! Happy holidays to you all! Our pretty tree sits on a low table, which is covered by a green cloth, then a decorated tree skirt. But what is that sticking out from under the green cloth? Can it be a tail? Or is it a paw? Or paws? The answer to all of the above is YES! I wish I...

The Yowlet was 4 months old last week. We survived!!!! He's outgrown newborn clothes 9at 2 months) and is now pretty much outgrown the 3-6 month old clothes as well. Everyone keeps mentioninghow small he is.... until they hold him themselves and see that in reality he's actually a *big* baby. Its...

I really, really don't need a fourth cat. Your faithful slave, Julie

A friend sent me this picture, which she got from a friend, who got it from a friend, etc. We don't know what kind of animal these are. Maybe porcupines? Possums? Hedgehogs? Bats sleeping inside anemone? Vegetable scrubbers? You decide. It's a pretty incredible photo...

I've been participating on this ng since 1999, and yet I don't feel that there is anyone here who likes me very much, or values my contributions. I don't know why that would be, though - I'm a genuine cat-lover, I respond to other people's posts, I have a good sense of humor, and I respect...

Hi all: A friend of mine has rescued a tiny stray kitten - only 3 or 4 weeks. She has three concerns: feeding, worming, and constipation. If any of you have any insight, I'd appreciate it! I'll also call the TED late tomorrow and see what he says. We are travelling and out of town until then. ...

Just in case someone is even slower on the uptake than I am, check out this Firefox theme. I just downloaded it and it looks so much nicer than the default. https://addons.mozilla.org/search.php?cat=30&app=firefox&appfilter=firefox -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and...

Today was a strange day at our house. We weren't quite sure if we were having a party or what. Meowmie gave us lots of yummies - poached chicky-bird and turkeybird, and lots of shrimpies. Stupid Caliban had never seen shrimpies before, and he didn't know you were supposed to eat them, so he threw...

I woke up very early this morning and the bed (waveless waterbed) was *really* shaking. Since I live on a fault line (the New Madrid) for a minute I was convinced we were having an earthquake. It took me a minute to realize it was Persia, engaged in a really vigorous grooming session!...

Kyla here, I subscribe to Flippy's mailing list and got this in my Outlook e-mail today, and felt the NEED to share it with you. ***here's what Flippy sent me*** Hi all,

As there appears to be no "cat talk" perhaps we can discuss the weather. Here in the Rockies, it is just like summer -- today. Don't know how long it will last. I heard one report about snow on the mountain tops. Best wishes to all. MLB

Got a wonderful surprise today!!! The foster paw of The Kitten came over and told me I could take him home today! Yeah! He's eating and drinking on his own, and using the litter box. The paw said that they kits rarely fed off mom anymore, anyhow. So he's home. He's so darn cute!!!!! The Moose and...

This morning we caught the mother cat. She is now in the cage with her kittens. They are now laying against their mother. The tiger kitten was purring when we first put the mother in with them. Last night DH was petting the kittens and this morning I was petting them. We think the mother was a pet...

Lenny and I were shopping for the necessities of life this afternoon. After stocking up on pudding, cheese, spinach and vodka, we found ourselves in the pet aisle. Standing in front of the cat toys. Our three adult cats don't seem to care that much for toys... they'd rather lounge on the cat...

In 2001 you wrote a beautiful story for Helen about the Shard of Helen's Heart that Schroedinger took with him to the Rainbow Bridge and followed with a Part II about Emma's Shard. It is as beautiful as the Rainbow Bridge story if ask my opinion (ok, I know you didn't ask) :) Every time one of our...
