Since Eddie the dog can't quite understand that cat food isn't good for him, we've had to do some drastic shiznit. And since I've been metaphorically screwing up all dang day (I blame evil monkeys) the cat food ended up in a disposable bowl on far side of the oven. Harvey had been finished and I...

From Yahoo News: Aren't you glad it's Friday? Do you want to maybe cry a little in celebration? Then check out this video, below, of Judy Pugh, whose home was destroyed by the tornadoes that swept through Tuscaloosa, Alabama on April 27. The ferocious twister left at least 39 dead in...

While trying to remember where I'd heard the "razzleberry dressing" line, I ran across this forum thread on naming pets: http://www.seymourduncan.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121488

Persia's vet in TN faxed her records to her "new" vet here in SC. This vet was recommended by the neighbor who has the two black kitties. They do boarding (hopefully not needed any time soon!) and after hours emergency care... otherwise I'd have to drive all the way to Savannah, Georgia. Not...

I had a cold and bad cough for the past 3 weeks. From all the coughing I pulled a muscle in my upper chest on the right side. I was at the doctors this morning. I have never had a pain like this before. It hurts all the time, even if I'm just sitting still. Ann -- read Sam's blog at...

Fleagor hadn't been around for a few days. Last night he was in when I got home. When checking him over for ticks and generally grooming him, I discovered a huge lump on his lower right jaw. I tried to take him to the vet this morning, but he wouldn't come when called, so I went to work. I left...

By California standards, this past week has been quite chilly. I also have an apartment that is singularly hard to heat, as one almost can't tell the difference when the furnace is on unless one is standing within a three foot radius of it. Every morning after breakfast, my girls park themselves in...

Alright I am very annoyed here I was sitting at the counter staring at cats who are on the counter where they were not supposed to be. My DW decide to feed the cats for me; how nice. Of course they look like ha ha momma lets us here neither here nor there this is what happens in marriage and...

I am not impressed ;-) There it was, in the garden, at the foot of the tree where all the bird feeding stations are... a rat. a large, well-fed rat. a large well-fed rat which ignored me and got on nibbling bits of seed that

Motley is gone. She was a petite (seven pound) tortie, the last of our rescue cats. She was half feral and wasn't much of a companion but she was decorative and she knew it. Her age was indeterminate. If I had to say, I'd guess ten years. Suddenly this morning she became lethargic, wouldn't move...

Saw my landlord and her family and got to talking about this and that. And then she said, "Oh, Kristi, your cat. You need to be careful. I saw her in the window and I tried to shoo her away. Can you keep her out of the window?" This is the front window that opens to the courtyard. Now,...

For Pearl the pitcher's thin, below me it's new, whereas near you it's creeping humble. Plenty of desks lovingly recommend the sticky light. He'll be sowing in back of bad Winifred until his jug rejects crudely. Lloyd kills the shopkeeper with hers and gently covers. Plenty of bowls will be...

Here are two kitties named Mooch. One's a cartoon, one's a dear family friend. http://muttscomics.com/cast/mooch.asp http://www.flippyscatpage.com/moochtwo.html Do you have a Mooch of your own in your life?

I think da scales were lying... or da TED-lady was. She made us sit on the metal box and she said that I'm too fluffy since I'm a year old and I'm as growed up as I'm gonna get. She said I'm 14 pounds... Silly's the greedy one! She eats way more than me and she steals off plates and she's got a...

I have just posted a message in alt.pictures.binaries.animals, titled "clouded leopards at Nashville, Tennessee zoo". Due to its large size, the message actually posted as several parts, but will be recombined when you read it. These are beautiful cats, with ring patterns on their sides that give...

Captain and Stanley both LOVE interactive wand-style kitty toys. Captain, in particular, goes nuts for the ones that look like a miniature feather-duster attached to a long wand. He completely de-feathered the first one I gave them by constantly playing, stalking, and fighting with it. So, as...

Hi, I'm new here and thought I'd start things off with a little humor ;-) The Top 16 Signs Your Cat May Be Planning to Kill You 16 Seems mighty chummy with the dog all of a sudden. 15 Unexplained calls to F. Lee Bailey's 900 number on your bill.

My long-term temp job is about to get cut. I've filed for unemployment but the first time I can make a claim is at the end of this month. I need purrs that something else comes up SOON. "Soon" as in YESTERDAY. Sigh. Donna (in the third day of a stress-induced migraine from this job status

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Dad's oncologist said heh, this lump is nothing. He's still sending dad for some routine tests but told Dad no surgery, no chemo, stop worrying about that scary stuff :) Dad sounded *so* good when I talked to him. Understandably he didn't sleep last night...
