Illinois Earthquake Overnight by
Jeanne Hedge
Did anyone else feel the earthquake in Illinois overnight? It happened
at 1:10 AM this morning, and was measured at 4.5, preliminary
epicenter about 8 miles northwest of Ottawa, Illinois (about 75 miles
west of Chicago). This is a fairly large earthquake for this part of
the country - we just...

Purrs for Dan and Crystal by
Yoj
My son Dan called me this evening, just as I was getting ready to eat my
dinner. All he said was Hi, but I could tell something was wrong. He
was worrying about his cat, Crystal. He said she seemed awfully weak.
He wasn't very specific about what was wrong, but he broke down and had
to say he'd...

Mike RB by
LOL
I wasn't ready to have to write this. Mike's too-low blood pressure
kept dropping; this afternoon he went into shock and went to the RB at
our TED's office. I can't even begin to think how much I'm going to
miss him.
Mike deserves more than this, but I just can't write more. Thank you
all for...

Cats in the Belfry by
Bev
Over three days B and C have developed a fixation with the ceiling in
the corner of the lounge. At first I thought they were looking at a
creepy crawly of some kind - and then I heard it, scuffle, scuffle,
munch, munch, rattle rattle. Rats!!!!!!! We have never had a rat in
our house and never...

A neat travel site by
EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)
Someone on my Europeaqn travel newsgroup posted the link to this.
Sounds like a really neat European vacation! (I didn't check to see how
much it cost, though.) Take a look at

TK Update 6/28 by
Melissa Houle
Hi everyone,
Well, I was holding baby TK this morning, and s/he has certainly grown
during this first week of life. When I brought TK home from the hospital,
s/he was so tiny s/he fit right into the palm of my hand, legs and tail and
all. At the age of one week, TK still fits in the palm of my...

getting in to 'Mischief' by
Mischief
I got this new warmup suit from my parents last Christmas but the
pants were way too long, so I never wore it. Tonight I finally
decided to hem the damn thing so I can use it. :)
So I'm sitting on the floor with the pants on the floor and I'm
starting to hem it with dark thread. By now Imp and...

Baby Kittens!! by
Sherry
Here's the pics of the little poly kitten I told you all about. He came in all
by himself, poor thing. He can't be much over 8 weeks old. I am going back to
get him in the morning. I have a pretty strong prospect who wants to look at
him Saturday. I'll find him a home. Yes. Really I will. Check...

Baby foal Patrick is dead by
Pat
We don't know why yet. We just found him laying in the pasture. He was not
acting sick in the least, and his body did not appear to have been injured
in any way. He was already stiff and cold when we found him, and he had a
small amount of white foam in one nostril. Gloria will be taking him...

Mubu and Angel: RB by
John Kimmel
The usual great cats.
Both distinguished by deep, resonant "meows", late at night when I might
go to the kitchen for a glass of water, or to the bathroom.
They were my girlfriend's cats. When I met them, they lived on top of
the refrigerator to avoid the 60 lb hyperactive puppy who...

We are off! by
Marina
Tomorrow morning I will put the cats in their Sherpa bag (sounds easy,
doesn't it?) and then we are off to the island. Luckily, there is room for
me in my brother's car, so I won't have to regale a busload of people with
Frank's rendering of the hit song, "Oh, Look What My Cruel Hoomin Did to...

W-A-Y-Y OT (but IMO important) - Farenheit 911 by
EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)
I am not a movie-goer – until yesterday, the last time I’d seen a film
in a theater was when the movie of Carl Sagan’s “Contact” was released.
Most things I really want to see will wait until I can rent the video
and watch it on a reasonably sized screen with the sound at an

Celeste and I have decided to start socializing cats and dogs down at our

humane where kids work to help socialize dogs for adoption and I found out
that if I volunteer too, I can also get time for these kids to help

Winter in June by
lrulan
I still can't quite wrap my mind around the fact that it's June in the USA
and hot as h*ll, and the catslaves in Australia and New Zealand are talking
about winter and coming cold weather. It's like when my husband tried to
explain to me that events that occurred in deep space millions of years...

General purrs for the bereaved by
Exocat
I'm afraid I've been out of action for a while following brief
hospitalisation to sort out a renegade root canal infection, so I'd
like to issue a belated mega-purr to those of the Group who've
recently been bereaved, or whose nearest & dearest have suffered a
loss.
There's plenty of empathy in...

Wooo? by
jmcquown
When I was a mere child (1 year old) I saw my father for the first time.
That sounds strange, doesn't it? He is a retired Colonel, USMC, and was
stationed in Okinawa when I was born. I'm told I screamed bloody murder the
first time I met him - I wasn't used to being around men and sure...
