Sorry to do this again, and ask for purrs for me, but please could I have some purrs and good luck thoughts? Things are pretty tough at the moment, and whilst I *hope* and *believe* that they are due to resolve themselves in the next 2 weeks, I am feeling pretty sick, stressed and depressed about...

Please could Milo have some RB purrs as she makes her journey today? Milo owns my 86 year old next door neighbour, Mary, and today, because she has cancer of the kidneys and her quality of life has deteriorated so much, Mary has had to make the decision to let her go to Rainbow Bridge. You may...

Haven't been around for a while as I've been pretty sick with flu for the last couple of weeks, so many purrs to those who need them. The Miles felines are in fine fettle, apart from a minor incident yesterday.... I was cooking some mince as I was making lasagne. As a treat. I called all the cats...

Hi guys, I've just spoken to Pam Shirk as of 22:30 GMT, and she seems in good spirits. She has been downgraded into the Stepdown unit (whatever that is) which suggests that they are getting things under control. She's got no idea how long it will take to get her better. She's asked me to pass on...

Royal Canin are recalling some pet foods. It seems that Rice protien used in some of the foods is contaminated. http://www.royalcanin.us/ Helen M

I've just had a very special first ferret-experience.... I was washing up my dishes by hand. Miss Lily Whiskers likes to supervise by sitting on the windowsill by the sink and playing with the soap bubbles. All of a sudden, out of no-where, I had a pair of ferrets helping me. Gertie and Barney had...

Heads up folks - Problems with Supermarket Petfoods. This was forwarded to me from another list. The link to the AP story is given below. Cats & dogs have died after eating store-brand food from Wal-Mart, Safeway, and some other places. Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/2v2jfj

Hi folks, We've had a major internet crash in the Miles household with my broadband internet provider, so I have had to scrounge a computer to post at the school where I am doing my teacher training. :o( Hopefully I should be back online next week. Barney ferret has settled well with Gertie and...

You may remember that Pandora hurt herself quite badly in March? Well, a brief update, Pandora visited a Feline orthopeadic specialist today as she started having problems with severe lameness in both hind legs on Wednesday. From his assessment and X-rays, it seems that she has congenital Medial...

Today was such a beautiful day, I left the cat flap open for the kids when I went out this morning so that they could go in the garden during the day. When I got home, all five cats were crashed out on the sofa. I went into the garden, and started speaking to my neighbours over the fence. They are...

For the last few weeks, I've been trying to identify where the smell of cat pee is coming from in my living room. Eventually I found out today. Someone has been peeing behind the sofa. I have my suspicions who it might be, because I caught Cleo middening in the kitchen so it looks like another vet...

Those of us who have animal sites, this would be a very good link to add. It is very sad, but not in any way gory. It focuses on shelter euthanaisia through lack of spaying and neutering and is very well done. http://www.brightlion.com/inhope.aspx This short film does have a serious tissue...

I have just had the most *INSANE* 1/2 hour. I've just been trying to catch the local thug tom who came in through my cat flap. I found him in the bread bin of all places, and I don't know who was more shocked to see the other, me or him. He predictably freaked out and proceeded to trash the kitchen...

I've started using a great little programme that detects cats using the keyboard of your PC and helps prevent lost work. http://www.bitboost.com/pawsense/ I recommend it! Helen M

Pam, Please could you email me? I've had an idea..... leopardusweidii - at - yahoo.co.uk Helen M

Please folks, would it be possible to keep the purrs coming to the Miles household? They seem to be working slowly. :o) I'm in the process of sorting out the one problem, and am speaking to the person who can resolve it for me on Wednesday (paws crossed) and now all I need are serious financial...

Have we got any Calgary or Edmonton catslaves here? Can you wave and say hi please as I need to pick your brains.... Ta muchly Helen M
