Despite my love of stories involving cats, I have never seen this story before today. Classic H.P. Lovecraft! The Cats of Ulthar - H.P. Lovecraft It is said that in Ulthar, which lies beyond the river Skai, no man may kill a cat; and this I can verily believe as I gaze upon him who sitteth

There is an article on library cats and a video at www.seattletimes.com Winnie

I saw a valentine "frpm the cat" in the store yesterday that says: Cover: If you'll be my Valentine... Inside: I might even come next time you call me. I get home and watch all 4 of the P-B Clowder respond to their names and wonder what this card is going on about. Name, sound and hand...

I apologize for reposting this article in full, but it requires you to register to read it if you choose to. When this story first broke, it broke my heart. It's a local story, and one reason why I don't trust law enforcement in my county. To read this makes it worse. But it could happen to...

(It should be an Eric Clapton song.) Persia has decided to start tapping me on the nose again. Early two nights ago I didn't go to bed 1AM. I just wasn't sleepy. When I did go to bed I was tossing and turning. I finally fell asleep About 5:00AM. Then suddenly I felt this soft little paw...

Little Boy likes to cuddle. He especially likes laying close to my face or across my neck where he can get kisses and hugs. He also likes to pat my face with his paws. Now, sometimes I have my hearing aids in, sometimes I don't. When a hearing aid is blocked, it gives out a high-pitched...

I did try the box with a t-shirt that smells like me, but woke up to find three ferals who were also comforted by the soft lining / familiar scent... I've told all the cats to let Bucky know we're worried, and get home now! Hugs and Purrs, Mark -- Proof of Sanity Forged Upon Request

Well, the joke is on me. My cat, who we got through an animal shelter, was originally named Butterscotch and we were told he was a she. Well we get "Butterscotch" home and boy is he-she a wild one. My husband decided that he-she was really a "he" and that we should change his name to RAMBO. The...

Emily paid her annual visit to the vet's today for a checkup and shots, and lived up to her good reputation. I've written about her checkups before, and things were no different this time. Just once she questioned being caged on the drive to the vet's office, but other than that she was a model of...

Album at http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o185/frankiennikki/Jan-Jun09/ Caliban laying on the laptop in the morning, when he wants his breakfast. Hmm, that tummy is starting to look a little fluffy again... And yet, he tries to convince me he is...

Celibacy can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed by circumstances. While attending a Marriage Weekend, Walter and his wife, Ann, listened to the instructor declare, 'It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other.' He then addressed...

Real life is fairly busy right now, although I am still checking in. My knee is all crapped out and I am in a brace for at least another month to six weeks. School has started however and I am moving to an apartment without stairs just a few doors down. Same floor plan and everything. I am...

Yup, we got snow. Once again the owners are blaming me for the end of their reasonably warm and snug world. The out was cold, white, and wet and I did nothing to fix it. Tanada and Pine Cone took turns sitting on my school book case alternately staring at the out and then at me. Merlin...

Herding cats... it can be done lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SmgLtg1Izw Jill

I will give her 10 days to improve. Trying to keep her going along is seeming impossible right now, I spend all my time trying but it's not working. We might be looking at RB fairly soon. But she's fooled us like this before so who knows. Tweed

Tigger is living the life of Riley right now. Anything she wants, she gets. Treats at 2AM, no problem. Unfortunately Tigger does not have any special food she likes other than her cat food. Fresh baked salmon, tuna, shrimp all get left on the floor, much to the delight of Tank. She won't eat...

Naughty and Kiki are now 11 months old, and my pair of nutball, hyperactive hellspawn have matured into *larger* nutball, hyperactive hellspawn. They've picked up a few new behaviours along the way. Naughty is now a shoulder-cat, and spends much of her time keeping my neck warm. My already-bad...

A little while ago all five cats were glued to the patio screen door. Princess and Furby were front row center, doing the crouch down butt wiggle. About the time I noticed, and realized that they were watching birdies stealing kibble from the outside food bowl, it happened. Princess couldn't hold...
