Every year, I promise myself that, like the car registration, and the Christmas Shopping, I'll get the Christmas Cards done early to avoid the stress at crunch time. Yesterday, I finsihed all the Christmas shopping I could (one gift to go that I can't get any other time besides Xmas eve wheter i...

I can't do our trip justice tonight because it is late and I'm getting sleepy. But I thought I'd post a day at a time to share with you. I'll try to post pictures within 24 hours of each installment so you can see what we were up to. We arrived in Sydney after 25 hours of travel time - the last 14...

Among my three cats there are various degrees of ownership. There is Tony who could not exist without me - but it goes beyond ownership. There is a deep and undying love there that cannot be denied. He will sell me out for catnip, but come bedtime (heck, any other time besides catnip time) and...

Make a chicken pot pie. Ooooh! Chicken! Persia was winding around my legs as I put it together and she normally doesn't do that. But it was like a magnet... oooh, mommy! It's da CHIK-EN! Thankfully, she doesn't jump on the kitchen counters or I'd have had to thwack her with a spoon!...

I swear this cat has more control over her personal mass than any other cat I've ever known. Her preferred sleeping spot is on my side - whichever one is up. She isn't really a big thing and she makes herself fit just perfectly so I don't even notice her while I sleep. But woe to me when I wake...

As Djoser gets older he is getting more territorial and possessive. Even though he gets along well with Robin, he thinks Robin's territory is Jeff's room. And Sheba belongs in the kitchen/dining/office room. She has taken to sleeping in my chair at night; but often sneaks onto the bed beside my...

Now, Jack is definitely a wild, woolly hoolikitten. And he is apparently very happy with his recent adult kitty teeth. We were letting he and Kate run around the apartment last night. We had just gotten our tree for the season up, but so far, they're leaving it alone. I was walking downstairs...

As I had written, my mom's cat with the sore on her right hind leg developed diarrhea last Thursday. We thought it might be caused switching her from Purina Pro Plan Chicken and Rice to Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach due to a persistent sore on her right hind leg. She's back on Chicken...

Anyone who hasn't received an email card of my lovely Persia, and who would like to, please send me an email. My address is not munged. Jill

Sammy has trained me so well! When I sit on the commode with the door open (when I'm home alone or it's just Ben and me), Sammy runs behind the open door and I have to play pawsy with her by taking the hand towel off the sink and wiggling it along the floor so she can stick her paw under the crack...

Thank you for taking such good care of Little Boy (and other kitties), Polonca and Soncek Mark Edwards wrote: Little Boy has started displaying his personality, and it's pure hoolicat. He is somewhere around two years old, judging by his face, so he's still very near his kittenhood....

The stories in Yowie's White Christmas thread made me think that surely we have some interesting holiday stories we can share and perhaps some even involve cats. I'll begin with a story that I think my brother would rather we all forget. We lived on a cul-de-sac and the house across the street...

.... And I'm really nervous about change like this. I've worked for this company since 1996. We don't know what will happen with our stocks -- we are employee owned. We don't know if we'll all of a sudden become "new" employees and lose our seniority. I'm especially nervous about the retirement. I...

As I write this, my beloved big wonderful former feral baby, Brando, is at the vet's. He had some blood in his urine, and terrible diarrhea over 24 hours, so we took him into the vet yesterday. They wanted to keep him overnight to get a urine sample. I called them today, and they aren't sure...

I went for a walk this morning here on the farm, and suddenly there were so many birds that the sky was nearly black! The birds were flying in huge figure-eight patterns for a while when I noticed them. Must have been at least 5,000 of them... The figure-eights were longer than a football...

I like sitting on top of da big white box in da kitchen where I can soopervise meowmy while she's kooking. But, it's an awfully big jump from da dining room table, and Meowmy duzn't want me on da stove which is rite next to da big white box. So I either klimb Meomy, or get on da kichin counter...

May I Go? May I go now? Do you think the time is right? May I say good-bye to pain filled days and endless lonely nights? I've lived my life and done my best, an example tried to be. So can I take that step beyond
