My little grey tabby Cheeks loves to have her belly rubbed. She is the first cat I have ever had that likes this. It was not something she revealed to me right away when I adopted her in 2001 at age 2. She had been with us for about three months when one night during our nightly petfest when I was...

Catnipped was rushed to the emergency room on Thursday around noon. 10:30PM Thursday night they found out a portion of her intestine had died due to no circulation. By midnight she was being operated on and had two and a half feet of intestine removed. She has infections in her abdomen, blood...

I wish there were kitty service animals who could do things like this... Are there? Or are felines too independent to make good service animals? (though the Power of Purr is a pretty good service in and of itself) http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/10/29/canine.caller.ap/index.html Dog saves woman's...

I have a friend who has three cats, and while she was driving me to hospital the last time, I asked her whether hers liked catnip or not. She said two of them did, and one was absolutely mad about it. I told her that I'd bought Kitty & BF a catnip mouse (no interest) and then a catnip spray, which...

Pit2nya will be going in to Radio-Cats on Monday for radioactive iodine treatment for her hyperthyroid. We'll be driving her back home on Thursday. She will not be allowed in our bedroom for 2 weeks, but we can pet her, albeit wash our hands more. At least no 2 x per day pilling, a permanent...

Don't know if you folks know, but terrorists in Russia are keeping over 300 people as hostages in a school, a fair percentage of those children on their first day. Its been going on for 3 days now, and the terrorists still haven't allowed food into the site. Besides cursing these cowards with...

Yoda is at the vets right now having his eye sewn shut. They're going to medicate the eye, pull the third eyelid over the eye, and then the outer lid, and leave it that way for 2 weeks to heal. On one hand I'm really encouraged that someone seems to actually know what to do. We have been...

I used to go to Chinese movies when I lived in a big city that had a Chinatown area. Most of them were "chop-socky" types but every once in a while they'd show a modern Chinese romance flick (so-so) or something else, and there was one in the "something else" category that I'd go see every time it...

She's been barfing all day. Can't hold down any food. A couple of times she's puked mucous tinged with blood. I have not seen this happen before. Blood in the stool, yes, but not in the vomit. It's just pink, not red, so maybe not too serious. But still I am worried. If there's no...

He seemed fine yesterday but I found him collapsed in one of the sleeping-spots on the stairs this morning. He was clearly not just sleeping. We rushed him to the animal hospital and the vet said that he probably had a heart attack during the night. He wasn't in pain but he was, as she said, never...

I was telling my co-workers about the precious persian this morning and how I felt it was somehow fateful when I saw her when my supervisor walked in and said "My mom's 17 y.o. siamese died". I mentioned about this cat but not suggesting she tell her mom about it or anything (you know, it...

I was woke up to some bad news about Rumble's Blood work. His Glucose level is 437 instead of a norm of 170. He is diabetic. I am going to have to go in next week and learn how to give him insulin 2 times a day. I am going to definitely need some help from the group on how to deal with it. I...

I hate it when I have to stay awake till the watch is over. This one's on until 1:00 AM. The sirens in this town are not loud enough to wake me. I need to get a NOAA weather radio that can be set to sound alarm when a tornado warning is issued. Also need to cut a trap door in the floor so I can get...

I hope you have a great birthday tomorrow. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat.

X:no-archive I hope I did the above right. This is the first time I've ever tried it. Most of you will remember my birthday post, about the two kittens and the horrendous situation that occurred, and that I was only reasonably able to rescue one from the animal abusing family. The other night,...

Anyone using a Weazel Ball? A Weazel Ball is a baseball size motorized ball which travels across the floor powered by a AA battery. It comes with a tail but I removed that. My 14 1/2 pound cat seems to like it, as usual acting shy at first. I will give it a couple of weeks to a month and report...
