Another of these awful stories has unfolded, right in my back yard. Literally in my neighborhood, less than ten blocks away from me. I don't know all the details, but an eight-month-old's skull was penetrated by a bite from the family dog, a Doberman, and died as a result. I'm not going to...

Hi the I caught poor kitty this afternoon. He'd had two cans of cat food in rapid succession and I put the trap by the hole under my porch where I'd been feeding him. He went for the tuna and the trap snapped shut. He was cold and desperate I think. Moved quite slowly the last time I...

Hi the I phoned in to check on his progress and all I got was that he'd had his vaccinations but hadn't had his medical checkup yet. They wait until the vaccinations have had time to take effect before putting him up for adoption - I suspect that today or tomorrow he will have his...

Our crew gets wet food twice a day, morning and evening, about 12 hours appart. The automatic kibble feeder also feeds twice a day, roughly an hour after the wet food is served. On the weekends the cats tend to eat less than normal, don't know why. There's always lots of leftover wet food that...

It has been snowing here over night, when Baggy went out he was zooming about in the snow and pouncing. He reminded me more of a puppy playing in the snow. By the time I got the camcorder he'd decided he'd had enough and came in, I did get a good laugh though. I'm almost certain Shadow spent...

Two more cards arrived today, thanks to Lorraine and Ginger-lyn. It is nice to see so many owners. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk

Since my dad passed away, Lucy has reassesed her place in the world. She now allows my stepmother to pet her and pick her up, but usually only when nobody else is around to see her being affectionate. Good girl, Lucy! She was NOT interested in the glitter ball or the catnip I brought, although...

My next foster cat was supposed to be Phoenix, who some horrible person had rubber bands put on one of his front legs and he had to spend a lot of time in the vet hospital as a result. It turns out that Phoenix needed more care than I could give him (working full time during the day) and one of...

It's hard to believe another year is drawing to a close. You all have been a constant for me, I do read just about every day. Many purrs for the grieving hearts, and welcome to all the new furries that are being adopted. As for my two owners, Pippin turned 10 a few weeks ago. He has been staying...

I'm back home after spending x-mas down in Mexico with my parents, siblings and (what seems like tons) of nephews and nieces. It was unusually warm down there, everybody is worried about climate change. Back home the kids were a bit mischievous when Tom went down to Houston to spend some time...

Hello catfolks, we hope you and your furry friends had a bright and thougtful christmas and you can look forward to the oncoming change of the year with a serene mind. After our Blacky crossed the bridge in October my wife and I agreed to get a new mate for our lonely Merlin. We are home until...

My husband gave me a print that I had admired at the cat show this past October. I thought some of you would like the style so I'll share the artists website. This link should take you directly to the print that I have, named Christopher Columbus. She has three albums of cats in her main...

Hi the Not too much to report. The cat came again last night, I'm going to call it a "he", and ate some food. There was some cat hair on the blanket in the cat carrier, though it may have been residual hair from the boys, I don't know. I got a trap from the Humane Society, the last one...

Have nearly got the Christmas shopping done, but I'm stuck for a gift for my mother. I thought perhaps a computer game. So, can anyone think of a game that has lots of problem solving, fairly simple (if any) hand-eye coordination parts, and has repeatable playability. My mother, like many of...

They are both eating and using the litterbox so I am relieved of my main concern. I guess they are getting a _little_ more relaxed with me around but there is a way to go. At this point since they eat and "go" I don't mind. To be honest considering their altenative I would be ok if they...

I am beginning to have serious doubts as to whether I even get mattress space anymore. They used to be polite about the bed and gave me what I needed if I gave them what they needed. Then the temperature dropped to single digits (above and below 0 degrees F - -18 degrees give or take some...

My best pal Zack went to the bridge way back in March so what is going on here?? http://www.flickr.com/photos/22213539@N03/sets/72157603557086286/

awk, Fil. My email to your email addy came back as undeliverable. My email is if you want to send me a message. Thanks! Lily & her mama, Lydia -- Irulan from the stars we come

I have just been to the pet store to buy some enzyme spray as someone (probably HRFL) has been spraying in the lounge again. I *planned* to pay £3.99 for the bottle of enzyme cleaner, buy nothing else, and leave with my money in my wallet. However, I made the mistake of taking Cara with me to the...

My Bobby died about 8:30 am - the vet said he survived the night, but when they took him out of his cage to do some checking, he arrested, and they couldn't revive him. :'( This is the 4th cat I have lost this year, and all young. Katie was the oldest at 7, the rest 5 or under. The vet is...
