She has a plush little hedgehog toy with a velcro tummy for catnip. After a play session with the fishing wand toy, I replenished the little hedgehog with catnip. Oooh! https://i.postimg.cc/FzjN62Rv/catnip1.jpg then... https://i.postimg.cc/Nfq1rmv2/catnip2.jpg

A "Peeper". That's what they call the small tree frogs that live around here. They're tiny but make a huge racket. Buffy alerted me to the fact that there was one climbing up the window. I snapped a pic. :) https://i.postimg.cc/KYrdhZgW/tinytreefrog.jpg Peepers are small frogs. This one is...

So I've been away for a few weeks, visiting family in the UK as my Dad's been very ill. I left here pretty suddenly, got a phone call at 6:30am, was lucky to be able to get the cats into a good boarding place, and was on the plane by 6:30pm. Thankfully Dad's out of hospital now although things...

For those who follow both RPCA and RPCC, the following was just posted on RPCC: Dear kitties and goggies, once again the Sekrit Santa site is behind schedule. In order to avoid further delays, I'd like to ask that you email your signup information to me while I work on getting the code...

It finally cooled off down here in South Carolina. I turned off the air conditioner yesterday and didn't feel at all uncomfortable. The humidity is way down. Yay! I like a nice chilly room to sleep in. I do run the ceiling fan year round to have air circulating. In this naturally cooler...

I don't post on here very often, but wanted those of you not on FB to hear this from me: Weeble is 16. Has his annual cold, but for the first time I am very worried over it. He's not wanting to eat, losing weight. We are getting several syringes of puree gooshy food into him a day (along with...

Way back when, the Yahoo group "catslaves" was born as a place for some of the off-topic banter amongst RPCA members and access to each other via email if Usenet went down. It hasn't had a single post in many many months, and Yahoo is closing groups down. Christopher Havlicek mentioned archiving...

Happy Thanksgivingm everybody! We hope that yours is comfortable, warm, and healthy. Dan and Nancy Sammy Redcat, Ranger Greycat, Francesca the Fierce, Benni the Tiny, Starr da Dogg, Fred Garagecat, Sarge, and Lucky.

In case any of you didn't hear, the internet senstation Lil Bub (http://lilbub.com/) passed away Dec 1.

Since Yahoo Groups is basically dieing in 2 days I looked through all of the private groups I'm in. I saw that I had not yet downloaded Felinations. Unfortunately my download script refused to do the download. However, there are only 4 files present, so I manually downloaded them. If anyone...

Actually Smokey is selfish, but what do you expect from a Kat. Grumpy old bill just had a knee replacement on Monday, which means I can't do some of Smokey's favourite things, snuggling on the floor, bathing on the floor, etc.. I've tried to tell her that dad hurt his knee and he can't bend...

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/12/how-good-are-you-reading-your-cat-s-facial-expressions There were eight pictures, I got seven right, one in the middle I accidently clicked on next-picture without selecting a guess. oops

I can't have any sort of plant-like things in my house, otherwise Buffy tries to eat them. Well, I found a (new in the wrapper) scented Christmas candle in the hall closet. I guess it belonged to my mother. I'm not a candle person by any means. It had a decoration of fake holly with fake...

She's got such a pretty face. And those eyes. :) https://i.postimg.cc/DfRdmRg5/buffy2020.jpg She woke me up this morning purring in my ear. Hey, that tickles! It does make me smile. :) Jill

I've already announced this in RPCC and on Usenet, but those of you who don't read there won't have heard yet. We have added another kitty to our clowder. When we first moved in to our house in Kansas City we noticed a bunch of cats in the area. We started setting out food for them, and when...

I love this series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWA2S8HmTkA Jill

Just got an update on Marina - she had a multi-organ transplant on Sunday, I believe a pancreas and kidney transplant. Her niece says she is awake, and doing ok. Still in ICU for a couple more days. Major purrs going out to her!

A call from a woman who is a member of the Dataw Island Feline Foundation. There is a colony of feral cats where I live and apparently people keep track of the adoptions. I adopted Buffy after her owner died. But before that, Buffy was one of those who was part of the TNR program. Her owner...
