Aggie is home and under her bed. She is PO'ed because they stole some of her fur from her right front leg but other than that she is doing well and is very calm. She is to eat breakfast and dinner only, nothing in between and to get one unit of insulin after each meal. Dr. Hernandez will see...

Aggie is gone but there is so much of her still here. Aggie Marble was dumped in my arms when she was a kitten because she was "a good pet." The people who had her didn't know she was a feral cat. She ran under our bed and stayed there for nine and a half years coming out at night for food and...

The little **** Chaos deigned to eat 3 (three) tiny bits of rib-eye, then looked at the other 7, sneezed on them, and walked away. I'm sipping my just-boiled Constant Comment thinking nasty words at her. Yesterday, I offered her some and she didn't /quite/ bury it... And if THAT wasn't bad enough...

More specifically, thy name is Pippin. Last night, around 8:45, I was finishing up the kitchen clean up, when Pippin starting meowing at me from across the room. I checked the kibble bowl- full. I asked him if he wanted out. He stared at me. I walked over to the sliding back door in the family...

We have a spayed, female, seven-year-old indoor cat, Schroeder, that has always had small episodes of apparent stress where she aggressively chases her tail, hissing and growling. In the past year, a number of life changes seem to have escalated Schroeder's behavior: We moved to a new home and had...

This is something I've had tacked to the wall for a few years; don't know where it originated but it's always been good for a chuckle. "God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones that I do, and the eyesight to tell the...

Dear Friends: I am very stuck!! I have a 2 year old cat that I have had since she was a kitten. I found her behind an automotive garage when she was three weeks. I took her to a vet and he allowed me to bottle feed her for 4 weeks. She is healthy and has all of her vaccinations. She is spayed...

I just posted a new album in Photobucket: http://tinyurl.com/yplcft or http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x140/tanadashoes/The%20latest%20pictures/?albumview=slideshow For you purists

I should have known not to look for Sammy or Archer - Ben is just too intimidated by authority figures. He did bring me my anniversary present early... it's a "Nook" (which I insist on "mistakenly" calling a nookie just to see the embarrassed smile on his face when he corrects me). It's pretty...

Kitties favorite things. A big long box (not too high) folded closed, long side, short side, long side, short side.. all folded shut with a middle gap. Shamrock discovered said gap and climbed inside the box with the popcorn packing. Bonnie, miss nosy, heard the scratching from inside. Made her...

I share my home with two male cats and my DH. Simba is the largest kitty and TOP CAT. Pepper is the smaller cat and most definitely not Top Cat. However, Pepper occasionally attempts to challenge the supremacy of Simba kitty. This never goes very well as Simba just beats pepper back in to...

I've been reading the stories here about how much trouble it is to eat around the cat - holding the sandwich with one hand and pushing the cat away with the other, etc... Nope, never happened to me. Rita just isn't interested in people food. Until last night. I opened up a can of sardines in...

Here in the USA all the cats are starting to shed. I'm finding vomited furballs all over the house. Some I only find after they've dried out. What fun!

Out of all the mousies Mischief has to play with, I would say her favorite is this one white one. You give her the white mouse and she be occupied for 10 minutes batting it, throwing it and thoroughly killing it. But, someone has to throw it...... Someone needs to throw it at an angle so it...

It's over 60 degrees F. I can see crocuses and daffodils from the window. Two black and white cats are sitting in the sunshine, the gentle breezes making their little whiskers quiver. ;) Sunday we begin Daylight Savings Time. We;ve made it through another winter, folks (in the Northern...

Reading posts of blooming spring flowers, I decided I wanted to see what a "crocus" was....googled it and was bombarded w/lots of crocus photos links. Some are butt-ugly, IMHO, but I did like the ones that looked like orchids, also ones that were ringers for tiger lilies. There are beautiful...

The other day, I was sitting in my recliner, watching TV or reading usenet or both, when this racket started up. Sounded like something being knocked off a counter. But it didn't quit like that would have, and I couldn't identify the noise, and it was getting louder. I got up and turned toward...

I was just making myself a sandwich. A delicious HAM sandwich. I'm hearing a meow every now and then, but i don't see any cat or feel anyone rubbing against me. I'm about finished with my sandwich when i hear a louder meow and suddenly out of the corner of my eye i spot a grey figure hunched...

I took the advice of whichever wise person suggested lidocaine. I bought the Hawaiian Tropics version because it had the highest percentage of that lovely active ingredient. It doesn't even smell bad. I'd expected to smell like horse linament. Too bad it says to only use it 3-4 times a day...
