He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here. When he first came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/Garvin/ -- Hugs,

How to Drive in Phoenix 1. You must first learn to pronounce the city name, it is: "FEE-NICKS". 2. The morning rush hour is from 5:00 am to noon. The evening rush hour is from noon to 7:00 pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday morning. 3. The minimum acceptable speed on most freeways is 85...

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/17/theater/newsandfeatures/17cats.html September 17, 2005 Roll Over, 'Cats.' The Real Thing Is Here. By DINITIA SMITH The manager of the coffee shop in Midtown was sorry, but he could not let Yuri Kuklachev and his entourage come in; the New York City Department of...

Boy, has this been a week! I found out that someone else got the computer tech job that I had been REALLY looking forward to. Nancy called HR at her employer's home newspaper about a job she'd like to move to, and has still not gotten a call back (but she's still applying). I've been pulling...

My brother's elderly Siamese kitty Samantha has always been fond of sleeping, and it's not unusual for her to stay in bed for 12 hours at a time. But yesterday and today things hit a new peak. Yesterday Samantha spent all day sleeping on the front porch. This morning the county animal control guy...

My brain is so tired it's hard to think, but i think i'll let it operate a little more so I can vent. First of...

The other two, with minimum complaint, accept flea collars. Ding shook his off within minutes last season. Tonight, all I did was unroll the thing, as he was enjoying the lap scratching (and I was not enjoying grooming out the fleabits)...BOOM....struggle. He just wanted to get away, and clearly...

She vomited in the litter box on Sunday and hasn't eaten since then. I took her to the vet this morning after chasing her around the house for over half an hour. She got an antibiotic shot and 100cc of saline solution for dehydration. I took her home with a bottle of medicine to give her twice...

Dear Group I have to go the the hospital tomorrow, it's a follow up check after my ovarian ca op in May, I am to be followed up for 5 years. I was quite okay until today. Not scared at all about whatever. Now I am. Could I have a few purrs that they won't find anything weird and scary that I've...

Just thought I would pass on something that happened last night. Candles and cats together in a house probably aren't a good idea anyway, but I never had any problem. I was always careful to put them in a heavy votive holder and not to put them on the coffee tables where the cats jump. Anyway, I...

It's probably no major thing, but Brando has been having these little weird coughing fits the past couple of days. Took him to the vet today (last thing we needed in our financial situation, but what are ya gonna do?), and he was running a fever. He's on Baytril for 10 days, and furball meds for...

Can I please have some purrs for Mosey? We're taking him to TED in about an hour. Poor baby just isn't feeling good and we have alot of stress going on here, and I pray he's okay. His teeth seem to be doing okay, but he's just not feeling good. I'm worried about my cute little guy and we...

For several weeks she's been coming in, eating, sleeping, playing. My cats have accepted her into the pack. Her owner put a collar on her so I know she's not a stray. She's a nice cat, about the same age as Hondo. She's getting about the age to go into heat. I've started locking her out of the...

The folks I drive for are normally really good about drivers home for scheduled home time. They make a special point of doing so for Christmas. Right now, though, it's looking kind of iffy. I'm in Salt Lake City at the company terminal, on a load that delivers just south of Chicago on Tuesday. My...

I was running errands and decided to stop at the humane society and formalize our adoption of the boys. They were checking in a momma cat with 3 (or 4?) kittens, about 3 weeks old. Somebody dumped them at the pound, where they would've been euthanized, but the folks at the SPCA go there twice a...

Is there a rabies vaccination for cats that lasts longer than a year? I thought there was a 3 or 5 year vaccination. The local vet says no. This is for a feral cat that is really hard to catch on a yearly basis! Thanks!

Frank has been fighting, has gotten an abscess on his side/shoulder. I took him to T.E.D. this afternoon, just expecting him to clean it, give us antiobiotic and send us on our way. Instead, he wanted to sedate him to debride it more thoroughly and probably put a drain in it. So he stayed. I wish...

My mom is having a lot of trouble coping with the aftermath of Katrina. Sometimes it's comical - like when she tries to talk on her cell phone and disconnects 5 times during our conversation by accidentally hitting the "off" button (they still don't have land line phone service in Chalmette). But...

See if you can get out of the Crimson Room (or is it the rubber room, lol) I am still trying! http://www.fasco-csc.com/works/crimson/crimson_e.php -- Dogs may shed, but cats shred.
