First time I've encountered this with Buffy. I don't know what got into her last night. We were asleep. She was on the bed next to me. At around 1AM she started meowing. I immediately woke up and asked, "What's wrong, girl?" I gave her some scritches and she settled down again. No sooner...

I have discovered that putting someone in KF does no good, they just keep showing on other posts of people I read. I just wish we could drop some of the stuff and move on back to our "family" type caring. Yeah, I know old lady wants harmony and life isn't like that.

If anyone is interested, there is a very good video that has just been posted of Fritz "The Brave" having an asthma attack. I didn't know the symptoms of asthma when Sam first presented. After about 1 1/2 weeks of his coughing I took him to the vet and my description was "that he looked like he...

Hi, I am Syl. I am a B/W kept inside the little condo of my Mom and her family's. She adores me to the death and often gets too much and I run away. It got to be obvious that I am the second generation with this name, and my Mom lost the kittie who lived for over 18 years with her about a couple...

Someone pointed me to Xylitol as a sugar substitute, particularly for baking. It apparently has dental benefits and fewer calories than sugar. This person said that she has even made a creme brule that turned out beautifully. I think she said that, in a recipe calling for sugar, she uses half...

When our kitties decide to "become bad" and "get" us, we know that they usually turn sideways and hunch up, or as my friend calls it, becoming a "witch kitty". Then they will likely run and paw at us, then dash off into the other room, daring us to follow, at our peril. Well, my big 19-pound...

Beast stopped eating the day after we arrived back in PA, Tuesday, his yowling went harsher and when yesterday he wouldn't even sniff the sausage patty brought home from breakfast - it was as though he waited to get "home". His cairn is just a step from Max's. I'm surprised at the depth of...

Real Life has swallowed me whole lately, but we have been sending purrs out into the aether to be distributed as needed by the mothership, and will continue to do so. Hubert has decided that dishtowels do not belong on the oven door. They just don't. He's very businesslike about it; he'll walk...

....have it sitting here next to me on the couch, and still can't grab it up quick enough to get snapshots and video of the masters' playing. Of course, first I have to find my glasses so I can actually *see* the phone and spend ten minutes looking for them before DH tells me they're on my...

I know real life interferes at times but this ng has suddenly gone quiet. :( Jill

Anyone wake up in the morning or come home to bird feathers in the shower, or worse yet bird beaks, legs, feathers and guts on the carpet? Our cats are the best fed cats in Oklahoma, but they still love to have a good ole' bird murder weekly. We sometimes catch them and pry the bird out of...

A new neighbour came around to discuss something earlier. She saw Lily. After looking at her, and then at HRFL who deigned to come and inspect her, she said that she wouldn't have cats with only one eye, and she though I was nuts to have them when there were so many other *more perfect looking*...

Hi the I was out in the backyard trying to plant when the cats, particuarly Chester, started being crazy. They were running around chasing each other and then Chester climbed the chainlink fence and finally, the huge ornamental crabapple, currently in blossom. He had a big fall from...

Last night, there was suddenly an aweful noise from the kitchen. Joel rushed over to find it was coming from the computer, specifically from the CDrw drive, which had suddenly turned itself on (otherwise the computer was idle, flicking through its screensaver, and had been for several hours)....

On another group I mentioned that since I deaf I can't hear water running and a friend replied with her efforts to get her cat to stop turning the water on. Reposted here with her permission. "Jo Firey" wrote in message ... My big problem...

I don't get it. Are kids like dogs? LOL It's all over the news that there is a frequency that kids can hear and most adults cannot. It was said that when it was discovered, the tone was used in a store somewhere in Europe that had a teen population that the proprietors didn't want loitering, so...

Siamese cats are not by nature a needy animal. They are aloof. Masters of all they survey. They may permit scritches if it makes us happy and they may even share the occasional purr. Physical closeness is also permitted and everyone knows shared body heat is a good thing. And of course an...
