So many anecdotes, so little time. Shmogg, IBKFergus, Fluffy, Cary & Joel continue to interact with each other and me in amusing, amazing and awe-inspiring ways, and I wish I had the time to share them all with you. I'm writing the incidents down in note form in the vague hope that I'll get some...

My sister had sone really wild palpitations a couple of weeks ago, so she went to her doctor, who told her to see a cardiologist for a nuclear stress test. She had that test last week. She lives in Valdez, Alaska, and had to go to Anchorage to see the cardiologist. Her husband went with her, but...

Yesterday afternoon I was visiting my neighbor across the road when Ozy walked up ... only it wasn't Ozy. It was a different blue eyed red tabby colorpoint shorthair that had taken up there. Blue eyed ted tabby colorpoint - short or long hair - cats are scarce around he those two are the only...

For ages now I have grumbled that photopages from Community Webshots can't get past my filter and so I have never seen Stinky or Bagheera or Snoopy amongst others. Today for some reason I can! And they are all lovely especially (sorry to the other two you are also cuties!) Bagheera who could have...

"Burt's owner, Raymond Reid, contacted authorities after the dog survived a botched operation. In hindsight, he said, he should have been suspicious of a veterinarian who only made house calls and treated animals at an undisclosed location. " boggle Er....Yeah...I guess so!

Since Fizz went to the RB, we've been keeping an eye on Mithu to see how he would adjust. Pippin is no doubt happier: he spends more time inside, spends more time with us, appears to be gaining some weight, etc. But he still goes Out, leaving Mithu "alone" with DH, who works at home. Mithu and...

One night I was sitting at my computer and I looked over and the girls were having a catboxing match in slow-motion. They were sitting in their respective boxes with their paw in the air and their ears back, and every so often they'd bat at each other and one of them would flinch away... the winner...

Hello everyone! For those interested, this week's Housecat Wisdom is a ever-cynical feline look at yet another unusual titbit of scientific news. Feel free to read Fleas' purrsonal opinion of the science of screaming plants! I hope you enjoy it! Cheers, Azy!

My mother demanded I upload some more cat photos to webshots (funny - I thought she didn't like cats :P so here's a selection for January :) Cat Burglar - Silly has never shown much interest in paper products, but when we were painting there was a small roll of paper towel lying around and she...

Purrs please for my poor little Siamese 'baby' Rhia who was spayed about 10 days ago and went back to the vet today for the stiches to be removed. The vet said she was too swollen around the wound site and needed to be kept quiet for a few more days (have you every tried to keep a Siamese...

Oh, so cute!!! I've got a large mound of fluffy orange and white cats blocking the hall way...snooze time!! I dropped 2 of the boys at the RSPCA over the weekend (with a non euthanasia sticker of course) to see if they could help with re-homing, but they had 25 kittens dumped the next day...

There's a big fire burning in the Orange County, California hills. It's not threatening us here in Highland; the only effect it's had has been closing the toll road I take home and making me take a long detour. However, there is a mandatory evacuation order in effect for 1500 families. The good...

Well, after living in happy unison with several independant cats since my First Cat (RB Cleo), it seems one of my cats has decided to step into my First Cat's fluffy tortie shoes. And, like most first cats, he decided the moment he set eyes on me. I took a little while to get over...

I mean Persia, of course! She tapped me awake because, of course, she's starving to death. I'm so cruel to her ;) So I gave her a scoop of her food. Then she sees me with the milk jug. Oh NO! She starts telling me in her best raspy meezer-like voice why she *must* have some milk! Now!...
