Now that's just mean. :P Take this, and this, you stupid box! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_NSa1mqh54&feature=player_embedded -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

I went away for a week, leaving the brood in the charge of the neighbor down the block, Serene. She has five cats so she knows how to deal with them. Espy stole her heart, since he is quite the charmer. He also specializes in knocking stuff off of shelves at 4 AM when he wants some...

I don't speak cat and the cats don't speak human, but at least we have learned some sounds from each other. The cats know their names and some variations of them. Miranda reacts best to Mir-Mir, where the first Mir is slightly higher than the second. Caliban reacts to his whole name but also to...

Written by Anne Moss If you have been reading a bit about feline behavior, then you should know by now that cats and discipline don't mix; in other words, you should never punish your cat. Cats are not dogs and you simply can't take your cat to obedience class… That said, sometimes you need to...

I just noticed today she's chewing the fur off her paws again. And she's been charging around the house like the devil is chasing her. Tomorrow I'll make an appointment with the vet. But the last time she did this she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. It's not suppose to come back after...

It looks like the feral cats of Bluffers Park are on the last of their nine lives. Between coyotes stalking and eating them and efforts by their caretakers to place them in foster homes, the colony of 25 to 30 cats had dwindled to just eight by last...

Say a prayer for the people of Christchurch who have just had another 6.3 earthquake which has caused more damage than the first one. There are fatalities, two buses squashed, people trapped in buildings, and the lovely cathedral which was miraculously undamaged in the first quake is now down....

We left food out last night and a neighbor heard him come to eat it at 2:30 a.m. She went out, and saw him, but he ran away. At least we know he is free and knows where his home is. However we leave here on Feb.21, so we don't have a lot of days to get him back. Thanks again for all the...

In One of Mark's posts I suggested that he receive the "Dave Yehuddah voice of un-reason RPCA award" for his work. Either that or time in a drug re-hab. Use your imagination and suggest awards for various excellence in RPCA submissions. I'll start with: Dave Yehuddah voice of un-reason...

They were so cute and proud as punch! The judging continues tonight for a few of the breeds. Jill

I have a cat tree/condo in my bedroom window mainly to stop fighting about who gets to bask in the eastern sunlight each morning, partly because I love them and want them to be happy, and partly to make me happy. Smokey will leave the crow's nest if he hears me calling Pine Cone because the...

Thank you everyone. Amanda is now Mrs James A. Graves IV. The wedding went off with few glitches yesterday and we partied like it was 1985. Mike and Mandy's other mother, Ivy, was able to make it to both the wedding and reception which was wonderful. She gave a wonderful tribute to Mandy...

You may remember that last November we were able to trap all but one of the black feral cats we are caring for. I had hoped that the one we didn't catch was a male but it is almost a year old and hasn't developed testicles that I've detected. Today I heard the unmistakable sound of a cat being...

I had an appointment to take Pickles in for her shots this afternoon. Somehow she knew, and when it was time for me to get her, she started running away from me. I managed to catch her once, but she broke loose before I could get her into the carrier. Eventually I caught her a second time,...

The difference between Miranda and Caliban. I've told you about how Caliban will ambush Miranda. He hides in a cardboard box and waits for her to walk past, but he's so pleased with himself, he makes these little grunty noises, and so she knows he's there, and gives the box a wide berth. He's...

Hi everyone, I haven't posted to rec.pets. for months owing to the fact that the computer blew up and I lost my servers. Then I got into health problems and didn't bother trying to find a new server. My health problems have been resolved by an operation a month ago which was horrible) but...

A while back I posted a LOLz i made when I was pet-sitting my friend's cats for your refreshment, please visit and vote... http://cheezburger.com/View/4425151232 I went back through the photos and found another great pic and made another one.
