Quite possibly the cutest pootie pic in yonks: http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/AFDB/pootiehug.jpg Chak -- There is something wonderful in seeing a wrong-headed majority assailed by truth. --John Kenneth Galbraith

He's hoping for a call back from the military hospital... He's had lymphoma twice, carcinonma twice (won't use sunblock). He wheezes like a tea kettle (emphezema; won't quit smoking)... No idea what his problem is now other than being old and stubborn! I really should send him a basket of...

I went to see "Brokeback Mountain" today, which is just about to finish its run in our local Independent cinema. Wow. What an amazing, moving and wonderful movie. This one is going to live with me for a while. I go to very few movies; in fact this is the first movie I've been to this year. And...

Hi the We had mother's day barbecue with the whole extended family at my mom & dad's house tonight. As usual, the boys followed us down the street and joined us in the backyard. I took some pictures of Chester and Otis (and my mother's fabulous garden just beginning to spring). Chester was...

Meow everyone. You gotta see this cat's site. I dare you to keep a straight face. www.presidentcat.com DEEEElightful and a platform which will get him elected. Leroy

We had to put Cinnamon to sleep a few days ago. He was about 17 years old, and had a tumor in his mouth. Also had kidney trouble. He wasn't eating. It was time.... He was a very friendly tabby cat. Wish cats lived longer. Now we sent him to the Rainbow Bridge where he'll feel better...

I feel these paws kneading my throat this morning, Miss Cleo. Keep those claws in Cleo. Hey wait a minute, those claws are facing the wrong way. Cleo that's starting to hurt... Mmmph. Gasp, Cleo get your bum off my face... Mmmph. Gasp, Cleo, I'm not going to wash your bum.

Today was such a beautiful day, I left the cat flap open for the kids when I went out this morning so that they could go in the garden during the day. When I got home, all five cats were crashed out on the sofa. I went into the garden, and started speaking to my neighbours over the fence. They are...

I just woke up. It's 4:45am. Why did I wake up? I remembered that my friend had insisted that I take the bread we used for dinner at her house home with me, and I'd left it in my motorcycle saddlebag (as I'd predicted, I forgot). That's not the mind-losing part. When I walked out into the...

The DaVinci Code... I read the book, gonna see the film when I'm working with John. I am a total Tom Hanks fan. Can't wait to see him in this. I don't think there is a cat in this movie. (sigh) Oh, and he adopted another dog named Twig. Short aired, long squat body but short legs. Red...

Calico goes to her onetruehome at 9am this morning. less than 7 hours from now. I have a copy of the vet records we had from treating her for a bladder infection and the blood work showing where she is hyperthroid for her new slave. Hew new slave's last cat lived to 23 so she knows how to deal...

Well. (if I start a post with Well..it means I'm not best pleased.) It is 5 weeks now since I consulted my doctor about my incisional hernia from my previous surgery last year and I posted about what a useless consultation it was from my point of view then, if you remember. The doctor said he...

you play a vet and help save animals and raise them http://www.valusoft.com/products/petvet.html

I usually don't lose sleep or fret about too many things but this one is really getting me. And I've seen lots of ugly things animals and shelters and such, lots of graphic pictures and RL things too. Yesterday the animal control officer from the city came in the shelter and stuck this 8x10...

My IBS (or whatever it is) continues unabated. If anything, it's getting worse. I feel like I've had a stomach ache for over a month straight (although technically I guess it's an intestinal ache). My acupuncturist has stuck tiny magnets in my ears (via adhesive; no poking!) and given me herbs...

Hi Helen: Just wanted to make sure that you got my e-mail as a Calgary cat slave. I have lots to say about my fair city :-) I can try again if it didn't go through. Susan M Otis and Chester Calgary rescue cats

Cali has been diagnosed with Chlamydia, so now she gets the eye gel three times a day, as well as the foul yellow liquid three times a day for a month. We've only given here the oral antibiotics twice and we are already getting the silent treatment. But from the little I've read so far, this is...

Matthew, as I said in a previous e-mail, I sent Flippy your story. She's written back to me, saying "I have heard this story, it's amazing. Did Matthew say it was alright for me to add to the Catpage?" She'd like to give it a permanent spot in her amazing cat-related website, and wants your...
