Seeing somone mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, I thought I'd be the bearer of good news. An Australian has been charged (not _this_ Australian, mind) with involvement in the so-called "Nigerian email fraud". At least _that one's_ over. -- Alan Erskine alanterskine(at)hotmail.com

.... and Persia climbed up on my back and fell asleep on my back! I woke up to a purring snoozing cat on my back and I didn't want to move for fear of disturbing her. I finally did shift and she moved down next to me. Purr, purr, purr. I love this cat! Jill

One of my foster kittens was adopted today! Not the one I've been thinking of keeping (Rudy/Cooper, etc) - his brother, Jake. I have to admit I'd gotten pretty attached to Jake, too. It was a slower process because he's a lot more shy and less affectionate. But when I did manage to pick him up and...

Anyone would know why, when I walk into the living room and see three cats sitting around a cup of cold tea, with a television remote control in it, the cats all have expressions of "Nothing to do with us" on their furry faces??? Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid...

Some cats bite when you pull their tails, some seem to like it. Why?

Well, my Dear Husband comes up with some good ones on occasion, and the other night was no exception. He hovers over the cats while they eat, making sure that each one gets the right food (since there are so many different diets around seven cats, it can be a chore!). Cosmo, who has chronic renal...

Geez. DH and I are both computer geeks (he being a geek-extrordinaire), yet this stupid box had us stumped this time! The other night I come into my puter to check the NG, surf, etc. Outlook Express and Adobe Photoshop are open. I click to open the browser and it says "Not enough virtual...

Thanks to everybody for all the purrs and purrayers for rain for Southern California. We got some rain and it has definitely helped. Some of the fires are completely contained, and some are partially so. Now, I need purrs for it not to rain tomorrow morning. I am driving 45 miles to meet Dave...

Mr Peabody here. Meowmie and Paw went away for a week, and when they came home, Meowmie was carrying a strange bag with mesh windows. She set it down, and Emmy and I went over to give it a good sniffing. Imagine our surprise when that bag hissed at us! We both jumped about three feet in...

I was just wondering whether any none-Australians (as most of you probably are) have heard much about the Melbourne Cup.....it is huge here (in Oz)....I never bet on anything (as I always lose) but so far have spent $20 (through the TAB and on work sweeps)...... Purrs that I won...

Well, it's not 100% off-topic, since doing this will help the cats. I have decided it is time. Now. This week. To quit smoking. I have emphysema with about 50-50% lung capacity. Also have asthma and chronic bronchitis. Stupid that I'm still smoking, huh? Well, this past week I have been...

Little "Jaylo" the kitten is nowhere to be seen. Her meowmie called me a short while ago in a panic because she couldn't find the kitten and was terrified that kitty had gotten into the washing machine when she filled it earlier. I rushed down and unpacked the machine - no kitty (thank Bast!)...

Hi all How are you? i hope you haven't forgotten about me & cats =^__^= We have long given up the "keeping up with the newsgroup" project, everything seems faster than we are :) Anyway, let's try if things go better this time. And first thing before marking all read and

Francis asked to be let out into the garden this morning, so as the weather is much nicer than yesterday, I duly acted the good cat slave & opened the door for him. About 20 mins later he meowed to be let in, so I duly opened the door for him... Then he stood at his food bowl, which was empty, and...

Today I drove to LAX to meet Dave Gerecke. Dave Yehudah had called the day before and said he might come too, but not if it rained, since he would be riding his motorcycle. It didn't rain, so he didn't come. At least I hope he didn't. I didn't see him, anyway. I waited two hours, and saw two...

Yesterday Bonnie went missing!! When they are outside I check them regularly. FSP and Clyde were hanging around the door, dashing in and out - it was cold and raining slightly, hardly a nice day to be 'out'. We both kitty kittied all around the place, me getting more unnerved by the minute. ...

My niece finally changed the host for her webpage about her two cats, and this should be available for you people outside Finland, too. The address is http://metso.sigmatic.fi/~russianb/mia/ Click on the Union Jack for the page in English. -- Marina

I need some help. My meowmie is SOOOO mean.... Here's why... 1. She won't let me in and out of the house at all hours of the night.....she MAKES me stay inside. Doesn't she realise I have important business to attend to? 2. She makes me chase the red bug ALL the time but never lets me catch...

"Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Dulce has been showing her lack of manners lately. Snip So this morning I let her in again. I had already put my bowl of cereal and glass of milk on the desk by the computer. I was...

Hello everybody (in my best Dr Nick voice), Tish here - channelling for Persephone, Ted and Spock (who take it in turns). I have just managed to wrestle google and yahell into letting me post here. For the last 3 months or so I've been able to read posts, but not able to send posts - most...
