I promised myself this year would be less fraught with upsets than the last ..... Well, two things. DH's grandmother is once again in the hospital for complications to pneumonia. She is far gone with Alzheimer's and doesn't remember anyone, and the only words she recalls are "I love you" (not bad...

It snowed last night, so a couple of inches of the white stuff cover our deck. There's a wet-but-clear path right along the house, though. Well, I opened the back door and encouraged Oscar to take a look. The idea was, she would take one step onto the soggy wet mat and retreat. I could give her...

Remember my son-in-law, whose employer from h*ll tried to tell him he had to change his wedding plans at the last minute instead of going to work? (He took the day off for his wedding, anyway.) Well, this same bunch bounced his pay check (twice) and they think they shouldn't have to reimburse him...

Is it a bad thing if you have to stare at your cat for thirty seconds to be able to tell which end is which and it the cat is upside down or right side up or somewhere in the middle? Joe Kitty needs to get some bones, I think. TBird ---- he was pretzeled with a tail over his head

This morning I heard some scratching noises against cardboard and I figured it was Rufous (he loves to paw at things) playing in the big box. I looked over there and noticed Rufous trying to bury something on the rug. I approached and saw a brown streak about 12 inches long. It smelled too! I...

Baby cougars: http://zorin.org/drupal/?q=node/59 They're so sweet. I got to feed one of them with a milk bottle and they're so tiny! Yet of course much bigger than a domestic cat at two weeks... How's everyone doing? I haven't poked my head (or paws) in here in a while. Lynxie's being as cute as...

My kitties are bullying me. They say they want nicer food. There is nothing at all wrong with the food they get. Duck & turkey in gravy. Chicken & rabbit, Beef and lamb, cod and haddock, tuna and shrimp.Nice kitty bics too. They have scorned their food tonight. So I am going to call their...

Yesterday was snip day... the girls are usually inseperable and so we took them to the vet in a single carrier. He said that we had to bring a second one with us because they'd probably fight after their operation. We didn't believe him but we went out and bought another carrier anyway. It was a...

Out of all the mousies Mischief has to play with, I would say her favorite is this one white one. You give her the white mouse and she be occupied for 10 minutes batting it, throwing it and thoroughly killing it. But, someone has to throw it...... Someone needs to throw it at an angle so it...

I went into the lab, because she wanted to show me the struvite crystals in his urine sample. They were real pretty. As I talked to her, she noticed that he had started meowing and rubbing against the door of the cage when he heard my voice amid the noise and commotion, still doped up from his...

I'm absolutely desparate. I am going on day 10 of a sinus/migraine/which led to tension and back to migraine cycle. I am taking what seems like four billion drugs that don't seem to be helping. I just took one I used to take a long time ago and while you are supposed to take it at the onset of...

Hi, all! I access RPCA via the web (at talkaboutpets.com), and I was wondering... is there any website that allows access to the alt.binaries.pictures.animals newsgroup? I can't see the pics that are posted in there, at least not via the website I'm using to access Usenet. Google hasn't got that...

Captain and Stanley have been here for 10 days now, and they still seem like they have outgoing enough dispositions to possibly learn to be therapy cats. They love to play AND they love their quiet lap time, and they've never shown fear since they got here. They haven't hidden even ONE time since...
