Here's a short update on JMS, the guy who writes Babylon 5, and Buddy, the kitten he rescued from a pipe deep in his yard (at great cost to himself). It's a happy ending! (And of course, he only made this decision for the *kitten's* sake... :)) Joyce ----- Forwarded message from...

Harvey's food is surrounded by a smooth, featureless floor. Nevertheless, Harvey tries to cover up his food when done. He'll spend up to thirty seconds covering up the food with imaginary floor grass. Yet, he lays the most huge turds in the litter box and just flicks one or two grains over...

I have finally created a folder in rpca_pictures called, appropriately enough, "Brenda's cats." In it I've posted photos of Emily and Pea butterfly-watching, and a few other pics I hope you'll enjoy seeing. (Attention Marina - check out the one called "Emily in bed.") Brenda

BlueBird's health problems are getting worse, and she is able to spend very little time at the computer. Mostly, she can just read e-mail. She doesn't have the energy to sit there long enough to do any research at web sites. She would like anyone who can do so to e-mail her information...

Thank you all so much for your purrs and prayers for Hobo. I'm overwhelmed by your generous support. RPCA is terrific when we need help. We took Hobo back to the vet the same day I posted his problems. Yes, we had considered finding a new one but this is a clinic we've used for nearly ten years...

Those of you who have been lobbying for Pine Cone to have a new crows' nest, need lobby no more. One of the volunteers with our local no kill shelter made and donated a cat tree to sell for the shelter. We bought it. It is six feet tall, has a lower shelf that is 25 inches wide by 41 inches...

I was looking at the recent pictures of Weebles when I realised I hadn't read an update for a week!!! But then I noticed a reply to your post but couldn't find the original post.... I'd love to hear more Weebles updates, if there are any... Purrs Angela and Gizmo

I mentioned I'm taking lessons and the lady has three barn kitties that for me are much too inquisitive. I know they will grow out of having to play in the arena where we ride, but right now, they like nothing better than to follow us in and wrestle in the dirt! While walking I wasn't nervous...

Several years ago a man whom I held highly tipped me to this group. A very smart, helpful guy for occasional pc probs. I see a couple of names from back then, ranging from his in Chi to NZ:) Anyway, I want to know whether I'm being mean to Bert. Bert, who was named Bertha when he adopted me at my...

LittleBit is still hanging in there, and has even rallied somewhat. For a week or so, she wouldn't eat, and stayed hidden all the time. Since she had been what my cat group people call a "Velcro cat" (sticking to her meowmy) before, this really upset BlueBird. Now she is eating some, and staying...

Sylvie smells like a very old fur coat (!) which (dignity aside) she actually is. BT Rowdy smells "dusty" - not surprising, as he rolls around in corners and under furniture and sleeps splayed out like "deadcat" mode. Maluce has a strange, "fruity" faint smell to her fur almost like...

Talked to Mom & Dad last Fri (sorry 'bout the delay my brain is spacey), Dad is home (at my sister's) and is going for short walks. He said the pain isn't too bad but is having problems breathing. They're going to try more Lasix (sp?). Thanks again for purrs and lit candles. Suz Iron Chef...

Hello, I posted this to the health+behav group, and someone suggested that I post it here as well. My cat Morag, who is a Burmese, was diagnosed with severe HCM by my regular vet about a month ago after having undergone an ultrasound. On Thursday she saw a cardiologist at the veterinary hospital...

Last week I posted about Gizmos unusual places to wee....well, she went to TED and the vet said no UTI and that she s a very healthy cat!!! (of course). I have been paying extra special attention to her litterbox over the last couple of days.....weird cat....she likes the litter "even"....i.e....
