Hi folks, I found some old pics, I wanted to share with you. Back in the late 80s, I lived alone with three cats (all RB). I once sitted a rat that belonged to a friend of mine. It was a female, called Bertie. I carefully watched all four, never leave Bertie alone in a room with the cats. Bertie...

So DD1 (she's 5 now) got to see her friend "G"'s hamster a few days ago. And, surprise, surprise, now DD1 wants a hamster too. G has an elderly cat and an even more elderly dog, neither of which have apparently noticed the new hamster. Her mom told me this morning: if you do get a hamster, don't...

Has a cat ever climbed a sequoia tree? What's the cat climb record?

I am just wondering why I have 2 cats and they do a little sniffing of each others rectums!!! Please Help!!!!!! Is there something I am doing wrong or should they be out in the wild. Jenny

It isn't below 0F in NYC right now but it is pretty close. The outside cats always disappear when we get a big snow and show up again in three or four days. After the snow from last Friday they didn't show up again until Monday, when three of them came to eat. The fourth one had been spotted a day...

Went out to check and fill all the cat, squirrel, bird, etc feeding stations so they could all eat the next morning and seen something I never seen before. I shined the light on the squirrel logs and a pair of eyes shined back. At first I thought it was a possum which there is a couple around. ...

In 2 days, the Moon will be full once again. Does a Full Moon effect your cats? Mine just sit in the windows and stare it, sometimes 'talking' to it, but they don't go any more beserker than usual. How do your furbabies react? Hug Kyla

I haven't posted in ages, but just had to pass this along: I hope to heaven you all have good speakers on your puter. I apparently missed the entire "Dr Hook" craze in the 70's and 80's. My friends introduced me to them recently at a dinner and it turns out that tho I didn't know the name of the...

I laughed so hard that I spilled my morning tea watching the second video on this link. It is a compilation of cats and toasters. http://canadaam.ctvnews.ca/video?binId=1.815914 The first video was labelled "What to do when your camel gets loose", followed by "Hot Stuff", and "Spare...

spending time just looking at funny vids on youtube these two are serious about their training http://tinyurl.com/6fu3ls Here's a clip of a kitten learning about the treadmill - looks like he/she is bored by the whole thing, and just trying to humor his hoomin http://tinyurl.com/8yfype Assuming...

On another group I mentioned that since I deaf I can't hear water running and a friend replied with her efforts to get her cat to stop turning the water on. Reposted here with her permission. "Jo Firey" wrote in message ... My big problem...

Casey is a cat that loves me and I just wanted to write about one thing he does that really melts my heart.... He begs like a dog to be picked up. I hold him like a baby on my chest and over the shoulder and he does his 'kneading' thing on me that turns me to mush. He clings onto my back and neck...

There seems to be a definate correlation between cat companionship and Wicca. I figures that cats are just natureally attracted to magic (whythey often turn up and announce they're home), and if you are really lucky, youcan invite them to your circle and have them add their own feline energy to...

Last xmas was Smudgie's first xmas. She watched with great interest whilst I put up the tree and it made me wonder how long it would be before she; a. pulled it over on top of her b. got stuck in it c. ate the baubles Luckily she did none of the above .... however, I did find it strange when...

I like to eat yogurt, and peach is my favorite flavor. Mosey, who has a sensitive tummy, like me, loves to lick some off my spoon when I finish mine. It doesn't seem to give him the 'trots' or make him throw up or anything. I don't give him too much, a tablespoon at the most. Advice...

I went with my friend Kristin and her son to the humane society yesterday to look at kitties -- she and her family are feeling really needy without Dexter. We spent about 3-1/2 hours there in the the cat room! I had my volunteer badge on and ended up working with an amazing parade of people...

The most common reason why cats wind up sitting in a cage at an animal shelter is because they refuse to use the litter box. Cat urine has a very strong odor, and getting it out of fabric or even removing the smell entirely from hard surfaces can be difficult. And, cats have been known not only to...

Cats are crafty manipulators, study finds http://www.world-science.net/othernews/090713_cats.htm

I'm starting to get really protective of my dinner as Omar and Midnight and even Oreo at times are not above stealing my hard-earned dinner right from under my nose. Tonight, Midnight was helping herself to leftover chicken soup from the dish that my son put up on the counter after dinner;...

Hi everybody! It is a well-recognised fact that felines are experts on sleep. In this week's Housecat Wisdom, Mr. Fleez' answers the question, "What can I do to...rest at night?" Not an unfitting subject for a cat, I'd say. ::grin:: Stop in and take a peek. As usual, there's a cute pic of...
