Beast stopped eating the day after we arrived back in PA, Tuesday, his yowling went harsher and when yesterday he wouldn't even sniff the sausage patty brought home from breakfast - it was as though he waited to get "home". His cairn is just a step from Max's. I'm surprised at the depth of...

You came to me years ago as a stray and I've never known your age. When you became a renal patient 6 years ago and got cat flu at the same time you almost died, but got a next life and did very well to everyone's surprise. But then you got cancer and that can't be solved with pills and diet...

Our three cats go in and out as the please, and even though we live in a fairly safe, cat friendly environment, if they don't come home every day, I get worried. They all wear collars with tags, but they loose them often. Last week, Smokey was gone for a couple of days. On the third day I went to...

Last night, there was suddenly an aweful noise from the kitchen. Joel rushed over to find it was coming from the computer, specifically from the CDrw drive, which had suddenly turned itself on (otherwise the computer was idle, flicking through its screensaver, and had been for several hours)....

Siamese cats are not by nature a needy animal. They are aloof. Masters of all they survey. They may permit scritches if it makes us happy and they may even share the occasional purr. Physical closeness is also permitted and everyone knows shared body heat is a good thing. And of course an...

He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here. When he first came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/Garvin/ -- Hugs,

My mom is having a lot of trouble coping with the aftermath of Katrina. Sometimes it's comical - like when she tries to talk on her cell phone and disconnects 5 times during our conversation by accidentally hitting the "off" button (they still don't have land line phone service in Chalmette). But...

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...

See if you can get out of the Crimson Room (or is it the rubber room, lol) I am still trying! http://www.fasco-csc.com/works/crimson/crimson_e.php -- Dogs may shed, but cats shred.

Dear Group I have to go the the hospital tomorrow, it's a follow up check after my ovarian ca op in May, I am to be followed up for 5 years. I was quite okay until today. Not scared at all about whatever. Now I am. Could I have a few purrs that they won't find anything weird and scary that I've...

Orion had to be PTS. About a year and a half ago he was diagnosed with vaccination-associated sarcoma cancer. He received chemo, which slowed down the progression but unfortunately it continued to spread. The last year he seemed largely unaffected (except for the appearance of a large lump on his...

As I'm at the other end of the world the only thing I can do is forward news about Katrina's victims I get on groups or lists to other groups and lists. Hope you don't mind. Please feel free to cross post. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pets & Animals in Distress"...

She started sneezing a few days ago, I didn't think anything of it at first but now there is green gunk coming down one nostril. She hasn't eaten this evening and is hugging the fire. I guess she can't smell her food and feels poorly. She has CRF and cannot afford to not eat. She has never...

I was running errands and decided to stop at the humane society and formalize our adoption of the boys. They were checking in a momma cat with 3 (or 4?) kittens, about 3 weeks old. Somebody dumped them at the pound, where they would've been euthanized, but the folks at the SPCA go there twice a...

The other two, with minimum complaint, accept flea collars. Ding shook his off within minutes last season. Tonight, all I did was unroll the thing, as he was enjoying the lap scratching (and I was not enjoying grooming out the fleabits)...BOOM....struggle. He just wanted to get away, and clearly...

This must be very near you: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17884897# Mexico 1968: Olympics as an excuse for a massacre of the opposition Athens 2004: Olympics as an opportunity for corruption on a country-busting scale Beijing 2008: Olympics as pretext for mass evictions

My brain is so tired it's hard to think, but i think i'll let it operate a little more so I can vent. First of...

Just thought I would pass on something that happened last night. Candles and cats together in a house probably aren't a good idea anyway, but I never had any problem. I was always careful to put them in a heavy votive holder and not to put them on the coffee tables where the cats jump. Anyway, I...
