Weeble was being ultra friendly last night while we were watching TV (my lap most evenings is hogged by either Tennessee or Barney & Bam-Bam), and as I was giving him his proper luvins, pettins & skritchins, I noticed he has a lump on one of his rear legs (no, this is NOT a repeat of the case where...

I've seen it loose, in bags, and read about fresh catnip here in rpca. So what do you do with it? I can't conceive of just sprinkling it all over the carpet. Jill

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/12/how-good-are-you-reading-your-cat-s-facial-expressions There were eight pictures, I got seven right, one in the middle I accidently clicked on next-picture without selecting a guess. oops

After almost a week of Clavamox, Rusty is losing his appetite. He hardly touched his dinner tonight. I tried to spoon feed him to no avail. Tomorrow when I go to pickup more prescription food and next week's antibiotic. I will talk to the vet about it. Previously Rusty lost appetite while on a...

When I got home yesterday (Monday) afternoon Natasha and I went outside for a while (the first sunny day we've had in a while) and she wandered for a bit. Later she sat in my lap for a long while, and she was in bed next to me all night. But her problems continue. I don't think she's eaten or...

Here's the latest picture of Sammy. This girl is BIG! She's LESS THAN 5 MONTHS OLD!!! I'm not a little girl myself, I'm 5'6" and weigh 140 pounds. http://www.possibleplaces.com/BigSammy/ Hugs,

I've been watching my grandkitten for 2 days now and I only just noticed - "Porsche" isn't a she, he's a he. Boy is my son going to be surprised, all this time they thought they had a girl kitty!! I guess they'll have to come up with another name! Hugs, CatNipped

Hi everyone! This is truly the happiest day of my life! You may remember I posted asking for "get your furry butt home" purrs for Antonio about a month ago. There had been no sign of him until two days ago, when my neighbors spotted him near our condo's tennis courts. I had to stop setting the...

Here is an update on Andy. But first thank you all for the purrs & words of encouragement. They are much appreciated. Andy is home now. He was not very happy on the way home. He was hissing and growling at me, and anyone who came near. But I think that is part of the anesthetic that hasn't fully...

Hi everyone, Many of us here know how effective the power of purrs can be, and how remarkable things can happen when we as a group purr collectively. I wondered if we could have a collective purr session at a specified time tomorrow, to send our concentrated positive purr energies towards Tweed,...

Can it be done? DH and I are debating whether to even have a tree this year, considering that Hubert is into absolutely everything and will not be dissuaded. What little decorating I've done so far has been met with great enthusiasm by Hubert, to whom the whole world is a kitty toy. Our RB Mikey...

It's just me and the two cats, and they have shown a marked reluctance to hold each other down while I trim claws. So how does one person manage a claw clip on a reluctant cat? I have in the past tried to wrap one in a towel (prewarmed for his comfort) but I can only manage maybe two claws that...

I'm not being over-sensitive here, I'd like some advice. I know I "OT" a lot - probably twice as much or more as anyone else here. I'd rather not do that because it *does* cause some frustration and I'd just rather not do that to anyone. Some of you may be WWW savvy enough to help me with the...

I need advice on cooking a boneless pork chop. Yes, it's true - I've never done it before. For someone who's been on her own for 35 years, I know very little about cooking most meats. I can cook chicken and ground beef or turkey, and fish (eg, salmon, not shellfish), and that's about it. Oh, I can...

Again, god damn it!!! "For economic reasons," reads the official paper I asked for when the boss, hereinafter referred to as Douchebag, delivered the news. With his co-schmuck in the office and another female employee, as if I was going to tear some heads off or accuse the little...

Strangest thing, I never noticed it last night because he was sleeping so cutely on the bed, I didn't dare disturb him. But this morning I noticed a big (nickel sized) hole in his fur on his back. He's got a sore, looks like a couple of small abrasions but I suppose it could also be a...

Hi all, I am working late and just went down to open the garage from the outside for a car. Walking along the office building I saw a small black shape very still on the driveway. I knew it was what I wished it not to be, a little sweet black feral kitty. She looked all dead, even if she couldn't...

I really wish I could claim authorship of this, but I can't. Don't know who the author is. Originally seen posted on another newsgroup. Cheers, helen s "ITS NO fun being a kid, these days. I know this because, as a million kids this morning hand in homework essays on what they did at the Bank...

She died this morning at 6.10am (local time, Western Australia, Monday the 25th of April). Those of you who have followed her story will know how much she is going to be missed. She fought a hard battle against the inevitable for the past two weeks, but ultimately it was just her time to go. She...
