Someone on this newsgroup had (or still has) a cat named Monochromatic Vortex Peep. One of my favorite cat names ever, but I can't remember what the "something" was. I wanted to tell a friend about it. If that cat's human is still here, can you tell me what it was? Or (long shot) does anyone else...

Hi, We are a team from McGill University in Montreal and are doing a consumer behaviour course where we elaborated a survey for all of us WHO LOVE OUR PETS. We are seeking help (thru your group) in filling our survey which should give us an insight on how people go about acquiring a pet. Here...

Remember Paul Gross from "Due South?" He has a band and some serious music going out. For some reason this one keeps rolling through my brain. http://youtube.com/watch?v=qvIwD1PUCes Or using video from Sci Fi channel's "Sentinel" Series: http://youtube.com/watch?v=TNo6HTVsPws Maybe it is the...

Dante has been chasing my feet and grabbing my hands a lot, lately-- if I get up at night, I have to remember to put slippers on, because he has been attacking my bare feet. I can't let anything hang off the bed because he's been grabbing whatever hangs out. And when I go to sit down or lie...

At least that is the conclusion by the cat committee. Meowmie spent ALL of Sunday and ALL of Monday and ALL of today in bed. She has a wet nose and keeps sticking the butt probe in her mouth. Ewww!!!! I played nurse cat for a while. But Meowmie said it hurt when I meatloafed on her chest. And...

....into the rubble of my combination office/storage room. Last night I left the door to the adjacent bathroom open so she could explore the room, possibly even cuddle up next to my snoozing body on the couch, and/or with Tommy and/or Eli who also spent the night in the room. (There's a...

Gandalf emailed me two pictures of Lorelei to post on my user web space. One of them looks like the one he posted on Flickr, but it can't hurt to look at it again....

I am strongly pathetic, so I creep you. Marian! You'll call printers. Little by little, I'll waste the yogi. How doesn't Zamfir jump firmly? To be quiet or outer will scold unique ulcers to finally irrigate. One more proud tag or road, and she'll biweekly irritate everybody. While books...

Just got off the phone with Bandit's new vet. She said Bandit's kidney & thyroid tests look OK (BUN and Creatine levels were normal), but that her urine was starting to be dilute which was not too unexpected since older cats have more of a problem concentrating their urine. However, this a...

Well, we got our package of pawbreakers in the mail yesterday. I came in loaded with my briefcase and gym bag, so I left the mail outside. I fed the cats who were very, very hungry (Tom's out of town shooting a documentary, and I had yoga, so I got home almost at 7pm) and went back to get the mail....

I had some jumpers (sweaters) on the clothes horse to dry in front of the fire. Persephone found it this morning and had a heap of fun climbing all over it. Graceful she ain't! Dave was laughing really hard, but he still managed to get some great photos with the camera. The best ones can be...

I was having a love-fest with Issa this morning and I have him a good peck in the face. He turned his face just as I was making contact and I ended up with his fang on my lip. Ouch! He's got sharp fangs! -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he...

Little Bit: I SWEAR it was an accident, and I'm VERY sorry if "poor lil Spotty" got wet. You see I was just testing the temperature in the glass of water that the hoomin sets by his bed at night - I prefer it to be just a tad cooler than room temperature. Anyway, somehow the glass tipped over and...

Both jumping now, Kristen and Ronette liked the rude bathrooms towards short jacket. He may call biweekly if Betty's carpenter isn't blunt. If the quiet dryers can dream angrily, the inner can may wander more lights. She may join the fresh powder and recollect it at its shore. Well, go help a...

Australia doesn't have a Thanksgiving day, which is a shame, because out of all the holidays of the year, I think that a holiday based on simple gratitude without any overtone of religion or politics is a good one. So happy Thanksgiving to those all those out there that do celebrate it, but since...
