The fosterer just answered my mail. I can fetch Leo any time, or she might bring him this evening!!! I just hope I replied on time before she left home for errands. Then Leo might arrive in just an hour or so! The batteries are charged and ready in the camera, don't know whether the cats are...

I was just wondering what people thought about having FLV+ and FLV - cats together. I was told you shouldn't have them together. Even if the negative is vaccinated, they can still get FLV from the other cat over time. I had an FLV+ who became a negative who now lives with a negative. They never...

For the last month or so, we have been inundated with cluster flies all over the house. Though the kitties love them, I'm getting tired of checking my pop (soda) cans for floaters before drinking, so I went out and got myself some fly strips. My gosh, these things are STICKY! If some of it gets on...

Don't ask me why but we have been invaded by bluebottles- big, nasty one's so many that even Dunzi the big black fly hunter is overwhelmed. Don't know where they are coming from but whilst I usually respect the right of all living things to live and they can't help being flies (I am sure if they...

Cinders was curled up next to me tonight as I used the computer. Unfortunately, my allergies are currently acting up, and I sneezed loudly. Cinders took off as if shot from a catapult; I think she made it about 10 feet in her first leap before she touched the ground. I will have to apologize...

Tomorrow, my two purr-bags (feral Pandora, and His Royal Feline Lordship Tiger) are off to the vet to get their final pre-flight checks before flying from the USA to the UK on Wednesday. Whilst both are experienced travellers & flyers, they are going to be entering the UK on pet-passports which...

It may be of interest to those of you in UK, that some regional airports are now approved for pet transportation. Among them are Bristol and Cardiff. I stumbled upon Ward Aviation Support Tel 01275 472292 by following a link from the Bristol Airport site, and have received a quote from them which...

Buster is a real chewer when it comes to toys. You may remember he chewed off the streamers of his cat dancer, and even the end of his cat charmer. Karen's mentioning the "Feline Flyer" toy reminded me of his latest act of toy...

The weather is starting to warm up in Nashville (with occasional cold days), and various flying insects have appeared, a few of which have found their way into my house. Last night, some very small creature apparently attracted Cinders' attention. I couldn't see what she was pursuing, but she...

This kind of branches off from Joy's "Rain" post, but...anybody beside me ever have a cat that could literally go all the way around a room or from the middle of one room to the other end of the next room without touching the floor? I've had two. My very first kitty, a calico named Natasha and...

I have to fly to Baltimore for a wedding that was supposed to have been this fall, until an inlaw came around with a shotgun...you know the old story. We had less than 3 weeks notice. I'm standing up for her, the only one of her Buffalo friends who didn't bail on her. And I'm scared of flying. I...

I would appreciate some flying purrs tomorrow and on Monday. I just don't fly often and while flying itself does not bother me, I just always want to make sure I make it back to my girls. This is the first time I am taking a couple of days since Grant died and they have never been together alone...

I was reading the group when I heard a weird noise behind me. Rufous was standing there, smacking his lips and chewing and foaming at the mouth. He spread foam all over the place, but I couldn't see anything in his mouth. He's done with that and now he's acting completely normal. Any idea what that...

OMG!! The foil pantie and hat wears must check this out. It's too cute!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2981968472

The cats are not allowed in the bedroom. The cats are not allowed on the bed. The cats are not allowed on the pillows. Yesterday I found Ripley and Annie in the bedroom, on the bed. It's been very cold here, and they're fed up of being inside, so I cut them some slack, and threw my dressing gown...

I won tickets to the local folk festival last weekend http://www.illawarrafolkclub.org.au/folk_festival_home.php And I am glad I did because my father writes and performs "Bush Poetry" (anecdotes set in rhyme) at such events, and the tickets to such festivals are usually more than I can afford....

I posted yesterday about a little boy kitty at my vets office who had an issue due to his neuter. Well when I picked Harvey up yesterday evening, I asked about him but of course they would only say very little other that they were able to remove the problem. I did not ask what they removed but was...

A while back, Pam S posted about new regulations governing shelter regulations in her state of North Carolina. She posted a link to sign a petition asking that the shelters be given more time to implement the changes (currently the changes are supposed to be in place by the new year). When I went...

I stumbled across a bottle of Duoxo Seborrhea spray in the bathroom cabinet. I'd completely forgotten Persia's vet in Tennessee gave me some of this the last time she had dandruff! I spritzed some on her fur this morning. As I recall, this stuff worked wonders in clearing up the dandruff...

Some of you may remember this was discussd here a little while back - here is a follow-up to the story: Press release from Cats Protection - 17 November 2004 Ten cats are on cloud nine as they jet off to find new homes in Jersey It's not only increasing numbers of Britons who move somewhere in...
