Now, most of us know this stuff but just in case we have a new pet owner, here's a starter list of things you may not have known were dangerous. Feel free to add to the list. Eggnog with raw eggs, eggs and most pets (unless cooked) are dangerous. Liver issues immediate. Chocolate is also to be...

This time of year Espy starts considering the top of the cable box a fine place to hang out. For those of you without these horrid devices, they descramble the cable tv signal so we can watch. For some reason, they stay very warm all the time. I've always suspected the reason that the power supply...

My little baby girl is 6 years old today! I still think of her as a kitten. I bought a faux-fur catbed as an early birthday present yesterday. The cats were completely mystified with it at first. Then Caliban tried to kill it, holding it with his front paws, biting it, and bunny-kicking with...

Well, I mean Gandalf, of course. How is the new Mistress? Any progress? -- MatSav

Here is a cookie recipe to start the food chain. Jose Cuervo Christmas Cookies 1 cup of water 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup of sugar 1 tsp salt 1 cup or brown sugar

It's chilly here in the South Carolina low country. Not cold, just chilly. But it might explain why Persia is being extra snuggly. She sticks to me like glue. Soft, warm, furry purring glue :) She's also been extra chatty lately. When I'm on the couch reading a book she's right there next...

Ok, let's start the Christmas ball rolling .... ? On the twelfth day of Kissmus my Slave did give to me .... Twelve Christmas baubles, Eleven bits of chicken, Ten Whiskas Crunch treats, Nine bags of catnip, Eight rattly snake toys, Seven old shoe laces, Six leaking tap drips,

Last I heard, Sherry was having surgery today - unless that has changed (it was a bit up in the air). If it's still on lets please all send tons of purrs her way for an uneventful surgery and quick recovery. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped

Does each master require their own special types of pettins (I know most like any pettins they can get, but mine have some favorites. WARNING, fetishes and kinkiness may follow... Demi, now *12*, still doesn't like to be touched at all except on her own limited terms and times. Late at night,...

90, count 'em *NINETY* claws to clip. But the clowder are at least well trained enough to stand in line for their mani-pedis (well, Demi had to be tracked down) because they know they'll get "treats" afterwards (the only dry food they get, and only as an occasional treat, is Fancy Feast Gourmet...

I am totally in love with Coco. She is the sweetest baby girl ever. She has no flaws! All the other cats love her. She doesn't cry; she chirps, she trills, and she squeaks! If I could somehow record her cute little voice and let you hear it, I guarantee you would fall in love with her just from...

I don't know anything about her except that she's very young, and I think I'd better not visit this one, because how could I resist slipping this into my pocket when I left? http://www.flickr.com/photos/deinin/5214589509/ -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Shrimp stuffed artichokes for supper tonight - my mouth is *so* ready but the artichokes are not quite yet. All this talk about them lately had me craving them and DH obliged. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped

This morning a beautiful little Himalayan was sitting at the end of our garden. I'll call her Miss Pretty. She's obviously well cared for, since her huge fur coat was amazing. Sonny was sitting in the window bird watching, disgusted by the recent snowfall. When Miss Pretty moved, he spotted...

Can you handle some more gratitude? This time it's about Billy and Lily. They are two of the best cats I've ever known, and they are only with me because of you. They have some odd quirks. Some of which you know about already. Like, sleeping on their backs with paws folded. But something I may not...

Finally on Thanksgiving we got a DX - our little guy has streptococcal pneumonia with a complication of hus (hemolytic ureic syndrom) meaning his blood platelets are dangerous low and he is in acute renal failure. At the largest Children's Hospital in the world they have only ever had 14 cases of...

I know I don't post here much, but I think I could use the power of the purr here. I don't want to go into details right now, but I'm having some kinda complicated health issues and I need some resolution even if it's bad news. Thanks in advance. -- minnow ^..^
