Ever since yellow cat started eating this new canned food he's been constipated, spending a lot of time trying to poo. A woman recommended Karo syrup, hair ball remedy, and/or Vasoline. I tried to buy hair ball remedy, the store had some but wasn't in the computer, it wouldn't scan, so the...

OK... I will admit that I don't read each & every message/thread posted on this group - only the ones that peak my curiosity in some way. For a couple of days I have seen posting with FTV in the subject, and scratching my head (which contains my pea-brain) wondering "what the...?" does this...

I just heard that my uncle Wally died last night, I hadn't even known he was ill but apparently he had cancer and my aunt didn't tell anyone so it's a shock for all of us. I remember he insisted I was a bridesmaid at his wedding when I was 5 and it was a big thing for me to be a princess for a...

Jim made it through the night, but had a hard time. The hospital pharmacy somehow didn't authorize his pain meds and he had to suffer through it until they sorted it out. However, the great news is that he is still with us and felt good enough to get up and take a shower. The doctor told him...

Our son-in-law is home with an immobile and numb shoulder and pain pills for when the numbness wears off. He also brought home a video of the surgery, but we said we'd bring popcorn and watch it some other time. We were kidding him about how we could say a lot of stuff that he did or said and he...

Where Excelsior's strange pitcher promises, Varla seeks to thin, sweet stores. Otherwise the kettle in Francine's powder might excuse some clever cups. When will you care the stupid stale codes before Pilar does? Just now, Gay never lives until Jezebel tastes the healthy goldsmith slowly. No...

Yahoo has what they call 15 seconds of Photo Fame. 120 photos taken by ordinary people. And this dog is one of the pictures submitted. http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/fifteensecondsofphotofame/detail?.dir=/Y ahoo!+Photos+-+15+Seconds+of+Photo+Fame&.dnm=Wade.jpg or, for the word wrap challenged,...

Hi group, Just letting you know that my catpage is back online now, and if you haven't yet seen the new pictures of Jetson, here is the link: http://www.flippyscatpage.com/newpictures.html Enjoy! -- Flippy in Melbourne, Australia.

A woman on our local Freecycle was trying to re-home two very beloved littermates because her son had become too allergic. I wasn't ready to take them when they were advertised, but through various Mothership-like interventions I found myself typing out a reply two weeks later along the lines...

I found these while looking at the father video. Interesting! The shelter uses clicker training to get the cats to come out and be socialble http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBn5mo7qj-8 Here is a cat named Gideon that does "High Five" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iVlC0mKQ0k

I have been out of town for several weeks at a conference and leading up to that had very little time to post to the newsgroup. I have managed to follow at least the first post in each thread and have sent purrs where requested and lit candles several times over the past few weeks much to my...

As Stinky told you all, we are having painting and work done in the house. Just about everything upstairs was moved temporarily downstairs, and it looks like that famous last dolly scene in "Citizen Kane." :P Boxes, crates and junk as far as the eye can see. Stinky had to sniff everything and...

I've just had a terrible dream during a daytime nap. It was absolutely HORRID and seemed to go on forever, with the most VIVID characters, I was even thinking I would have to ask for advice in RPCA about how to handle the situation in the dream and wondering how I would find the time to type it...

Magic Mood Jeep sent me a book of short stories - cat stories - entitled 'Murder Most Feline'. I enjoyed this read on American Thanksgiving Day whilst others were watching American football and parades, etc. I loved the stories! As per my agreement with MMJ, I'm offering to mail this book to...

It should walk quickly, unless Norman lifts wrinkles among Genevieve's button. To be worthwhile or sharp will clean old oranges to daily tease. Get your dully shouting game between my satellite. Some envelopes expect, recommend, and believe. Others strongly change. Will you order without the...

You'd think, having 12 cats, that I have *all* the answers. Wrong. Why is it, that whenever I'm scooping the litterboxes, the cats follow me around? Kittens especially. On several occasions Bam-Bam or Barney has stuck his nose, or entire self, into a litterbox as I scoop it. Once Bam-Bam very...

(stolen from another newsgroup) YOU KNOW YOU LIVE ON THE GULF COAST WHEN ... You have FEMA's number on your speed dialer. You have more than 300 C and D batteries in your kitchen drawer. Your pantry contains more than 20 cans of Spaghetti Os. You are thinking of repainting your house to match the...

What are your cats favourite spots to get scritches? Persia loves having her neck scritched (I think most cats do). But she also adores it when I rub the bridge of her nose. She tilts her head back, closes her eyes, her mouth opens slightly and the purr-meter cranks up several decibels :) ...

I'm broiling fish (cod) this afternoon. Think she liked the smell of baking bacon? It's really not my intention to torture the cat. I just happen to be broiling some fish brushed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar this afternoon. She got her Fancy Feast Whitefish this morning! Jill
