I was web-surfing early this afternoon and ran across a web page full of cat facts. I won't steal them all, but I can't resist sharing a few of them. My own comments appear in parentheses. "Sir Isaac Newton is not only credited with the laws of gravity but is also credited with inventing the cat...

The vet just called and Annie does have SCC. She's going to try and get me in to see their specialist tomorrow, just to see all the options. I doubt that I will take any drastic measures. I'll probably keep her as comfortable as I can until it's no longer in her best interest to keep her...

My son's cat, Taffy (my grandcat) is in need of some medical purrs. She has an abscess on her side that just broke open and drained. The vet debrided the wound, cleaned it out good, gave her antibiotics and said she would be fine, but I know she's probably in a lot of pain and could use some...

I'm again, asking for purrs. My Barnabus has to see TED today. I think he's trying to pass blood in his urine (he's a bashful box user, so we can't always tell with him). I'm hoping it's a bladder infection, the alternative is something I can't cope with. I know the power of the purr, as you...

Spoke with Dr. Boggs today. Basho's kidney values are less than they were yesterday, but still above normal. Overall she's pleased with his progress. He's been on IV fluids yesterday and today and he gets some sub-Q fluids before heading home. She's going to teach us (me more likely) how to do...

My brother and I went to the local RSPCA animal shelter today to look at ferret friends for Gertie. We were introduced to a very friendly big albino boy with red eyes called Barney, who was a bit put out at being woken up. He was gorgeous. He was built like a brick out house, and about twice the...

Thank you for pointing this out. I have used them before, but they would make my budget go further right now when I really need it. And it is high quality food for anyone who has doubts. I always enjoyed what I got when I was using them. Bridget "Matthew" ...

I recently changed my email on my Google account. Next thing what happened is that my name isn´t shown anymore when I post a message to the group. It shows onmly my new email address. Strange. I tried to change that on my profile but there was no possibility to do that. Maybe someone here knows...

In One of Mark's posts I suggested that he receive the "Dave Yehuddah voice of un-reason RPCA award" for his work. Either that or time in a drug re-hab. Use your imagination and suggest awards for various excellence in RPCA submissions. I'll start with: Dave Yehuddah voice of un-reason...

Well that's how it would read if cats had their own TripAdvisor... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-36528195 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-36558647 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : ...

Maybe I've mentioned a few times before that Caliban is a Food Hound. It must be hard for a FH to live with a vegetarian hoomin, but Caliban has adapted wonderfully. You'd think I could have my vegetarian dishes in peace, but Caliban is of the opinion that a FH's duty is to beg for their...

Nancy has an interview Thursday morning in Ames. It would be a bit of a commute for her (about an hour each way), but it sounds like it could be a job she would enjoy. Then next week she has an interview here in town with a financial services company for a job. Good luck purrs would be...

Every night in this desert-like climate, I put thick Carmex lip balm on my dry lips and crawl into bed. Every night, Otis circles around, and settles with his shedding fur onto my tacky lips. Tarred and feathered lips every night ;-) Every night, Otis waits until we settle down in bed, jumps...

I've mentioned before about how we feed some neighborhood strays in addition to our own indoor crew. Shorty and Calicat have been regular visitors, with Calicat dropping by every morning and evening for food and pets. For the last month or so we've been seeing a new visitor - a black kitty I have...

Tak, How are you doing today? {{{HUGS}}} Helen M --

This story was run in my area paper today. Thought some folks might find it interesting. When pets die at the vet, grieving owners call lawyers By Laura Parker, USA TODAY The patient had dental surgery, there were complications, and he died. Now his family members are accusing the doctor of...

Sending purrs to anyone in need lately. DH and I have been battling the flu bug and I'm not quite up to wading through all the messages yet. I've scanned for purr requests and asked my group to send them as needed. I've been wanting to share with you the latest Barnabus escapades and will have to...

I have been quite ill over the last few days......flu kinda thing, coughing and sniffling a lot and generally feeling miserable. Last night I was coughing quite a lot, Gizmo was sitting on my lap (providing healing purrs), everytime I coughed she would meow, even if she was asleep. AND, I don't...

The day before Dennis left to go back to work, he decided to buy some new furniture for us. They are delivering it today. We got one of those Chinese step cabinets and we're going to use it for the TV, stereo and all that stuff. So, since Dennis has been gone for 3 days, I had to empty the old...
