I *almost* had an accident yesterday but fortunately escaped. I was on the road, driving past Goodwill. A woman suddenly started backing out quickly, headed straight for me, and it was obvious that she did not see me. I hit the horn, and it would not honk, so I hit the accelerator and "just"...

Dave's mum always insists that she sends us some "scoff" for Xmas and this year she's excelled herself with a hamper of all the things we don't normally buy like cake and chocolate.....and best of all from the Fabulous Furballs' point of view.....it came in a HUGE box! Dave says they spent most of...

We picked Abelard up @ 7:30 this morning from the EVC and took him to the Whetstone Clinic in Mountain Grove to continue his IV treatment. He was sleepy when we arrived so I wrapped him in a small blanket and put him inside my coat. We sat in the back seat of the car while Dave drove. As soon as...

Another one of those clever 'talking cat' videos - this time the cat is on catnip. I love how this cat seems to chat all the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14DYUQtGuV4 -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Has anyone heard from Sherry lately? I haven't seen her post since the surgery and I'm beginning to be a bit worried. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at:

At least that's what one of my doctors said- the silly question was "What are you getting your cats for Christmas?" The difference between a cat person and a non-cat person is I didn't think it was silly at all (DaNip for Dunzi, a couple of toys for Sarsi and some ham being the answer) but he...

In this house, one often hears long, loud, drawn-out meows that sort of raise an alarm. When this happens, absent-minded fool that I am, I start worrying that someone is in pain and start checking around for the source. Usually - almost always - it will be Buzzy doing his "thing" with another...

Bonnie has been picked on by Shamrock for many years. She was a feral and Shamrock was her real first friend, but for some reason Shamrock just doesn't like her. So he chased her down relentlessly and I kept hoping she'd one day stick up for herself, even if it meant a cat fight so the two...

I spoke with Dr. Gourley (the vet in Mountain Grove) around 5 pm. She says Abelard's blood is pretty much back to normal - still just a tad high in BUN (38) and low in RBC. The RBC was in the normal range (7.2) when he was dehydrated. I would guess that all the IV liquids have thinned his blood,...

While driving around residential areas on my motorcycle I spotted a cat chasing a squirrel up a tree. The squirrel turned around after a few feet to "face off" with the cat. I stopped the motorcycle and shut it off while I watched, but never got off the bike. After about 15 seconds the cat saw...

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...

Pat has a thread called Plain and Simple, about good manners by Baby Eyes. I didn't want to exercise bad manners by bringing up Espy's bad manners in such a positive thread, so I start this one. Espy likes his Temptations. He REALLY likes his Temptations, to the point where it's going beyond...

Baby Eyes wants what her hoomins are eating, if it smells good to her. But she never begs at the table. She sits off to the side, and if we notice her staring at us, we might invite her to have a bite, and she will gently take the tidbit from your fingers. Her manner of actually asking for food is...

I think my newsgroup provider has dropped RPCA! :( Luckily I can still get it at work as we have a different internet provider there. Sheesh. Sharon & Smudgie

Since I've moved here Persia sleeps with me, yes. But she's never just slept on the bed in the master bedroom unless I was in there, too. I was on the phone with John and wondered where she was. She likes to sleep in the guest bedroom. Lately she's been sleeping more often in her little...

I finally got a place of my own after years of sharing. I could have a cat again! But when I went to the shelter I couldn't decide so I got the two cats in the same cage as they got along and would miss each other. They're 5 years old. I call the white one Bread and the orange one Marmalade...
