Dinner party dilemma (not OT) by
Susan M
Well, we're having a couple over for dinner tomorrow night. I'd like it to
be very nice since we're just getting to know them and they had us over for
an extremely lovely dinner a month ago or so.
Of course the dilemma is the dining room table. We'll have appetizers in
the kitchen and then it...

HELP! Stinky in the paint by
Kreisleriana
Well, he did it. He got into the paint. Actually, he went and jumped
up on his favorite windowsill while the paint was still wet. He got
it on his paws, his butt and tail, and made little white pawprints all
over.
So here's where I need help! How do I safely get the paint off him?
Turpentine...

Several times I've posted here at RPCA about the adventures of Mooch,
our little tuxie resident stray who shows up regularly on our veranda
for meals (see the most recent thread, "Mooch gets friendly". Someone
nicknamed "Treeline has asked several questions about him, and then
today "Lesley" in the...

[OT] Experiences with Xylitol (sugar substitute)? by
Monique Y. Mudama
Someone pointed me to Xylitol as a sugar substitute, particularly for
baking. It apparently has dental benefits and fewer calories than
sugar. This person said that she has even made a creme brule that
turned out beautifully. I think she said that, in a recipe calling
for sugar, she uses half...

Catfood - Sheba ?? by
JJ[_2_]
Our two cats, Edgar and Agatha, have always been picky eaters. They like
fish stuff, especially with gravy and cheddar in it. When they first came,
two years ago (they're brother and sister, about 4 now) we tried Fancy Feast
and quickly discovered that if it was "classsic" (pate), they looked...

Another copy-cat by
[email protected]
I love how cats imitate the positions of those (other felines, humans,
dogs, whomever) around them:

Lester - Thursday Update by
Arthur Shapiro
Appreciate all the concern, folks...this is a fairly serious sickness.
Got to the vet last night with little trouble, somewhat surprisingly, and
received lessons on tube-feeding. Got him home by about 7 pm. He was fairly
teetery, but staggered to his favorite coverered litter box, got...

OT - The Turtle by
Magic Mood Jeep©
Last week I wrote about how DH saved a chipmunk from certain death on the
side of the road.
Yesterday, we were able to save a turtle from death as it crossed a road.
We were driving along, less than a mile from our home, when DH starts
cursing, swerves and pulls over to the side of the road (I...

I have to say "NO" by
jmcquown[_2_]
My neighbor, owned by Fedders (RB) and Schwartzie, called to ask if I
could take care of Schwarty (nickname) while she's gone for a week and a
half, maybe two.
She's moving! Putting her house up for sale and scouting an area closer
to her son, DIL and grandkids.
The problem is, he's a...

OT... a happy bunny by
wafflycat
There was I, curled up on the sofa, with cat curled up on my lap, doing what
any self-respecting cycling fan does at this time of year... I'm ogling the
Lycra-clad, pert, muscular, perfectly-toned rear ends of the men on carbon
and aluminium as they cycle the latest stage of Le Tour de France....

Coyote Scare by
Will in New Haven
I was bringing the dogs out for their walk the other morning and it
was not quite dawn and raining, not great visibility. However, the
dogs alerted me that something was going on. Samantha, the Shi Tzu
puppy, was barking in a hostile manner that I have seldom heard from
her before and Bear, the...

Rabies Shots by
Sharon
Is there a rabies vaccination for cats that lasts longer than a year?
I thought there was a 3 or 5 year vaccination. The local vet says
no. This is for a feral cat that is really hard to catch on a yearly
basis!
Thanks!

Trying to catch a stray - Update #2 - GOT HIM !!!!! by
Susan M[_3_]
Hi the
I caught poor kitty this afternoon. He'd had two cans of cat food in
rapid succession and I put the trap by the hole under my porch where I'd
been feeding him. He went for the tuna and the trap snapped shut. He
was cold and desperate I think. Moved quite slowly the last time I...

Best Friends - OT by
O J
Hi All,
This message from my friends in the Tampa, Florida area does mention
their pets, but it's still OT. The gentleman is my best friend of
some thirty years and after he and the lady married, she became best
friends with DH independently of the two men. It can be scary to
watch Lynda and...

Intro and Purrs Request by

Howdy! We've had Tyler (or is that the other way 'round) our cat Tyler
for about 1.3 years now. He was 6 months old(ish) when we got him from
an adoption agency that rescues cats from kill shelters (or wherever!).
He's white, with brown/black markings on his head, parts of his ears,
