I seem to recall that some of the folks here have it. Could you please either post or email me privately with your experiences, resources you've found helpful, etc? I'm a little bit in shock right now and not sure how good or bad it is that I now have a name for my problem. -- monique, who...

one of the things that my spinal surgery took away was my ability to write. I can now do it, but not great yet.

I have to go to Walmart while it's still light out - only another hour or so! - and cannot remember one item I need. Help.... It's some small thing for the house (I'm pretty sure), an urgently needed thing that I keep forgetting to buy!I can't be running over to Walmart that often, and they...

Have been preoccupied, about a week, just skimming rpca. Have even whipped the Evil 3 into a frenzy of nerves here, even porker short furry people that they are, all of us anxiously awaiting word from Denver on imminent arrival of my first barekitten there.....early today - St. Paddy's (and *no...

The Golf Ball & The Sand Wedge A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in the bedroom closet. Then the woman's husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the...

I have read posts about cats on the group that are often 14 lbs up to in the 20's, particularly USA cats. Compared with this, mine are miniscule. Boyfriend is around 7-8 pounds and KFC is 4ish. They both have access to all the gooshy and dry food that they might want and catch and eat der birdies...

I am building a web site for the cat and kitten non profit rescue organisation that I foster for and am looking for some clip art. can anybody recommend some sites please. -- April :-) http://community.webshots.com/user/bowmanzoo

We experienced temps in the 30s F here in North Carolina last week. This was very uncomfortable for us all as the heater is based under the house and none of us were able to go under to make sure the pilot light was on. So we got cold. I got up in the middle of the night to shiver my way to...

One of Nikki's favourite places to go for walkies used to be a little copse beside our block of flats. Used to be. I've been too tired to go out with Nikki in the evenings after work now that I'm back at work, but yesterday I had a burst of energy, and asked Nikki if she wanted to go out. She...

We had to put Cinnamon to sleep a few days ago. He was about 17 years old, and had a tumor in his mouth. Also had kidney trouble. He wasn't eating. It was time.... He was a very friendly tabby cat. Wish cats lived longer. Now we sent him to the Rainbow Bridge where he'll feel better...

Every year, millions of day-old baby chicks are mailed via the U.S. Postal Service by commercial hatcheries and cockfighting breeders. The chicks are literally packed in boxes and sent through the mail, without food or water, and with no concern for temperature extremes. This inhumane practice...

Stinky is not well-- he is pretty much back to where he was before I started subQ with him. He is sleeping a lot, and not eating or grooming. I am going to try to get him in to see the vet-- meanwhile, we would both so appreciate your purrs. He was sitting in my lap last night, and I just...

Marina, thought of you a lot today; sending mega-purrs and hugs from us all. Christine, Omar, Midnight, Oreo, Robin & Tucker

If I wrote my autobiography, people would think it belonged in the fiction section. Not all these things could *possibly* happen to one person -- except for me. Last Monday, I stepped out into the hall to find a group of the cats surrounding something that looked to me like a weird double...

Xoxo is going to TED for a dental first thing Monday morning. Purrs would be appreciated for our old buddy to have an uneventful cleanup. Thanks. Victor -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM)

What a stitch. I have been locked up with people who are saner than this guy. The post really isn't what it appears from the subject heading. It is the delusions of someone who isn't on their medication at the moment. I'm not saying to laugh at the guy, but it is an incredible insight into just...

Is anyone else enjoying (???!!!) the latest round of ice/sleet/snow we're getting this a.m.? (I think it's headed to you, Pat, if it's not there already) I am just praying that the weather people are wrong, because they're expecting power failures statewide tonight because of ice...

The night before we became Pepper's family,s he was given a bath by the people who rescued her to get rid of most of her fleas. She certainly didn't have very many when we picked her up, but to be certain, we stopped on the way home and picked up some flea drops (for the back of the neck) from...

Saturday, the mother cat returned her kittens to the barn. My daughter found them and was able to scoop all four up and take them into the house, where they promptly went under the dresser in the kitten room. Buddy, their brother, who had been enjoying the life of a pampered cat was surprised when...

OK - as you all know, I have 4 kittens that I will be adopting out, with the help of a local rescue agency. I was wondering if any of you have any sort of Adoption Contract? One that I could maybe use and/or modify to fit my specifics? I don't want these kittens to go to just anyone, and I want...
