Hello everyone; my name is Mike. Flippy found me hanging out in another cat group and invited me to stop in here, so; here I am. I live in Kentucky, in the USA, and although I hold the mortgage and am the bringer of feasts, there is a cadre of cats that live here that won't let me forget who's...

For the last two days it's been 112 or higher - that's 44 C. Inside the house it's 91. At least it does stay a little cooler indoors. Most of the cats are flat. I repeat the song I composed a few years back about the tomcats: We're the Flat Boys We forgot all about our toys

Hi all. My boss's wife has a long history of poor health, including cancer, lupus and endimetriosis. They've been married for 23 years and have weathered every storm together. They now have two adopted children, ages 12 and 13, as well as 4 dogs and 5 cats! Anyway, she has been bad again lately...

Our precious baby, Seth (used to be called Cajun), is spending Christmas at the vet's office, awaiting the results of an FIP test. We won't know anything until Monday. Any purrs you can spare for this sweet little soul will be appreciated. Nina in Texas, enslaved by: Snickelfritz (RB), Pixel...

I have a cousin who is a nurse and she sent me 30 ways to know you are a nurse. Some funny ones but didn't figure most would want mt to post it here.

Hi, my name is Sir Weeble Wobblybottom, but most of you know me as Weeble, and this is my story as best as I can remember it. Mommy thinks I'm napping, so don't tell her that I'm used her pooter ;) I'm a year old now, and I don't remember much about my early days - Mommy tells me I was only as big...

We will be travelling for about two weeks in December and our three cats will have to go to a boarding kennel. It almost brings me to tears thinking about this because I know they will be so unhappy, but it's the only option. They are inside/outside cats and love to go out at night to hunt in...

I made a tuna/asparagus/cheese pie topped with mashed potato today for my dinner tonight. Kitty sat on the arm of my chair begrudging me every mouthful. I told her to go and eat the food she'd already got in her bowl and didn't give her any. Now I feel guilty. I would never allow my dogs to beg...

It is with great joy that I announce the newest addition to the household. Her name - just recently decided - is Matareka, which means charming, cheerful and loving. All of which describe her to a tee. She is mostly tabby but is while along the legs and on the stomach and around the neck. I had...

While searching for a cat poem ("This Old Cat"), I found the most amazing website: http://www.catquotes.com/ There are many more things than just the quotes. I have seem many of these before, but many of them are new to me.

Hi Guys'n'Gals Hoping to see lots of tips & hints on better hoolikittening come in now we're up & running. I mentioned yesterday how I was tricking the senior cats into giving me double helpings of dinner. Sometimes that isn't quite enough so I try to help myself while they're still chowing down...

It's Thanksgiving and I wanted a nice peaceful day to enjoy my family, friends, and good food. Background.... DH, Ben, has been going out 3 or 4 times every evening to "take a walk". I was suspicious, because this is a man who is far, far,*FAR* from slim, likes to eat chocolate éclairs and...

Hello Everyone, I'm new here, thought I'd give it a try - need some cheering up, as much as the cats excell at this, some human comfort would be welcome too. I am crazy about cats, all have been rescues, I can not fault them - the only time I'm unhappy with them is when they fall sick. So, at most...

http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050821/LIVING/508210366 I read 99% of the story, but here are some 'highlights' You might be a rude person if . . . .. . . you charge onto the elevator before others get off. .. . . you begin an apology with, "I'm sorry if you were offended."

It's 11 at night here. There's a raging thunderstorm outside. It's Nathan's birthday - the front door bell went as the parents of one of Nathan's mates turned up to collect her son. It is *evil* out there. Cue one very wet, very cold, very bewildered dog on my doorstep! The dog has a name tag on -...

Over three days B and C have developed a fixation with the ceiling in the corner of the lounge. At first I thought they were looking at a creepy crawly of some kind - and then I heard it, scuffle, scuffle, munch, munch, rattle rattle. Rats!!!!!!! We have never had a rat in our house and never...

Good news: They are so TINY!!! each of them are the size of my foot, and i'm a size 6 1/2. One is black and white with a tiny tux and gloves thing going. The other is orange and white with a little bit of tabby stripes. and they have such TINY little tails and their eyes are a little bluish. ...

We got the Aussie visa! Hip, hip, hooray!!! I can't believe it, just opened the email first thing this morning, same as every other morning, and there it was! I started bawling and Vino couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I had to dance around the house with him while bawling and I got...

I've not updated about KFC for a while now. She's doing really well atm. She will not eat anything except "real chicken" unfortunately - I worry about feeding her exclusively on her "ultimate favourite food" as there will be nothing to tempt her if she deteriorates again, and I do wish I could...

I don't really believe in an afterlife, but if there is one, I hope Nikki is now young and healthy and breathing freely, hunting voles on an eternal summer island. Nikki came to me in October 1988 as a fiesty little girl, who immediately took over the house and made Frank her adoptive mummy....
