Well, tonight's the night Vera & Lola begin relearning to eat on their own. This hand-feeding stuff has gotten out of control and i really want to begin getting them on a regular feeding schedule. So far, i'm incredibly depressed .... because they're depressed. They keep looking at me with those...

about KFC now. Not knowing where she was or what had happened would have kept me awake at night. I cannot say I am happy with the vets who saw her, they did not even have a record of who brought her in and I am livid that they did not give her a chance for an owner to come forward for her. What...

DH and I have separated, DH moved out today. The kitties and myself will be moving to western Finland, where I'll be working at the company my dad started, but my brother heads nowadays. Their customers are in the UK, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and Finland so they need someone, besides my...

For those of you who are interested, There are lots more pics of the Yowlet at my Yahoo page. Either go to http://photos.yahoo.com/yowie9644 and click on the CaryJames...

Almost half of all cats receive Christmas gifts. ( Come on admit it you know it is true ) Pouncing is powered by a cat's thighs. These muscles are so powerful that if you had a cat's thigh muscles, your thighs would be as big as your waist and you could jump from the ground to the top of a...

Could I get a personal purr or two? I'm soooo frustrated! I stupidly attempted to install a demo program yesterday that ate my hard drive...well at least most of it. The good news is I had a back up and I was preparing to move from an older computer to a new one (office system). I'm frustrated...

Persia was probably 3 years old when she adopted me. The vet guessed, based on looking at her teeth. So that would make her now 5-1/2. I've noticed when she rolls over on her back, she has grey (white-ish) fur on her belly. Her front paws also seem to be getting a tad lighter. Is my chubby...

I got this in my e-mail today..my pooter is acting crazy so this might appear twice Dear Comcast High-Speed Internet Customer: As of October 25, 2008, the complimentary Comcast Newsgroups service, powered by Giganews, will be discontinued. This feature provided customers access to 2 gigabytes of...

We need purrs. My daughter called last night and she had fainted at work, this is the second time in about 2 months. So this time they found an abnormal EKG so they admitted her. She normally has an inverted T-wave just like I do, which is usually not a big deal, except this time it was different....

Ok kids, Rob says that this is one of my best writing efforts. I;m rather proud of it, but I want your opion and/or to brag about my work. So don't be kind, tell me what you think. Pam S. Adoption Blues Nameless (any cat in a shelter): SHUT UP IN THERE!! Kittens! You’d think they were...

I have seen references in the past to a toy I FINALLY located! The battery operated ball with attached fur squirrel/raccoon/whatever. I'm having a little difficulty with the on/off switch - either it won't stay on or (once in action) doesn't want to switch off again - but Melisande LOVES it! And...

Dangit, I just checked, it wasn't Lewe. It's not Marina. And I think it's Hans but he's relatively new... Wasn't there *somebody* that lived in Norway around here??? Grace baffled and sleep deprived

Hello all, Shocking news this weekend. I was passing through the UK on the way back to Hong Kong. It seems that Min went off her food last week and was diagnosed very quickly with lymphatic cancer. She has tumours on her kidneys and probably elsewhere. The cancer is inoperable, but there is a...

Purrs once again for all in the state of Florida. This morning's forecast path for Hurricane Ivan (currently a stronger storm than either Charley or Frances) has the state in the center of a south-to-north track. They're already doing mandantory evacuations in the Florida Keys. Purrs also to...

Great news! Maybe there's more progress ahead... :) -- Victor M. Martinez http://www.che.utexas.edu/~martiv

I posted a photo of kitten No. 6 in Annie's photos in . I'm sure this one is a little girl. She looks like a shorthair to me. I'm wondering if my DD is confusing kitten fuzz with a longhair. Maybe the other kittens are not longhair after all? What do you think? Will they...

Marina wrote: There were a lot of d*gs out at the same time. Nikki mostly ignored them, but when she saw these two big shaggy things (I don't know dog breeds), she hunched down and stared at them with fascination. Suddenly she tried to set off towards them. I caught her up with the leash (I...

I have a stray cat quarantined here tonight. Long story, but the kitty has some obvious health issues and is quite thin. She has an appointment with TED tomorrow to evaluate just what is going on with her. She is a longhaired tuxedo girl and is a very sweet, affectionate cat. Unfortunately, I...

Troy Mangum wrote: Please help me. From reviewing the various websites online regarding this breed I have having trouble understanding one thing. Is this an actual hybrid between a domestic cat and a wild cat of some sort. How do Bengals differ from other domestic breeds?

Update Caley has a burn in her mouth which is treatable and is being treated :-) Thanks for all the purrs etc for Caley & Priscilla. Cheers, helen s ~~~~~~~~~~
