Little Delta needs your purrayers please... she went to what was supposed to be her forever home the other day, and John just had to go and pick her up from the vet tonight - somebody who was supposed to love her didn't :( She's going to be living with John now (along with the three foster cats he...

Well, it's actually on Tuesday, but DJ got me my prezzy early: A dishwasher! He asked me a month ago what I wanted, and I'd been thinking and doing some 'online window shopping'. Well, yesterday, (Sat 1/10/04), we got up early and went to one of the local home improvement warehouses (this one...

*tears* I'm crying because a cat lost her one true love. How "group-ish" is that and who else on this blessed earth would understand it and NOT be a member here already? This story is right up there with Shakespeare :) How beautiful Catherine. Grace "CATherine"...

I love how cats imitate the positions of those (other felines, humans, dogs, whomever) around them: http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2009/01/cat-and-baby.html -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.)

When our kitties decide to "become bad" and "get" us, we know that they usually turn sideways and hunch up, or as my friend calls it, becoming a "witch kitty". Then they will likely run and paw at us, then dash off into the other room, daring us to follow, at our peril. Well, my big 19-pound...

Hi, folks Boyfriend found out that Kitty FC was famous with her pic on rpca, and he wanted to be famous too. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to hack it. Faced with the camera, and still uncomfortable with being held, he wanted to get down. He is still shy. That's the first pic. The second is of...

First time I've encountered this with Buffy. I don't know what got into her last night. We were asleep. She was on the bed next to me. At around 1AM she started meowing. I immediately woke up and asked, "What's wrong, girl?" I gave her some scritches and she settled down again. No sooner...

When i discovered this group an d got to know all the good people here,, I hoped it would be a long time before i needed to come to you wiuth the grievous news that one of our little ones has left us. A long, LONG time. Not so. Our dear Dolly, our Odessa went into sudden respiratory failure...

If anyone is interested, there is a very good video that has just been posted of Fritz "The Brave" having an asthma attack. I didn't know the symptoms of asthma when Sam first presented. After about 1 1/2 weeks of his coughing I took him to the vet and my description was "that he looked like he...

Real Life has swallowed me whole lately, but we have been sending purrs out into the aether to be distributed as needed by the mothership, and will continue to do so. Hubert has decided that dishtowels do not belong on the oven door. They just don't. He's very businesslike about it; he'll walk...

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!

My brother's elderly Siamese kitty Samantha has always been fond of sleeping, and it's not unusual for her to stay in bed for 12 hours at a time. But yesterday and today things hit a new peak. Yesterday Samantha spent all day sleeping on the front porch. This morning the county animal control guy...

Hi, I am Syl. I am a B/W kept inside the little condo of my Mom and her family's. She adores me to the death and often gets too much and I run away. It got to be obvious that I am the second generation with this name, and my Mom lost the kittie who lived for over 18 years with her about a couple...

....have it sitting here next to me on the couch, and still can't grab it up quick enough to get snapshots and video of the masters' playing. Of course, first I have to find my glasses so I can actually *see* the phone and spend ten minutes looking for them before DH tells me they're on my...

I don't think Nikki likes Frank's singing voice. http://tinyurl.com/objd -- Marina

Anyone wake up in the morning or come home to bird feathers in the shower, or worse yet bird beaks, legs, feathers and guts on the carpet? Our cats are the best fed cats in Oklahoma, but they still love to have a good ole' bird murder weekly. We sometimes catch them and pry the bird out of...

Beast stopped eating the day after we arrived back in PA, Tuesday, his yowling went harsher and when yesterday he wouldn't even sniff the sausage patty brought home from breakfast - it was as though he waited to get "home". His cairn is just a step from Max's. I'm surprised at the depth of...

I don't get it. Are kids like dogs? LOL It's all over the news that there is a frequency that kids can hear and most adults cannot. It was said that when it was discovered, the tone was used in a store somewhere in Europe that had a teen population that the proprietors didn't want loitering, so...

A new neighbour came around to discuss something earlier. She saw Lily. After looking at her, and then at HRFL who deigned to come and inspect her, she said that she wouldn't have cats with only one eye, and she though I was nuts to have them when there were so many other *more perfect looking*...

Hi the I was out in the backyard trying to plant when the cats, particuarly Chester, started being crazy. They were running around chasing each other and then Chester climbed the chainlink fence and finally, the huge ornamental crabapple, currently in blossom. He had a big fall from...
