One of the commercials I don't mute is the one with the Tuxedo kitty playing the piano, and humming ...that ad will make me smile :) It's for Meow Mix...love it. Kyla

I hadn't realized quite how much of my reading ability isn't so much in interpreting printed words as in interpreting patterns. I usually get a large wall calendar every year from a friend in Australia, and every year I put it up in my office. This year, I rapidly discovered Something was...

we have just gone through another round of computer hell. one of the cats jumped on my acer aspire and broke the screen, no prroblem as i use a text to speech screen reader, until it messed up ... again dh plugs in an auxilary monitor... but it has crashed, well crap, i have already deleted...

Nasty weird smells can come from other things too. Years ago, during summer months, I noticed a nasty smell every evening on my front patio. I hunted and looked everywhere for several weeks with no success. Finally, It occurred to me that it only came in the evening when the patio lights...

Most of my cats have been inside all week due to cold weather, but some of them were going out for short periods. It snowed last night, and a few minutes afo I checked for tracks near the back steps (from where they can access the flap): one set. As I was typing that, Curly came in cold and wet,...

I just discovered this sort of by accident and thought some folks here might appreciate the info. Sometime in the last couple of years I bought a bottle of GABA, and I took it faithfully, *with meals*, daily, for quite some time, and then I guess the bottle got lost and I didn't take it for a...

In bitterly cold weather, if you have outdoor electricity you might consider leaving a heating pad outdoors in a sheltered area for stray and feral cats. That kind act could mean the saving of a cat's life. In fact, more people should provide shelter and heat as well as food for the ferals. I love...

He's at the vet, he's been losing weight and not eating well. Hopefully, the problem is "teeth related" and getting them cleaned will fix him up. But he's 15+ years old now, so it may be something more serious. -- Nik Simpson

Brought mischief back to TED to get those lymph nodes checked and i'm glad to find out that they are seemingly back to normal. However, another thing has me and the vet puzzled. Mischief has been showing signs of trouble with her balance the last few months. She doesn't want to jump anymore and...

They have just executed a Brit got bringing in drugs and he has bi-polar and allegedy he was told he was going there to be a pop star. I don't know if that's true, but we are now zilch with China. Tweed

About two weeks ago we had a roto-rooter guy out as I've had to about once a year to get rid of the tree roots that have grown into the drain under the house + driveway. Three days later, the shower and toilet in the north bathroom overflowed. I tried using a plunger on the commode and the...

I just had the most rattling thing happen with the cats. You know Bootsie. She's the alpha. She occasionally hisses and even jumps on *all* the other cats. Usually it's Biskit, who runs from her. Sometimes even Frank, who is her best buddy. But tonight Bosley was just sitting in the doorway to my...

Winter weather - ah yes. Our kitties have given up any interest in the outdoors this winter. Today is supposed to be warmer than we've seen in a while - it is currently 5 F (-15 C) and supposed to get up to 18 F (-8 C). We're expecting more snow today, then by the weekend we're expecting daily...

"Christina Websell" wrote in message ... Well, we do get snow and ice in the UK, but not usually for such a long period of time and not so much. It's been down to -8C regularly at night so I've kept Boyfriend inside...

Late last night, I heard a series of loud thumps and yowls. Since I have cats, I didn't assume I had burglars and call 911; I went to investigate. Everything seemed normal. Sammy as usual trotted up with an air of innocent enquiry, waving his tail in the air. Since there were no burglars and no...

Well, actually a shrew or a vole (mouse sized, charcoal gray in color, stubby tail, tiny almost non-existent eyes)... And we're not sure that Ping actually caught it, but he was the last cat seen with it while it was still alive, then 5 minutes layer we found it, rather dead. -- -- ^..^...

It's a few days early but I didn't want to forget. On January 6th, 2001 Persia came up to my back door and demanded I let her inside. She just stood at the door and yowled. She absolutely refused to leave. I was living in west Tennessee at the time and as dusk approached the temperatures...

Ever since I moved in here, the top left drawer of my desk has been devoted to a cat. I'm surprised the manufacturers of desks don't include this feature! It started as a way to encourage the late Mandy from spending her supervisory time on top of the keyboard. It's always left open, with a...
