Otis normally ignores the TV, including any sounds from it apart from whistling (we have to turn the sound down for the Xfiles theme tune - he goes into attack mode). My old cat Thomas (don't ask!) used to sit on top of the set when snooker was on and try to paw the balls. Anyway, this morning I...

When I got up from my nap today, I couldn't find Rusty. He was in his room, aka the atrium, when I went to bed. He likes to sunbath there. I thought he may be sleeping in his carrier, but it is empty. When I opened the door to his room, I found him sitting in a box of old newspaper waiting for the...

Hi All, I just happened to be looking in the right direction at the right time to see the 'sucky monster' try to eat my boy Smokey. He made a leap from the back of the couch to the rolling bar and missed. OK, no big deal! He missed by enough that he didn't land on his back or anything, just...

Well this afternoon I took little Bunbun over to PACT. Bunbun is safely in a hutch until Bunbun has a myx..however it's spelled... jab and then Bunbun will be released in the wildlife area of the sanctuary Cheers, helen s

Now I know my cats are weird! I swear on my mother's dentures that I shut off the idiot box before going to work today. We were watching CNN. I shut it off and tossed the remote on the loveseat. When Louie came home the TV was on, and set to CNBC. I NEVER watch CNBC, aka the Stockbroker Channel....

......to think that studying for finals is more important than the QUEEN!!!! i managed to study for a good 4 hours today wihtout any "help" but now MIschief has woken from her nap and is protesting that I'm neglecting my slave duties. So she "helps"...

Such a fearless little thing! She'll wrestle with anyone who will take her on. Billy, at about 12X her size, has been extremely considerate, but her favorite is Abelard, who is only about 4X bigger. Each night they romp & wrestle for hours. It's great entertainment! Good for Abelard to finally have...

My brain is tired from studying. But I managed to drag myself up and haul myself to my Small Animal Nursing lab practical, worth 50 points 25 multiple choice - Very easy, I only can pray that her lecture final is this easy. Station 1- IV Catheter placement - 5 pts - I think I did okay on...

This is the poor mommy-dogs third litter in 4 years for a total of 33 puppies. I was horrified! Why don't they spay her? The receptionist whispered to me "She gets $250 per puppy because they are pure-bred miniature dachs." Oh well, that makes it okay then. NOT. The receptionist is as...

Francis... that cat of mine that's supposed to be NotOfThisWorld if a certain vet had his way... the cat with CRF... Francis has decided to cast his opinion on what I've been feeding him: by catching his own. About an hour ago I heard squeals and crashing noises in the dining room. I rushed to...

Bert is a great cat. Bertha, upon initial faulty inspection by me...changed after vet's examination. No balls? Q - I see no pics posted here, tho it's a hugely popular site. What's etiquette...give a link to pics? Tho black cat is hard to see:) Brad

The march cat photos are online in the usual place. Lots of photos of the girls playing this month, and also some of me and John - I forced them to accept a 'portrait shot' :) They've grown so much! -- ~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of...

http://users.snowcrest.net/cafemocha/images/Cat%20Hello.gif The enclosed cartoon is a favourite Bonnie posture and the fly screen doors are pitted and torn. Further Bonnie antics include - peeing on the tin foil tray covering the sink. Opening the sliding doors to the lounge which I used to...

Well, we've got as far as knowing that she weighs about 3 kg. We took her in yesterday to be tested for FeLV and FIV. But the language emanating from such a little cat was so appalling, that the vet declined to deal with her - she made several swipes at him and his staff, and appeared to really...

I like to bring home abandoned and thrown away things from work. I'm a terrible packrat. Most of the things I bring home are things like cardboard cartons I use for storage, bits or complete pieces of equipment I like to tinker with, (I'm very god at repairing small machines, etc. ) and other...

I thought you might be interested in this HSUS campaign to protect wild horses from slaughter. Wild horses were protected from slaughter for years, but this protection was stripped by a stealth change in the law last year. More than 40 wild horses have already been sold and slaughtered. The House...

Just wondering because it hasn't had any replies... Here's my favourite photo of the bunch - Scouty lying on the desk and lazily reaching out for the camera strap. http://client.webshots.com/photo/313527214/348407262luKfzT -- ~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials...

I don't know what's better: being purred to sleep by the rumbling motor that is Brandy, or being awakened by the rumbling motor that is Brandy. She's grown into a huge cat, easily 14 pounds, with huge paws and tail, and a purr that can be measured on the Richter scale. When she joins me in bed and...
