Once again we have a couple of inches of snow on the ground, and once again Norfolk grinds to a halt with hundreds of school closures. Grrr... Anyhow, the cats are much fascinated by the sight of the birds in the garden hopping about in the snow picking up the food I leave out for them. Great...

Hello group, I'm about to head out the door for two weeks in Sweden. Purrs, prayers, headbuts, and congratulations in advance as needed. Rosie and Cinder have done their duty to coat the baggage in cat hair. Rosie used the excuse of a hug to decorate my shirt. It will be interesting to see the...

"badwilson" wrote in message ... Hmmm, Vino is a male cat with such an oral fixation! It all starts off as harmless back foot cleaning. Then he really gets into it. Stretches all his toes out as far apart as they will go, really gets in...

I'm sorry that I haven't answered your responses to my post about Sam before now. Things keep going haywire in my day and I can't get caught up. I can't get connected at night because I'm still using a modem and my telephone has a lot of static. So I try to get caught up during the day, but hey,...

We call some people "feline". For me that's a great compliment, and makes me wonder if you'd like to say who you think is the most feline male and female human you know or have heard about. There are lots of choices - for instance, all the actresses who've played Catwoman over the years. For many...

Last night I found the cat curled up on my mom's purse.

Little Rhett took a little toy out of the "toybox" (just an old unused cat bed that I throw toys in when I vaccum) and dropped it at Shamrock's feet and then went back to the business of playing on the cat tree. Shamrock looked at it, looked at him, then batted at it a couple of times. It was like...

It's taken what... going on 3 years? Persia hates her paws to be touched. It's perfectly okay for her to drape her paws over my hand but for me to attempt to caress or hold a paw - NO. Well. In the last couple of days, not only has she let me hold her paws, front or back... she's sort of placing...

In the hope that Rescue Remedy would help with Grizzys howling and the constant interruption of my sleep, i have been putting it in their water bowl daily. The end result - the water bowl is being drunk completely every 36 hours or so. Grizzy is staying quiet all night although it has to be on...

It's so funny... I can call Persia to pounce on, play with or otherwise bother any little bug that gets in my house. Last night I was in the bathroom and saw a silverfish in the bathtub. "PERSIA! Come here!" She came running. Meow? I tapped the tub. She jumped up, saw the bug... got into the...

Of course I did. I sstill have Alexandra upstairs in the Kitty Rescue Room, awaiting her March 8th date to go to the shelter. So last night, DH opens the door, and there on the porch is a little white kitten. Friendly. What am I to do? Not gonna leave the filthy little thing (grease or...

Last night, I prepared to change the light bulb in the hallway. I set up a ladder under the lamp, turned away to get the new light bulb, and turned around to this. http://tinyurl.com/2kdwv -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at...

I finally managed to get an old win 98 laptop running and get it to take a thumbdrive after a day long fight and so was able to get some recent pictures of Bruiser off the camera. I posted six of them to the pictures newsgroup.

We're in the process of moving from our house in one state to an apartment in another state while we wait for our new condo to be built. Going from an 2000 sq. ft house to a 1200 sq. ft condo (and I get twice the mortgage for almost half the space) has been interesting-- had to either throw away a...

Do any of you use metal bowls to feed outside cats? We are currently using those disposable plastic bowls to feed Tiger at the office; I was thinking of getting some metal bowls to use instead, but wonder if they'll get too hot in the summer? They will be in the shade, but it does get *mighty*...

A survivor kitty who was rescued from four abusive vermin is in need of some major purrs. This news article has some pretty upsetting details in it, but it also has an address where people can send donations to the medical fund to assist her recovery. I'll copy and paste those details here,...
