Most of you know I often have trouble sleeping. Last night I slept just fine! even though I woke up several times during the night. Persia was being extra cuddly. I was awakened by a gentle tap on my shoulder. I rolled over and she was standing there, purring up a storm. I patted her and gave...

Hi all I was reading Kelly's email about her wonderful friend who needed some purrs and it got me thinking about something which I am sure everyone has encountered- "Cat lovers" Now I don't mean the slaves gathered on this list but people who make that claim and then come out with things that...

* * * * * * * * * A cat in England was barred from the funeral chamber where her beloved mistress was being mourned. In her grief, outside the door the cat placed a bird--the only gift of farewell she knew how to give. * * * * * * * * * Firefighters at the scene of a burning building were so...

My dark calico cat Thalia has found a new favorite place: inside my paper shredder! She has jumped in several times over the last two or three days. http://members.cox.net/mybrainhurts/images/ThaliaInShredder.jpg This really isn't the best place for a kitty, and it's also quite difficult for her...

And there are some good ones, including a perfect capture of "The Ear" (Pearl was getting tired of me pointing a camera at her.) "http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kchuplis/detail?.dir=6f7c&.dnm=4d26.jpg&.src= ph" or http://tinyurl.com/7ygno

Today, Jeff and I put the harness on Robin and headed for Denver to visit Hopitus and Maluce and BTRowdy! Robin settled on the back seat and mewed softly for several miles. After about 20 miles, Jeff leaned his seat back to nap. He naps any chance he gets. Robin got quiet and then suddenly Jeff...

Hmm, if this goes twice, I'm sorry. Got a server error. Have photos of the ferals that are around, I think the others are camera shy ;). http://tinyurl.com/6wpeq Li'l Bit appears to be expecting, she's two or three weeks along. I'm trying acclimate her to the house, since there is a...

I don't actually celebrate Easter but what the heck, spring is here. I have 2 large lamb shanks, thawed. I have 2 nice large leeks. I have white button mushrooms. I have garlic. I have onion. I have white wine. I have chicken broth. Here's the method (not really a recipe): Sprinkle the the...

Someone asked a while back if I could get a side by side picture of my cats for size comparison. Well, I could only get two of them together - the biggest and the smallest... http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/BigLittle/ -- Hugs, CatNipped

First, Tennessee gets a cold. Has to take Amoxicillin drops 2x daily. We isolated him (against his wishes) in the bathroom, with food, water & his own private litterbox. He complained the whole time he was in there, especially when it was time for the meds as he hates them. Amoxicillin is the...

I've finally scanned nine recent pictures of my four-footed family, and uploaded them to my Yahoo photo album. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/prince_nigel_h/album?.dir=11f2&.src=ph The ninth picture I must explain is a snapshot taken of my birthday cake from last month. Knowing how nuts about...

Rosie has decided that Jim needs supervision when he works on his projects in the garage. Jim leaves the garage door open for light and ventilation while he works out there. Rosie has started hanging out in the driveway out front while he works, not minding the noise from the power saw and other...

Thursday we did Cosmo's fluids, and it was a disaster. I must have been sloppy with the needle or something, because he tried really hard to get away from DH's hold, and was growling at us. And it took forever, so there must have been a crimp in the line I didn't notice. I cried and thought "I...

Thank you all so much for your good wishes, I feel relieved knowing so many people who understand how worrying things like this can be. Sesame has an overactive thyroid and is in the early stages of kidney failure. Not surprising considering her age. We have some meds for the thyroid and some food...

Well, I made the aforementioned AHA recipe, honey-roasted chicken, for dinner. We used regular teriyaki because we couldn't find low-sodium stuff in the store. (I know you can make it yourself, but I wasn't all that concerned.) Chicken was yummy. DH prepared some understated green beans that were...

Put the new dishwasher on before going to bed and found the kitchen floor covered with water this morning - it is the second time it has done this and is still under guarantee, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. What has this to do with Bonnie you might ask. She was asleep in the carry cat box next to the...

Hi all Yes today Redunzel and Sarrasine are two years old!!!! I sang them "happy birthday" at breakfast but they're more interested in breakfast! Tonight I have a new mousie for them but I bet they prefer the wrapping paper! Lesley Slave to the Fabulous Furballs
