Shmogg is getting old. He's got the 'old cat' dimple in his haunches, even though there's still a bit of an udder down below. He spends most of his day sleeping, and has no interest whatsoever in the red greebling. Compared to IBKFergus' manic behaviour, he's pretty much a stationary object,...

Dear rpca folks, please look gently upon me, I who may seem to be an interloper and I guess am properly called a "lurker" (although I have posted just a bit here and there). I began subscribing to this newsgroup when the good folks here were on Tak's case about getting a cat. And avidly followed...

That she no longer likes her renal food. Which is brilliant because I just bought 48 pouches from the vet for her at an enormous cost on Friday!! sigh She's fed up with it, I think. She preferred to hoover up Boyfie's pouch of ordinary food salmon/trout this morning. The vet did say to me...

I was reading (lying in bed) at around 2:00pm-ish this afternoon. Of course I was surrounded by cats, and Moe was lying on top of me (in what would be my lap region if I were sitting). She did the usual turn-around-three-times-before-settling down (and I bet a lot of you thought that was a...

I have probably been reading to many scary news items. I had a nightmare Tuesday night. I was in a dark place and a dark figure approached me and got around my neck with its hands and then got face to face with me. I fought back with all my strength and finally was able to get hold of it and...

We're just over a month away from the shortest day of year here. It gets dark around 4:50 now and the sun rises at 7:50. The shortest daylight day is sunset at 4:31 and sunrise at 8:37. So, its dark and cold in the park and coyotes come right up the gates as early as supper time. Just now,...

Well, there's only one bad thing I can say about this job, and that's the long commute (an hour and a half each way). But you know what? It's not as bad as the last job which had a bit shorter commute. I've found that with this job, I'm loving my work and co-workers so much that my mood...

My birfday, 5/21. Ho hum.... Back when I was a cab driver, in 1973, I was "Car 54". Anyone remember that TV show, "Car 54, Where Are You?"

He's been out for over 24 hours. This is the first time he's stayed out all night since the weather turned crisp. He doesn't have a thick fur coat and gets cold easily. I went out and called around for him before I went to bed last night, and figured I'd find him on the sofa this morning as usual,...

I'm a bit numb. We went to the vet's and the obvious was there. I held her and she will wait for me on the other side.

we went back to the animal shelter today to visitthe furbabies and to see if there was somebody who really wanted to come home with us. And guess what? Scout and Silver mewed at us and stuck their heads out of their cage when they saw us walk in the door! of course i'm sure they did that for...

It's Frank's 17th birthday today. I made an album with a few birthday portraits: http://community.webshots.com/album/223020717nxHTFz -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and...

OK, I finaly started to carry out my promise to get my own, personal, web site up again. Although it's far, far from finished (most of the pages are still blank), I would like some feedback, if you don't mind) on the structure and design. http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ Thanks! Hugs,

I have mentioned before that there is a black neutered boycat that lives two doors away who hates Boyfriend. He is often in our garden showing off his superior age and strength, he's quite a big cat and has one of those "in yer face" personalities. He is very confident that he is just "wow!" If...

I'm going in for root canal attempt #2 at 9:15 Mountain time. It's not life-threatening or anything, but they're going to go past where the endodontist is comfortable that he can avoid accidentally puncturing the tooth. If he punctures the tooth, it will have to be extracted, but if he doesn't...

After the "Karma" post on rpch+b I got curious about *my* posting history so googled! ; I didn't realize that I had posted on rpc (before the split) so long ago. I remember a few others from back then, David Stevenson, Joy. Who else posted back then - and/or how long have you been posting...

Archer was in the garage using the litter box and I didn't know he was there. I was on my way out to the pharmacy to fill a prescription and hit the "door open" button to open the garage door. The noise scared Archer so bad he shot out of the garage at light speed. He must have hit his left...
