Persia Antics by
jmcquown[_2_]
Persia jumped up on her "kitty cradle" on the short cat-tree for the
first time in months. I gave her lots of scritches and hugged her and
she purred and talked to me. Then I grabbed the camera. She stayed
where she was but was looking away from me. No, we want to see your
face! Look at...

Fedders Still Missing by
jmcquown[_2_]
It seems most of the neighborhood was out looking for Fedders last
night. Before it got dark, Lynn rode her bike around the block, calling
for him. She sent a notice to the island listserv saying her little
black kittie was missing, that he was sick and had shaved paws from
where he'd had an...

This frigid weather (low teensand low tens) made me think of the poem "The Cremation of Sam McGee).

Senyah has gone over the edge by
Mark Edwards
Okay, Senyah has officially gone bonkers.
I walk into the kitchen, and she is cooking up scrambled eggs and ham.
For the cats.
She got the nickel lecture on why we don't want to be giving people food
to the cats, and how "table scraps" are really bad for them, and how we
have enough cat food...

Fedders - what happened to him? by
Bastette
Jill, I saw Adrian's candle post, and your fond-memories post, but I
must not have gotten your original post that said he had gone to the RB.
I was following the GYFBH posts, and I saw that he had returned. I also
knew that he was sick. But that's all. What was wrong with him? Did he
take a sudden...

Fond Memories of Fedders (with a little Schwartzie thrown in) by
jmcquown[_2_]
He wasn't my cat but I was around him so much I feel he was a member of
my extended family. (Schwartzie is, too, of course.)
He was a little pipsqueak of a cat with a big raspy meow! He was a
black cat with green eyes. Not emerald green like my Persia. Very
light green, like an old...

Fedders Gone to the Bridge 1/14/2013 by
jmcquown[_2_]
I'm crying as I write this because he was such a sweet cat. I was out
briefly this morning and came home to a message from Lynn, please call
me about Fedders. I'd been planning to call when I got back anyway.
She had to give him the kindest solution last night. Aside from having
been very...

Surprise overnight visitor by
Christina Websell
I was lying awake at 3 a.m. last night (as usual) when I heard some tapping
and chewing noises in my bedroom.
Many years ago - before I had cats - I had a mouse in my bedroom and since
then I've had a box type catch alive trap baited in there.
So, I got up and listened and the noise was coming...

Purrs for good forever (or even foster!) home(s) for friend's kitties by
Phoenix[_2_]
I have a friend who needed to go into an adult foster care
placement and it all happened kinda fast. Me, some other friends,
and her daughter are clearing out her apartment (she won't be
going back there, sigh) and dealing with her stuff, and we could
use some purrs for dealing with her...

Holly is home by
MaryL[_2_]
I was able to bring Holly home this evening. She has been following me
around just as she always does. I was afraid Duffy would be annoyed by the
"hospital scent" that cats carry home from veterinary visits, but he didn't.
I did use a cloth to pet each of them and transfer scents, but I'm not...

Bitter cold weather! by
mlbriggs
Temps in low teens and zero and below at night. The weather report is another temp inversion in a couple of days.
TuTu has attached herself to the hall bathroom heat vent and only comes out to eat and visit the back bathroom litter pan.
For some reason, she prefers to sleep on a thick folded bath...

Get Your Furry Butt Home, Fedders! by
jmcquown[_2_]
Purrs needed. I saw my neighbor outside and she was calling and calling
for Fedders. She said he's been sick with a respiratory infection for
almost a month. He's had multiple vet visits, been treated with two
different antibiotics. His nose was all stopped up so he hasn't wanted
to eat. ...

Milk Jug Ring by
jmcquown[_2_]
I don't know where Persia had this little milk jug ring stashed. I
walked into the living room yesterday and there it was in the middle of
the floor. I gave it to her *years* ago! I think she must have fished
it out from under the bookcase. Goofy little girl :)

Purrs for Weebs, please. by
Magic Mood Jeep
A year and a half ago we found a lump on Weeble's left rear leg - TED
removed it and he had an incision as long as my index finger with 14
staples on it. The lump turned out to be a liposarcoma (fatty tumor). It
was a rather large lump (about 1/2 the size of a ping-pong ball), and I
was rather...

OMG. a Flea by
Christina Websell
When I was washing myself yesterday I noticed a beetly thing in the water.
I got it out and it was a FLEA!
I've been to my brother's house and he has a dog and cat that always have
fleas despite his best efforts.
I must have carried it back.
It was a shock, tbh, but if there was another flea I...
