By the name you see attached to a post. You can put any name you want on your posts - you can imitate someone else and make it look like they're posting nasty stuff. I hate having to check headers just to make sure someone is who they claim to be. And we haven't had to do that before. But just...

Here's a couple of new ones of my furballs.... http://community.webshots.com/album/401326914bLvJpm Cheers Mathew

OK, no matter how naughty she is, how can you stay cross at this face!!??? http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/sammy14/sammykins.asp Hugs, CatNipped

Fez and Rufous don't seem to want to act like full-grown cats, even though they're 2 years old now. Pretty much every morning they engage in a wrestling session, like boy brothers often do. Rufous does a very unusual thing, that I've never seen before. He stands on his back legs, like a kangaroo,...

We are getting new furniture in our living room tomorrow! (yay!!) However, we had to get rid of some old stuff tonight and the living room is missing a couch and a coffee table. Blind cats obviously rely on things being in the same place all the time! So, poor Jasper was wandering around looking...

I am almost in tears as I write this, but as I was leaving to go to Mom's (and take her a dozen +/- home-grown tomatoes), I find Bittie along the foundation where her & Mama had been for the past couple of days - no sign of Mama (but she was there for her am feeding). I checked on Bittie =...

I took the camera outside late this evening for new pics of everybody, all six--except Bosley refused to go out and have his picture taken. Kids. This is what I found when I went looking for them. It was actually quite funny. They look like they're waiting on somebody to take them fishing. I don't...

It was night and all felines were fast asleep. Stanley was passed out in his hammock on his back and his toes were twitching from him being in a deep dream. Suddenly a paw came flying out of nowhere and unhooked the end of the hammock, sending Stanley tumbling to the ground with a thump. ...

We just had to rush our Isis to the vets...she has an enlarged heart. We don't know if she will make it through the night. Please send purrs to her!

I'm watching an Oprah re-run that I didn't see the first time featuring Lance Armstrong (from before this latest win). He is truly, truly inspirational. Oprah had brought a woman on who was battling cancer (and who got her will to fight from Lance) and gave her a bike and Lance autographed it -...

I visit and participate in a number of newsgroups, but this one is far ahead of the pack for sheer volume of participation! It's amazing but not surprising how much we ailurophiles love to write and chat about our kitties. What's also remarkable is how interesting and varied the posts...

That is what I asked myself on Sunday when Hobbes went on a restricted diet and we had to terminate free feeding at our house. How long will it take before they learn to eat when food is put down? Hobbes had his cardiac sonogram last week and it showed that his heart was normal with no...

I've been holed up here most of my spare time, trying to write my story, and I seem to have constant companions in Brandy and Roxie of all people. I wonder if they're trying to help me write... Roxie, my little Buddhist, no doubt wants to give me some spiritual guidance. She's quite the little...

Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun Faster than the speeding light he's flying, trying to remember where it all began Dennis Hopper Bog Seger Whitershade Of Pale Ruprecht

I've been living in this apartment complex for 9 years now. I never had a complaint until they decided to rip out and re-build the fences around the patios in 1999. The old fences were 6 feet tall and provided privacy but they needed to be replaced. The new ones they installed are only 3...

The window beside my desk is three feet by four feet with a ledge that is eight inches wide. Right outside is the bird feeder. We also have the occasional ground squirrel and a few bunny rabbits meandering through the yard. So you can understand that the window ledge is a prime spot for the cats....

WOW!!! Life is just CRAZY lately! Which is why I have'nt been posting. So, here's the OT part: My Girlfreind (Cat) & I just bought a house!!! It's about 5 miles from Sun Peaks Ski Resort, just outside of Kamloops BC. I'm sooooo excited, finally a place I OWN to garden in. Here's the On Topic...

Hi all, this afternoon we have an appointment with TED, Cleo, Ken's loving companion of some 16 years is *off* colour. She has gone off her food and was not too keen on getting out of bed for the last couple of days, she is not following her usual daily routine and looks miserable, I worry that...

He's 6mo, intact. When I work the computer he sometimes leaps on my desk, walks up to me and very gently reaches out and lightly touches my face with his front paw. It is not that he's lonely, he has a (fixed) sister whom he sexually harasses regularly. She never does that.

Hi All, Can I ask for silent purrs for Mr Spock (i.e. I know the purrs are out there, so there is no need to respond to this post). He is straining at the litterbox *again*, so is off to the vet for the second time in a month. He is not happy and will be even less happy when he figures out what...
