I think the cat and dog are plotting against me. I went out to the living room just now and they rather guiltily jumped apart and gave me a "we're just two innocent wittle boys" look. I don't know what they're up to but I think I need to keep a close eye on dinner. :-) -- Margaret...

I caught Smokey drinking out of the toilet bowl this morning! I told her only D*gs do that. :)

If Harri was a human I'm sure she would be a heavy equipment mechanic. When we walk in a company yard or a truck stop, she always has to check out the trailers. She loves to climb in the big wheel rims (just the outside ones) and inspect the rims and the valve stems and peek through the holes to...

I still haven't read all the new posts this morning, but I have to go all the way across town to a dentist's appointment so I'll have to wait until tonight to catch up. I've had to mark the group "catch up" *way* too much lately and fear I've missed sending needed purrs, congratulations,...

My elderly neighbour has been feeding a stray tabby cat for the last two months, I'd never seen this cat untill today. She'd told me a couple of weeks ago that he had a lump on the side of his face, this was a nasty abcess, which burst today. The lady managed to catch him and get him in a carrier...

Busy couple of days! We've been running really hard since Weds afternoon (as in only 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night). We have been able to get kitty walks in, though. Weds night (Thurs morning actually, 4 AM-ish) we walked at the rest area just south of St. George, UT. Harri loves this place for...

Hey, all! I had an idea that I've wanted to put forth to the group for a while now. I'm sure a lot of us have seen the cafepress.com site. It's a place where people can create their own online "store", with their own logo or photos imprinted on various items. Cafepress has a base price for each...

After starting a load of laundry, and calling Mom to check in, I hear this PEEP, PEE PEEEEEEEEE EEEK EEEK. We have had the back porch opened 24/7 for about a week now, so the kitties can enjoy the birds & other critters. I think there's an angry Cardinal out back (Cardinals only do a "peep"...

I have just one question. What is that thing on her head? For a moment, I thought she had twigs in her hair. Then I realized they were feathers (I think). But it kind of makes her look like a porcupine. I personally think she should have worn some kind of subtle pink or rose or something. Ah...

I received "Murder Most Feline" On Wednesday. I was really happy to see it and have it on my list as next book to read. I need the next person (Marina?) who wants to read it to send me his/her address. I can't use the Christmas list because I couldn't transfer it from my old computer. I also...

Mere is living dangerously these days: http://community.webshots.com/photo/303978040/323196609ayVHqJ (that's one of Nikki's special sleeping places) This close and not a sound: http://community.webshots.com/photo/323197982/323197982uADLGl Vino's not the only cat with his own bananas:

A few hours early yet (here), but the best thing about April 15 (widely cursed in the USA as "Income Tax Day") is that it's my mistress's purrday. So Happy Purrday to Natasha, who is 18 years old this year! She isn't as spry as she once was, but she still seems to be doing quite well for herself,...

I live in North Carolina and my sister works in a Wal-Mart. One of her co-workers is a member of a local fire station and the other day that station responded to a house fire. While they were fighting the fire someone noticed a mother cat retrieving her kittens from the house. The mother cat saved...

There's a big snapping turtle in the pond where Abelard plays with frogs. I want to scoop it up with a big flat shovel and relocate it, so there's no chance of an accident, but it hasn't come out of the water long enough yet. This turtle's head is almost as big as a cat's head....

I walked up to Nox to groom her onna back but she clawed me and she started talkin' smack And there was a word that Nocturne said right after she slapped me in the head

here are some pics of Grant I don't think I posted before. I miss my little man. http://tinyurl.com/3te5s

I as there the entire time, as your livjornal htt:;;calaf.livjournal.com has recroded. http://calaf.livejournal.com It wa all very humane, but I have yet to cry all the heartbreak out. and I only knew him three daws. Perhaps he was Ghandi reincancatied. You nver know.

Last year, we wrote the chronicles of the 2004 voyage of the Mouser. This year, I want to create a team blog where we can post the stories of the voyages and pictures of the trip. If you are interested in adding to the Mouser Chronicles, please, Please, PLEASE email me with a valid email address...

Lucy is our problem child. She's not really a problem to us, but she's had the most trouble of the three adapting to her new home and her new 'siblings'. When the problems became evident back in December, we segregated the cats and put Lucy in the basement while Ty and Indie shared the upstairs. ...

Nancy applied a couple of days ago for two different jobs at the newspaper which is sort of the parent company of the paper she works for now. She got two calls this morning - one asking her to come in to interview for the Special Sections Editor job tomorrow morning, and one to come in and...
