I just noticed Luna has a couple of bald patches in her tummy. The skin looks normal and not irritated at all. I'm calling TED today to make an appointment, but I wanted to check with the group to see if anybody had experience with this. My guess is that it's stress related, since the boys like to...

Last night after a 36degC day, we had a massive electrical storm...lightning, huge claps of thunder...lasted 2 hours!!! Gizmo spent all her time at the back door (which was open due to the heat)...just watching. When we realised the rain was coming in the door was promptly shut and poor Gizmo was...

I've been wondering if there's been any news on finding a home for the old black doggy your mom rescued a while back. I've thought of it frequently - still hoping for the best. Jeanne

Never let it be said that my cats are not well travelled. At the end of February, we're all moving from Edinburgh back to Cardiff. It's a decision that has only just been made, although we have been thinking about it for a while, but we're doing it so I can spend more time at the University (in...

We moved the computer from the dining room to an upstairs bedroom that we are using as an office/reading room. The cats are so confused. Things are missing from one room and are in another room. They don't know what to do now when we are on the computer. In the dining room there was a chest...

Hi all. I'm a relatively new webmaster with her own site, an upbeat, humor/parody kind of place with different columns, all of which are new every Friday. You're invited to visit Jax's column and have a look around the rest of my site if you'd like....

I have been working on a list of comic strips featuring cats for about a month now - this was prompted by a short exchange here last month. Today's "9 Chickweed Lane" (http://www.chickweed.com/comics/chickweed/archive/chickweed-20040121.html) is Solange based and prompted me to post the link and...

Yesterday I took Psycho Cat From Hell, a.k.a. Marble to TED for annual booster jabs. Marble is a typical male - all mouth & no action :-Þ In the car going to TED's Marble howled the entire journey...ooh.. all of six/seven minutes. Once in TED's waiting area, Marble howled and mewed pathetically...

This has been an exciting day -- one where we went from an almost-certain death sentence for two little blind kittens to one where a promise has been made that they will not be euthanized. When I was first contacted, the person who called me said that both cats were to be euthanized the...

After a very difficult night, we have made our decision. I have cried a lot, believe me -- but you know? The tears are mostly for me and for my loss -- he was a joyful part of my life for 12 years and I will miss him tremendously! Nevertheless, I don't want to see him in pain -- or being...

I was in bed last night reading a new CSI book and I heard Mischief slurping up her food. Then I heard the dreaded sound. I'm sure all of you here are familiar with it. the Hurk....hurk......hurk.......PloooooooooaaaaahhhH!!! I look up just in time to see her vomit up her food on the carpet...

I was reading an artical about San Pedro prison last night where there are prisoners, wives, and children,and cats and dogs all allowed to live together asked what was the strangest thing he saw, the author replied,* a cat that was addicted to cocaine, It very bad tempered until its owner took a...

Just got a call from my wife, reporting strange behavior from Watermelon Man, my monster silver tabby. It seems she opened a jar of peanuts, and Watermelon can't get enough of them. The cat apparently loves peanuts. He already is a fan of ice cream, always waiting for me to finish the bowl so...

La Nina is going to have her stitches out in the morning so a few purrs that the wound has healed properly would be much appreciated. She's a lively little thing and losing one of her legs hasn't slowed her down (except when she forgets she's missing a front leg and lands on her nose). I've never...

Hi all (If you're stuck for answers, RPCA will have some!) I'm having a bit of trouble with my new pair of glasses. I decided to retire my 1980-vintage frames which have rather large squarish lenses, and get a pair of more "modern" frames which have much smaller (geeky looking?) lenses. I've been...

I've noticed I really treat Bruiser and Maya differently. I got in the habit easily since when Maya showed up she was a fully independent functioning not quite adult stray cat and when Bruiser joined us he was a tiny little kitten. But Bruiser is now only a month or two younger than Maya was when...
