There is going to be a TWO hour finale!!!!!! Woohoo!!! Party night. DVD set of season 1 to be released Sept. 6. If you have not watched the show it is WELL worth your money to get this set. Easily the best written and acted show I have seen on TV in eons. At *least* since DS9 and I might even...

The last few days have been intersting. We ended up spending up two days in LaPine, OR. The territory there is so beautiful that we had to take two kitten walks a day, one in the wee hours of the morning and one at night. Harri absolutely loved that! We then picked up a load in Springfield, OR....

I know I have been brief in posting lately, but I am truly thinking of all of you in need and sending purrs. Life has just hit me so hard, and I am taking some time to deal with it. I took Cosmo to another vet last week. I just don't know what to think. The vet seemed very good and very...

Last night we had a small meeting-up with Joy, Yowie, JeanH and me at my place. It was lovely to meet Joy and JeanH and to catch up with Yowie and the Yowlet (who is now almost walking!). A picture is in the "we met" section within the hoomins bit...

Remember the game of Cat Stacking, where we tried to see how many items we could rest upon our reclining feline, before said cat got up and walked away in a huff? Well, I ran across this link in someone's blog and thought of it: http://stuffonmycat.com/ LOL...

It's just pitiful when she sleeps in a bed two sizes to small, but the poor girl can't even fit on the cat tree! ; http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Sammy10/ Hugs, CatNipped

My next-door neighbor has a Siberian Husky. She is a big dog, but very friendly. Unfortunately, they haven't had her spayed, and the predictable happened. She had a litter of 7 puppies (half Husky, half pit bull terrier) about a month ago. The mother dog disappeared a few days ago, after...

It's a *cat food* box! ; Sammy has just been providing photo ops galore for me today! http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Sammy11/ Hugs, CatNipped

The stray cat I'd been looking after. I had been keeping him in the annex but because I have guests coming to stay tomorrow I transfered him to the summer house, after his last visit to the vet on Friday. I thought it was too hot in the summer house today, so I opened the window a little to let...

It's incredible what my two Siamese cats can do with their paws. I dropped a penny out of my wallet onto the hardwood floor this afternoon. Maui walked over to it, and PICKED IT UP by using his two paws simultaneously. I quickly grabbed him before he put it into his mouth. Gawd, he's like...

Hi Pat, I've been thinking about you and poor Mr. Abelard and I'd like to contribute something towards his vet bill. If you want to post the vet's addy and phone number my kitties and I'll send a small donation. kindest regards, Christine and Omar, Oreo, Midnight, Robin & Tucker

Well, the bitties were all tired of the single "kitty condo/cave", so I went and got them something larger. I live in an old mobile home (that is never going to be mobile again, it's almost as old as I am), so the thing had to be a manageable size (I really want a house big enough for the kitty...

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

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...

This is very late, but I just remembered that April is Poetry Month!! SO before the month gets away from us altogether, I'd like to have a thread where we share some favorite poems. Here's some Shakespeare, from "Cymbeline": Fear no more the heat o' the sun, Nor the furious winter's rages; Thou...

Nocturne has outdone herself. If Smokey wants food (and us getting up = food), he'll caterwaul and dance until we can no longer stand the annoyance he creates. Nox is more subtle. One of her favourite methods is tapping our shoulders with her paw, just as a human would tap the shoulder of...

I sorted through some of my video tapes last night and left some good ones on top of the heater (it was off, of course). When DH came home he said 'why are you cooking those videos on the heater!" Yikkes. The video tapes were nicely melted underneath and ready to catch on fire!!!! Nearby...

Besides, if you have a cat like I do, who likes to sit on the edge of the tub and supervise baths, just picture its reaction to the fizzing! Bath Bombs Bath Bombs are like giant alka-seltzers for your bath - they spin, whirl and swirl in your bath while releasing scent and skin-softening agents....

Tomorrow is the Mother's Day holiday in the USA. It will be a somewhat bittersweet day for me, as Monday will be the 4th anniversary of my Mother's death. On the one hand, I have the good memories of Mom to look back at; on the other hand, I wish I still had her. -- John F. Eldredge --...
