It was as I feared. Her kidneys were too far gone. So I made the painful decision; Persia went to the bridge this afternoon. The vet gave me a little heart shaped stone "memory box" with some of her fur in it. She will be cremated and her ashes returned to me. Heartfelt thanks to all of you...

I know real life interferes at times but this ng has suddenly gone quiet. :( Jill

Quick, somebody start a flame war - it's urgent, I need a recipe! ; My ex Monster-In-Law had only one good thing going for her - she cooked, and baked, from scratch, anything she put on her table. I'd gotten most of recipes and techniques early on in the marriage, but one this one that I'm...

He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here. When he first came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/Garvin/ -- Hugs,

Anyone wake up in the morning or come home to bird feathers in the shower, or worse yet bird beaks, legs, feathers and guts on the carpet? Our cats are the best fed cats in Oklahoma, but they still love to have a good ole' bird murder weekly. We sometimes catch them and pry the bird out of...

How to Drive in Phoenix 1. You must first learn to pronounce the city name, it is: "FEE-NICKS". 2. The morning rush hour is from 5:00 am to noon. The evening rush hour is from noon to 7:00 pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday morning. 3. The minimum acceptable speed on most freeways is 85...

Dear Group I have to go the the hospital tomorrow, it's a follow up check after my ovarian ca op in May, I am to be followed up for 5 years. I was quite okay until today. Not scared at all about whatever. Now I am. Could I have a few purrs that they won't find anything weird and scary that I've...

My brain is so tired it's hard to think, but i think i'll let it operate a little more so I can vent. First of...

I clicked on the link and it says the album is empty. Victor M. Martinez wrote: I've put a copy of my pictures of the cats in my regular Yahoo album: http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/aufwiedersen Let me know if that doesn't work. Victor M. Martinez

Just thought I would pass on something that happened last night. Candles and cats together in a house probably aren't a good idea anyway, but I never had any problem. I was always careful to put them in a heavy votive holder and not to put them on the coffee tables where the cats jump. Anyway, I...

On another group I mentioned that since I deaf I can't hear water running and a friend replied with her efforts to get her cat to stop turning the water on. Reposted here with her permission. "Jo Firey" wrote in message ... My big problem...

Boy, has this been a week! I found out that someone else got the computer tech job that I had been REALLY looking forward to. Nancy called HR at her employer's home newspaper about a job she'd like to move to, and has still not gotten a call back (but she's still applying). I've been pulling...

It's probably no major thing, but Brando has been having these little weird coughing fits the past couple of days. Took him to the vet today (last thing we needed in our financial situation, but what are ya gonna do?), and he was running a fever. He's on Baytril for 10 days, and furball meds for...

For several weeks she's been coming in, eating, sleeping, playing. My cats have accepted her into the pack. Her owner put a collar on her so I know she's not a stray. She's a nice cat, about the same age as Hondo. She's getting about the age to go into heat. I've started locking her out of the...

Siamese cats are not by nature a needy animal. They are aloof. Masters of all they survey. They may permit scritches if it makes us happy and they may even share the occasional purr. Physical closeness is also permitted and everyone knows shared body heat is a good thing. And of course an...

Frank has been fighting, has gotten an abscess on his side/shoulder. I took him to T.E.D. this afternoon, just expecting him to clean it, give us antiobiotic and send us on our way. Instead, he wanted to sedate him to debride it more thoroughly and probably put a drain in it. So he stayed. I wish...

She vomited in the litter box on Sunday and hasn't eaten since then. I took her to the vet this morning after chasing her around the house for over half an hour. She got an antibiotic shot and 100cc of saline solution for dehydration. I took her home with a bottle of medicine to give her twice...

I have read posts about cats on the group that are often 14 lbs up to in the 20's, particularly USA cats. Compared with this, mine are miniscule. Boyfriend is around 7-8 pounds and KFC is 4ish. They both have access to all the gooshy and dry food that they might want and catch and eat der birdies...

Since I've reached the stage in life where I've been reading the obits to see if I'm on the list yet, in reading them this morning I found one a bit unusual. A beloved lady had passed on and, of course, there was a list of survivors - - husband, son, step-sisters and -brother, beloved friends - ...
