I bought a new sofa and it was delivered yesterday. I filmed the cats as they explored it. (It still has packaging around and under it because I can't get it out on my own; have to wait until someone can come and help me). Witness my feeble attempts at stopping Caliban from scratching it. I've...

Always in search of ways to celebrate, honor or whatever over the years I've run up against the things that we can no longer do, or shouldn't do and the like. Around here throwing rice after a wedding is verboten because the rice can cause a serious eye injury, can cause harm to some of the...

I can blame my mother for this - she started spoiling Egbert So he would always have clean water, she put some in the sink every time she went into the bathroom. After I moved out - he started drinking out of the faucet or tub. It took him almost 2 years to "train" Niobe to do this - It took...

My mom, Ruby, went to the Rainbow Bridge at 5:43 AM this morning (8/26.) I was with her all night, and held her hand for most of the time - except for bathroom/beverage breaks. At 4 am she started having trouble breathing, and the nurse said it wouldn't be very long. I called my DH, and he came...

I am going to buy the purple "Dyson" this weekend and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with Dysons. I have 2 long-haired cats and they shed daily. Lots of hair! The reason I want a Dyson is because it doesn't lose suction power overtime. I am getting the purple "animal" with all...

Yesterday Bonnie went missing!! When they are outside I check them regularly. FSP and Clyde were hanging around the door, dashing in and out - it was cold and raining slightly, hardly a nice day to be 'out'. We both kitty kittied all around the place, me getting more unnerved by the minute. ...

Who says cats don't eat greens? I bought one of these for Persia years ago: http://www.chewy.com/cat/smartcat-kittys-garden/dp/49067 Persia loved munching on the fresh grass. She preferred the barley grass but also liked the wheat and oat grass. Rye came in fourth. I still had a refill kit...

I just set up a flickr account, so I'm not sure if this will work, I'm a newbie at on-line photosharing. What I do know is that it's a big file and I haven't worked out how to resize it, so if you are on dial-up do be aware it may take a while to download for you. Let me know if you can see it...
