My desk at work is usually somewhat chaotic. Its not as bad as some people, but those 'some people' are blokes, and I am not. For some reason its expected that my desk should be tidy. I have no idea why people get their knickers in a knot about it - i can always find everything I need in...

We've got a couple of issues that could use purrs and meatloafs this time. First, my mom goes into the hospital tomorrow. She's been diagnosed with breast cancer, and is going in for a lumpectomy. The doctor is very confident that the lump is well-defined and contained, but it's...

All I ever eat are "Lean Cuisine" meals (mostly because I'm too lazy to cook low-calorie, low-fat meals that taste good), and there is one, "Chicken Fettuccini With Caramelized Apples" that I buy almost exclusive for the Caramelized Apples. I'd love to be able to make those myself, but wouldn't be...

If you ever wondered how a slew of celebrities, from Charles Dickens and Albert Einstein to Tom Cruise and Britney Spears would look like with rats on their heads, you're in luck. http://www.geocities.com/youhavearatonyourhead/index.html Click on a page number. ;) Although, I wonder if they...

Of our three cats, Fluffy and Smokey seem to have "normal" kitty tails. They can wrap them around themselves, or walk with them sticking straight up or straight out to the rear. But the other one, Kitty, can lay his tail flat along his back with the end up on his head and walk around like that. The...

Looking for help for my Maine Coon's newest problem - a blocked tear duct in one eye. A reddish brown discharge comes with it. When it first started a couple of weeks ago my vet had me do hot compresses 3 times a day and use an antibiotic ointment. It cleared up right away. It had been red,...

I don't know if it's because Ben had to rebuild my computer and went from IE7 to IE8, but since them all my "log in" pages keep logging me out like every 5 minutes. I have to keep logging in and logging in and it's a PITA. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? --...

Well, Dad still says that he wants to find a new home for Speedy, but I think that won't happen anytime soon. He lives in the country where kittens are hardly rare. His biggest objection is that the kitten is....well, a kitten, and keeps knocking things off tables and playing with them, and...

Hi, Thank you all for the purrs for Ana. She's doing much better! I hope I can bother you for some more purrs. I got an email from one of the other foster mothers. One of her foster kittens is not doing very well. She's had the momma and kittens since they were about a week old. They are about 5...

Hi all, Since Saturday, Celeste and I have noticed that Tucker seems to be sore on his left hip so I took him in to the vet today and it looks like he got bit by some-furry-one here and might have the start of an abcess. I left him at the vet so they could anesthetize, shave and check his injury...

I don't drink alcohol. I'm an alcoholic and a diabetic and don't touch the stuff. However Mike and James like wine. They prefer sweet red wines. I hate wine. It hated me. Any alcohol made out of fruit hated me. So I need help steering them to decently priced sweet red wines. Any...

What Helen said. I too have had to take my child to work and have had many compliments on his behavior. Hazel Az "wafflyDIRTYcatLITTERhcsBOX" wrote in message ... Assuming its a once-off, one could argue that it was...

No, this cat is not dying. In fact as far as I know this cat is in EXCELLENT health. So why the purrs? Well, he came in for a shave and bath, and since i had my camera to take pics of the bitty, i just HAD to snap a few. Oh, please put away any beverages BEFORE clicking the link. HINTHINTHINT

It has been a long, difficult time for me, both this summer, these past two weeks, and with roots in years ago. My neighborhood has been falling apart. And I have been trying to keep it together, especially to help the animals. We have the neighbor in our building who kept a cat chained up...

I'm starting to get really protective of my dinner as Omar and Midnight and even Oreo at times are not above stealing my hard-earned dinner right from under my nose. Tonight, Midnight was helping herself to leftover chicken soup from the dish that my son put up on the counter after dinner;...

Thank you, everybody, for your Chemo purrs. I am very sad to report that Min's tumour was just growing too fast, and there was no time for her even to be prepared for the treatment. She was helped to the Bridge a few hours ago. My father, Min's foster-Paw just called to tell me. He could barely...

Once again he's been driving me mad with his meowing. I thought it was about food but now I'm not sure it is. I don't know what he's moaning about but I had to retire back to bed this morning to get away from it. I gave him some nip in a sock and it kept him amused for 15 minutes. He never...

In the hope that Rescue Remedy would help with Grizzys howling and the constant interruption of my sleep, i have been putting it in their water bowl daily. The end result - the water bowl is being drunk completely every 36 hours or so. Grizzy is staying quiet all night although it has to be on...
