I haven't posted here in a long time, although I do check in an read sometimes. Last night, when I went to bed, Shroder was fine. This morning he was in the closet, where he never goes. He came out and laid around all day. We took him to the vet at 2:00 pm, and then the vet called shortly after...

For about a week now, we've had stories in my area (Columbus, Ohio), of numerous sightings of a lion wandering around the edges of the city! Although officers and the Humane Society have been called out many times, no one has yet to find the lion. No one knows whether s/he is real, or if we're...

I know I haven't been responding to post much lately but we have been checking the list for requests for purrs and sending them out. Now I'm here requesting purrs for Lacey. Today we noticed she isn't opening her left eye. She's rubbing it a lot as well. She'll go to TED tomorrow but in the...

Continued purrs and best wishes for Tasha, -- Polonca & Soncek "Jeanne Hedge" wrote in message ... Thanks to all who have posted here Natasha :) Although she's spent most of the day snoozing, she definitely seems to be feeling better,...

I've been noticing lately that Archer groans in his sleep. Not a meow, not a purr, not anything I've ever heard coming from a cat! His moans sound human. He's not in any kind of distress or ill, the sound is like what a person might do when taking a big yawn and stretching. Has anyone else...

The thread about how much work kittens/cats are got me thinking. I was just chasing kittens off of the kitchen counters, and the top of the refrigerator, and cleaning up the bits of dry food strewn across the kitchen floor. This is the time of the night when they really live up to their hoolikitten...

My sister Ann is getting married soon and I recently spent an evening with her, Patrick, the hubby-to-be and his lady tuxedo cat Lucy-Fur (as in devil-cat). Dunno how she got the moniker, as she is a very sweet kitty. Lucy has lived with Patrick for fourteen years, ever since he rescued her from a...

Rocky usually comes in about 9. About once a week, when the weather is nice, he stays out all night. So, I wasn't really worried when Rocky didn't show up this evening. When the late news came on they forecast rain overnight and tomorrow, so I looked out and sure enough the ground was wet. I went...

We were just discussing signs for firemen here--I don't have one, but am going to make one. My son got home from work and found smoke boiling out of his TV and computer. Every electrical appliance in the house, microwave, cable DSL modem, air conditioner, alarm clock, Playstation, TV, computer,...

For the reasons I've given here in a previous post, and after a brief interchange with a certain member of this newsgroup, I've decided to restrict my involvement with r.p.c.a. to its group at Facebook. Other people have written to me me about this individual, and their comments about him are...

Someone on one of my regular email lists was telling all of us that she'd taken in a stray cat that was about to have kittens. Today she posted that the kittens had been born, and have been placed in homes with different girls who live in her neighborhood!!! Two of the kittens were given away to...

A little while ago, a few folks were posting "helpful hints" lists for ways to deal with common problems using household items. One such suggestion was soaking a rusty metal item in some coca-cola and then scrubbing it clean. Well, I tried this yesterday on my tea strainer. It's the kind...

I've been filling chuck holes. Last couple days, I've filled three tunnels under my trailer skirting. Two holes in the ground behind the trailer. Today there is a new hole. About 4 inch diameter. I ran the garden hose into the hole, and turned on for about five minutes. No signs of filling up. So,...

I was told the other day that the FBI is investigating "Country Wide" mortgage company along with Wells Fargo Mortgage company. And guess why they're being checked out. Yup, they were claiming that people weren't making their payments when they were, and were trying to foreclose on people...

It's my little girl's birthday. I can't believe she's been with me for so long! As my sister said this summer, she might as well be 5 years old, she has retained her kittenish looks all her life. I made a little album of her birthday activities on...

This is a little different from what the Subject line implies. A while back I got REALLY attached to a cat that my ex (Now wife again) had. Up til then I was an un-cat person. Thanks to her Moses I got into cats and took in several plus have been feeding and caring for strays for years now. I...

Patty let me out of the d*ghouse long enough to give you the good news. My previous echocardiogram showed my heart capacity had dropped from 45% to 27%. Bad news. My new echocardiogram yesterday showed capacity back up to 40%. Good news. I attribute the improvement to my clean lifestyle -- I don't...
