I am going home for my nephews wedding and would appreciate safe travel purrs and purrs for the kitties to stay healthy and safe. I'm really fine once I get on the road, but I am delaying by reading the newsgroups. I'm not all happy about this trip other than I get to see my mom. I could...

I called the vet and asked for him to call me back but the evening came/went with no phone call. He'll probably call me today (Saturday). Some of you read about my great Dallas adventure and the fact that Persia came down with another UTI while I was gone. She's doing okay with that but I'm...

As with humans, our kitties all have varying degrees of smarts. My beloved Vanilla (RB), who was with me for 18 years, was a kitty genius. Her photo: http://www.waas.us/images/cats/vanilla-01.jpg Vanilla was a real sharpie, and could figure stuff out easily. On the other hand, my present cat pal,...

When I adopted Buffy on June 2nd the caretaker said she'd eat "just about anything". She was feeding her dry food from a bin in the pantry and a 9 Lives canned food. Buffy is only the 2nd cat I've ever had. Persia had to eat prescription food for most of her years. I had to dole it out when...

Since you have to 'subscribe' to their web service, I will post it he Behind closed doors is tougher The Pet Connection by Gina Spadework November 14, 2004 http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/stories/2004/11/14/lifestyle.new.1100286160.sto Can indoor cats really be happy?

I have just spoken to Charleen and together we have made the decision to let Four go to Rainbow Bridge. She's going to ask the vet to make Four comfortable tonight to give her DH, David, time to get home so that she has some support when they both go to say goodbye and she'll give permission let...

We have a fair amount of new folks posting, not to mention all us "old folks" (ahem). And while I know many of your cats' names, my age-addled brain sometimes forgets. So how about posting your name and your kitties (and other pets, too, if you want) in this thread, so we can all have a...

Cast of Characters: Sammy - 6-month-old female kitten Mommy - MUCH older female human One day Mommy went temporarily insane and decided to invite her boss and coworkers to the house for dinner the next Saturday. Mommy was counting on Daddy to do the cooking chores, as usual, but Daddy was called...

I've been living in this apartment complex for 9 years now. I never had a complaint until they decided to rip out and re-build the fences around the patios in 1999. The old fences were 6 feet tall and provided privacy but they needed to be replaced. The new ones they installed are only 3...

People in a small town in Tennessee have rallied around to support Sammy the cat. Someone wrote a letter of complaint because the Post Office is a federal building and Sammy does not pay taxes. Therefore, the writer said, Sammy should not be allowed inside. Sammy was banned from the building...

Seems like these worldwide purrs must be doing some good. You may have guess from the my earlier posts that I was pretty down. I just got back from the clinic - I was supposed to return at three, couldn't wait and went an hour early. I dreaded going in, fearing what the xrays showed. Guess...

I was gone all day yesterday. Went for a nice hike to this waterfall, then swimming in the rocky pool under the falls, then a seafood lunch on the beach...oh yeah, my life really sucks sometimes ;-) Anyway, so I was gone all day and the maid let herself in to do the cleaning. I don't know what...

Gee I wonder why he is a fat...

You know you've been reading RPCA too long when..... You can't remember the precise recipe for a yummy salad you used to make, so you go to Google and do a search of RPCA and you find it back in a troll-b-que thread back in 2000.... And then spend the next 2 hours walking down memory lane,...

Scientific study (and personal experience) proves, cats are not anti-social: https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2019/01/16/if-you-think-cats-are-antisocial-maybe-its-you-scientists-find/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.116157365ea3 or: https://tinyurl.com/yamw6dwe The crux of the matter seems to be...

MMMmmmmm. Right now I have four pairs of pitiful little eyes watching me, and have discovered that Congo (biggest, fattest, and most masculine kitten) has an extremely pitiful, small, weak, kittenish mew. He is also very good at looking starved; probably why he is so hefty. For those of...

OK, my mind is almost made up... I'm almost certain I'm going to adopt my beautiful black tuxedo foster kitten. A couple of friends have tried to talk me out of it. One has allergies and said she probably wouldn't be able to come to my house if I got another cat, and another friend said she thinks...

Its already 9/11 here. The exact time the tragic events unfolded 10 years ago will start at just after 11pm, my time and the horror story that unfolded over the next few hours will run well into tomorrow morning for me. I know for most of you, its still at least a few hours away, but I wanted...

I rushed ahead and looked at Webshots - she is *so cute*!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad its going better than expected. Poor Frank being dissed like that - I'm sure he'll be a favourite uncle soon! In some other thread somewhere, I posted that Mere is going to *know* that she's adopted - one of these...

My good friend's kitty "Fred" is quite ill and is scheduled for urinary surgery tomorrow. He suffered blockage and a catheterization didn't work. As we all know, renal failure is a fairly common serious illness for our kitties, and many go to the Rainbow Bridge as a result. This surgery he's...
