I can't believe The Yowlet, my baby, is 2 today. He's no longer a baby, but very much a little boy, with all the 'boy' traits of liking cars, going fast enough to scare Mum and make Dad proud on his trike, a penchant for hitting things with other things, insatiable curiousity, and of course,...

1. YOUR ROCK STAR NAME: (first pet & first street you lived on) Blackie South 2. YOUR GANGSTA NAME: (fav ice cream flavor, favorite cookie) Irish Cream Timtam 3. YOUR "FLY Guy/Girl" NAME: (first initial of first name, first three letters of your last name) V-Cha

I'm thinking of Charleen especially here, but others have been through the same thing, and I also speak from experience myself. As much as we share on this here NG and other electronic media, other people are not privvy to the minutaie of the situation, or our lives, our relationships with our...

Can any of you kind folk from England please explain allottments and how one gets one. Joel & I are at loggerheads on this one, but I'm working on stuff I heard my prents talk about (ie, circa 1970) and he's talking about stuff he's seen on TV. So could you please explain briefly what they are,...

I declare that comparing anyone to "the Taliban" is making a modern version of the Godwin, thus I am going to name the use of "Taliban" as an insult in Usenet as Yowie's corrollary to the Godwin's Law, such like: .... do battle with these intolerant folks who bear more than a passing ...

Torchwood is here. Thankyou so very much, I'll be sitting down to drool, errr, watch this evening :-) Yowie

The Pope is a catslave :-) http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/21/us/nationalspecial2/21cats.html?ei=5087&em=&en=02a1188ea151b6d8&ex=1209009600&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1208898047-jFH01/sHqMujAHvnIUyVsA or http://tinyurl.com/5qw6gr Yowie

Was told about this, thought it was funny: http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/

Shadow has been here a while now, and only once has she used a litterbox, and that was forNo.1s. She won't go in any box either of the other cats use, and Pickle thinks its his Bast given right to 'christen' every clean box. I thought she'd taken to doing her business in the small side of the...

Apprantly I've gained some 'street cred' amongst the younger crowd at work. Turns out that a few of them are into piercings and other 'body modification' too (tattoos, scarification and inserts and other things i don't want to know about) - but have been sensible enough to only have such things...

Thought I was OK, thought I was mostly 'over it', thought the earring (which still hurts - more on that later) was working. But last night for no particular reason i just broke down again. For a cat that in his last weeks pretty much only slept and drank, and whose main interactions with me was...

Dave & Dot G. are currently travelling around the USA. here's an update from them. The original had pictures attached, which I'll be happy to forward to anyone who asks. (his e-mail is still dave at netconnect dot com with au at the end) Yowie Hi,

I've seen no new messages in RPCA for 24 hours. Other NGs are updating fine. Help! I need my daily fix of RPCA or I'll go mad! Purrs to those who need them Yowie

I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton, Trend, or McAfee cannot take care of this one. It seems to affect the older systems Symptoms: 1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice. 2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail!

Hi Everyone, I knowyou folks can't tell whether i"m in Brisbane or just sitting in my lounge room (or even ffice at work) but I am actually at Brisbane Airport on a "Internet Kiosk". Due to fog over Sydney & BRisbane all my flights have been arranged, so I've got over an hour to kill here. So...

You see a collage of 20 pictures, and have to guess the keyword someone typed into Google to get those 20 images. My beat score is a measly 189. Its addictive, and so far has been work safe. http://grant.robinson.name/projects/guess-the-google/ Yowie

October 31st, "The Day of the Dead" or "Día de Los Muerto" is fast approaching. Usually, here in RPCA, we'd honour the cats and other beloved pets that have gone to Raibow Bridge (or are Missing in Action) before us by listing their names, and their house (ie, the last name of their family). If...

Spock, Persephone and Fox would like to announce the safe arrival of the much-anticipated barekitten into our family. Our Meowmie, Tish, was due to be induced today, but started to act all funny yesterday and went to a place called the hoz-pee-tal later last night with our Paw, Dave. A little...

Found this wonderful site: http://www.bookcrossing.com/ And its all about tracking books that get exchanged from one person to another or even 'let out in the wild' where someone has just left it to be found by someone else. I thought this would be a great and effecient way of tracking the...

Suki and Pickle ocasionally engage in mutual grooming. Usually they do each ohers head and ears. I figure that this is mutually beneficial as cats can't lick their own heads & ears. So I was just doingmy usual newsgroup thing this morning,whilstout the corner of my left eye, Pickle & Suki were...
