No, you didn't miss a prior post. This is the first I've written about how I've been somewhat worried about her. She's seemed more tired than usual, sleeping much more than she used to, and less interested in food. She *has* been eating, but with a lot less enthusiasm. So I took her to the vet...

I hope you have a great birthday tomorrow. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat.

Not exactly - there's no timeslip, he's reached Kitty 18 months, which seems a good time to celebrate his arrival into adulthood. There are definite signs that his hoolikitten nature is subsiding (in terms of reduced damage to the household) and the "manic minutes" are now few & far between. His...

I know I have to make the decision myself, but I'd like to collect some opinions before I do so. Here's the situation. Since Skeeter went to the Rainbow Bridge, Lindy has been an "only cat". She seems to like that, which isn't too surprising. She joined the family when Skeeter had been hear for...

Monday morning, I walked out the front door, down the short walk way to the driveway to get my keys out of the ignition of the truck, and go back to lock the front door. I locked the door, went back to the truck, petting Big'Ead, who was on the walk way (Big'Ead is our recently adopted recentl;y...

For years, whenever Chessie comes into a room and finds Nikki snuggling with me, Chessie goes into I'm-having-the-most-wonderful-time mode. She starts flinging catnip toys, chasing and rolling with them. Naturally, Nikki soon leaves me to join in the wonderful-time fun. Don't have to tell you...

My niece's cat Kira, who just gave birth to five kittens, has some sort of infection and didn't eat properly Wed-Thur. She and the whole litter saw TED yesterday, and Kira was given a course of antibiotics. She's not producing a lot of milk, and the kittens are not putting on weight as they should....

Our precious baby, Seth (used to be called Cajun), is spending Christmas at the vet's office, awaiting the results of an FIP test. We won't know anything until Monday. Any purrs you can spare for this sweet little soul will be appreciated. Nina in Texas, enslaved by: Snickelfritz (RB), Pixel...

Haven't been posting for a while as I've been too busy to do more than lurk on RPCA, but I have to update you all with the latest Miles news... quite apart from Robbies adventures in DC whilst my parents came back to the UK.. I should have seen it coming.... I really should. It's not like...

Dear all I cannot thank you all enough for being so supportive. The news tonight is that I can see that I have a tabby/white cat on a cream chair cover. No detail. A definite Kitty with white and black. on another. Up to now, detail is out. The really big problem is that I'm a birdwatcher, I...

My son called and told me he's taken a job that requires him to be away three weeks out of every month, out of state, all over the country. I am going to have to take Bosley I guess. I now have 8 cats. EIGHT CATS. Eight cats. I can't believe this. Bosley is not going to integrate well. He's bossy,...

Well we made it to our friends Lori and Dave in Bristol Virginia, and am taking a couple or three days rest here before delivering Mike back to Job Corps and heading back to the chaos that I know has gathered back home. We had to have Rob ambulanced to the hospital in Aurora Colorado, a suburb of...

Hi all, Willow's last catch was a 5-legged cricket sometime back in 1997. Here is what she brought in today. Please note - it was completely unharmed and very lively, and we released it immediately after taking a few photos! Isn't he...

I just realized this after I posted the last message. My urologist just told me this morning that I have to go in for a lithotripsy, to break up a kidney stone that is blocking my right kidney, within the next week or so, or I could be in real trouble. Since then, I have worried more about Sammy...

Hi, I post/read on rpch+b mostly and just found out that this ng exists! I have been lurking for a while and enjoy the more pleasant exchange of cat stories and cute things. I have 6 cats myself and also volunteer and foster for a local shelter. I wanted to share with you pictures of a kitty that...

Bootsie is being terrorized by a scissortail flycatcher. I really didn't know they were so aggressive! It dive-bombs her everytime she goes outside. She first just acted very nonplussed about the whole situation, and now she acts afraid! She ducks her head and scans the sky as soon as she steps...

Luckily this doesn't involve any felines, just hoomins, but I hope you don't mind if I ask for some consolatory purrs for the following: My aunt Felicity died recently aged 78 and leaves 3 children & assorted grandchildren who miss her greatly. My other aunt Olga aged 87 died today, in a kindly...

Purrs once again for all in the state of Florida. This morning's forecast path for Hurricane Ivan (currently a stronger storm than either Charley or Frances) has the state in the center of a south-to-north track. They're already doing mandantory evacuations in the Florida Keys. Purrs also to...

Stupid lawyer tricks... I just saw an advertisement on TV by an ambulance chaser where he was standing in front of the camera and said, "If you have been involved in a serious car wreck with a drunk driver or 18-wheeler, electrocution, or any accident resulting in death, be sure to call us." Um,...
