Three nights...

This has been a week for cats and clocks. Tuesday, Little Boy sat on the clock radio and set of the alarm at 2:30 am. My exhaustion-addled brain went into auto mode - got up, showered, ate breakfast, got ready for work. Then I looked at the clock. Waaaay too early to go into work, so I laid...

Oh, do get your cats a collar with a bell on,( joke) like I did a few days ago, to stop Boyfriend catching things. It doesn't work. Something small and brown suddenly shot across the kitchen floor (door open) with BF after it (rat, mouse?) They rushed out into the garden. Did he get it or not? ...

I have this neighbor who seems to be convinced that I'm starving my cat. Her concern was touching at first, but now it's just getting annoying. A bit insulting, too. If you've followed my story about Smudge conning the neighbors out of food and treats, you can jump over the next several...

Hagerstown, Maryland -- When millions of cicadas emerge across the eastern United States for a rare mating season, they will appear as tasty morsels to pets who could get sick from eating the insects, officials warned. The insects are protein-rich but their hard outer shells can cause vomiting and...

Guess what, guys, I got a Roomba! You know, the robotic vacuum cleaner. It sure is cute as it zips around the room, bouncing off stuff. But someone here doesn't agree. We've got one thoroughly freaked-out kitten here. ;) OTOH, the Big Dood remains totally cool. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures:...

Caliban the clown strikes again. I'm still wiping my eyes from laughing so hard. This is probably one of those things that you had to be there to appreciate, but I'll try to describe it anyway. I was cutting up meat for the cats' supper and Caliban was hovering around as usual, sticking his...

Tyler, my latest goofball addition to the furry family has got himself stuck down behind my corner bookcase. All of my cats have explored down there at one time or another. The bookcase has shelves that extend along the two walls of the room, with a section of shelves that sort of cuts across the...

Why does Pearl hate it when I sing and play guitar??? I am trying to write a song (and REALLY, I am not bad at all) and she just HATES it. She comes up on me and stares at me intensely and pulls at my had with her paw and bites at me. She seems extremely concerned. Even if I try to be really...

This is so weird. A friend of mine from the shelter was driving down a highway about 50 miles away and saw a cat carrier sitting on the side of the road. She thought, wow, that looks like a nice carrier and we could use it at the shelter. She stopped to get it, and lo and behold, there was a...

John is cleaning out and doing minor renovations on one of his apartment rental units. Long story short, the people he evicted left their black cat! He spotted it when he went over about a week after they left, hanging out on the upstairs deck. It let him pet it (he's not sure if it's a girl or...

I met my new neighbors yesterday. Well, not exactly "new" -- they moved into the house behind me (on a different street), but I had not met them before. Eleanor started to tell me about their cat that "came with the house." I was startled -- in fact, shocked -- to hear that the people who...

On December 24, 2008 a fellow animal rescuer friend of mine died of cancer...on her death bed she asked her ex-husband to please call Kris Kelly to save her babies.
