I bought a new toaster today - not a toaster oven, just a plain, garden-variety toaster that will toast two, not four, slices of bread at once. The box it came in was just big enough to hold it along with some packing stuff. The nanosecond the box was emptied, Roxy claimed it as her space. She's...

Okay - this time *I*saw the kitty. About 5-6 months old, gray/black stripey tabby. Had some curiousity about me as I trilled and breeped at it, but decided life was safer under the riding lawn mower. (NOTE TO SELF: Tell DH there may be a kitten in the riding lawn mower...) I put out some fresh...

Cast of Characters: Sammy - 5-month-old female kitten Mommy - MUCH older female human

The other night I went to bed after DH, and of course woke Moe. I endured her laps around the bed, and she finally settled in the crook of my knees (I was laying on my side). Almost as soon as she settled, I got the proverbial crook in my left knee (which is the side I was *trying* to sleep on). ...

A donation is being made in Eve's memory to the Ten Lives Club, a non-profit, cat-welfare charity and no-kill shelter. Her name shall also be submitted to the Western New York Sikh Society and the Sikh Cultural Center, where our congregations shall offer their weekly services and prayers for...

Talk about timing! Now that our group purr activity is completed, my wife tells me that Cleopatra seems to be feeling under the weather. She'll be getting her in to the vet tomorrow, but we could use purrs that she's just tired, not sick. That's one of the things I hate about being on the road -...

Hi the Unbelievable! He was trapped early Tuesday morning and he is at home now sitting on my computer desk looking quite at home. It was quite an operation staged by my parents, the cattery lady, kids in the neighbourhood who put up signs, and all of the people in the neighbourhood. My...

It has been one week since Skeeter was diagnosed with CRF, so it was back to the vet for a recheck. Some of her levels were down slightly, but her white count was up, so the doctor put her on a stronger antibiotic. Skeeter has not been eating much at all, and has lost 1/4 pound in the past week. ...

It is with great joy that I announce the newest addition to the household. Her name - just recently decided - is Matareka, which means charming, cheerful and loving. All of which describe her to a tee. She is mostly tabby but is while along the legs and on the stomach and around the neck. I had...

I'm back home and trying to catch up with over 1500 messages!!! Purrs to all those in need. My mom is hoping they'll release her from the hospital today. They've already taken out the catheter they used for medications and she's been walking around for several days now. It's amazing really,...

I guess I haven't formally introduced Marietta...she is a Siamese & Tortie DSH custom-blend adopted in October of last year. I was so sad, mopey and lonely for weeks after Comet passed away last fall plus Alan was (and still is) away on a work contract in Japan...one of my co-workers, Bill, gave...

I live in Copperas Cove TX and have 3 kittens I need to give away to a good home. Any takers in this area? An oops case; I can't keep more than the two adult cats I have. I thought I had the adult cats both fixed, but something went wrong!

Hello, my name is Demi and I am co-owner of CatNipped and CatNapped. This is the story of how I came into possession of my slaves. This happened a very long time ago, almost 6 years now, so I don't remember everything exactly. My meowmie says it's because I'm not the brightest bulb in the...

Hurricane Ivan appears to be done with Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. The latest forecast issued late Sunday afternoon has it turning north, tracking across western Cuba, into the Gulf of Mexico, and making landfall somewhere between New Orleans, Louisiana and Punta Gorda, Florida. OR it could...

Well, it hasn't been the best few days. My TV is still broken and is waiting for a part...who knows how long it will take to get back. My maid is quitting at the end of the year because one of her other houses has fired her :-( So now she doesn't have enough work around here and is going back to...

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...

My brother Dick died this morning. I'd been planning to post a follow up today on how well he was doing in recovering from the aneurysm that nearly killed him in July. He had finally made it out of the hospital and rehab and was home. All that was left was some physical therapy. I'm still in...
