O J dumped this in on 25 Apr 2004: Just spent a few minutes watching the kittens of Mama Cat who has moved them up onto our porch. Lynda was going to move my mobility cart and started by taking the cover off it. What...

I just lost a neighbor to senseless violence, and it has me really upset. This couple next door has been having their troubles for some time, until finally she ran him off. Her brother was there at the time, as well as her father. The three of them made it clear to the one of him that he better...

We had visitors to-day and someone remarked thoughtfully that there was a cat on the roof. Our lounge looks out onto big beams that criss cross a U-shaped area. Bonnie was busy balancing on the beams like a tight-rope walker and yowling. I laughed merrily. "She's always doing that," I said. ...

As a result of yesterday's approx 50 mile cycle ride to make the most of the lovely weather, my legs ached a tad (a lot) last night. As I was stretched out in my bed, Waffles stretched out along side me. Obviously, me going "Ouch! Ouch!" everytime I moved brought out the caring side of her nature....

New pics of the black three are posted on abpa. I will load them to my yahoo album later and post that link for those without abpa access. Kaern

A quick note to drop in and say hi. My mom is visiting us from Mexico, so I haven't had time to read the group. Purrs to all in need though. We took mom to Houston to visit Tom's parents and the art museum there (it's really good). She closed the door to her room before we left because she didn't...

I highly recommend Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I just saw it and it is such an unusual movie, somehow sweet, sad and funky at the same time. Really enjoyable. Karen

Thanks for all the good thoughts guys. :) Both masters are home and safe, with no side effects from their dentals. HRFL Tiger has 2 teeth out and Pandora had 3 teeth out. All were rotten, so they must have been uncomfortable. :( Anyway - thanks again - the good thoughts helped tremendously! Helen...

Persia has been suffering from urinary problems lately, so I got some new UR (urinary tract) food for her. I opened the bag of this new stuff tonight and she went NUTS. Gimme, gimme, I want it, now! Sheesh, you'd have thought I was offering her a can of salmon! Crunch, crunch, chomp......

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/South/04/16/shipped.cat.ap/index.html In summary, this article (with photo) is about what happened when a man in Tampa, Florida opened a crate of bird cages that had been shipped to his business from China - out jumped a cat. The crate had been shipped by boat from China...

I know I mostly lurk these days, but please could HRFL Tiger and Pandora have some purrs and good thoughts? They are both having major dentals tomorrow and I am worried sick. I'm particularly stressed because Tiger has quite a serious heart complaint, and of course, my brain is working overtime...

DH will have his spinal surgery Thursday, April 29, in Pittsburgh. We will be gone almost a week, and Cinder and Rosie will receive twice-daily visits from the cat sitter. I hope they will not be too upset that we will be gone so long. If you get any strange posts from this computer, you'll know...

(this is NOT a cheap commercial thing!) Today Seumas has died and joined our Julia at the other end of the Rainbow Bridge... If you want to leave a message on the message board please do so at http://julia.webhop.org

Vernon took my car in to be serviced this morning. The courtesy car he has come back in is actually the private car of the receptionist. She has a d*g. When Vernon pulled up in the driveway, Waffles & Francis were out in the sun. Seeing Paw in a different vehicle necessitated a good sniffing of...

'nother storm here - guess I might as well stop posting about them since they're be a regular thing this time of year. The weatherman said the other night that the storms would probably start hitting a little further west each day, and he was right this time. Last time we just got brushed by the...

John found the half-used cake of soap in the middle of the lounge. I followed the trail of various type pills through the dining-room and down the hallway. John found the eye dropper and the bandages on the floor of the bathroom. Other medicines were all around the wash-basin with more pills,...

O J wrote: Eliana had a thing about cats and didn't want one to touch her in any way. Naturally, Misty took advantage of this by coming down the stairs and going to rub up Ellie's leg. It's hard to put a finger on what it was about small furry animals that gave...

"O J" wrote in message ... Hi All, Good news for those who are admirers of big cats. I just saw this on my Yahoo interface to the Associated Press. Good for the big kitties! Regards and Purrs,

A while ago, there was alink to a great Blog that featured Spainy the Cat. The authoress was a talented writer, and was either studying (or had graduated with) a degree in something like classic literature or something that effectively required her to have very good writing skills. Unfortunatley I...

The Cat Album updated with among other handsome cats, Bruiser. http://www.thecatalbum5.homestead.com/1243.html http://www.thecatalbum5.homestead.com/1244.html I sent two others as well so hopefully those will go up soon. Some of the same ones I posted to the animal pictures news group so nothing...
