I know real life interferes at times but this ng has suddenly gone quiet. :( Jill

Just thought I would pass on something that happened last night. Candles and cats together in a house probably aren't a good idea anyway, but I never had any problem. I was always careful to put them in a heavy votive holder and not to put them on the coffee tables where the cats jump. Anyway, I...

For several weeks she's been coming in, eating, sleeping, playing. My cats have accepted her into the pack. Her owner put a collar on her so I know she's not a stray. She's a nice cat, about the same age as Hondo. She's getting about the age to go into heat. I've started locking her out of the...

Got up early this morning, well at least early for a Sunday. Even after 10 years after retirement from the Army, I still wake up about 5 most mornings. Most of the time I just turn over and go back to sleep, but this morning Sammy noticed me awake and decided it was a perfect time for some quality...

My brain is so tired it's hard to think, but i think i'll let it operate a little more so I can vent. First of...

Quick, somebody start a flame war - it's urgent, I need a recipe! ; My ex Monster-In-Law had only one good thing going for her - she cooked, and baked, from scratch, anything she put on her table. I'd gotten most of recipes and techniques early on in the marriage, but one this one that I'm...

Can I please have some purrs for Mosey? We're taking him to TED in about an hour. Poor baby just isn't feeling good and we have alot of stress going on here, and I pray he's okay. His teeth seem to be doing okay, but he's just not feeling good. I'm worried about my cute little guy and we...

Comforting thoughts requested for our friend Susie who lost her beloved stallion http://www.abacusfarms.com/Ulrik.html Click the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page if you would like to send Susie a condolence message. Thanks, Pat

Well, yes of course I am. But some days there is just so much provocation. Junk email is bad enough. I figure TV advertising is the price I pay for the programming on TV, and at least junk mail costs the sender something and helps to support the post office. But junk email is just too...

On another group I mentioned that since I deaf I can't hear water running and a friend replied with her efforts to get her cat to stop turning the water on. Reposted here with her permission. "Jo Firey" wrote in message ... My big problem...

Siamese cats are not by nature a needy animal. They are aloof. Masters of all they survey. They may permit scritches if it makes us happy and they may even share the occasional purr. Physical closeness is also permitted and everyone knows shared body heat is a good thing. And of course an...

I love how cats imitate the positions of those (other felines, humans, dogs, whomever) around them: http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2009/01/cat-and-baby.html -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.)

She started sneezing a few days ago, I didn't think anything of it at first but now there is green gunk coming down one nostril. She hasn't eaten this evening and is hugging the fire. I guess she can't smell her food and feels poorly. She has CRF and cannot afford to not eat. She has never...

As most of you know, my husband, Rob, was retired from the army with brain cancer. The army has declared Rob as being 100% disabled, but the Veterans Administration, who are the people who ultimately pay Rob's bills, decided that Rob was only 30% disabled and send him $500 a month because he...

The Haven, our local no-kill pet shelter is having a candlelight vigil for homeless and lost pets. I'm getting ready to head out the door now. Will fill you in later. Pam S.

I have discovered that putting someone in KF does no good, they just keep showing on other posts of people I read. I just wish we could drop some of the stuff and move on back to our "family" type caring. Yeah, I know old lady wants harmony and life isn't like that.

In fond memory of Dave... Cast of Characters: Sammy - 9-month-old female kitten Jessie - 5-year-old female cat Mommy - MUCH older female human Mommy walks through the sitting room, looks at the Christmas tree

To whoever posted about the new Sheba, I thought you'd be interested. I got a sample can in the mail today and my cats loved it. It doesn't look anything like the old Sheba and indeed is in a metal can the size of a Fancy Feast can. I guess I have another food I can add to what they will eat....

The other two, with minimum complaint, accept flea collars. Ding shook his off within minutes last season. Tonight, all I did was unroll the thing, as he was enjoying the lap scratching (and I was not enjoying grooming out the fleabits)...BOOM....struggle. He just wanted to get away, and clearly...

See if you can get out of the Crimson Room (or is it the rubber room, lol) I am still trying! http://www.fasco-csc.com/works/crimson/crimson_e.php -- Dogs may shed, but cats shred.
