Persia was probably 3 years old when she adopted me. The vet guessed, based on looking at her teeth. So that would make her now 5-1/2. I've noticed when she rolls over on her back, she has grey (white-ish) fur on her belly. Her front paws also seem to be getting a tad lighter. Is my chubby...

Anyone using a Weazel Ball? A Weazel Ball is a baseball size motorized ball which travels across the floor powered by a AA battery. It comes with a tail but I removed that. My 14 1/2 pound cat seems to like it, as usual acting shy at first. I will give it a couple of weeks to a month and report...

X:no-archive I hope I did the above right. This is the first time I've ever tried it. Most of you will remember my birthday post, about the two kittens and the horrendous situation that occurred, and that I was only reasonably able to rescue one from the animal abusing family. The other night,...

Buffy loves sitting on the computer chair next to me. I finally managed to snag a picture of her sitting there. She has such a pretty face! http://i59.tinypic.com/34tbn1k.jpg Jill

I have a friend who has three cats, and while she was driving me to hospital the last time, I asked her whether hers liked catnip or not. She said two of them did, and one was absolutely mad about it. I told her that I'd bought Kitty & BF a catnip mouse (no interest) and then a catnip spray, which...

This is both on and off topic, but anyway... Lately, a girl (no, woman) has more and more made it clear to me that she thinks I am the answer to her dreams. On Friday she told me in pure words. Of course I was flattered, because I like her very much, too, but... I just don't think I can do it. We...

I figured out how to edit and compress the video I took. I put it on the RPCAPhotos group on Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RPCAPhotos/files). The format is Windows Media and it's almost 4MB in size, my apologies if you can't open this format; let me know and I'll send you a file saved as...

Hi CN. I sent this to you privately yesterday, but am posting too in case it didn't turn up. SO sorry to learn this. Major purrs from my 3 boys that the pain isn't too great. Empathy from me: I lost disc L3/4 in 1982 and L4/5 in 1984 in necessary removal operations. Plus a scar tissue etc....

Last night, Betty started smacking her lips and occasionally rubbing at her jaw, which was unusual, so I checked her mouth and found that a lower fang seemed to be slightly misaligned. I set up a vet appointment this morning to have it looked at. The vet found that the tooth was very loose, and...

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...

Their new user interface is just about unusable. Very very slow, often doesn't succeed in loading complete pages, and worst of all: I used to access pages via their RSS feed in my Firefox bookmarks toolbar. That is no longer being updated, and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting a list of...

I got this at my work email today: "Well, I am really upset so the only thing that I will say is that Holly's pain and suffering are over and that is all that matters, I have cryed all I can. End of Story. In a way she is better off because she was talking about not going back to work because she...

Lately, there were problems with mice getting in through the walls behind the kitchen counters. I found droppings on the counter, in drawers and three dead mice in glue traps. I clogged up the gaps connecting the counter to the wall. Still a big hole inside the conter where the water pipe connects...

I hate it when I have to stay awake till the watch is over. This one's on until 1:00 AM. The sirens in this town are not loud enough to wake me. I need to get a NOAA weather radio that can be set to sound alarm when a tornado warning is issued. Also need to cut a trap door in the floor so I can get...

Hi I would appreciate any help on what is probably an old chessnut. I am not much good at gardenening. We moved home last year and now have quite a nice garden, it has cost money and a lot of work. Cats are insisting on digging up my flower beds and pooing everywhere. I have tried:

Just reading on CNN.com there was a 4.5 quake in northern California overnight. It was reported to have been centered on the small town of King's Beach, California (in Placer County), which is apparently about 15 miles SW of Reno, Nevada. Anyone here in that area? Is all ok? Jeanne Hedge, as...
