Show of hands, everyone! How many of you have considered *not* making your bed in the morning because the cat has settled down in the warm spot you left, and looks so darn cute that you don't want to disturb her? Princess Rita did that this morning. I *did* disturb her, but gently, and she ended...

As I'm at the other end of the world the only thing I can do is forward news about Katrina's victims I get on groups or lists to other groups and lists. Hope you don't mind. Please feel free to cross post. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pets & Animals in Distress"...

I can't have any sort of plant-like things in my house, otherwise Buffy tries to eat them. Well, I found a (new in the wrapper) scented Christmas candle in the hall closet. I guess it belonged to my mother. I'm not a candle person by any means. It had a decoration of fake holly with fake...

Not the way we were planning it, which was Mom keeping Marlo indefinitely. But we have a big hurricane bearing down on us and, while we don't think it will hit us directly, it's going to be bad. Mom doesn't want to stay at her house alone, and I want to be in mine since I have three cats to keep an...

I'm looking for advice and suggestions for not having to replace the cats' water supply several times a day. The thing is, Tommy is never content to simply drink water from a dish - at the very least, he has to splash it all over the place with his paw, and when the water level goes below half...

Several times I've posted here at RPCA about the adventures of Mooch, our little tuxie resident stray who shows up regularly on our veranda for meals (see the most recent thread, "Mooch gets friendly". Someone nicknamed "Treeline has asked several questions about him, and then today "Lesley" in the...

Is there a rabies vaccination for cats that lasts longer than a year? I thought there was a 3 or 5 year vaccination. The local vet says no. This is for a feral cat that is really hard to catch on a yearly basis! Thanks!

About 2:00 this afternoon Amber started twitching her legs. I made a vet appointment for 3:45. When I put her in the carrier she had stopped breathing. The vet tech confirmed that she was gone. I left her to be cremated. I'm glad that she died peacefully. She left a big hole in my heart. We...

Hello all, Some of you know me -- came here a few months ago and got tons of very good advice. Now crunch time may be coming. FINALLY we may be getting some cats. Two, to be exact. We were supposed to go to the shelter and make a decision last week. Then a business trip came up (one I really...

This is not that far away and good dang reason I dam sure don't swim in water that I can't see the bottom SEBASTIAN INLET, Fla. -- A diver may have had a brush with a great white shark off Sebastian Inlet in Brevard County -- and the close encounter was caught on video. The diver posted the...

What do you put on a Fractal sandwich? Mandlebrot-wurst *runs out of the room* Hugs Kyla

Hi Obviously the above statement is a complete lie as you can NEVER spend too much time on rpca but having been gulity of everyone of the things below I guess it's worth sharing 1. When you ask your partner what he wants for dinner and he says "I would love a KFC" it takes you a minute to realise...

When I log onto my email account, I always get a little message - sometimes humorous, sometimes meaningful, sometimes just bizarre. It's from a little program called "fortune" - ie, it's like a Chinese fortune cookie. Anyway, when I just logged on just now, here's the little fortune message I...

After Buffy spent a couple of minutes on the freshly washed "crackle sack" I looked around and she'd disappeared. I figured she'd wandered into the den, or maybe the guest bedroom. I got up to do something and guess where she was? In the carpeted barrel of Persia's old cat perch....

There is a great anniversary celebrated this week. No, not that one-- the anniversary of the day I took my sweet little buddy off the subway tracks and brought him home. It was seventeen years ago. (NB: Stinky's seventeenth purrday was celebrated nat the beginning of the year) Life certainly...

My grandma is in the hospital. She was having trouble breathing and is now on oxygen and pills to get fluid out of her lungs. She is getting weaker and weaker, and she is 94, and my dad says it doesn't look good. My grandma hates being dependent on everyone and being almost blind and I know she...

Waffles is very ill. He has cancer and is eating very little. On the way home from the vet, he peed in his cat carrier, which is fabric. Some of it went on the car seat. I've tried water and Nature's Miracle, and can't get rid of the stench. Does anybody have any other solutions to get rid...
