Rainbow Bridge There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colours. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There...

Hi Everyone! Just a really short note to say that I'm finally online again! I've been here for over 3 weeks and signed up for my phone line and internet right away, but it took until yesterday for it all to be done. I think it's because we're living in such a small town 3 hours from...

I caught Maya using the Littermaid this morning. When Bruiser started using it it I never saw her use it again. Not that big a thing because in the summer she usually goes outside. But this means I don't have to keep the second litter box and I can move the littermaid back to the spare bedroom. ...

Now Victor and Tom have decided to come to good old blighty.... (You're stuck with it now Victor! ;o)) Can I please have a role call of who would be likely to pitch up? Judging by the number of us there is likely to be, it might be worth us thinking about booking a resturant. I know several fun,...

The video shows a cat with one it obviously knows, after it's been hit by a car. The cat, unable to do anything, is obviously sad. So am I :( http://videogoneviral.com/2010/04/cat-tries-to-revive-friend-hit-by-car-very-sad%20/ or:

My baby Catherine is now almost 5 months old. Just recently she has started showing obvious interest in the cats. Tonight I was holding her and DH was showing her our wall calendar, which has a different Maine Coon cat for each month. Catherine gazed eagerly at the calendar, with a big smile on...

I don't know what happened.... Eli and Tommy were outside this evening, and I heard some commotion and screaming of cats. Went out and found Tommy on the roof and Eli nowhere in sight, nor did he come when called as he usually does. I kept calling for Eli every few minutes. Finally he came out...

I don't know what to do about it. He drives me mad when I am at home. I feed him and two hours later he claims he needs another meal. He doesn't of course. It's the weekend and he won't leave me alone, he is purring around my feet insisting he is starving all the time. He is not starving. I...

I've mentioned before about my brother and my mom are both dog folks, and have Springer Spaniels that are at least as spoiled as my kitties. My mom has become especially close to her dog, Cali. Mom's chemo has been very rough on her, and she has come to really rely on Cali's company. Cali has been...

Nikki loves paper bags. (She likes plastic, too, but I don't leave those lying around for her.) http://tinyurl.com/ltp9 -- Marina

She's normally terrified of thunder. Runs and hides. Tonight a bad storm rolled through and we lost electricity. She did her usual vanishing act. But then the storm subsided and I woke up when the power came back on. She wandered into the bedroom, meowing at me. Wanted pats and...

My greatest fear is tornados that strike in the night when I'm asleep, but I am too tired to stay awake any longer tonight and don't want to sleep in the dank basement which I have so far not had time to clean. Would appreciate some purrs to keep me & the owners safe tonight.

Tonight Rob is getting his favorite foods, Metalloid, Mashed potatoes with gravy, Canned Corn (couldn't afford fresh or frozen, on the cob today) Salad, Lemon Cake with lemon icing, and vanilla and orange sherbet swirl ice cream. One of our purrday traditions is that the purrday person gets to...

Little Emma passed peacefully in her mother's arms late last night. Thanks so much for all the purrs - I'm sure they helped to keep her comfortable. Sorry I don't have better news. Brenda

Wasn't your every day burger. I make these things with diced water chestnuts, teriyaki sauce, dry sherry, grated ginger root. So I broiled some of these. They tend to be crumbly. I had two burgers on a paper plate on toasted buns. Set the plate on the coffee table and went to get a beer; came...

My cats share a scratching post that is going on 6 years. They have enjoyed it for years but they have had the expected effect on the carpeting. If anybody knows of sites showing on how to recover in carpet or replacing / wrapping the uprights in rope/cord would they post them. Sites that...

I went to the memorial service yesterday. It was a beautiful UU service, with many of his friends getting up to speak about what he meant to them. There were heart-wrenching stories, and laughter both. The hard part for me was finding out what I had suspected, but did not know for sure. Phil...
