It was as I feared. Her kidneys were too far gone. So I made the painful decision; Persia went to the bridge this afternoon. The vet gave me a little heart shaped stone "memory box" with some of her fur in it. She will be cremated and her ashes returned to me. Heartfelt thanks to all of you...

my cat has the best toy ever made..... all he needs is like 6 little squares of toilet paper and he plays and plays with it for hours and he is 10 years old. I have bought just about every cat toy ever made over the years and even have a toy box to store all these things in. It is only about...

http://www.theindychannel.com/family/4268157/detail.html there is a link to a video of this kitten. --� The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington! (And proud of it, too)© email me at nalee1964 (at) insightbb (dot) com

Joel thinks its slightly bizarre that I *insist* on tuning into a show - and a weird show that is playin gon our 'community' channel at that - purely by the fact that some cat group on the internet has recommended it. Never the less, I was delighted to discover that "Iron Chef" had finally made it...

Lula has a thing for jewelry. I habitually wear a watch, a bracelet, and my wedding ring, and she frequently seizes one of these with her teeth and yanks hard, hard enough that she'll succeed in breaking the bracelet one of these days. I can't figure out, though, whether she disapproves of...

Someone sent me this link. It's a tiny, tiny kitten that someone is hand-raising. It can't be more than a day or two old! The photos are really good. http://www.livejournal.com/users/fimbrethil/344936.html Joyce

Sorry! I just couldn't resist! Saw this roo today and snapped a pic with my cell phone: http://tinyurl.com/n4rg8 -- Britta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow. Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album

I've mentioned before that Ping loves being in the bedroom with Bam-Bam, Barney & Betty (Betty has her own theme song: Black Betty, by Ram Jam (originally by Leadbelly), listen here (first song at the bottom of...

wrote in message ... Well, I have to give Smudge antibiotics (flagyl), and I guess it must be foul-tasting stuff because the vet gave me little empty gel capsules to put the pill in first. Flagyl *is* nasty tasting...

When our kitties decide to "become bad" and "get" us, we know that they usually turn sideways and hunch up, or as my friend calls it, becoming a "witch kitty". Then they will likely run and paw at us, then dash off into the other room, daring us to follow, at our peril. Well, my big 19-pound...

Just wanted to send out mass purrs, congratulations, and laughter to everyone who needs/deserves/asks/whatever. I've been sick for several days, and life is pretty much going to hell in a handbasket, so I have missed two or three days (see, I can't even remember!) of posts, and it's impossible to...

Was just reading another cats group and there was a message there about another sick, sick case of cat torture. I won't even post the URL or details here, I wouldn't inflict that on you. I was at my desk and had to go to the ladies room to throw up and now I'm crying. It's times like these that...

Tamales, anyone?

The results took so long cause the lab lost one vial of blood and I had to give more. But the results are in now. Saturday I will have a conference with the doc about the results. The results are unbelievable!! Smoking caused my Hct and Hgb to be a bit too high; but everything else is just fine,...

If you are tender-hearted, *DO NOT* rent this movie. It was in the *children's* section at Hollywood Video, so I thought it would be a touching little movie about two tiger cubs. I had to quit watching it, it literally made me sick to my stomach. The tigers being killed left and right, the abuse...

I will have to admit I was a little nervous with the rescue group taking her to a distant vet, but I got this message late tonight: Dear Dad, I have been a really good little girl this week and I know you would be proud of me. I used my very best manners and was on my very best behavior. ...

Well, I'm scheduled for 11:00AM CDST tomorrow (Friday, August 20), and knowing how powerful the purrs from this group are, humbly ask for some purrs that the lithotripsy goes smoothly with no complications. Thanks guys. Hugs, CatNipped

My heart is breaking. I cannot find Oliver anywhere. We had company this weekend and they had been extremely diligent about making sure that Oliver didn't bolt but he might have snuck out when the luggage was being dragged out. We turned the apartment upside down and are now pretty sure that he...

I was watching TV and heard a loud conmotion coming from the dining room, like someone was charging against the door that leads to the car port. I got up and saw the neighbor's cat attacking Luna through the glass. I chased our cats away from the door and got out to chase Max away. I scared him off...
