.. Tonight she'll get a special salmon treat (the real stuff, not the stuff from a tin) as we celebrate her "purrday" (real birth date unknown). When we adopted her, the vet estimated her age as 3 years old, so today Five turns five ;) Happy Purrday! And I bet she just loves the...

I do a lot of my grocery shopping at little stores like those you can find all over the Ozarks that sell "discount" foods - e.i. dented cans, off brands, stuff that's almost past its "sell by" date, etc. Amazing how much it saves me. Sometimes they have premium pet foods like Iams for way less...

I have been so busy lately and I haven't had much computer time. Every chance i get to log on, there are at least 400 messages. So, if I've been neglectful of purrs in need, I'm sending some out to all. kili

I am losing my mind, or are there other people who sometimes feel electrical hits in the hand from the computer's mouse. Please, folks, don't be kind and say you have felt this if you have not. Be honest. I need to know if it's time to call the guys in the white coats to come and take me away to...

This week I had some renovations, painting done in my home and took the cats to Petsmart for boarding while this was being done. Picked them up Tuesday night and all went well with the boarding except the people lost a screw from my cat carrier and it took a while to find that. They did offer to...

I've been tracking the number of visitors to my video web page. So far, 43 unique hits, about half a dozen of which originated outside the USA. The 'sold' items now appear in a different color of text on the page, however, one customer wanted to me to pick some tapes and so those titles have not...

And what a mature guy he is: or thinks he is, but he couldn't resist an attack of the Zoomis last night and "chase" with claudius the hoolikitteen is still a regular feature. Snowball's fitted in to his promotion slot of grumpy middle owner, so sadly vacated by Pericles, extremely well. Every so...

from the Chicago Sun-Times (http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cat23.html) in summary - Last summer a Chicago-area man kicked and killed a neighbor girl's 9-week-old kitten because it came onto his property. He was convicted of "felony aggravated cruelty", and was sentenced today (Mar 23) to 6...

When Amelia was a little kitten she figured out that riding on shoulders was a lot of fun. Whenever Nancy or I got out of the shower we could count on having to drape a towel over our shoulders and pick up a shoulder kitten. When we adopted Tabitha it didnt' take her long to discover the wonders...

No pictures =/ I've never seen Oscar chase her tail. Last night, while we were watching TV, I heard some odd noises and turned to look. Not only was Oscar chasing her tail ... she was doing it on the very top of her cat tree, which can't be much more than a foot on each side! I half expected to...

Please look at this page: http://tinyurl.com/krqwr The article describes a cat that is between 46 and 50 pounds and "boasts a thickset 33-inch waistline." He eats 30 pounds of food each week! The owner claims that he is healthy, despite remarks that "he's a waddler" and "not much for running." ...

Baby was a cat. It was 1974 and I'd sit out on the driveway at my parents house as the sun was going down. This cat started coming around; I called her 'Baby'. She was a grey striped tabby; very skinny. I suppose you'd classify her as feral since she didn't ever have a home. She lived in...

Miranda has a very long tail. This can be a Good Thing, but it can also be a Bad Thing. just now, Miranda was on the top level of the cat tree, and Caliban was under her on the next level. Miranda's tail dangled over the side, and of course Caliban couldn't resist it. He batted it. This annoyed...

Hi Does anyone else have a cat that does this? This morning I gave them IAMS wet food for the first time and I know it was an enormous hit because Sarrasine made a point of telling me. Whenever she gets something she likes, she 'll come up, stand there until she is sure I have seen her and then...

I can't find my camera today or you'd be seeing a very cute pic, of seven kitties crowded around a flowerpot, all munching on living green grass that I just dug up from the yard and planted for them in the house.

So many unexpected expenses related to moving have flattened my budget. I had hoped to manage until I had a garage sale, but can't, therefore, I've made an inventory of my entire remaining video collection, 371 different titles (many hard-to-find) to offer for sale online until the garage sale when...

EEEK! I bought this thing over a week ago for a couple of dollars and I just *knew* Persia would hate it. But, like most of us, I can't stop myself from buying something I think my cat might like. A crinkle/crackle sac is something that is padded but makes noise like a plastic bag and she's...

Peter has a cyst on his hand just below where you would have a callus below your fingers. He was told my our family doctor that he will need surgery. We are going to see a hand doctor Thursday morning. His employer knows about the cyst but said it is not work related. It will be up to this...
