[OT] Halloween ettiquette by
Yowie
Australia doesn't do Halloween.
Well, didn't.
The local kids have cottoned onto the fact that if they put on stupid
clothes and knock on people's doors, that some suckers will give them candy.
But, by and large, we still don't celebrate Halloween.
Thus we were quite unprepared for the knock on...

Peking, Red China (Peking Morning Post) -- Police were alerted after a
lonely widower was found to be keeping 200,000 cockroaches as pets.
A horrified neighbor saw the insects swarming across the floor of the man's
house. The pensioner told police he had begun breeding the cockroaches as a

Aaargh - busybody neighbor! :( by
[email protected]
I have this neighbor who seems to be convinced that I'm starving my cat.
Her concern was touching at first, but now it's just getting annoying.
A bit insulting, too.
If you've followed my story about Smudge conning the neighbors out of
food and treats, you can jump over the next several...

Frank's operation by
Marina
Frank is scheduled for his dental surgery on the 27th. I have to take
him in to the vet school hospital before 8 in the morning and I get to
pick him up after 4 in the afternoon. I know I'll be a nervous wreck all
day. Actually, I'm a nervous wreck already. Frank will be 17 next month,
and it's...

Purrs for Boone by
Margaret Fine
If you can spare a few purrs, prayers, or tail wags today for a dog that
loves cats, we would all appreciate it. Our Lab, Boone, fell ill over
the weekend and got worse yesterday. We thought at first it was a flare
up of his irritable bowel syndrome and put him on the meds we have on
hand for...

It's been nice, but... by
CatNipped
This group has enriched my life, but I just can't deal with the few @$$holes
determined to make me feel worse than I already do right now.
I still haven't heard anything from my mom - I don't know if she got to
safety before the storm hit or not, Sunday was her 80th birthday and I
didn't even get...

Nikki is 16 today! by
Marina
It's my little girl's birthday. I can't believe she's been with me for so
long! As my sister said this summer, she might as well be 5 years old, she
has retained her kittenish looks all her life. I made a little album of her
birthday activities on...

Ding Returns from the Mothership by
Howard Berkowitz
I spent another largely sleepless night worrying about Ding, as well as
a large number of real-world things like house repair before
refinancing, doing contracts, getting more contracts, etc.
After getting to sleep at about 3AM, being cuddled tightly by Mr. Clark,
I woke up again at around 6, and...

Emergency by
Marina
I had to take Frank to the emergency vet today. This morning, he was
straining on the litterbox, then a little gas escaped and two small,
hard poops. Oh, I thought, he is constipated. I broke out the paraffin
oil. Took some in a dropper, and had a huge fight with Frank before I
managed to squirt a...

Still, as any of you have previously organised The List, it needs alot of

[OT] Bikini Waxing by
CatNipped
Does anyone do it themselves???
I usually just shave, but my daughter said waxing is *much* better (never
any razor burn or bumps, no stubble, etc.), so I figured I'd give it a try.
Not having 100% visual access to the site I wanted waxed, I thought to
enlist DH's help (OK, in retrospect, it was...

Where are you from? by
Katz
Not long ago, somebody started a "What do you do for a living?" thread.
That was real interesting. I'm a relative newcomer, and I haven't fixed
in my mind where everybody lives.
What country/state do you live in? Is that where you're originally
from?
I live in Pennsylvania, USA. I've moved around...

Cinder & Rosie have surprise visitors by
Annie Wxill
Hi everyone,
I guess I forgot to turn the radar off. That's how they know where to find
me. Usually it's cats, but occasionally, it's another furry creature.
Saturday we went boating and spent the night at a marina. While we were
there, two puppies showed up, obviously dumped. Definitely in danger...

A word of advice... by

If you can help it, never, never, never sit out the dregs of a
hurricane in the company of a cat in heat.
We are supposed to call TED this week to make an appointment for
Tallulah's spay and Hubert's shots. (Today is a holiday in the US,
and TED is closed.) It's been raining steadily for two...
