I have got some mails from Annie, as we are trying to arrange a meeting. I hope we will see each other on Monday in Lund, even if it will be very brief. If we do I will report. And I will get a picture! Annie asked me to say Hello to you all if I am on the RPCA newsgroup. So: Hello from...

Hi All, For those who like cartoons about cats, not cute ones, but a little more real, there's an excellent collection of cartoons right now on a binaries group, alt.binaries.pictures.comics.reposts It's a collection of seven issues of, "Fat Freddy's Cat" by Gilbert Shelton. There are...

Hi All, I just spotted a potential recruit on soc.religion.paganism who wrote a very nice article about his family of cats and whether ferals and rescues are as likely to bond to their human as a kitten. The article was titled "OT: The cats as of 15 August". I invited him to join us, let's hope...

I just want you all to know how wonderful you are. I needed someone to listen and understand my feelings about Fireball. I knew you were all great, but I was overwhelmed by your response. Thanks again. Head butts to you and yours, Lisa.

Thanks for your responses. Glad you enjoy the stories. I try to focus on the kitties, but sometimes they are all asleep so there's nothing much to say. :) (Wait, Su-Ling just twitched......) We have a lot of similar dogs boarding at the clinic, some arrived last friday, if I may speak about...

OK, most of you have read of my troubles with the Feliway diffusers (they made Weeble very skittish), and since he has improved after I removed them, I am offering them up to whoever wants them. I have the following: 2 diffusers 1 with about 1/4 bottle 1 with about 1/2 bottle 5 (that;s right,...

Persia hasn't done this since I first was adopted by her. Last night she decided the place to be was on the pillow above my head (I have several on my bed). I reached up to pat her and she playfully wrapped her paws around my hand, gave me a gentle nip. She basically let me know, she likes...

Not sure if this is old news or not, but I happened to stumble over a website called Pet Manual Forum, and it seems to provide access to a few pet related ng's, among others our "very own" rpca too. I seem to remember someone once asking if rpca was accessible without a newsreader, other than...

I love it when Persia snuggles up next to me, drapes a paw over my hand and then gently lays her head on my hand, too. Soft fuzzy love. And she's always purring gently when she does that :) Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off.

Thanks to everybody who offered help with my big plan to dehydrate surplus fruit for the squirrels this winter. I got off to a hot start today but interest is is already waning. First, I picked some grapes. It was near 100 degrees and I got chiggers. Brought my first sack of grapes inside, dumped...

Well, I'm still catching up on the NG. 1500 more messages to go, there were 2500 when I first got back. Sheesh you guys talk a lot! :-) I just wanted to thank everyone for purring for Dennis to pass his exams. I'm sure it helped as he did well and it was nice knowing that people were thinking...

I've also got a new album up of pictures from our recent trip to Perth. There's some scenery and ones of various animals we managed to see, pink and grey parrots, kangaroos and emus. Pics are he http://tinyurl.com/3hq6c -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock...

When I got Tiger at age 4 months, he was named Tweedles. I'm glad I changed it. Can you picture a 25 pound Maine Coon (?) being called Tweedles? ---MIKE---

For once, I'm actually on-topic. :-) A friend of mine in Newcastle, Australia, has two problems: very little money and a suddenly in-heat/possibly pregnant cat . Does anyone know of either a vet in that area who'll do the spay and take installment payments or a low-cost spay/neuter program in...

Pete the hospital cat caught a mouse!!! Unfortunately I was not there to see it. I heard it from Mike, a coworker of mine. He had walked into the breakroom and saw Pete staring intently at something behind a box. Pete pounces and Mike sees Pete holding a mouse in his mouth. Mike stares open...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I visited the Nashville (Tennessee) Zoo today. It is located on an old farm, and the farmhouse, called Grassmere and built circa 1810, is now a house museum. A number of outbuildings have also been preserved as a "historic farm", and they have draft...
