Five years ago today, our beloved Quetzie left us for the RB. He was an awesome cat, a sweet and gentle soul who taught me just how much you can love an "animal" and how much they can love you back. A few pictures of my baby boy can be found...

I mentioned her recently: she's the lovely lady who rescues unhomable elderly cats & spoils them for the brief remainder of their lives. Purrs were forthcoming from you kindly souls for her future serious operation. This takes place on Tuesday morning, and maybe afternoon too, UK time, so 1am US...

Anyone had experience of this? Neither of mine are giving me any problems with this, but it's cropped up on the cat thread on a newspaper talkboard, and I said I'd try and find out a bit more. Presumably the best cure is to remove the dishes and use china or metal or something similar. Anyone...

For the past two days, our Roxie has been pulling guard duty at the top of the stairs, bapping Stosh and Brandy if they try to push the door to Odessa's room open or cause general mischief. Roxie and Odessa each know that there is someone on the other side of the door. I heard a conversation this...

Well, it seems our little Fez has developed an affinity for opening cabinet doors. First it was the aquarium, where he stepped on the power switch and turned everything off. Now he's getting into the cabinet under the sink, where we keep cleaners and other assorted hazards. This is the first time...

I just thought some people might like to see a pic of Stinky's RB "big" sister, Mimi. She was a tiny girl, with an enormous personality, which I think you can see in this picture. http://community.webshots.com/photo/125591586/203810491iBNZxa Theresa Stinky Pictures:...

Boyfriend has been almost in self-imposed exile since my aunt and uncle came almost three weeks ago. He was just too afraid to come in during the daytime, and waited until they went to bed. They went home yesterday. He peeped into the kitchen today and found I was the only person here, so he's...

Bouncing bitties--raising feline "children" Between Smokey and Nocturne, my partner and I thought we had sufficient cats for a two-bedroom apartment. In the summer of 2003, I was on military service, he was finishing his masters' degree, and we were three weeks away from moving halfway across the...

Those of you who were posting here four years ago or so may remember that Jasper, our handsome black DSH male, has a small bald patch on one leg. He was involved in a fight; his leg was bitten, and one of the many punctures became infected with an abcess as the result. Luckily our fantastic vet...

Does anyone else have a cat that likes to suck on there shirt. whenever sadie comes up to be petted she lays on my chest and has to suck on whatever part of my shirt i'll let her. no matter how hard i try she doesn't stop. why does she do this???

I noticed it yesterday when I was brushing his teeth. I figured I'd check to see if he needs another claw trim while I was doing "cat maintenance". He's such a good boy, he lets me do all that stuff without too much protest. So I noticed that his pinky claw on his left front paw was all split...

Hi All, I'm not suggesting that you not read this, nor am I suggesting that you turn away. It's a very sad story about a little kitty that I only had for a little more than twenty-four hours. While I was recuperating from a debilitating illness, my sweet Lynda came home one day with an...

Hi all, It's been a busy couple of weeks at my end, and I've fallen behind on Nina updates. I've added seven new Nina Pics to my Yahoo Photo album: http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/prince_nigel_h/detail?.dir=/11f2&.dnm=828e. jpg&.src=ph We had a small family reunion for my mother's birthday on...

Sorry if anyone thinks this is too long. I broke it down into parts and seriously considered posting each part separately, but then decided that if I were one of those reading I'd rather get the whole story in one fell swoop. Anyway, there's Rocky's Story, from his viewpoint. Part One - I Become...

Hurricane Ivan appears to be done with Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. The latest forecast issued late Sunday afternoon has it turning north, tracking across western Cuba, into the Gulf of Mexico, and making landfall somewhere between New Orleans, Louisiana and Punta Gorda, Florida. OR it could...

On Mon, 25 Oct, Joyce wrote: This morning, though, I woke up to see Roxy giving Smudge a good workover on the crown of her head and the back of her neck - just the places a cat can't reach herself. Smudge was purring up a storm. Her fur was pretty damp and matted by the time we all got out of...
