Cats Comforted By Synthetic Chemical, Research Suggests http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/11/001129074611.htm -- Alan Erskine We can get people to the Moon in five years, not the fifteen GWB proposes. Give NASA a real challenge

Persia had that bout with UTI last month which sent me scurring to the vet to find out the source of the blood on her pillow. He told me then, you can buy Purina One UR formula at a pet supply place but we'll start her out on this Rx stuff and then you can buy it on your own. I completely forgot...

Have a look over at 9 Chickweed Lane today (20/02/04) - it's a hoot :-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove dependency on fame & fortune **$*$om$$

Waaaah, Dennis left again this afternoon for work in Burma. He won't be back until March 31 :-( For some reason it just seems harder to have him leave this time than the other times. This is the 4th time. Our 8th wedding anniversary is this Saturday and he won't be here, but we did manage to...

ECONOMIC INSTRUMENTS or ON A WING AND A PURR By Sqn Ldr G E Whitelam, Int 3, HQ STC Most people wish to fly on the old gauges at one time or another but are prevented by the high cost of the instruments necessary for this form of flight. The following is a more or less known and extremely simple...

Those poor d*gs! So glad this couple found them and took them in. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki

My other half and I decided sometime ago that we should get another cat...we both decided that a grey kitten would be ideal!! SOOO....yesterday there were a litter of 6 week old grey kittens to be given away (microchipped, vaccinated and desexed)....where I work....SOO...I raced over there and as...

When I got home from work yesterday, I called the cats that were outside with the generic "kitty kitty, kitty". None showed up, but I heard a meow I didn't recognize coming from the garage. I went in and called again - the meow was fainter and hard to place. The garage is not used for cars, it...

Or maybe big ones, California may not be the same. As some remember, my mother and sister are somewhat.... volatile when they get together for extended periods of time. Well, my sister is expecting within a short order of time. Within the week or outside of three (we know how that goes) I should...

That's right - this week Sir Weeble Wobblybottom (whose bottom is no longer wobbly at all) will be 6 months old. I found him on 8/22 of last year, and he was less than a week old, so our vet pinned his Birthday as being 8/18/03. Does anyone know of any cat-friendly cake recipes (but yet still...

So it's Friday afternoon and I'm sitting watching TV. I start hearing agitated meows that seem to be coming from outside. I figure it's the grey and white kitty that does that sometimes. However, the sound keeps moving from the front to the side and it's very clear. Suddenly it hits me, that's...

I usually roast a chicken once a week. The first night we eat the breast and wing with a salad, and the next day I use the thigh and leg meat for quesadillas or something. We can't leave half a chicken on the kitchen counter, or it will become cat food. It's happened a couple of times. So now I...

I bought a bag of (non-dyed) pistachio nuts and have been snacking on them. Persia was sniffing at the bag, crying, whining, fussing. So I gave her a shelled pistachio. She licked at it, pretended to chew on it, spit it out and left it on the carpet. Now she's whining at the bag again. What...

Stacey contacted me and told me she has posted some pics of the kittens she is visiting in her folder (stacey) on Catslaves. They are titled South Carolina Kittens. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to access Catslaves for a few days, so I can't check them out, but hope everyone else can. Also,...

Thank you all for your help and advice, but I think the animal has been found - dead! I never saw the little (uggghhhh) creature, but my neighbour had a bad (she said "foul" but it wasn't really that bad) smell coming from her bedroom ceiling. The rodent catcher found a dead RAT. It had been...

I have some photos of Persia on Webshots and they offer a variety of things you can do with your photos. Since I'm planning to take a trip in the Spring, and since *everyone* seems to have a grey nubby garment bag that looks just like mine, I ordered a luggage tag from them to attach to it. Oh,...

Hello, Just found this group, and have a question concerning a little 5 year old solid black female short hair cat I have. ... Recently her hair has started to get "matted" and very difficult to brush or comb out...this has never happened before now.. is there a special grooming tool or something...

Dennis hadn't eaten but had he drunk something? Lots of peanut stuff over there and those allergies can develop literally over night. Happened to a friend in college that way and ended up being peanuts. I mean, there could be residue on a glass or something? I hope he finds out soon. I'd hotfoot...
