Starting a new thread so Tweed won't think we're all gossiping about her. :) Mike wrote: The mistakes that bother me the most are the use of SEEN where SAW would be correct and the incorrect use of THERE, THEIR, and THEY'RE. Grammar peeves are like... well, you know. :) Everybody has one....

Gilbert in my youngest grandson's cat. He is a great big grey boy who lives to snuggle with his kid and his mom. When my daughter came to pick up her son tonight, she told me that Gilbert is sick and probably won't make it. He has a urinary blockage, and a catheter hasn't helped. Apparently...

Sorry for the double post, but I thought this was important enough to merit its own thread rather than being lost in the "Why one should not breed & sell pets" thread. The US is really becoming a nation of cowering alarmists - and we are hurting ourselves in the very act of trying to protect...

Central Iowa has had some cold weather and wind storms, but nothing like the folks in nearby states have been getting. IL, IN, and MO have been having awful winds, ND, SD, NE, and WI have getting bitter cold - all of you in those areas, just dig in and hang on. We're sending our purrs...

Some of our posts have gotten included in the wrong vein. Like some in depression that don't belong there. and, on the one about a father being terribly ill.

Leo - one of the four little ones who were put in a cardboard box in front of my house mid december 2007 might have a pneumonia. Since yesterday I see him breathing heavily and can`t do anything about it as he doesn`t allow me near to him. He, from the start, was the one who doesn`t come nearer as...

as i said in another thread i have lots of flaws, one of them is buying something that sounds good... then staring blankly into the air without an idea how to cook it... so what i need is a recipe to cook the two beautiful large ones i bought this week, simpler would be better, less fat would be...

Be careful about having certain kinds of pets around babies, who can't get away if the pet starts playing too roughly. A pet ferret managed to get into a room with a four-month-old baby, and bit off seven fingers. http://www.kmbc.com/r/26435615/detail.html -- John F. Eldredge --...

Catnipped was rushed to the emergency room on Thursday around noon. 10:30PM Thursday night they found out a portion of her intestine had died due to no circulation. By midnight she was being operated on and had two and a half feet of intestine removed. She has infections in her abdomen, blood...

Hi everyone, sorry to bother you all but I need some purrs desperately. Mango has been relegated to The Outdoors....enclosure that is, for the past few months as he and Jasmine have taken a heyuge dislike to each other and until we move to a bigger house (midway through this year) I have to...

The barn kittens had their first visit to TED this afternoon after Christine got off work. They were little angels during the exam. Got wormed and first shots. Very healthy, no earmites, no fleas, no URIs, good weight, about 7 weeks old. Four boys and two girls. Four short hair and two...

Tomorrow, today, September 17 is Rob's last day in the army. It seems strange to know that we won't have the same life that we were used to. True, this last year has been different than before, but there was still the thought that Rob was in the military. No more field problems with Rob coming...

Persia was chasing something around, I didn't see what it was. Then she came walking around from behind her cat cradle and had something in her mouth. I looked and saw legs dangling. Ewww! She dropped this huge waterbug/palmetto bug onto the carpet; it was still alive and she started swatting...

I got her a soft cozy mat to lay on and set it down last night. She sniffed it and took her time getting on it; she wasn't quite used to it but I figured she'd like it. Just a few minutes ago she hovered over it and I thought she was trying to defecate on it. What came out was bright red blood!...

Well, I'm back from Burma, the most different place I've ever been. And I've been to many countries! I got to Yangon on the evening on the 21st and did nothing but check into the hotel at the airport and go to sleep. The next morning I had to get up at 5 am and go to the airport, my plane was...

For some reason, there have been a lot of repairmen around the front of my apartment this week. And Persia, rather than getting all freaked out and hiding, is acting like a guard-cat! It was, I swear, 10:00 at night when I heard someone walking through the pine needles in front of my office...

Hi all, I feel out of sorts being gone for a week, now catching up on school work. :( Dallas was nice and warm, although I am disappointed no cowboys, not even a horse in sight. :( Although the closest I came to "country" was at Gilley's where I rode the mechanical bull and tripped over my own...

Sigh! I knew I was getting too complacent by comparing how much better the cat situation is this year compared to last year this time....but, dangitall, I'm getting tired of feuding felines... Heard a ruckus in Celeste's bedroom this afternoon and sure enough, Midnight was beating up on Tucker and...

I took Frank to the vet last spring for a blood test to check his thyroid level. I thought then that we wouldn't have to do that for a whole year, because he was doing so well then. But, unfortunately, lately he seems to have been losing weight. I can feel his spine when I stroke him, and...
