Keep those happy purrs coming! I got to hold my Odessa today, but she made me fight for it. She got me going in a game of Chase the Kitty that had me running all over the computer room. She's very graceful and ran and jumped with a gymnast's ease of movement. It was a pleasure just to watch...

Well, wasn't I boasting the other day that my cats had never hawked up a hairball? And indeed they hadn't, for years I'd never seen one at all, ever. I was out most of the day today sharing meals with relatives. I came home, lit the woodburner, sat on the rug in front of it to feed it and...I put...

The Feline 12 Days of Christmas On the first day of Christmas, my kitten ruined for me ... A batch of my special hand-print cookies. I had turned my back to grab the cookie sheet sitting on the stove. In that micro-second, Sara climbed onto the table, poked her paw into the delightfully kneady...

.... So cats have been instructed to purr for all those in need. They're going to a new cattery - old one weren't happy to administer jabs. I can understand their point of view - I wasn't exactly happy about it first time! See you all in a few days, -- Cathi

Hi all: I think that Chester is doing some middle-aged (just turned 8 yo) soul-searching. I think he's discovering his Inner Cat. Maybe our holiday desertion made some things more clear for him - like you only live once and he loves his people. Otis has always been the alpha-cat and Chester,...

It has been three weeks since Sam join the ranks of house cat and things are going very well. We brought him home from Ted on Monday, September 27 and he spent the next five days in isolation with a screen separating his room from the rest of the house. On Wednesday we moved the screen so that he...

I was down in DC partying with my adorable little nephew for his first birthday. Pictures of the little cutie: http://community.webshots.com/album/202224436AQsmdy Also, I added a particularly compelling photo to Stinky's album. You will see why,...

I have been feeding them every day. They now reconize my voice and will show themselves after a few minutes of talking to them. We are getting some rain today and Friday. Two days ago I made a shelter for them out of a unused trash can laying on its side and an old blanket. They have been sleeping...

From MediaBlast.com, here are two more bi-partisan songfests poking fun at the US elections. First up, "Political Rhapsody" http://madblast.com/view.cfm?type=FunFlash&display=3169 (it's really quite Bohemian) Then there's "The Presidential Horror Show"

How many cats do you think you should have? One per room? Per available lap? Per bed? Per hand? Per litterbox? (now THERE'S a way to keep the numbers down! lol) Is there a maximum feline density that makes the line between 'feline lover' and 'crazy cat person'? It's less than three weeks till I...

It's probably no major thing, but Brando has been having these little weird coughing fits the past couple of days. Took him to the vet today (last thing we needed in our financial situation, but what are ya gonna do?), and he was running a fever. He's on Baytril for 10 days, and furball meds for...

Warning. If you get home late after an evening out with friends, and find three of your cats sitting in a close triangle staring intently at one part of your rowing machine, do not reach down blindly with your hand to see if you can feel anything, because a pair of invisible incisors will bite...

My partner still laughs about this. One night we were lying in bed, with Nocturne curled up at our feet. I was asleep and he had just gotten into bed. Nocturne got up, stretched, walked up between us...bit me on the cheek (!!!) turned around, went back to the foot of the bed and laid back down...

We took Brandy for a checkup and booster shot today. She's in fine health, has put on a bit more weight and was nice and feisty for the poor tech, who had to call in reinforcements to hold her down while getting her feleuk shot. We went to pay the bill, and what happens? Brandy made...

Here's how I get an invigorating scalp scratch*: 1. Grab a willing cat. Probably best to use a cat with clipped claws until you get the hang of it. 2. Lay the cat on its back in your lap with its head away from you. 3. Hold the cat under the arms so that they stick out straight. 4. Bend forward and...

Kumani has an odd habit of resting her paw atop our heads. She likes to sleep on our pillows and when she does so, stretches out a forepaw and places it on our cheek or forehead. If we move, she very deliberately replaces the paw. If we are sitting, she will put her paw on our leg or on our...
