HRFL Tiger has really done it this time. Smug? Is he ever! Last saturday at 2am, he decided I wasn't giving him enough attention because I was reading RPCA, and so the little git peed all over my computer. OK, I'll admit it was an elderly pentium 2 laptop called *Errol* (after the owl in Harry...

Sorry to miss you Sunday - the PC threw a sh*t fit and I couldn't get online. Maybe we can try in the week? Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG

We've just got back from an 10.30pm emergency vet visit. Tiger decided that he was going to be violently ill this evening and chuck up everywhere. Of course, it turns out that he is being sick because his anal glands are impacted again. I am somewhat relieved, but not overly impressed in having to...

I've just had a call from my neighbour 2 doors up to go get my cat. Lily is a very sociable kitty, and she likes human bitties because they play with her. It seems they keep having to fish her out of the kiddies paddling pool! Lily and the kids have apparently been spending the whole afternoon...

I'm back after a very exhausting and very emotionally (on a very personal level) draining 2 weeks. I don't think I have ever been so glad to see my fur-monsters in my life, nor they me. They have not left me alone. Quite depressingly, my mind is now far more cluttered emotionally than before I went...

My cats are now hunting in a pack with co-operative hunting! *SOMEHOW* Lily, Tiger and Robbie managed to kill a SEAGULL today and drag it through the catflap! They are BIG, aggressive birds. I heard a right ruckus, and saw the 3 of them on the garage roof all battling & wrestling with the seagull....

Thanks to TED, Miss Lily Whiskers came home this evening. A bit sore and a bit bald on her bum, but OK. TED took X-rays this morning and had a good look. Lily did indeed have an airgun pellet lodged in her back, but fortunately it wasn't very deep and he managed to remove it fairly easily. He's...

My little brother, Jay came home on Friday (YAY!) and his baby girl has been going nuts and ignoring me now her dad is home! ;o) He saw the bald patch and open wound on her backside where the vet had operated to remove the airgun pellets. He predictably flipped his lid and strating clucking like a...

Following her op last week, my brother took Miss Lily Whiskers to see her TED for a check-up last night. She was apparently very well behaved apart from escaping from the exam room and going to suck up to and say hello to the receptionist, who also happens to be the head vet tech. (It's a very...

Lily has been outside in the garden all day playing, chasing insects, tormenting the Jack Russell Terrorist next door, playing in next doors pond and generally supervising the neighbours in their garden. I'd expect her to be knackered because she has had such a busy day. Oh no. Not Lily. She came...

Is it just me, or do cats have cheesy smelling feet? ;o) Lily has developed a habit of shoving her feet in my face when she's sprawled beside me, and they are usually a tad wiffy! ;o) Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG

Pandora is not "fat", she's "plesantly fluffy". Cleo is "Quite fluffy". ;o) Both of them hate cheeze wizz ;o) Helen M Signs That Your Cat is Too Fat * Cat door retro-fitted with garage door opener.

Which kitten besides Sonya, is the Shirk family going to keep? ;o) LOL! Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG

Like many RPCA-ers, I'm currently in the job market. :o( Because of certain circumstances, I've had to quit my PhD. :o( Dark Tiger (my TV production company) is still working on getting its first contract, so I have to play in the real world for a while... I've found a PERFECT job that would be...

The guy from the environment agency rang me back. :o( The job went to an internal candidate, which I suspected might happen. :o( Oh well, a good learning experience, the guy went through my interview with me and explained how I could improve it next time, which was nice, but although I was polite...

The Miles bitties are kept in a large dog pen in my sitting room so that my adult cats can have their normal routine and Bonnie, my d*g doesn't keep pestering them. This morning, the bitties were allowed out to play. At 5 weeks old, they are starting to practise "hissy halloween cats", and I had a...

The Bitties have runny eyes and are sneezing a lot. :o( We've been to the TED and they have antibiotic drops and eye ointment. Please could they have some purrs that they feel better soon? Ta, Helen M

Like Mithu, Carolines S's babe, HRFL Tiger went for all his shots and 6 month check-up today too. Unlike Mithu, he peed all over the vet, bit the tech and was generally obnoxious. He's in good health. We also met Mabel for the first time. She's a very scruffy, creaky ex-stray tabby, who moved into...

I'm off for 2 weeks tomorrow, running around the countryside with Army cadets. I became an Army Cadet Force adult instructor a while back, and tomorrow we're off on 2 week annual camp. I don't really want to go as I miss the mogs whilst I'm away. My bro is going to look after them for me, and my...

My 3 favourite things with the Miles felines.... HRFL's deep rumbling purr on my bed as he settles down on my feet as I fall asleep. Miss Lily Whiskers chirp as she drops her fur mowsie on my lap to play fetch. Watching 5 satisfied & relaxed owners giving themselves a bath after supper.
