I was watching an Animal-Planet show about a family of banded mongooses and a _cat_ wandered onto the set. Among the mongooses, warthigs, lions and eagles, there was a very ordinary-looking tabby with a very lovely face. I know that the African Wildcat is one of the closest relatives...

Yesterday, Micki groomed Sunrise. Actually, she finished a job she had started a few days before and given up because Sunrise had fought the process and eventually squirmed loose. But Micki is persistent and caught her again and got her looking great. When I got home, Micki was sitting at the...

I have read several posts in which someone of unreliable sanity keeps referrng to this phenomenon. I have searched out source material but found none. However, I did find the following on the Talk Page for Maltese Cat. Someone, very likely the moron who posts this drivel here, simply asserts the...

I would have needed to record both sound and picture in a dark room to "show" you this, so I hope I can tell you about it with mere words. I left my room to use the facilities. There are usually one or two of our furry citizens in the hallway, sleeping on the carpet or about their lawful business,...

This is about the cat Rascal that writes as Wascal on rpcc. His servant Bruce was driving in North Guilford, miles from their home in Branford, and saw a cat that looked a LOT like Rascal sitting on a fence watching the world go by. Bruce slowed down as he realized it had to be Rascal. He stopped...

You all "know" Micki. The cats were her cats before I moved in and I am there "Uncle Bill," as I am to WooToo, my Mom's cat who is caring for me now that Mom is gone, and to the dogs and parrots. We are all blue because Mick had to go to the emergency room and has been admitted. They are pretty...

When a person, fur or bare, begins her or his journey beyond the Stars to the Bridge, the guides who guide him or her on this journey are great souls who have stayed near the earth for that very purpose. Some call them Angels, some call them Bhodisatvas and they aren't all the same. They may even...

We have half a dozen indoor-outdoor cats in our complex. All of them are out a great deal in good weather, a bit in more challenging weather and all but one of them is staying indoors for the duration of this awful winter. Cleo, a pudgy older calico, is never one for staying out very long. But...

Sampson, otherwise known as Sampson up the street, is a very beautiful big black tomcat. He is an indoor-outdoor who only comes out in nice weather, although he apparently considers hot and humid, but not raining, nice enough. When he sees a dog, he does the most incredible glare that I have...

I was right outside our front door, having taken Bear (d*g) for his walk. My friend Betty was carrying a tiny cage in from her car. She stopped to talk and Bear was really interested in his friend Betty (he is Mr. Congeniality and everyone in the neighborhood is his best friend) However, the cage...

I was getting ready for work this morning and I noticed that Sunrise was drinking out of the water bowl that the cats share with Bear, the d*g. It was meant as a d*g's bowl, so it is quite large for a cat to use. She had her head deep into the bowl, so I figured the water was low and she was down...

I was walking Bear, our dog, when it was still dark out, there was snow fallling, ice on the ground and it was a windy twelve degrees (Farenheit) Our neighbor's door opened and I could see their little black cat looking out, with someone standing behind her awaiting her pleasure. She looked, she...

Everyone who was near the Earthward end of the Rainbow Bridge saw it this morning. All of the service dogs who are here waiting for their friends were sstaning in formation, straight and tall and wearking their harnesses. They were looking toward the entrance from Earth. Many Kittees had just had...
