It's the time of year where I live when static electricity due to the changing of the seasons and shedding combine to make a keyboard with a cat nearby a *magnet* for fur. Here's the hint. Rub a dryer fabric softener sheet over the keyboard. It actually picks up cat fur while leaving behind an...

I can blame my mother for this - she started spoiling Egbert So he would always have clean water, she put some in the sink every time she went into the bathroom. After I moved out - he started drinking out of the faucet or tub. It took him almost 2 years to "train" Niobe to do this - It took...

This link will explain my agitation: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-ccats13nov13,0,944363.story?coll=sfla-news-sfla A few months ago, I posted about the Alley Cat Allies having a tape recording of state wildlife officials in our state capital laughing and discussing...

DON'T FORGET NEXT SATURDAY! *As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to

For the first time, Joel has found a game for the XBOX that both of us love. He loves the game play. I love the soundtrack that comes with it. Ok, I admit, I am a pathetic 80's addict. But the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City game comes with approximately 8 'radio stations' which play approximtley...

Long story short - Rexie is 2 1/2 yrs, got him at 3 1/2 - 4wks, unweaned, of course; and I am Mommie. When Rex was a baby he wouldn't eat unless we (or mainly, I) stood next to him and petted. Vet says it was because he'd been separated from natural mom so early (my cousin found the kitties...

I don't know how much longer it will be, but Lindy is failing, slowly but surely. She eats a little less every day. I took her to see the vet yesterday, and she had lost another quarter pound. The most telling indication, though, is that today I was eating lunch in my living room, as usual. ...

I think the Dust "may" be constipated. I am not sure what qualifies as constipation in cats. He basically hasn't pooped in 3 days. He is not going to the box and straining, he isn't complaining, he is eating and drinking very much so normally and he is peeing about twice a day. We had a house...

I found a polished brass money clip laying in the middle of the living room this morning. It wasn't mine and no one has been in there lately to lose one. Bruiser loves shiny things and also likes to carry toys around. I find his toys outside and things like wadded paper towels in the living room...

DH came home with these two bitties tonight. http://www.dropshots.com/gadragonfly#albums/Kittens The pictures are blurry but I was trying to get a shot of the relationship in size of the little one to the larger one. I'm not sure how old the little one is. Can anyone get an idea from...

This comes very late for the writing challenge, but like many elderly people, Frank feels the need to set down his life and write his autobiography, and since his life has been a long and eventful one, I told him he'd better break it up in chapters. I hope he will write more soon. He had a bit of a...
