without the sonar, helicopters, radar, etc. A gray cat generally meeting Ding's description has now been reported twice in an area of townhouses, which unfortunately is quite dense with winding streets, patches of woods, and lots of foliage. The reports are from two ends of a two-block area, and...

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Hello Everyone, I'm new here, thought I'd give it a try - need some cheering up, as much as the cats excell at this, some human comfort would be welcome too. I am crazy about cats, all have been rescues, I can not fault them - the only time I'm unhappy with them is when they fall sick. So, at most...

Hello, If you consider the average weight of (properly fed) kitties to be in the range of 5 (3 to 6) lbs, and the weight range of a St. Bernard is 110/200 lbs, you can own about 40 kitties of a St. Bernard's worth. Therefore if someone asks you how many kitties you own, you can say, “I have a St....

It used to be so busy here. I guess all the cats have their own FaceBook pages now. I wouldn't know, I'm not on any of that Social Media crap. Yes I'm old. :p Smokey still loves her baths BTW; she cries until she gets her baf. I'm lucky if I get away with two 'baths' a day. We have developed quite...

The pleasure of your company is requested in welcoming the newest member of our family, Miss Odessa Tatyana Kaur, who just came home with me about half an hour ago. The pleasure of her company is requested too, but she is a shy little thing, and is hiding behind the other desk in our computer room...

Well, the big scare really didn't involve me, but it was still quite scary. In the evening news, there was an item about a cobra being spotted in my neck of the woods. It wasn't in my subdivision but in the same area where I live. Witnesses said they saw the huge snake with it's jaws open to...

We drove by the lot selling x-mas tree yesterday. We usually get our tree after thankgiving or the first week of december. Even though we are not christians, we love putting up a tree and decorating it with the many ornaments we've accumulated over the years. Given the pagan origins of the tree...

I know I have to make the decision myself, but I'd like to collect some opinions before I do so. Here's the situation. Since Skeeter went to the Rainbow Bridge, Lindy has been an "only cat". She seems to like that, which isn't too surprising. She joined the family when Skeeter had been hear for...

This is a really stupid question but here goes.... Does anyone else think there is a difference in the meow of a male and female cat?....their 'normal' meow that is, not mating call etc. Just an observation I made and was wondering Angela (and Gizmo, of course)

Gulp. Here I go. Tomorrow, I am quitting smoking. And because I am posting it here for all of you to see, I *have* to do it! I have figured out what I am going to do when those urges hit: I went out and bought a sign language dictionary, and I am going to teach myself sign language. Should...

Of our three cats, Fluffy and Smokey seem to have "normal" kitty tails. They can wrap them around themselves, or walk with them sticking straight up or straight out to the rear. But the other one, Kitty, can lay his tail flat along his back with the end up on his head and walk around like that. The...

I don't post on here very often, but wanted those of you not on FB to hear this from me: Weeble is 16. Has his annual cold, but for the first time I am very worried over it. He's not wanting to eat, losing weight. We are getting several syringes of puree gooshy food into him a day (along with...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. This is a medical condition where you periodically stop breathing. There are several possible causes, but, in my case, I apparently have an inherited tendency for my windpipe to "relax" too thoroughly when I...

If you ever wondered how a slew of celebrities, from Charles Dickens and Albert Einstein to Tom Cruise and Britney Spears would look like with rats on their heads, you're in luck. http://www.geocities.com/youhavearatonyourhead/index.html Click on a page number. ;) Although, I wonder if they...

Yay! We have found some new furry masters. I took a couple of pics with my camera phone (so they aren't such great quality). A girl and boy, littermates. They are 8 weeks old and come from a foster home where they have been hand raised since they were 3 weeks old. The girl is black and white...

Many of those who live with depression as part of their daily lives want to use something other than antidepressants to help them. Seeing the possibility of a lifetime of taking medication many sufferers of depression are turning to alternate methods. Please share your knowledge...

Hello. Wee Tashie's dad here. She's pretty good as far as scratching goes. She uses her post and a stack of newspapers out the back, but there's one thing we have trouble with. She likes to lie across my lap when I'm at the desk (like right now). Sometimes she waits to be lifted up, and sometimes...

One of the first places that Harri and I visited when we first got her to California was a furniture company in Marysville. We ended up sitting there (unnecessarily, it turns out) for half the day, and did a nice, long kitten walk. We didn't cover much territiry, just the trailer parking area and...

All I ever eat are "Lean Cuisine" meals (mostly because I'm too lazy to cook low-calorie, low-fat meals that taste good), and there is one, "Chicken Fettuccini With Caramelized Apples" that I buy almost exclusive for the Caramelized Apples. I'd love to be able to make those myself, but wouldn't be...
