I'm sick to death already of seeing Christmas movies, Christmas shopping commercials, etc. when it's not even American Thanksgiving yet. We're barely past Halloween! John will be here over Christmas. I promised him we could have a tree. (I wonder what Persia will think of that?) I haven't...

I won't go into details, but I have to go in for an emergency liver ultrasound and possibly biopsy, then see my oncologist for Lomax injections in my stomach (which I'll have to learn to give myself), then my surgeon. OB If I have to go back to the hospital Archer is going to need some purrs...

Some of you may recall I mentioned a lost and found cat, "Benny Boo Boo" - and his slave wrote a book about it (available here http://www.amazon.com/Friend-Like-Ben-Desperate-Together/dp/000738274X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1321462144&sr=1-2 ) Well, I heard Julia's latest story at the...

Your recommendation of the Hair, Skin an Nails vitamins, along with Minoxidil, gaining weight and eating lots of protein has caused my hair to grow back in again. Most women can get by with make-up to cover imperfections, girdles to handle a bit of flab, but going bald is the worst, most...

All. Day. Long!!!! One little little thunderstorm and not only does the electricity go out (forcing Ben to finally start up the generator to make the lights come on five minutes later after thirty minutes of his cussin' it out), but it knocked out our Internet until just now!!!! I was...

In the five weeks I was gone there were posted about 4,300 "unread" posts here that I still haven't caught up on. now that I'm back we're back down to a few posts a day again. Is it me? Bad breath? BO? Obnoxious posts? Whiny, selfish content? I'm pretty thick, folks, if I'm spoiling the...

For years I posted to this cat newsgroup, but there's a Facebook version that I believe is so much better. At the Facebook group we can post our kitty photos, not just links to them. And "r.p.c.a." as it's called on Facebook is a "secret" invitation-only group. This means we can choose who we...

I'm still worried by Archer. He was 16 pounds back in February. While I was in and out of the hospitals (mostly in), not only did we lose Sammy, his best buddy, but he also grieved extremely badly for me, not knowing I would ever come home again. In those months he went down to about 13...

hear how Catnipped is doing????

I mentioned in another post our new stray who we think was a dump (he keeps trying to run inside the house and he stays mostly in the little house on our upper deck, so I know he's scared. I have no idea why he might have been dumped, he's a neutered tom and absolutely gorgeous (unfortunately...

My neighbor Serene had a new cat come to feed. Calico, very friendly. Too friendly to be a stray. Serene had to run out just then so her son brought it over to my house. She doesn't have a spare room and didn't want to let it in with her five cats unsupervised. Reasonable. I think she wanted me to...

For the reasons I've given here in a previous post, and after a brief interchange with a certain member of this newsgroup, I've decided to restrict my involvement with r.p.c.a. to its group at Facebook. Other people have written to me me about this individual, and their comments about him are...

I can't say enough about this woundvac thingy. I won't post the picture, email me if you want to see it, but I took a picture of the wound today when the nurse was changing the woundvac and the difference from now and the first picture that was taken 4 weeks ago is astounding. I can't...

I'm very upset. They won't take my case against the HOA, not even to make a simple phone call. Looks like I'm going to have to present the case before the board myself. John keeps telling me I can do this. Present a strong case and win them over. I'm not as confident in myself as he...

We went shopping yesterday at a couple of our favorite discount grocery stores and hit the jackpot. Here's what we were able to get for $3.99/bag: http://www.amazon.com/HARMONY-FARMS-Healthy-Holistic-Cats/dp/B0039LRG68/ The sad part is we only had enough money to get eight bags (there must have...

This article makes me think of Duffy: http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/09/tech/innovation/daniel-kish-poptech-echolocation/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 Duffy marches around the house making beautiful little "trilling" sounds. They are happy sounds, like singing. He obviously is not dependent on the sounds he...
