If anyone knows of a good home in Southern California that needs a little, tiny kitten... When Nancy and I were visiting with Harri Friday night one of the vet techs was checking on a kitten in a nearby cage. This was a little tiny thing. We asked the kittens story. It seems someone found this...

Poor thing. I wish I knew what makes her gassy. I know that is why she feels bad a lot of the time. But maybe she has figured out how to let go. I've never seen her pass gas outside of when she has diarreha, but tonight, she was walking off and she often stretches out her legs behind her. Well,...

I'd like to share with you my first morning as a bank receptionist at my vet's. I was due at work at 8.00 am and so last night set my bedside clock's alarm for 5.45 am. I thought getting up that early would give me plenty of time for feeding the gang, tidying my house and getting myself ready to...

One of my favorite kitties was put down today..... As a vet tech, there are animals that are regulars and you can't help but get attachec to them. Like Zeus, the great dane. He was huge, bulky and hard to handle, but you still loved him. Lothario was really huge and grumpy, but how can you...

Persia was getting some scritches and purring like mad. Suddenly her nose wrinkled up and she sneezed. It sounded so funny, she was still purring through the sneeze (purrrrr-eeesh!) It's funny when she yawns when she's purring, too :) Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off.

Warning to all women This is a warning to those friends who haven't experienced it yet, and an explanation to those friends and family who have. Most of you have read the scare-mail about the person whose kidneys were stolen while he was passed out. Well, read on. My thighs were stolen from...

When I was riding my bike* back up to my house tonight, I saw a work-out machine on the curb being thrown out by our neighbors three doors down. This thing is in perfect condition - with all the parts. http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Exercise/ I thought it might encourage DH to work out...

She's meatloafing by the patio door. The temperature outside is close to 100F and very humid. She wants out in her Kitty Walk. I stroked her head and said, "It's too hot, Persia." She gazed into my eyes and replied, "Meow!" Kittie scritches "Um no, sweetie, it's too hot." "Meow!" "No...

At least this was a minor thing. At least. Storms. I usually love storms. Except for when they knock out the power. Last night, they decided to. I had been running errands for four hours in the 90-degree heat, having trouble breathing, exhausted and overheated. I just wanted to sit in The...

Today is Sam's first birthday. I picked the date based on what the vet told me on his first visit. He and his litter mates were born outside and lived the first 4 months of their life there. He is now a happy house cat. He and his sisters will be having a catnip party tonight and maybe some ice...

I was sitting at my computer this afternoon perched on my stool. Behind me is my armchair with one padded arm directly behind my back. So Boyfriend got up on the arm of the chair and rubbed my back with his head. I put my hand round, said Hi, babes, and gave him a little scritch. That was not...

Connecticut Humane Society? Picking up the mail today, I found a pink-hued solicitation letter for the Connecticut Humane Society's Spring Fund Drive, reminding me to send a donation, assuring me that the animals they take in "are cared for in a kind and loving way". This after I had just...

The final bill was $531.24, after a 10% senior discount. That included the anesthetic, the IV, an infusion so she wouldn't get thirsty, cleaning and polishing the teeth, pulling two, as well as a bag of goodies to bring home. There is some stuff to mix with the water I give her (which means...

Jena's feeling *much* better after she changed nurses. The chest would is healed, and the leg is now getting significantly better after the infection. She is, however, worrying alot about Wilson who just doesn't seem to be himself at the kennels. Jean is *very* eager to get back home, and...
