We have just booked a cruise to Alaska and hope to meet members of the group who might be unlucky enough to be in our path lol. Here it is. We leave New Zealand on the 1st August and fly to San Francisco for 3 days then onto to Vancouver for three days then do the two week cruise ending at...

So, I think I've resigned myself to the likelihood that Oscar will be upset by other cats. Frankly, she's happy now and I don't want to push my luck. But then, I've always been more of a dog person anyway ... and Oscar has cohabited with two dogs before, neither of which caused her the kind of...

Gargantuan hairball. We are going to try laxatoning the heck out of him the next two days at least. I will monitor output. He has not vomited for two days and the barium was definitely moving through, so that is good. I would appreciate purrs that we are successful so my little buddy doesn't have...

OK, just took another picture of Sammy just a few minutes ago. She has such an interesting expression on her face I know it deserves a special caption, but I can't think of one now. Can anyone help? http://www.possibleplaces.com/sammy/ Hugs, CatNipped

I honestly don't know what to make of this. I realise that allergies and asthma are very real, some kids are sensitive to it, but does that mean they can never go into a place where there were cats, even if the cats are no longer there? It isn't like Ally Cat Allies didn't clean up after the...

Simple, but always good, New Orleans red beans and rice. 2 bags kidney beans 2 pounds pork & venison sausage 1 *very* large onion salt, pepper, ground cayenne pepper to taste 1/2 tsp. sugar Rinse beans, cut up sausage, cut up onion and just throw it all in a big pot and let it simmer for 4 hours,...

Oscar has very long, wispy fur all over, including her rear end. Unfortunately, this means that she sometimes gets litter stuck to the fur, which doesn't please anyone in the household, and it's not easy to get Oscar to tolerate a butt-washing. Usually she ends up doing it herself, which worries...

Friday night she was in a lot of pain, purring *really* loudly and trembling, and then crying in the middle of the night, even giving her the pain pills every 6 hours. So we picked up some stronger pain medication yesterday morning, Buprenorphine HCI, which is given sublingually (in her cheek...

As some of you know I have been waiting a long time, hoping to have Cochlear Implant surgery to allow me to hear. Last July my insurance cancelled the surgery less than 24 hours before I was due to have it done. And nearly two months after we had set up the schedule. It cost me the chance to go...

Sasha here, In da dark time, I played with my meowmies shampoo. It was fun, I slipped, and slidded all in meowmies bathtub. When my meowmie got up dis morning, you know what she did? She put me in da tub with da water in it. My meowmie said she have to get the nice smell off me, she say it will...

Tanada and I are two GOWs (Grouchy Old Women) with grudging respect for each other. We even like each other most of the time. We even have a lot in common. In fact, we even learn from each other upon occasion. I tried to get to sleep at a reasonable hour last night because I had to be up early...

Well, it was going to happen eventually. I am no longer a Krispy Kreme virgin. Da*n those things are good. A very kind friend transported them from the closest KK - over 2 hours away. He went to the drive through and asked for the "pregnant woman" pack. LOL! So now Ihave a sampler pack and a...

.... over me. Finally got round to going to see Troy last night. Brad Pitt and Eric Bana certainly are eye-candy for the ladies. PHWOAR! ;-) Cheers, helen s (still in need of a cold shower several hours later) --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam--

Purrs for all the cats and their slaves that live on the east coast. Looks like there is going to be some heavy rain and wind from the storms coming through. Ann

Polonca, You post so much support for all of us, yet I know nothing about you and Soncek. I know you live in Slovenia but that's all. I haven't posted here for very long, would it be possible to know something about you and your cat? I might have missed it before I joined the group. Tweed

in article , Marina at wrote on 10/31/04 12:28AM: I've been trying out different types of litter lately to find something both I and the cats will like. I used to use shredded newspaper, but it seems that Frank may get the sniffles from...

When I was downtown today, I saw something pretty unusual - a homeless panhandler with pets. I actually have a great deal of respect for panhandlers, because they make their living standing at street corners every day, a more troublesome, thankless task than anything I've ever done for a...

This afternoon a bathtub dropped on my head. I was stunned but not knocked out and have had ice on it since but I don't feel quite right. I'm not up to driving anywhere and of course it's Friday night so the doc is closed anyhow. Would appreciate purrs that there won't be any serious...

Where does your cat like to be petted? Mine: Bobby loves belly rubs, hates his head petted Casey especially loves head pets and shoulder rubs
