It;s cold by
Lesley Madigan
Temperature over here has dropped drastically over the last few days- to me it's still not cold enough to put the heating on full blast (Dave has been freezing for days- we are thermally incompatible he'll claim to be dying of hypothermia when I just put a warm jumper on- alas he likes the room to...

Making Herself Comfy by
jmcquown[_2_]
A couple of days ago I got up and did my usual morning routine. Gave
Buffy a scoop of Purina One kibble then went to the kitchen to dish up
her wet food. I scooped her litter box. Took a shower. I checked
email at my desk in the living room. I puttered around doing things in
the bedroom,...

The coleus, the pee, and Scooter by
dgk
Three days ago I came home to find that someone had thrown up at least
six times, all over two rugs. I cleaned it up as best I could, and
tried to guess who was responsible.
I woke up two days ago, petted the three cats on the bed, and noticed
that Scooter's back was wet. Smelled more like urine...

Cotton and her tail. by
Mike Mayers
After six years you would think that Cotton would know that her tail is part of her. Still she reaches around and tries to attack the tip of the tail. Silly girl!

Goofy Little Girl! by
jmcquown[_2_]
I sometimes have trouble sleeping. Last night I was tossing and
turning. In the middle of the night, exasperated, I turned onto my back
to try to get more comfortable. As I was drifting off (again) Buffy
decided this would be a good time to try to get me up. She meat-loafed
on my chest and...

Buffy Doesn't Know What to Think by
jmcquown[_2_]
A few months ago, when it was still very hot outside, I had to have a
technician repair my central AC unit. Needless to say this disturbed
Buffy. She hides at first but, being a cat, she gets curious.
That guy was in the house, then he was outside the house, then back in
the house. After a...

Things that don't make sense by
Takayuki
Dot making imminent horking sounds while going to the food dish to chow
down.
Spicey purring and touching my face in bed, then resentfully staying out of
reach after she gets a hug.

Boyfie knows how to look after himself by
Christina Websell
Once again, he decided to go out before I did, so he leapt over the gate
from the back garden when he heard my car coming back and to help me with
getting the shopping out of the car.
But there was a Jack Russell coming down the road, on a lead, with his
owners and he saw it.
I turned round to...

Bonfire Night by
Christina Websell
Boyfie is afraid of fireworks. It's been raining nearly all day so I
thought most people would hold off until the weekend, and it's not been too
bad. I went out (deliberately) at 6.30pm when there were more bangs and
hisses than he liked, simply because when I am out of the house he goes up...

cotton goes to the vet today by

She is due for her shots. She will probably be afraid that the carrier will mean going back to the shelter but I hope I can keep her calm for the ride.

I think news got around by
Christina Websell
amongst the local cats that it's a seriously bad idea to trespass in
Boyfriend's garden. After he finally lost his temper and had that bad fight
with the black cat that was bullying him where he got very beaten up
himself, I have never seen a cat in the garden since.
He's regained all the...

Spicey dislikes Legos by
Takayuki
I have a couple of Lego blocks on my desk that I fiddle with during long
conference calls.
When Spicey gets up on my lap though, they sometimes catch her eye, and she
just summarily slaps them off the desk as though they'd offended her. If I
pick up the blocks and put them back on the desk, she'll...

Buffy kisses by
jmcquown[_2_]
I love it when Buffy tries to wake me up early for food. Persia used to
do it by tapping me on my nose. Buffy gives me kitty kisses on my
temple. :)
When I open my eyes she starts purring. Her purr isn't nearly as loud
as Persia's was. In fact, I mostly feel it, not hear it. But when she...

Gnats! by
dgk
I think they're gnats. They've been hanging out by the cat food bowls
ever since I moved to Florida. I looked around for something to kill
them but I don't like what I read on the labels. Then I found some
advice about mixing apple cider vineger, some sugar, and a few drops
of dishwashing...

Zoomie Weather (Happy Halloween!) by

Reminds me of an old song. But no, it's not Stormy Weather here right
now. ;)
Buffy hung out with me nearly all morning. I was reading for a while.
Any time I got up to do a little chore here and there, she'd get up and
start zooming around. I'd toss the golf ball for her. Finish what I...

Roxy has pancreatitis by
Bastette
First: she is not critically ill. I guess there's acute pancreatitis,
which can be fatal, and there's chronic, which seems to be what Roxy has.
She has been losing weight fairly steadily for the past couple of years.
I've brought her to the vet a few times, and she's had full blood workups,
which...

Boyfriend had an alarming day by

I had a builder in today to do some repairs to the outside of my house. So
when he rang the bell at 8.40 to say he'd arrived., Boyfie was immediately
up the stairs to his bedroom. Unfortunately when Boyfie thought it was safe
to come downstairs again, the builder rang the bell again for some...
