Fil, I hope you don't mind, but I forwarded your post about Smokey's "extreme poke" to a friend of mine who I thought would enjoy it. I took out all identifying info. (Also, btw, this is the same friend who accepted your paypal payment when I got you the Feliway.) Anyway, by coincidence, I...

It's been warm here. And the apartments haven't been converted from heat to a/c yet. So I open the living room windows just a little, to get a breeze. The cats sit, nose to opening. Dulce Mae laid on her side and stretched a paw out. The she on the inside, and Bucky on the outside start a game...

I'm posting this now because I know there will be a lot of communication about a possible meet-up of Catslaves and RPCA members. That could also involve exchanging addresses. I have obviously used my real name and address for the annual holiday card exchange. However, I have tried to be...

To change the subject to something a bit lighter than we've been seeing here lately. Here's my quote of the day... "The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead." ~Robert Brault Hugs, CatNipped

Well, Granby just had a birthday, which I hope was happy:) Sherry has one coming up, altho I don't know the date, and I have one on the 15th, Income Tax Day and I'll be 63. I come from a long line of Aries. My deceased Mom was born April 1st, her Mom was born on April 11th as was/is my youngest...

Whatcha got for April? In the livingroom, is a Cat calender with a beautiful balck and white tuxedo, long hair, yellow eyes, and a beautiful floompy tail. In the dining room is a wild mustang horsie running free. I also have a small B. Kliban Cat Calendar that IDK where to hang...

We've all seen the commercials (and heard the jokes). "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!" But it's a real concern for seniors living alone. (Good lord, I sound like a commercial.) Does anyone have any experience with these types of systems/services? Any recommendations? Any idea about...

I took Stinky to the vet to get his second subQ, and to learn how to put the line in myself. Well, I did it, and it was pretty easy -- at least with the Stink-man in his usual vet-visit passive mode, and with the vet and tech standing by. The big test for me come tomorrow when I give him his...

The vet called this after noons, and said "Stinky's kidneys aren't working." ): !@#!@#! ): She suggested we start him on SubQ fluid therapy. I'm bringing him back in tomorrow for a coaching session in how to administer them. I'm very apprehensive. Downright scared. What if I can't do it?

I just read that Andrew Loyd Webber has been working on the score to the sequel to Phantom of the Opera (the "Phantom of Manhatten, IIRC the book was written in 1999) Anyway, his beloved cat was messing around on the keyboard, and somehow erased the entire score, and he was unable to retrieve it...

It's now spring. The calendar says so. The weatherman says so. The cats say so. So how come I'm looking out my 3rd floor window at snow? Really heavy snow. Big, fat, wet flakes of snow. Snow that is NOT melting when it hits the ground, it's sticking. The weather forecast this morning called for...

These past few days, every time I lift up Caliban he stares up into the ceiling. Just now he was sitting on my arm (ooph), when he suddenly started staring up into the corner. He left my arm (aah, relief) and jumped to a small bookshelf I have standing in the corner. Stood on his back feet and...

Smokey has now invented "Extreme Poking." Every once in a while he'll be lying on his back, swat at something, and leave his "arm" hanging there in mid-air because he's too lazy to move muscles to bring it back down. Well, tonight I was rubbing his belly as he lay on his back and he decided to...

I got some video footage of tonight's snow catting. I haven't downloaded it yet. I was able, though, to download some footage of last month's snowcatting. The kitties aren't doing anything exciting, just exploring the snow, but it's online at http://smurgle.net/SnowCattingMarch.mov. Dan

OK, I've gone as far as calling my vet to see how much it would cost to have Garvin checked, vaccinated and neutered. Now I have to find some way to come up with $130 then find another canned food with the same ingredients as Fancy Feast but costs less so I can squeeze him into the clowder. ...

I got home tonight around 10:30, and as usual, Smudge was waiting for me in front of the apartment building. But just as I was about to go upstairs, she went running off, and no amount of calling her would get her attention. I finally noticed where she was running to - a woman had just pulled up...

Any basketball fans around here? Well, Dante's been doing his best to re-enact the NCAA tournament on the living-and dining room floors. But his physique and style of play doesn't really remind me of any of the young players on the courts these days. No, Dante rolling down the floor,...

Looks like the neighbor's cats have a pal who comes to visit from time to time (she'd mentioned it once). He (?) is a very big fluffy cat, about the size of Catnipped's Sammy! His very long fur is very pretty. It's tipped all over with very dark brown, almost black. The fur is light brown...
