Someone's attached GPS and cameras to outdoor cats in England to follow them around for a day. Some of them cover a lot of territory. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22567526 -- Cheryl

Sorry to ask but you're probably the best person to ask. A friend of mine works in a theatre group that does a lot of work with small children and he just posted this on FB "Out of the thousands of children visiting the theatre last week one little girl still haunts me. She was smaller than her...

I tried posting this yesterday but didn't see it so trying again. An email from,Tweed. Sorry to post in html but I had to get a new computer, it died in June and am busy configuring it, would you please inform the group that I can't get newsgroups atm but at least I can email. Boyfie and myself...

I find this picture rather haunting: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/07/130709115209.htm and for archaeologists to be able to infer so much from it is quite amazing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c ...

It was a bit alarming at first when the heat wave started. Oh, it wasn't so much the heat, but the cats that I'd find scattered around, all flat or splayed out, like there had been some kitty disaster. I eventually got used to that and stopped checking to see if each body was still alive. But...

Last night was the first night in the last several days that we heard no fireworks and the flealines did not go into hiding!!! Hopefully we are done with that crap for a while at least!!!

It is 101 right now and 104 forecast for Saturday. TuTu is on the north patio but in the shade. Well, we can expect more of the same for July and August. MLB

(And my neighbor, of course.) Schwartzie's first instinct was to run and hide. Then he remembered, hey, that's the lady who sometimes feeds me. G I sat down in the living room with Lynn and we were chatting. Of course, Schwartzie couldn't overcome his curiosity. He came sauntering into...

I've had many cats and the majority of them have hunted to some degree, but I've never had one like Rose. She brings me things every day, sometimes more than once. Yesterday she dragged a rabbit home that was at least half her weight, a feat made more remarkable because to get it home she had...

Saw on today's morning show this video of a cat juggling from a high perch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkE9_dzJMWM

Oy! I thought getting off early would entitle me to a couple hours of relaxation and reading. Ha! Senyah has been locking the keyless deadbolt behind me when I go to work in the morning. This means I have to knock on the door for her to let me in. Today, no answer after three knocks, and the...

Last week I suffered a mild stroke. My speech was slightly slurred and I had trouble writing with my right hand. I called 911 and was transported to the hospital where I had a cat scan, MRI and ultrasound of my neck arteries. I was admitted for two days and then released with three...

I got my bus pass yesterday as an officially old person. Free travel all over England on local buses. The weather was too bad to use it yesterday but I went into my local town this morning for zero cost. It feels kind of illegal ;-) It was brilliant and I wandered around for 4 hours looking at...

This morning I woke up, and looked over at my desk. I was puzzled, wondering, "What in the world is that, hanging down from the chair?" http://professional-geek.net/personal/images/cats/LF_Cattail_20130622_02b.jpg Here is the cat in the chair, whose tail is hanging down - Little Feet, asleep...

When the vet said Sam and Cinnamon could do with losing a bit of weight, she suggested getting little balls with holes in them, and putting some of their food in them, so that they get extra exercise while eating. She said you can get them in any dollar store, but after being unable to find...

There have been some serious floods in western Canada - and Momo the cat is taking matters into his own paw! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2013/06/21/alberta-flood-cat-momo-swim-photos.html?cmp=rss http://tinyurl.com/lgcdzfy -- Cheryl

about a month ago, and now can't find the stuff! It has been too wet for me to go out into my back yard to check it out (also too wet to mow) and now the spot where I planted it is WAY overgrown with grass. Hopefully it will still grow, and the crew will be able to have the fresh stuff later this...

Sad news - Gandalf's mother died on Wednesday, June 19. {{{Hugs}}}

This is the first time I've had food here that has been recalled. Natura is recalling some food due to possible salmonella contamination. I just emailed them to find out how to return it for an exchange or...
