Amber and Tiger are creatures of habit. They have a series of morning routines that rarely changes. When I get up I tell Amber to wait on the bed for her hug (she usually sleeps on my bed). I go upstairs (that's where the living room/kitchen is) and Tiger meets me at the top of the stairs. ...

Sorry this took so long, but my life hasn't been real organized this past week. (Understatement, or what?) http://s276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/g_gandalf/?action=view&current=Buffy6.jpg

My grandma is in the hospital. She was having trouble breathing and is now on oxygen and pills to get fluid out of her lungs. She is getting weaker and weaker, and she is 94, and my dad says it doesn't look good. My grandma hates being dependent on everyone and being almost blind and I know she...

Helen's story about the woodchip turned toy turned aggressor reminded me of a childhood amusement I used to have. (Don't ask me why, exactly. My brain gallops around in weird ways.) Anyhow, when I was growing up, Luna, our family cat was permitted to have several litters of kittens, before...

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** AARRGGGHHHH! I couldn't make an appointment with the new vet because of the hours I and my DH work (I can't take any more time off work or I'll be in big trouble, same with DH), so we had to take her back to the vet who did the spay...

I haven't got a clue how to solve a certain problem, and it's not one that I can resolve alone. It's very hard for me to ask for help with this, too, but I'm praying that one of you will have an answer for me. It's my house, which is so dirty and disorganized that even the cats hate it. I plug...

Bonnie sat in the middle of the lounge looking deep in communication with the mothership. Then it happened - she hiccupped, twice. A moderate sized bubble came out of her mouth and drifted towards the ceiling! I blinked - this was something new. Perhaps I was imagining it. Bonnie hiccupped...

Does anyone have experience with either? Some sites recommend this in conjunction with Chlortrimeton for cats with allergies. Derm Caps http://www.1800petmeds.com/pdetail.asp?SK=10303

.... birds. I bet you thought I meant Shamrock. :) After I got home tonight I went back out to put out something for a Freecycler who was coming by. While out, I went to see how some of my flowers were doing since we haven't had much rain lately. While walking down *MY* sidewalk to *MY*...

I was just informed by another poster here that someone, using my name but with a return email that bounced, sent them an email begging for money to supposedly pay for a vet fee. I'm would have hoped that those who have known me well here for years now knows that I have NEVER asked for money...

Yesterday I finally emptied the linen closet. I know I talked about doing this earlier in the year but I never could actually bring myself to do it. The Beaufort County Animal Shelter says they need donations of blankets, towels and washcloths. I've got a whole pile of them to donate. I'm...

Yep, the last member of the nest turns 21 on Friday. The gang has decided to get her as drunk as possible in my dining room. The booze is bought the pizza money is stashed and prezzies have already been given so that she will remember them. I'm supposed to take car keys, film, and cook a nice...

I'm looking for advice and suggestions for not having to replace the cats' water supply several times a day. The thing is, Tommy is never content to simply drink water from a dish - at the very least, he has to splash it all over the place with his paw, and when the water level goes below half...

I need to vent about this & I knew other cat lovers would understand.... My Father In Law has a new girlfriend & she had a gorgeous little tuxedo named Patches that is 4 yrs old.... My Father in law is a cheap, manipulative, cat hating *******! He told his Girlfriend to "Get rid" of her cat &...

A year ago (on the 11th, but I haven't been able to really post until now), Shmogg went to Rainbow Bridge. I now have three white cats, all of which hold a small part of Shmogg's personality (highly strung, lovebug, smartarse). I've got an earring in my ear (which *still* hasn't healed,...

Today I was driving home and found myself in a rather pensive mood. My brain wass seemingly stopping on random topics and paying them much more attention than usual. So now as I sit listening to some Blue Oyster Cult, I submit for your consideration some of my thoughts.... -- Why is it I can't...

A beautiful interpretation - sniff. There are other heart-tugging pictures on the site. http://wtv-zone.com/nywoman/PAGES/PAGE29.html Bev -- The email of the species is more deadly than the mail.

Shmogg was assisted to Rainbow Bridge today at about 10:45am AEST. Yowie, catless.

(I apologize if I already posted about this. Had some problems with individual.net the other day. All this happened last Friday. It's a long rant, and I apologize for that, too.) /begin rant My car tags & registration are coming up for renewal in April. It's registered in Tennessee. (I...

Waffles is very ill. He has cancer and is eating very little. On the way home from the vet, he peed in his cat carrier, which is fabric. Some of it went on the car seat. I've tried water and Nature's Miracle, and can't get rid of the stench. Does anybody have any other solutions to get rid...
