I'm really upset right now. My mother has very suddenly decided to move out of her house, and she is sticking my sister, who lives near her, and to a lesser extent, me, with cleaning up after her. The worst news of all is that she is planning to simply LEAVE TWO CATS BEHIND in the house, assuming...

I've just been so down and feeling so bad that I've let this group fall by the wayside. It's such a shame too because I get SO much enjoyment out of the group (but in my emotional condition, I also get a lot of tears when I come hear and read sad things - my own problem to solve, but I can't...

Didn't someone post here about a new pet airline? It's just for sending pets on long-distance trips, without an accompanying human. I don't remember the details, but I'd like to look into it. If someone remembers this, or if one of you out there was the one to post that, please repost...

Finally, after 12 weeks of antibiotics, countless visits to the doctor and so on, they have a real diagnosis for me - mono. They said that since seem to have had it for a while, it is likely I have one of the more long term cases and I can expect to have it for a while longer. I love how vague...

So - there was this little cat that seemed to be always around in my garden but I was sure she was just amusing herself and lived elsewhere. I mainly ignored her. She was always there perching up on a chicken hut looking for mousies when Trim & I fed the chickens early in the morning. After...

I can't believe it's been 10 years since my beloved Quetzie died. He was The Best Cat Ever. The sweetest, most trusting cat I've ever met. It's even more difficult since my beloved Basho is terminally ill and I know I'll loose him soon. :( We miss you baby-boy. -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and...

I haven't been online since Sunday? Or something like that. Rob is home. He was released from the hospital on Tuesday. On Wednesday he was signed into hospice, again. His right side is very weak and he cannot walk on his own. We now own a wheel chair. He cannot use the toilet and has to...

Well, it seems I'm in my normal state - 500-1000 messages behind and trying to catch up. Blanket purrs and prayers going out for all in need, in case I miss some as I finally get caught up (though I'll undoubtedly fall behind again in no time). First off, the cats are all doing fine. Frank, the...

I used to see her regularly in my garden, but I thought she belonged to someone nearby, as all cats can roam freely where I live so it's common to see a cat in your garden, nothing is thought of it. At 7 a.m. I often saw her perched on top of one of my chicken huts, looking for mice, as I went...

Ever notice how different cats react to different kinds of petting? I started thinking about it a little while ago as I walked by the cat tree and patted Princess on the head. Princess is a cuddler who presses as much of her body against you as she can. She doesn't just lean against you, she puts...

Hi Matthew, I tried to send this to you via private email, but i don't have your real address. (Apparently "proudtoserve.com" isn't a real site. :)) Here's what I said: Someone else on RPCA (cl) posted this link for me: http://www.adoptapet.com/adoption_rescue/71177.html

Yesterday was officially the last day of my leave for the time being- I've just had a week of getting up late, going to bed in the wee small hours, cooking dinner instead of grabbing a sandwich etc. And I have been pretty good for once about doing the things I mean to do when on leave- all bills...

Our local SPCA, showing their cats in a glassed-in room at PetSmart, had a special: a cat over the age of six months, free to a screened and approved home. A grant had been given several area shelters--not mine, alas, for the girl who was raising funds for our 501 -3-C or whatever the charity tax...

We had to take our Fella, Philip, into the emergency vet after I tried to give him his usual belly rub and he moaned like a banshee. They've had to admit him with a urinary blockage. Please send a few Fella purrs along, and some Louie purrs as well. He's downstairs freaking. Me, I'm relieved Philip...
