Well, this just about takes the biscuit! I like to feed my two wet food as much as possible, although Boyfie much prefers dry. It is a lot cheaper to feed from tins, but they prefer pouches, so pouches it is.. They both said they would quite like a little something just now, so I went to get two...

I don't post that much, but I do read everything when I get the chance. I just wanted to say "Thank You" to the group for being such a wonderful "family". You all brighten my day and help make me feel like I'm not alone in my happiness AND frustration in loving our little fur-babies. Thank you,...

He's been out for over 24 hours. This is the first time he's stayed out all night since the weather turned crisp. He doesn't have a thick fur coat and gets cold easily. I went out and called around for him before I went to bed last night, and figured I'd find him on the sofa this morning as usual,...

It's one thing to allow the point-blank shooting of defenseless animals in fenced enclosures, but it's quite another to get a tax cut for doing so. As reported in a front-page exposé in The Washington Post, wealthy hunters have been killing a few "extra" animals, donating the trophies...

I haven't gotten round to uploading/sharing for awhile, so here are some of my favourite shots of the girls... Spotty tummies in stereo! http://community.webshots.com/photo/507847806/522808742RhmjcP A moment later I caught Scouty in mid-yawn. I love how fast this camera...

My uncle is doing better and should be home from the hospital by the end of this week. Thanks for the purrs. I'm sure they helped. Ann -- read Sam's blog at http://kittens-3.blogspot.com/ see pictures of Sam at http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ann791/my_photos

I think the litter box greeblings must be particularly bad in my house. Without exception all my cats use the box (for whatever purpose) and then go on a massive greebling killing spree. We're in the middle of a killing spree now and Lily has just chased what must be a very bad one, down the...

I have a cat, Bobby, that throws up all the foods I feed. I then switched to Wellness and that worked for him but I read that it causes urinary tract disease in male cats. So, I am now using Natural Balance Allergy brand - has venison and green pea in it. I think Dick VanPatten is the creator of...

"Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Next to military service, nothing typifies "Hurry up and Wait" like jury duty. I live in Arlington (Texas), and the courthouse is in Fort Worth. I go into Fort Worth maybe once...

"Victor Martinez" wrote in message ... We went to a party at a friend's house Saturday night. She had hired a psychic to do Tarot card readings for the guests. I signed up and went in to see him. He asked me two questions first: my date of...

Can people please purr pray or send good thoughts to Sydney, Australia. We're in the middle of race riots. I am appalled and disgusted, I am saddened and dissapointed. Mosly I just feel sick. Australia, the Australia I knew, the Australia I emigrated to when i was 4, the Australia I grew up...

We have a fair amount of new folks posting, not to mention all us "old folks" (ahem). And while I know many of your cats' names, my age-addled brain sometimes forgets. So how about posting your name and your kitties (and other pets, too, if you want) in this thread, so we can all have a...

We have a little stray named Mooch Two who's become like our fourth cat. In this cold Canadian climate, we've rigged a big chair on our veranda with blankets and a heating pad, which we turn on for him. We also provide him three or four meals a day, and water. It's a delight to come down in...

Since bringing him inside, I believe I've learned how "Mariah" came to live in our yard. I'm thinking that a mother and/or father decided to give little daughter/son a kitten as a gift. (He's been hanging out at our house for several months so this wasn't a christmas gift). They found this...

Got this from over at RCTN....... One Sunday morning an old cowboy entered a church just before services were to begin. Although the old man and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore jeans, a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged. In his hand he carried a worn out old hat and...

Now, as I get up very early in the week for work, I *do* like to have a little lie-in on Saturday and Sunday morning. I was not best pleased, therefore, to be woken up this morning before 7 by Boyfriend wowling his head off. I put the pillow around my ears, but no good..he would not shut up. I...

Okay, I don't believe in Santa but UPS just delivered a new 17" flat panel monitor to my door. I'm happy! And thank you, LLL, who knows nothing about computers but knows I was having problems with my monitor and knows I have a Dell :) OB Cats: Persia is hiding in the closet because the UPS gal...

Hi there, A while ago my wife watched a BBC Wildlife on One documentary called "Pussies Galore" which was about feral cats living in Rome. If anybody has a copy, can get a copy etc then I would be more than interested as she mentions it on an almost daily basis. Cheers Lord0

In August DP and I bought our first home and moved closer to work/school in a university town. Now that we live so close, friends are ALWAYS stopping in to say “hi�. This has been quite a change for Simba and Pepper as they are not used to company visiting. It has taken several months, but...
