My number one boy Arthur passed away last night after 17 wonderful years with us. We will miss him terribly. Can't write any more now, but there are a couple of photos of him here http://members.westnet.com.au/hcbart/inmates/arthur.html

Hello all, Despite constant veterinary care for the last three months, and second opinions, our Lyric has continued to go down hill. At this point, I know that she will soon begin to suffer, and I have made the extremely painful decision to euthanize. It has been such a hard week for my friends...

Boyfie came in from rat patrol on Monday evening and went straight to bed which is not unusual. What was a bit unusual was the look on his face. I don't suppose anyone else would have noticed except me, who knows him so well. When he didn't get out of bed for his breakfast yesterday - well,...

When Shmogg was still with us, one of the things he delighted in was rustling through the bottoms of the vertical blinds. Anyone who has vertical blinds will know that they aren't particular robust window coverings, and a 6kg cat rustling around in the bottom of them with great enthusiasm is Not...

From the Kitab al-Aghani of Abu al-Faraj al-Isbahani (d.967), a vast treatise on music in 24 volumes and 10,000 pages: One day Ibrahim al-Mawsili longed for a cellar of his. In it there was a pond to which water was fed from a source and from which the water then flowed to a garden. ...

Maybe someone knows about this and has some advice. My cat Charlotte has started a new habit. If I put my shoes by the front door, she pees on them. I discovered this after I had company for dinner, and I kept smelling cat urine. No one else did. I discovered one of my shoes was the source! ...

Giving Mojo medication or arranging a trip to the vet is almost impossible, like any good cat, he has a sixth sense that alerts tothe prospect of either. As soon as his "spidy sense" kicks in he makes for my bedroom and gets under the double bed which is wide enough that he can get in a...

Yesterday after I was geting food for myself (snacks), I was walking back to my room and when I got there I noticed three cats QC, Quigon, and Merlin laying on my bed. As soon as I opened my door all three cats were staring at me which I do find kinda anerving, I had to move at least two cats so...

It seems like the past 6 months there have been *so many* RPCA kitties going to the Bridge. By my count, no less than 11 RPCA cats have gone to the Bridge, just since June. I'm sorry to say that it is getting very hard to remember all of the RB kitties, so they can be properly honored. So I...

My Muriel is deaf as a post. She's spent most of the evening sitting at a window watching the flashes and showers of sparks whizzing past the window. Wonderful fun. To a human, or a cat with normal hearing, it sounds like the first day of the Battle of the Somme. The others spent the same...

I found this in an old email and thought folks here might have some fun with it. Feel free to embellish answers, avoid questions, and make up outright lies if it entertains you. :) Oh, and I'll post my answers soon, too, but I thought it would be easier for folks to respond if they didn't have to...

Just getting a little depressed about everything not sure if our post came through?

It dragged itself away and hid. Beyond fear it waits a slow death. I can't kill. I give it dark and shelter and drink, And let God give it peace. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm a wimp. Sigh...

Here's a fun clip of a beautiful young Maine Coon boy named Jasper, and his buddy, Ella, a cute little toddler in red jammies. Look how nicely they play together! A good time is had by all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz2uncI8KLw

Is there anyone on the list who knows if cards sent to Bluebird and Norma Munday, using last year's address, will be delivered? I'm assuming Dave Gerecke's address has not changed. Any help would be appreciated. Julie
