Zerbras, gazelles, wildebeest...............

Last month when I got my electric bill it was for usage Sept. 25 thru Oct. 23. I expected it to be lower than the previous bill, because the big heat wave had ended in mid-September and I had quit using so many fans. But no, it was 70kwh higher than the bill for the prior month. I asked about it...

I used to think it was common for a cat, when interrupted suddenly by some noise or motion; to which it must give momentary undivided attention, in the process of licking itself, to "freeze" with the tip of its tongue sticking out of a closed mouth, and then appear to forget that the tongue is...

NBC news just announced that cherry blossoms are in bloom right now in Washington DC.

The Bank of Queensland has apologised after granting a credit card to pet cat in Melbourne. South Morang resident Katherine Campbell obtained a card for her cat "Messiah", which was attached to the woman's existing account. It has been reported she was testing the bank's identity screening. The...

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the Krackle Sack! Unfortunately, Chloe likes to pounce on it at night and since I'm sleeping in the living room, it wakes me up. :~) Hey, at least it's being used! Chloe seems to be the only one of the 3 who has taken a liking to it so far. I would have sent...

Just back from ten days in Istanbul, which is near to being the cat capital of the planet. I've been visiting Turkey for 25 years. When I first went, there were many cats in very poor condition: matted fur, obvious flea infestation, sometimes malnourished. Over the last few years they've...

Thank you to everyone on RPCA for your messages of support and kindness. I've directed Dad to RPCA so that he can read them for himself (although cannot post, for some reason). He says "Thanks for that. It's so very kind of them. I've had lots of phone calls and emails as the news spread,...

Just checking to see if my computer is working. Hi y'all. Missed everyone will update when I get this all figured out. Hazel Az

I have missed you guys dreadfully. A few people got ahold of my work e-mail address and have kept me posted of many of the happenings on the group. Even though I haven't posted I have thought of all of you and sent purrs and prayers for everyone. We lost Paint Job last year. She was the one...

Sometimes I thinks, and sometimes I just sits and thinks! Today I was thinking about how both my cats have fitted in so well with me and my lifestyle. I wasn't expecting to have any cats. After all my d*gs went to RB, first Kitty FC claimed a place by the fire, and then Boyfriend came. It was...

I hope that the wild weather heading towards WA (Western Australia, not Washington!) does not cause you and harm or inconvenience. It looks like it's going to be a doozy of a storm! Tish

It rained all day yesterday (and still is). Yesterday afternoon I was on the couch looking out the window and noticed the wind had picked up a little. The boughs on the pine trees in the yard behind my patio fence were swaying back and forth. A *very* short time later those same boughs...

Mark I am going to say this for the group it is a BIG THANK YOU for taking on the current task of the FAQ of the RPCA. My pack wanted me to pass it on specially spirit who has a claw pressed into my shoulder for I am typing and not scratching his head Once again THANK YOU MARK :-)

Purrs for your efforts! Laku's name already is on the list, as he's the older kitty of the household, but our younger master Nico's name is not there, yet. Nico would appreciate to be added too. -- Christine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos:...

We're having a rough time (again) and could really use some purrs to help us out of a major hole. I don't want to get into detail, but right now is not a good time for us. One bright note, however, some one at the VA has admitted that Rob has brain cancer and wants a copy of his treatment...

Oh, my goodness! This is prime viewing time -- 12:23 a.m. Central Time. Several baboons, some zebras, cameras are zooming in for closeups. A little baby baboon is circling it's mother as she eats. Every once in awhile, she will stop eating, the baby will grab hold, and the mother will walk...

Anyone know Latin? Joel wants to create a guild on World of Warcraft called "From nothing, blood comes" The translation would be something akin to "Ex nihilo, sanguine effundi" Although I don't know the correct endings (delinations?), nor do I know the correct phrasing. Even if you speak...

I'm very, very upset to have to tell you that my father's much beloved cat Potjie, a.k.a. Jet, died this morning. Yesterday morning he was kicked whilst walking behind a cow (kicked by a cow). My father rushed him to the vet and he was put on a drip. He seemed to be improving and everyone was...
