Persia has been so terribly clingy and whiny today. I swear she knows I'm dropping her off to be boarded tomorrow afternoon. I have NOT touched the suitcase! I leave it on the floor between trips and she's used to it. I swear I haven't touched it. Today she's just been fussy, whiny. She feels...

Some people have screen savers. I have a screen blocker. Sometimes she's a keyboard blocker or a mouse sitter. ;-) Skeeter likes to stand in front of the monitor until I take her into my lap. Then sometimes she stands on my lap, making it pretty difficult to reach the keyboards. Other times...

I just need to rant to anyone who will listen. I am 37 years old and a few years ago decided it was time to go to college and get that oh-so important piece of paper called a degree. I start off "easy" - two year community college, get my associates in three years (keep in mind work full time). ...

I have posted two stories about my big orange boy Simba and figured I should post one about his adopted brother Pepper. We had adopted Simba to be my cat, however, he chose J as his person. After about 4 months we decided to adopt another kitten – Pepper – the amazingly gorgeous tuxedo tabby....

We are taking Mike in the morning to the internal medicine specialist. This is exactly what we want to do, of course, but I can't help but be apprehensive. Poor Mikey is going to have an appx. 2 1/2 hour car ride, and then we have no idea what we'll be facing at the end of it. I am very hopeful,...

I care for two indoor only cats with free run of the house. They are allowed to go anyplace inside EXCEPT the kitchen counter and stove top. Well, as this is the place the "people food" appears from – the cats lounge on the counter anyway! Well, last night J. and I made a mini-thanksgiving...

I put a pic and an adoption listing of the FF up on ABPA (alt.binaries.pictures.animals) -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington! (And proud of it, too)© email me at nalee1964 (at) insightbb (dot)...

I could use some purrs on a couple of different issues. First is a minor medical thing. I've had a sore throat, ear ache, and cough for about two weeks now. It's become quite painful, and is a constant thing. I know a simple quik trip to the doctor would fix me right up, but I don't know when my...

Sweetie has gotten pretty demanding about "Turn the bathroom faucet on for me! Now!" So I went out and got a fountainy thing - BUT - when I got it home I realized the basin/bowl is made of plastic, and Sweetie is prone to kitty acne, which is aggravated by plastic bowls. I searched a bit, but...

Pam and her wonderful family stopped by our house on their trip west on Tuesday night -- we ate, talked about our respective "masters", Dungeons and Dragons, politics, and a bazillion other things, often at the same time, so the volume level often got quite high! I know my DH, Byron, who normally...

I thought our little family was complete. Then my "adopted" daughter (long story) called. Vicki: Wanna hear a sad story? Renee: No, I can't. Dont ask me. Vicki: You really must hear this. Renee: No, no, no! Please!

This past Thursday as I was coming back here(far North Dallas/Collin County) via Hwy 380...a coyote ran across my path in hot pursuit of what appeared to be a fat cat....I screeched my car to a halt.... grabbed my flashlight and gave chase...long story short...I ran the coyote off...rescued said...

Sunday afternoon, DH and I were to take Mike in for sub-q fluids from the vet tech when she was there to feed the boarders; however, when we arrived TED himself was there instead, and we were able to talk uninterrupted for a bit while the IV bag emptied itself into Mikey. I am not entirely sure...

Harvey really doesn't enjoy zerbeting. (That is, rubbing your face in his stomach) -- Willow: Then talk. Keep eye contact. Funny is good, but don't be glib. And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel. A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend. Have fun.

Hey all, I know Christmas is a long way off but I like to start shopping early. Anyway I have 2 nephews belonging to 2 different brothers of mine. One is 3 and the other is 2. Being single and not having kids, I thought it would be fun to buy the 3 year old a set of drums for Christmas. Much to my...

I had to go ahead and take Persia for boarding this morning rather than this afternoon. I found her urinating outside the box and there was blood in the urine. So, I scooped her up (YOWLLLLLLLL) and went ahead and took her to her vet where she boards. I explained the situation so they will check...

We found yet another good use for the kitty stroller. Evacuating the premisis! We had a strong thunder storm roll thru this afternoon and our building was hit by lightening. I felt and smelled it! The building's fire alarms started blaring for s few seconds, stopped for about two minutes and...

We had some plumbers doing some work outside today with a big machine that was very loud. Frank got scared, and got under the dining room tablecloth, like he does a lot lately. The men came inside so I could pay them. I noticed one of them kept glancing over at the big lump under the tablecloth. I...
