Heads up folks - Problems with Supermarket Petfoods. This was forwarded to me from another list. The link to the AP story is given below. Cats & dogs have died after eating store-brand food from Wal-Mart, Safeway, and some other places. Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/2v2jfj

I'd like to repost some posts from and about when Betty was first adopted. I've thought so much about Betty's end that I feel that I need to revisit the beginning too. I'll never have any more new experiences with Betty. These memories are all I have left. So this is me being selfish, about my...

A cool map thing shown to me by a friend... Here's what you do. Use the slider to the left to zoom in by pushing the curser up. You can actually zoom to a street level! You may have to adjust the map by using the up/down/left/right arrows as the map gets larger as you zoom in. Pinpoint where...

Hi all, I just wanted to tell y'all my great news!!! My SO and I just finished building our dream home, which meant I got to move out of my apartment and into this huge house. Well, I had an outdoor kitty that I looked after, Momma Kitty. She showed up on my doorstep shortly after I moved into...

Hello Californians! How are you after today's 6.0 earthquake. CNN says there have been no reported deaths, but there has been damage - how are things where you are? Did your furry friends give you any advance warning? Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha

I'm finding myself calling Burt "Buster", for some reason. :) I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on integrating these two. They didn't seem to be fighting, but when they meet, what usually happens is that Dot will hiss and growl, Buster will try to get a little closer and lie down, and...

I was concerned that people felt they had to go back to my original post to click on the Bubbels game. Here is the link again to make things easier for you, (s******) http://193.151.73.87/games/bubbels.swf Bev -- The email of the species is more deadly than the mail.

Many thanks to all who were pulling for Rocky, sending purrs to all of us here. Some may consider swapping purrs a little strange, even silly, but when you need them they really do help the recipient. I know I collected those sent for Rocky, and they helped (may have gotten teary reading them, but...

Louie and I went to my father-in-law's birthday party, and out to karaoke to celebrate our anniversary. We met at karaoke, sang instead of danced for our wedding, and went out tonight to do our wedding songs. And when we returned, we found our newest little girl Odessa still hiding, this time...

The children caused this post to drop off the end so I am repeating it. Amber is 11 today. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/View?u=3D1777604&a=3D13746150&p=3D71529480= &Sequence=3D0&res=3Dhigh ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44=B0 15' N - Elevation 1580')

Guest Cat has a name. She is officially Tallulah. I don't know why that suits her, but it does. This afternoon, Tallulah came for a little visit, and when I let her out she wanted me to go with her, looking back and mrrping and waiting for me. I followed her to the storage building where she...

The tops of Chessie's toes are like the finest velvet - she doesn't much like having her toes touched but if I pet them very, very gently, I can get away with it :) She does like tummy tickles and will lie stretched out full length on my arm while I rub her tummy and tell her what a very...

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...

I swear I will *NEVER* even *interview* at a small company ever again. I'm in my new job - everything seemed to be going so well (I'm doing way more than an executive assistant usually does, e.g. updating their web site, creating company brochures, etc.). I'm coming to work early and leaving...

Well, I haven't managed to snap any very good pics of Nikki's impressive whiskers, but here's one that will give you an idea. They don't look nearly as long and bushy as they do 'live'. http://tinyurl.com/u622 And here's just Nikki hanging out on her tree in a very orderly...

"cmtowle" wrote in message news:bTZCe.1979235$Xk.1047181@pd7tw3no... As promised, a final update to let everyone who is interested know that Conan (now "Dylan" which we thought a more gentle name) has indeed been homed with wonderful cat-loving humans and a feline friend. He...

I would like to know "who" this woman is so I can file animal abuse charges against her. People this idotic do not deserve to have pets period! Furthermore, I would like to see more people refer to the term "guardian" rather than "owner". "Ownership" implies that your pet is an inanimate object...

I've got my debit card back in 2 days and in 3 the first of my credit cards surfaced but Dave hasn't seen his new debit card so decided to call the bank (and also complain about the guy) Guess what? His bank have no record of any request to stop the card as far as they are concerned it's still...

Thanks for the purrs. She is much better today, has hardly sneezed at all. I was at home with her all day today so I know that for sure. Not only that, she ate a few tablespoons of "cat food" last night and some this morning. I've been longing to get her back on to cat food as her exclusively...
