A cat legend by
Singh
Have you ever looked at a tabby cat's face and noticed the mark above
the eyes that looks like an M? There is a legend about this that some
call the Mark of Mohammed, and was probably brought into Europe by
merchants who traded with Arabs and the Arabic-speaking peoples of North
Africa.
It is said...

Visits from "beyond"... by
~*LiveLoveLaugh*~[_2_]
For those of us who have fur babies at the Rainbow Bridge, this question is
for you. Do you ever feel/see/hear the presence of the animal that has
passed?? When I put my Ragdoll down 6 or 7 years ago (God Bless you, Sade),
I used to hear her meow/cry for me when I was in the bathroom upstairs....

Vaccinations? by
jmcquown[_2_]
It's time for me to take Persia for her annual checkup. I just know the vet
will want to give her booster shots. That's all well and good, but is it
really necessary? She's an indoor cat. (She doesn't even really care to
sit in the Kitty Walk enclosure on the patio much anymore.) How on...

A Pair of Cat's Names by
Flippy
Okay, I need a pair of cat's names. Two kittens, probably littermates, about
3 months old. The boy is black/white, the girl is grey/white. They belong to
my neighbor but tonight they are staying with me because I want to take them
for their vaccinations. (The neighbour wouldn't bother with...

Milo has gone AWOL by
Adrian
I haven't seen Milo for 24 hours, he was playing with Baggy in the
garden, then he vanished. Instead of celebrating his first birthday I'm
sitting here worried sick. I've made flyers and spoken to most of the
neighbours, will go round again this evening. I've got a feeling I'll
never see him again,...

VERY LONG RANT - not cat related - sorry by
JoJo
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). ...

Apologies to group, especially Pat by
Yowie
Sorry folks, its been along day and I just sort of got snarky. I cancelled
the message that I sent, but it probably got through to some news providers
anyway.
Just wanted to say sorry for being bitchy, particular to Pat. I hope the
spider bite doesn't cause you too much suffering.

OT purrs, please for DH by
Annie Wxill
Jim went to the doctor today for a pain in his leg. It may be thrombosis
(blood clot). They sent him in for an ultrasound. He will see the doctor
again tomorrow for results.
Here we are literally just getting him back on his feet to return to work
and this happens.
(Sigh)
Any spare purrs would be...

Purrs for Bonnie please? by
Cheryl
She got her shots yesterday, and yesterday was fine. Today, though,
she is very lethargic and not eating. She's eaten a few pieces of dry
food (maybe a couple of mouthfuls all day) but she's usually very
piggy. I know this happens, and it happened to Shadow the last time
he got shots which is...

Disaster strikes by
Pat[_2_]
Last Tuesday I ordered some herbal formulas online - one for Abelard who is
scratching and pawing at his ears again plus a cold/flu formula that I try
to always keep on hand plus one that works well for back pain, a two-month
supply. It has been a while since I've had any money to spare and I...

Floods and Earthquakes by
Bev
We've had it all here in Napier, New Zealand. It started raining at
1.00 this morning and in an hour 55mm fell - I think about half a
foot. People have been evacuated out of houses and kids are paddling
their boats along some streets. The power went off nearby and the
water pumps in certain...

Cats and Milk by
jmcquown
I know I've posted about this before but just curious. I keep hearing that
milk is bad for cats, yet I grew up hearing about "cats and cream" (or
milk). I know lots of people buy special "milk" for cats; goats milk and
soy milk. When Persia first came to me I asked the vet about giving...

Dusty RB by
TJ and The Dust
The hardest thing I have ever had to type. :( Last night it my best buddy
suffered some kind of stroke that caused him to loose control of his legs.
Within hours he became more and more weaker and quietly passed to the bridge
while I held him in my arms. Just before he died he turned his head and...

Abelard To Be Grounded by
Pat
If he shows up, that's it!!!
I can't take his disappearing acts anymore. He left in the middle of the
night last night and I spent about 3 hours searching for him this evening,
worrying half to death.
He ordinarily returns by no later than midnight. Not tonight.
And meowmie cannot sleep.

Purrs for Bridget by

Bridget (metektor) is having a difficult time right now. The tragic death of
Eve really got to her, and other stuff in her life (which she may well
divulge later) has really knocked her around emotionally.
If there's any purrs left in the big barrel o' purrs this group keeps (its
been a tough few...

Grandkitten RB by
CatNipped
My son's little kitten (the one I'd posting pictures of using his litter box
when I kitten-sat) was found dead next to his food bowl - they don't know
what killed him. Their 5-year-old, Taffy, is fine so they don't think it
was poison, and there were no marks on the kitten. They couldn't afford...
