I had hoped to set up another group purr activity for the nearest equinox or full moon. Looks like I missed both - doh! GOt to pay more attention! So how about this weekend? Maybe Saturday evening/Sunday morning, same time schedule as last time? I'll update the purr list today or tomorrow. Dan

Yesterday my old cat Patches http://www.mary.cc/patches/ was sitting next to my feet in my home office. I decided to let my midget skunk in the house to run around. I'm training him to be an educational animal for my wildlife rescue group. Here's a pic of him and Patches. He's grown a little since...

I tell you, it is a greenhouse! I'm planning to propagate some hydrangeas, gardenias and azaleas this winter from cuttings and was trying to find this little greenhouse thingy I had given my father a few years ago. It is a frame similar to a bookcase made of pvc tubing with a vinyl cover and an...

Thanks to your good wishes, my "trip from hell" was more like "Purgatory". Survived five whole days!! You didn't let me down, either - it's taken *days* off and on to catch up with all the great posts! I'm so happy for Fox and Sam(my) and Frank, et al. And still hoping and purring for good jobs...

"Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... This is a cute page, probably better without the sound (just my opinion) - the lady singing the song sounds brain damaged or very, very tired. Lol! or drunk. Loved the sleepy...

Thanks for all the purrs and suggestions. Sammy is back to normal today. Glad I didn't skip the appointment yesterday, like I started to when it seemed like she was almost well on her own. I imagine that's why the murmur and fluid threw me for a loop. The suggesiton about thinking and writing down...

It's all that love, Marina. ;) Franki is one lucky boy. Jazz & his mama -- Irulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time

On Sat, 02 Oct 2004 09:31:17 -0600, Mark Edwards yodeled: For those who don't read Slashdot ("News For Nerds - Stuff That Matters" http://slashdot.org), here are a couple of funny links: Technical review of kittens: http://www.dansdata.com/kitten.htm

I'm wondering at what the older members of this group (or any of you, for that matter) may have done as far as making arragements for their cats to be taken care of if they should pass away before their cats do. This subject was brought up on another group and it got me wondering. My DH and I...

I know the recipe, or *a* recipe, for this has been posted here more than once. However, this site not only has a more detailed recipe than I've seen, for a more realistic effect, and a photo of the finished product. Now if I could just figure out somebody to serve it to! ...

Here's the link to the pictures Tweed sent me to post for her: http://www.gcmensa.org/images/Tweed/ Hugs, CatNipped

Last evening, I was reading in bed, and Stinky had happily stuffed himself into a nearby box-- don't ask, there's always a nearby box. ;) I turned to look at him, and caught his eye; immediately, he said "Waow!", uncurled himself out of the box, stood up, stretched, came over to the bed, jumped...

This afternoon I was colouring my hair. It's insane how much grey I have at age 32 :-( I had all the dye in and was sitting in a towel on the couch, waiting until it was time to rinse. Suddenly Vino came up and sat in front of me on the arm of the couch. He looked up at me and it was so funny...

I almost didn't take her in, because she seems to me to be doing so much better. But, I figured since the appointment had already been made, we'd go ahead and go. The news wasn't exactly good. When TED listened to her chest he said there was fluid on the chest, and a heart murmur. He gave her a...

I know some of you are fans of the blogger Cherie Priest and her cat, Spainy. Spainy left a "deposit" of blood & mucus on Cherie's floor the other day, and was taken quickly to the vet, who found nothing wrong. He thought that perhaps Spainy ruptured a blood vessel trying to cough up a hair...

Livid even. Yes, I know cats catch wild birds and that's why I didn't want any cats, because I love birdwatching. Boyfriend lost his posh tapestry collar the other day, the one he arrived here with, so I bought him a reflective one yesterday with a bell on as he fancies himself as quite a hunter of...

The last few days I've noticed Persia making sounds like the Tribbles from the old original Star Trek series. She only does this from time to time, when am reading and she is laying on top of me. The first time I heard it I thought WTF? Then I realized, it happens when she's purring hard and...

Somehow I have seeb to come dowd wid a cold. Complede wid achey feber, scratchy throad, and stubbed ub dose. My dose is so stubbed ub, I feel like all by mucos membrades have dried up and sent their mucus to by dose. It's so bad, it's even ebected my typing. I'm currently zucking on Halls...

That's right, I took an "l" out of her name. It's "Lily" now, like the flower, because she is as pretty as a flower. She left a beautiful young bird laying on the ground right in front of the door. I saw it - belly down, wings spread, head turned to one side - as I went out to run an errand. By...
