In our family I'm the 2nd oldest kittycat. My grumpy older sisfur Cleopatra thinks she's the queen of the universe, and doesn't go out of her way to teach or protect the tiny kittens. Pests though the tiny ones are, I at least acknowledge my responsibilities as mentorcat. We all like to spend time...

http://www.well.com/~bubbles/Poetry/ChristmasCat.txt My Paw found a link to this on one of the other newsgroups he reads.

As the rays of the rising sun start to shine on the highest ramparts of Culzean Castle we see signs of activity on the grounds. Groundskeeper cats are scurrying around making sure that the grounds are as perfect as can be, and a catering company truck is backed up to the kitchen doors with...

The human on the news this morning said that Denver was expecting a huge snow storm. Try to keep warm, kitties! And keep your humans indoors if you can. Amelia

Even Ranger stayed focused on one thing long enough to get a mousey. But you have to get 21 to win -- and only Amelia did that. I guess being a Senior Cat does have its perks. And underneath her Tortie exterior lies the heart of a gambler extraordinaire! And let's not forget that through...

Latest word is that he has moved out of the ICU in to the step-down unit. Most promising progress! Amelia

I don't know if any of your humans are anywhere near Mew Jersey, but the humans are holding a memorial service for Uncle Serge the same day that my humans are doing the charity walk. Below is a message from Serge's cousin: Hello, Let me introduce myself. I am Serge's cousin. As you may know, he...

My Paw finished the design for the t-shirt he and Meowmie will be wearing to the charity walk this weekend. It can be seen at: http://smurgle.net/photos/Serge/SergeLogoWithCatsReordered.gif Also, my humans will be video taping the walk and taking photos, and will post them afterwards. They are...

Our Uncle Pat in Catifurnia lives with two dogs, Pearl Mae and Jessie James. Pearl has been having some issues with back pain. At her last TED visit (yesterday), TED said that she has severe arthritis and vertebra bridging. She is on strong pain pills and anti-inflammatories, and she has...

One of the mailing lists my Paw is on is used to connect kitties an doggies needing rides to new homes with humans willing to drive them. One of the messages that came across the mailing list this morning caught my Paw's eye. A 22 year old kitty is looking for a ride from Wyoming to Utah! I...

Our Uncle Pat, Paw's brother, told Paw yesterday that he had a new stray cat visiting him - a blue-point Siamese with a broken paw. Pat has a trap set for the poor kitty so he can catch him and take him to the vet. Purrs, please, that the kitty will allow himself to caught and that he can be...

Hey, Clarence, why don't you run for Chief Justicat? Amelia

I haven't seen anyone call yet for votes for Chief Justicat. All 6 of us in the mid-Iowa clowder vote for Clarence for Chief Justicat. Amelia

HRH Cleopatra Silvercat is going back to see TED this morning. Last night she clawed a big hunk of fur off the bottom of her chin. Paw is afraid that she might have an abcess or something. Please join me in purring for a good outcome for Cleo. Emergency TED visits are always a big concern for...

My elderly sisfur Cleopatra could use some more purrs. The TED diagnosed her abcess and put her on antibiotics a couple weeks ago, but she's still not bouncing back like she should. She has been back to TED a couple times since then and he says she's healing nicely, but she is definitely not...

Paw just got a call from the lady who lives across the street from us. She reports seeing a kitty in her back yard who looks a lotn like Tabitha Fluffybutt! I guess it's a good thing that Meowmie doesn't have a tuna place now - she's headed over there to see what she can find. Please keep your...

Ok, kitties, it looks like we're here! Lets go meet some local kitties, and see what we can learn. Beauty, this looks like a job for the Secretary of Foods. I thik these are raspberry bushes. I don't know if any of the Community kitties like raspberries, but you might be able to determine...

My Paw has put a video player up at http://smurgle.net/serge. He will be testing it before Saturday, so if you happen to go there and click on the player button and see a chubby hoomin with red face fur, that's him. The two on-demand videos that are linked there right now are just...
