Senyah tells me she had trouble sleeping last night, but mostly because she was laughing. I am one of those annoying people who can decide to go to sleep, and drop off immediately. Miss Emily was sharing my pillow. Senyah tells me that every time I would snore, Miss Emily would flatten her...

What is the latest news about the Royal Baby watch?We are sending our best wishes and purrs that all goes well. MLB

I got one a while ago and it's very useful. Last night when boyfie & I were watching the telly we heard a crash from the kitchen and now it's a gonner. I spent ages with the vacuum cleaner cleaning up from the smashed glass for Boyfie's paws. I stil don't know how it happened. I've ordered...

Because I go out at about 11 a.m on Christmas Day, return at 3.45 for his tea (very important) spend an hour or so with him, and go again until midnight. The following day, similar except I get home earlier. Having some turkey doesn't make up for it. He's glad when Christmas is over. TBH, so am...

You folks really made this a nice holiday season! Thanks! Jill

Last night, Tasha and I engaged in a battle of wills. She wanted to eat her freshly caught mouse in the comfort of a warm house, I want to take it away from her. She tried to sneak it in four times in 30 minutes, without succeeding and promptly went back outside. On the fifth occasion I won,...

I had turned in for the night and heard a faint, high-pitched meow. It didn't sound familiar, so my first thought was "it must be Thud." She' s very quiet, aside from having a room-shaking purr when she's around Giovanni, so her meow isn't something I'd recognize. It occurred to me that I...

I haven't been actually posting on here lately, but just yesterday Barney (litter mate to Betty & Bam-Bam, baby brofur to Weeble, Ernie, Mimi & Moe) had to have a couple of inches amputated from his tail. He had always had a 'bent' tip to his tail, but recently it had become bothersome to him (I...

Off to be with my family for the next couple days. Merry xmas to all have fun stay safe

Nikki and Selina are doing well, but Duffy has not been eating right and has lost weight. Based on estimates when I first adopted him, he is probably 15-16 years old now. I took him to the vet today, and the good news is that all of his tests (blood work and urinalysis) except one are good. ...

I've had Thud just short of five months. She's a little calico cat who by an improbably set of circumstances came to me from a shelter well out of the area; she was about to be put down because she's so terrified of people and there was no reason anyone would want a cat like that. Well, I'm a...

Persia kept going over to the corner of the living room. There's a table there with bone china teacups that belonged to my grandmother. (I don't want her leaping and possibly breaking any of the teacups.) A squirrel keeps jumping up on that ledge... I don't know why. But it attracted her...

When I got dressed for my interview, I put on some thin black business socks. After I got home, I took off the dress socks, and put them on the bed. Apache has grbbed them and declared my socks to be hers. Miss Emily came in for awhile. Senyah and I had to talk to someone on the speakerphone,...

I guarantee it will make you laugh if anyone ever wondered about the quality of Google translate... http://distractify.com/fun/fails/the-x-worst-asian-sign-translations-of-all-time/ I loved it. Tweed

Persia has always loved to be brushed. We just had a good time for about 10 minutes. She was purring like crazy while I brushed her and kissed the top of her head. I told her how much I love her. She wears a collar with a tag. I remove it when I brush her so she can get some really good...

Again with the cat TV... the temperature is a lovely 74°F here in South Carolina. (Sorry, folks who are cold and/or snowed in!) I've got the patio door and windows open. Persia is chattering at some really BIG black crows. They're eating seed I've scattered on the patio. I love to see her...

Apache was in the hallway, with her back turned to Senyah, and looking very irritated. It seems that Apache was in the middle of HER bed, when Senyah dropped her clothes on a corner of the bed away from Apache, but without asking Apache's permission. So I picked Apache up (which she normally...

Dot managed to dash past me into the dark and icy night as I was bringing home groceries! I couldn't stop her because of my larger than usual armful - I had bought drinks and things for my students who are presenting their masters theses this week. At least initially, Dot must've been delighted at...

Last night, the temperature was enough above freezing (45F), that Miss Emily wanted to stay outside for the night. By the morning, however, she had changed her mind, and had her face right up against the gap between the screen and the window frame, looking all around for someone to let her...

I can't think of what to call people who simply move and leave their pets behind. If you can't take care of them, call someone! I got this email today from the woman who is charge of the Dataw Island Feline Foundation: "We have a situation that is very serious for a couple of cats on our...
