As Pam suggested in another thread - a hobby would be a good way to distract myself from the fear of being alone when DH starts his new shift. I just need some suggestions that take into account my limitations: I'm broke so the materials can't be costly; I'm a klutz so it can't be something...

Two weeks ago she wasn't interested in boxes. I had an empty box sitting on the dining room floor. Today, she was sniffing at it. So I moved it to the living room. Not 2 minutes later, Buffy in a box! http://i59.tinypic.com/4jt8oy.jpg I had several more boxes in different sizes in the...

Hi all: A friend of mine has rescued a tiny stray kitten - only 3 or 4 weeks. She has three concerns: feeding, worming, and constipation. If any of you have any insight, I'd appreciate it! I'll also call the TED late tomorrow and see what he says. We are travelling and out of town until then. ...

Someone sent me this link. It's a tiny, tiny kitten that someone is hand-raising. It can't be more than a day or two old! The photos are really good. http://www.livejournal.com/users/fimbrethil/344936.html Joyce

Joel thinks its slightly bizarre that I *insist* on tuning into a show - and a weird show that is playin gon our 'community' channel at that - purely by the fact that some cat group on the internet has recommended it. Never the less, I was delighted to discover that "Iron Chef" had finally made it...

Since returning from France there's been a visitor to Chateau Simmons. One that is not welcome according to the feline residents - especially according to Waffles. It's a lilac tortie point (I think) siamese, intact male. As the doors & windows are left open when we are in, so that Waffles, Francis...

I was watching TV and heard a loud conmotion coming from the dining room, like someone was charging against the door that leads to the car port. I got up and saw the neighbor's cat attacking Luna through the glass. I chased our cats away from the door and got out to chase Max away. I scared him off...

If you are tender-hearted, *DO NOT* rent this movie. It was in the *children's* section at Hollywood Video, so I thought it would be a touching little movie about two tiger cubs. I had to quit watching it, it literally made me sick to my stomach. The tigers being killed left and right, the abuse...

I will have to admit I was a little nervous with the rescue group taking her to a distant vet, but I got this message late tonight: Dear Dad, I have been a really good little girl this week and I know you would be proud of me. I used my very best manners and was on my very best behavior. ...

The results took so long cause the lab lost one vial of blood and I had to give more. But the results are in now. Saturday I will have a conference with the doc about the results. The results are unbelievable!! Smoking caused my Hct and Hgb to be a bit too high; but everything else is just fine,...

This makes you wonder about humans! http://www.picpatrol.com/snapshots/200309/pink_shaved_cat.shtml Bev -- God may have created man before woman but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

I wanted to ask a question on the health+behav group but there are no articles. Has everyone left that group? Maybe someone here can help me. I'm looking for a product, so I'm not whether people outside this country can help, but here goes: I need a UV light. (Or is it a black light? Are they...

I could really use some job purrs right now. In my continuing saga to find new employment (got outsourced in April, nobody is hiring for anything (and I've been looking in 3 different metro areas in 3 different states + various other places)), I've got a good lead on a 6 month contract job in the...

Well, I'm scheduled for 11:00AM CDST tomorrow (Friday, August 20), and knowing how powerful the purrs from this group are, humbly ask for some purrs that the lithotripsy goes smoothly with no complications. Thanks guys. Hugs, CatNipped

http://tinyurl.com/2elfl BILLINGS, Mont. -- Billings firefighters usually don't do pet rescues, but Battalion Chief Tim Bergstrom said they agreed to respond to the pleas of a city resident whose cat had a litter of kittens in a tree. The woman called a veterinarian for advice, and he confirmed...

Just wanted to send out mass purrs, congratulations, and laughter to everyone who needs/deserves/asks/whatever. I've been sick for several days, and life is pretty much going to hell in a handbasket, so I have missed two or three days (see, I can't even remember!) of posts, and it's impossible to...
