Never though it could happen, but yep, now I'm a certified cat slave, have been for a while, but it just sunk in. The following main sign? I permit Tiny Shorty to suckle on my earlobe. First I would like to point out that he was an orphan, While I was fostering him, I got another litter to...

I went to get catfood at the vets today and what should be there, only a week after Nermal's passing, but a dainty little silver tipped persian for adoption. Tiny. Tiny, tiny. Like a half grown kitten and HUGE green eyes. But she is 4 years old. Her owners did not want to deal with her...

As Stinky told you all, we are having painting and work done in the house. Just about everything upstairs was moved temporarily downstairs, and it looks like that famous last dolly scene in "Citizen Kane." :P Boxes, crates and junk as far as the eye can see. Stinky had to sniff everything and...

My meowmie doesn't think I'm that smart. Pity that hoomins think they're smarter than us. I hear Mama Kristi saying that she was going on a "trip" this weekend to some place called Vegas. But I also hear Mama Kristen say that she was going to place called Disneyland. I know Mama Kristi works...

Pam called and things are great. They survived a bad storm in Virginia, and should be home I believe in the next day or two. She has tons of photos, so we can all look forward to that. They are just having way too much fun. I believe they're gypsies at heart :-) Sherry

My central air conditioning has died and I have to wait for some customer payments before I get it fixed. Meanwhile, I do have a window unit in the bedroom. The traditional roles are that Mr. Clark is the principal bedtime cat, cuddling and often getting on top as he grooms me. Rhonda is more...

I have to ask the vet if Persia can eat this stuff. She *adores* it! Any kind of food she wouldn't eat, I'd just sprinkle a tiny bit of this stuff on it and she would chow down. This isn't a commercial, just a link to what I'm talking about: http://www.lucy-the-dog.com/barleycat.html Since I...

I was telling my co-workers about the precious persian this morning and how I felt it was somehow fateful when I saw her when my supervisor walked in and said "My mom's 17 y.o. siamese died". I mentioned about this cat but not suggesting she tell her mom about it or anything (you know, it...

One day last week he was sleeping on the driveway and called out to him. He did not wake up. I called louder. He still did not wake up. I panicked. I thought he was laying there dead. I ran over closer and yelled "ABELARD!! WAKE UP!!!" and he still did not wake up. Then I started taking the...

Please please start right now and join me in a newsgroup-wide collective purr for Cheryl's Shadow. She is on her way to the ER with him.

I received an email today from a lady in Indianapolis (approximately 65 miles NNE of where I am - she says her boyfriend lives here in Bloomington), who is interested in Minnie. She is willing to wait until nasty ringworm is cleared up, as she is moving at the end of this month to a new apt (I...

I see Steve posted my update about the proceedure being so far away. And that I was upset about it. Well, I went to the office in peson Saturday because its the day when the new girl(the one who wouldn't give me an earlier appointment for crackes) isn't in. I talked to the tech robyn about him...

Mom called; her carotid artery surgery is Thursday morning, 7/15 at 8:40 AM Eastern Time. So, my trip to New York state for the Sryacuse art show is off. I will need to be available to fly into Savannah (or Charleston) and drive into Beaufort at any time. PURRRS please. And thank you all. Jill

My newsserver has been down all weekend, so I haven't been able to post (and, oh, my! Over 500 posts!). Got a phone call Saturday from Dave on the road, and we managed to figure out how to get he and Patty to our place. Timing was not great, as I was just feeding the cats. Trill did not even...

Hello group, I'm about to head out the door for two weeks in Sweden. Purrs, prayers, headbuts, and congratulations in advance as needed. Rosie and Cinder have done their duty to coat the baggage in cat hair. Rosie used the excuse of a hug to decorate my shirt. It will be interesting to see the...

Second week of July-- my sweet little buddy Stinky has been with me thirteen years. Bringing him home was one of the best things I've ever done. He is so full of love and silliness and kittenlike spirit. He was mounting a huge harassment campaign this morning, attacking me from each flank as I...

Until the bladder surgery, even with special UTI dry food, Persia was losing a lot of weight. I was very concerned; I wasn't used to seeing her ribs and her hip bones as she walked (still regally) away from me. Since the surgery (to remove the bladder stones and benign cyst) and the introduction...
