Anyone here into doomsday prophecies? I just saw a special on the history channel about the significance of 2012 (the predicted "end of the world" date from the Mayan calendar, IChing, and several other sources). Personally, I remember all the bruhaha over Y2K so I'm not cashing out my...

Senyah has remained with me for 22 years, despite me. What is *wrong* with that woman? Mark Edwards -- Proof of Sanity Forged Upon Request

This is pretty interesting. I saw a show on TV about this within the past couple of years. I love hearing about researchers finding out that many other species of animals are more like us than we...

The two little babies are *adorable*. They're both Siamese/tabby mixes, probably lilac point. They are very playful - all they want to do is attack each other or me. I think I've taught them not to bite hard, which they were doing at first. Each time they bit hard enough to cause pain, I made a...

GREAT FALLS, Mont. - A 3-year-old cat credited with saving lives by tapping its owner's nose with a paw to alert her of a gas leak has been awarded the Purple Paw by the Great Falls Animal Foundation. Schnautzie received her award Saturday at the foundation's annual Fur Ball. Trudy Guy says...

I've seen ads for Sheba canned cat food but until recently I'd never seen it on store shelves. Persia was getting tired of the canned Friskies. I decided to give Fancy Feast another try. Then I saw cans of Sheba right next to it. Oh! I read the labels side by side. Not only are the...

Saturdays I spend some time doing maintenance on the two fish tanks we keep. The large tank is easier to take care of, because it has a more stable ecosystem due to its size. The little tank requires weekly water changes, though. That's exactly what I was doing when Fez decided to give me a hand....

I posted last week about a frieds mother who had passed away.....anyway, the funeral was this morning, it was very nice...the photo they had on the "Service booklet" was her with Mintie (the daschsund). You'll be all pleased to know that Mintie has found a good home in on of the grandchildren (who...

I've come to the conclusion that Nanki-Poo has a phobia about men. It really hurts my son, who loves animals, with cats at the top of his list. Whenever a man comes into the house, Nanki disappears, and stays out of sight for at least a couple of hours after the man leaves. He didn't come out for...

He's 6mo, intact. When I work the computer he sometimes leaps on my desk, walks up to me and very gently reaches out and lightly touches my face with his front paw. It is not that he's lonely, he has a (fixed) sister whom he sexually harasses regularly. She never does that.

He's going in Monday to the low-cost neuter/spay vet to be snipped. I'm going to worry like crazy, of course, so any purrs that he make it through safely are appreciated. Ginger-lyn Home Pages: http://www.spiritrealm.com/summer/ http://www.angelfire.com/folk/glsummer (homepage &...

Among horsepeople it is known that sometimes the vet does not "get everything" when a colt is gelded, and you end up with a gelding that behaves more like a stud. I don't know if this is a remediable situation in a horse or if the same thing can happen with a male cat, but I was thinking it could...

Has anyone else seen these Honda Element commercials where the vehicle makes small talk with some little animal? I've seen a platypus, an opossum, and a crab, and I must say, the crab rules. It's just one of those very odd, silly things that crack me up for reasons I just don't know. But really,...

Well, I got fed up with using my nice stuff to pick up the bath poo, so I bought some really cheap stuff just for him. I've only had to use the cheap stuff once as he hasn't pooed in the bath for 4 days (!) When I was overfeeding him for weight gain, lasting out overnight was unlikely, but now...
