Hi everyone, One of the kittens at the shelter, a little grey and white girl named Anastasia, suddenly became ill. I was at the shelter yesterday, and she seemed fine. Was very energetic, appeared healthy. This morning, one of the volunteers called me (the kitten coordinator is on vacation) and...

Has anybody heard from Hazel lately? It has been some time since I've seen a post from her. At that time her husband was threatening her and her cats, and she was trying to save up enough to move out. I hope she and the cats are safe. -- Joy "You can never do a kindness too soon because you...

Was there going to be another run of these shirts? I know Bridget and Ron did them last time, is there enough interest to have another go? Is there any masochist^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H volunteers out there who would be willing to do it again? Just curious. Yowie

"Mark Edwards" wrote In memoriam, Presto Magiccat, 1989 - 2003 Oh, Mark, I can't tell you how sorry I am to read this. Many purrs to you and Senyah, and to Little Feet who will surely miss his buddy in spite of everything. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki

Or, an alternate title, "Why My Cats Don't Go Out Anymore". I always thought it would be fun if we posted a "view" from the window we look out. I normally wouldn't do this right now, because there's nothing uglier than Oklahoma's landscape in January. But I looked up from the computer and saw...

Just fill the b* forms in and lets stop hearing why not. Sheesh. Just do it unless you want a fine. I can't believe there's such a fuss about it in USA. Get it done. Tweed

There is not much improvement. She eats a tablespoon of roast chicken per day, that is all, so gets frailer and frailer. She will not entertain any other food. I am not happy that the vet has not addressed her diarrhoea problems since she was kidnapped, she had perfect poo until then, it's...

New Zealand has an odd custom (I am told this by overseas visitors). Sometimes if we go to a function i.e. a farewell for someone, a commtttee meeting etc. we are told to 'bring a plate'. My German sister-law admitted to complete confusion when asked to do this and took an empty plate! 'Bring a...

Persia was chasing something around, I didn't see what it was. Then she came walking around from behind her cat cradle and had something in her mouth. I looked and saw legs dangling. Ewww! She dropped this huge waterbug/palmetto bug onto the carpet; it was still alive and she started swatting...

Just finished building the new cat house for the cats' enclosure. I posted a couple of shots on the RPCA_Pictures webpage (http://tinyurl.com/psgm). Everybody loved it right away, and Basho claimed the top level for him! It only took a couple of hours work, plus an extra trip to Lowe's to...

I've just rescued a gorgeous little black kitten from work. S/he's very friendly, and extremely thirsty and hungry. No fleas so far. My best guess is that s/he is 6 weeks old. I don't know whether Joel and/or Shmogg will allow us to have another kitty, and i"m trying to find a home for him/her...

She started acting a little "off" on Saturday. She didn't eat much. I later noticed litter box problems, which is a new thing for as long as I've had her. I thought she might be constipated as she appeared to be straining and what little poop output there was was sometimes outside the litter...

Holly will be 9 years old on June 1. Actually, that's her "official" birthday. I was told when I adopted her (Nov. 25, 1995) that she was born in "early June," and June 1 seems as "early" as possible. She had previously been named Jinx because she was seen as a "bad luck cat" (which enrages me to...

Did anyone else feel the earthquake in Illinois overnight? It happened at 1:10 AM this morning, and was measured at 4.5, preliminary epicenter about 8 miles northwest of Ottawa, Illinois (about 75 miles west of Chicago). This is a fairly large earthquake for this part of the country - we just...

Some of my "cats & music" stories -- what are yours? What specific music does your cat like or dislike? ____________ Years ago my wife & I had a great funny Siamese "Chim-Chim" (RB) who was a classical fan, as most cats are. When we put on any classical music, CC would find a good spot midway...

Frank got his birthday present, a cuddly little piggy, a bit early (he'll be 16 tomorrow). Here is a sequel of him and his new best friend (the slightly demented look in his eyes is due to the catnip I rubbed over the piggy before giving it to him): http://tinyurl.com/wolx And this is his...

Just got a call from Christine. Great progress! This morning she went in to feed the kittens. She called for Buddy, who now comes to his name. He came out from under the dresser and called out number 2 and pounced on him/her, and then called out each of the others and pounced on them one by...
