Just a heads up: my niece seems to have posted a lot of new pics of the kittens at 4-6 weeks old. Raging kitten fever! http://mia.daug.net/kitten2.php -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki

B*gg*r. Just spent the day at horse spittal. Vernon has snapped his achilles tendon in his left foot and done some sort of strain of his right foot. He is now at home with a temporary cast on his left foot and using a 'zimmer frame' to walk. Currently he is on the sofa with his feet *up* having...

The bikini wax thread got me thinking about how many "habits" I acquired growing up that are shared by younger women... Besides shaving, waxing, or plucking any hair not aesthetically required (by my generation), I also *ALWAYS* paint my toenails. Even when I don't have my fingernails painted...

I thought I'd got myself some new clothes by mail order, but apparently all I had got was a pile of bedding for Laku. http://tinyurl.com/yswvp There must be something about new clothes that tickles his fancy, or maybe he just wants to give them a homier smell... :) -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland

&)*()(*)#$%@#$*$ homeowners association!!!! We received a registered letter today from a lawyer informing us that we are in violation of deed restrictions by having a (beautiful) 8 foot high wooden fence (that we've had for over a year and have heard not one peep from the HOA about before the...

Yesterday my old cat Patches http://www.mary.cc/patches/ was sitting next to my feet in my home office. I decided to let my midget skunk in the house to run around. I'm training him to be an educational animal for my wildlife rescue group. Here's a pic of him and Patches. He's grown a little since...

Today Eli was laying next to me on the floor when Lily started looking in the cat flap (to make sure Eli not around) so she could come in and have a bite to eat. Eli *always* attacks her. So I hid Eli from her long enough to get them both inside at once, so I could have a talk with them about...

Most delicious thing I've come across in a long time: Slice haloumi cheese approx 5 mm thick (half a pencil width thick... I don't have my metric to imperial convertor)), and pan fry in a light oil. Once its golden brown on both sides, remove from pan and sprinkle with lime (or lemon) juice,...

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...

For the upteempth time I muttered to myself "God, I hate Christmas". I smiled through clenched teeth and sayed a perfunctory "thanks anyway" after the person behind the post office counter - that I had queued up at for a good 20 minutes - informed me matter of factly that they were out of Christmas...

For quite some time now my server has not been collecting all posts on rpca, although it was kind enough to tell me so. It would say at the bottom of the screen "xxx posts unread, xxxx not downloaded." The undownloaded posts increased and increased in number. I fiddled around with the settings...

Okay, so this is a cat that I noticed on my property 10 years ago. I thought she belonged to a neighbour, but I became aware that they moved away without her, so I fed her, and when all my d*gs had gone to RB, she announced she would live in the house. I agreed. But she is so, well, *fierce* I...

Someone from another ng. has told me I have a broken signature i.e. :- "BTW, please put a space after the two dashes in your signature line - it's "broken"." I know there are a lot of clued up people in our group so thought I would ask exactly what is the correct procedure for posting...

I found a little clip of an Abyssinian momma cat and her two babies. Very cute! If you want to watch go to http://www.miu-nefer.nl/english/home.html click on Photos then click on the one that says "movie". It's 5.12MB and runs for two minutes. The momma cat looks a lot like Abelard!

My sister's cat Tiger had a heart attack last night and had to be put to sleep. She was an older cat, in her teens. Several years ago a lady in her Sweet Adelines choir had to move and she took in the ladies cat Tiger. I think tiger was around 8 then. She's had her at least 5 years. Last night...

A hawk discovered a squirrel nest in one of our trees today. The squirrel mom started moving her young to another location, but one of the babies fell from the nest and onto my car. I found it on the windwhield. He's tiny, no fur at all and the eyes are still closed. We put it in a towel on the...

This may have been addressed here before, but how do people who are wheelchair-bound feed and clean out the litter tray. My brother is recently in that state, and can't reach down to the floor anymore to do it. I have to go over there and do it for him. Has anyone been successful in putting them...

Hello friends near and far and a special hello to my adopted Mama, Nikki, in Findland. Forgive me for not sending in a story by the September 1st deadline but, you see, something horrible has happened. My home has been infested with red dot greeblings. Some of you may know these elusive,...

The sun came out! http://i62.tinypic.com/zydgfd.jpg Buffy loves sitting on those cat steps looking out the window. Especially when I can have the windows open. :) Jill
