Some of you may recall I was having serious troubles with a certain boss over an allegation that could have led to disciplinary action back in December/January. Nothing more has been said on the matter until today when I am handed a letter telling me the hearing will go ahead on the 29th of March....

My youngest (Koda) has been breaking her whiskers or something. I got her when she was 10 weeks old and now she is about 7 months old. About 2 weeks after we got her, her whiskers started to "break". They break, then they all grow back and are there for a few days and then they go missing again...

I want to thank Yowie for her nice comments about N.Z - for my part I am addicted to Aus. as well as N.Z. The two countries share a lot together - Russell Crowe, rofl. I have a bit of news myself and I think it is a spin off from LOTR. Peter Jackson,(Producer of LOTR) plus the N.Z. Government...

I am so absolutely appalled that someone who has injured themselves, perhaps very severely dare not call an ambulance to go to hospital, not only because of the cost of the ambulance, but the cost of the emergency treatment because he is out of work and has hit hard times. This would never...

In a cleaning frenzy this stormy afternoon, we blasted not our usual housecleaning "house" or "techno" music, but I reached deep into my hard drive and played old purloined (yes! a tune pirate!) Napster goodies at top volume.....all 3 of the short furry dictators fled under the beds upon Robert...

His friend Larry is taking him for a colonoscopy at 9:30 in the morning. He was not allowed to eat for 24 hours. John suffers from and has been hospitalized twice for diverticulitus and we hope he doesn't have to have surgery to cut out part of his intestine. I need some purrs for his scope to...

Saw this in Dear Abby today: http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/?uc_full_date=20050507 DEAR ABBY: I am heartsick as I write this. I have just lost the closest thing in this world to me outside my immediate family. I just buried my sweetie-pie Sandy, an Amazon parrot I have had for 26 years. That's...

I missed a couple days and am trying to catch up (nearly impossible with this group) but we've been purring for those in need. So now I need to request purrs for my sister, Teri, and one of her cats, Sam. Sam is having a head x-ray and surgery to remove a lump on/in his neck tomorrow (Tuesday...

I'm glad I didn't take the vet's advice about sending her to RB just yet. She continues to drink her rehydration fluid in preference to plain water - she has a choice. It has made a real difference to her, so thank you to those who suggested it. She is eating as well as a CRF kitty can. Turkey...

Dear friends, Last Friday, our beloved Siamese girl Thalia was 17. If you look at pics 6 and 7 at http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=viewall&albumID=75033662. you might think that she is much younger :^)) The day before her birthday, Thalia spent the day with her vet...

Kate posted this on Catslaves. We are sending many purrs for Meg to recover soon and completely. Kate_Dunn wrote: I have been unable to post to r.p.c.a. through google today, so please could someone pass on my request to the group. I will try to login via my ISPs news server...

My DW gives me so much entertainment it ought to be illegal. Some of you may recall I got her a horse for her birthday, almost exactly the color of the Budweiser Beer horses, but smaller. Patty gets a big kick out of riding him, because he is a professionally trained Tennessee Walker and has a...

It used to be so busy here. I guess all the cats have their own FaceBook pages now. I wouldn't know, I'm not on any of that Social Media crap. Yes I'm old. :p Smokey still loves her baths BTW; she cries until she gets her baf. I'm lucky if I get away with two 'baths' a day. We have developed quite...

I stole this from one of my other groups. I thought it might be fun... http://www.blogthings.com/hownormalareyouquiz/ The bigger question is - How normal are your cats? I think Peewee is about 90% normal for a Siamese - but he isn't a Siamese. ;) And Mimi is 90% normal for the Tortie that...

Cats just love to sit in boxes. Feline behaviorists aren't sure why, but they know it's true. The next time you get something by mail order, put the box on the floor for a few days and let your cat leap in and out. You'll be amazed at how much she'll enjoy a simple cardboard box. Even ordinary...

Second-best commercial ever! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7vXP3tHzhA Joyce -- The problem with cats is that they get the exact same look on their face whether they see a moth or an axe-murderer. -- Paula Poundstone

Hello Everyone, I'm new here, thought I'd give it a try - need some cheering up, as much as the cats excell at this, some human comfort would be welcome too. I am crazy about cats, all have been rescues, I can not fault them - the only time I'm unhappy with them is when they fall sick. So, at most...
