Yes, there is a cat related thing in here somewhere :) My father is hell-bent on buying my brother Scott's house for me, whether I like the house or not. So I asked Scott, can I come over and take some photos? He said sure, how about Tuesday, July 4th? Okey doke. Ostensibly this is so I can...

Poor Mosey, IDK what's wrong with him. I haven't seen any signs of his pooping 'anywhere' for 2 days now, I've been feeding him beefy babyfood, with his regular favorite canned food, and he's been throwing up his dry food., but tonite he didn't want any of the canned either :( He seem...

I have just brought home a blue tick hound that someone dumped a week ago at the rest area. The kids that work there are, retarded for the most part. By the time I got there, the dog was so hyper. I got her to the TED and she is not chipped. He was too busy to mess with her today so wouldn't...

It seems that one week after receiving $85 *BILLION* dollars of bail-out money from our tax dollars, the senior executives at AIG took a week-long company-paid vacation at an exclusive resort in CA to the tune of half a million bucks! Here's the story:...

I am full of Christmas joy tonight. My neighbors moved and abandoned the sweetest little tortie girl and I was able to lure her into my garage tonight. She has been going from neighbor to neighbor for handouts, but no one offered this darling a permanent home. There is snow on the ground and...

I don't know what to do about it. He drives me mad when I am at home. I feed him and two hours later he claims he needs another meal. He doesn't of course. It's the weekend and he won't leave me alone, he is purring around my feet insisting he is starving all the time. He is not starving. I...

Last week, I pulled / bruised a muscle in my back. It has radiated across my shoulder and around to my rib muscles. It is practically impossible to sleep, although I manage after lying on my back long enough. I am not a back sleeper, and it still hurts... This is why I'm posting at 230...

I just got back inside from burying my old friend of 15 plus years. His name was Phantom; my grouchy Old man. I buried him next to Spirit. I wrapped him in some towels and a nice box. I decorate the grave in red tone chipped bricks. Last night after I asked for the purrs. Phantom became...

Although nothing will ever replace real books for me, it seems to me that an e-reader would be the best bet for traveling, as opposed to taking a large number of books along. Since my kids are taking me to Australia in October, I'm seriously considering getting an e-reader. So far I'm leaning...

Hi the I caught poor kitty this afternoon. He'd had two cans of cat food in rapid succession and I put the trap by the hole under my porch where I'd been feeding him. He went for the tuna and the trap snapped shut. He was cold and desperate I think. Moved quite slowly the last time I...

I just got home and found what looks like a puddle of blood on the kitchen floor, there are solids in it, like if someone barfed it. None of the cats look ill, but somebody did this and I can't tell who!!! Any ideas how to figure this out without dragging all 7 cats to the emergency vet? --...

My Lacey-Bug has a such a bad head cold and she is so miserable. She can't breath through her nose and today she began making a little puffhh noise as she breathed out through her mouth. It sounded like she was pushing her breath out of her lungs and she'd begun to drool. So of course I...

Here in southern California we've had to deal with a rash of brush fires over the last year. The latest one erupted last night, southwest of the city of Cabazon. Now, less than 24 hours later, it has grown to more than 10000 acres. We have very high sustained winds whipping and driving the...

Considering she's now an old lady cat, complete with one eye missing, a slightly skewed jaw, several fangs missing and a metal rod down one femur, she never fails to amaze me. It's cold out today, so the cats have been hogging the heat indoors, but Waffles lets me know when she wants to go out...

While I have been hanging around the cat groups almost since they were created I tend to be pretty quiet so few of you know me. Some of you I have seen posting since before the split and some of you are "newer" than that. Quite a few of you have given me a good laugh at times or touched me...

We were outside last night until about 11 p.m. and when we finished what we were doing and went into the house we found blood - 3" diameter circle of blood in the living room and a second slightly smaller circle of blood in the bedroom and of course spots of blood in various places in...

My beautiful, sweet, lovable Smokey passed away Friday. He was not feeling well Thursday evening so we were going to take him to the vet Friday when they opened at 3PM. As I have written in the past Smokey was diagnosed with Feline Hepatic Lipidosis. Thursday morning he seemed fine. Wednesday...

Last night Vino was out in the back yard when I heard cat-fight sounds. I ran out and brought him inside, no signs of the intruder. Vino kept hissing at me whenever I picked him up, very strange for him. I checked all over his back for injuries but found none. This morning he still hissed when I...

When i discovered this group an d got to know all the good people here,, I hoped it would be a long time before i needed to come to you wiuth the grievous news that one of our little ones has left us. A long, LONG time. Not so. Our dear Dolly, our Odessa went into sudden respiratory failure...
