I have seen references in the past to a toy I FINALLY located! The battery operated ball with attached fur squirrel/raccoon/whatever. I'm having a little difficulty with the on/off switch - either it won't stay on or (once in action) doesn't want to switch off again - but Melisande LOVES it! And...

Purrs once again for all in the state of Florida. This morning's forecast path for Hurricane Ivan (currently a stronger storm than either Charley or Frances) has the state in the center of a south-to-north track. They're already doing mandantory evacuations in the Florida Keys. Purrs also to...

I made a tuna/asparagus/cheese pie topped with mashed potato today for my dinner tonight. Kitty sat on the arm of my chair begrudging me every mouthful. I told her to go and eat the food she'd already got in her bowl and didn't give her any. Now I feel guilty. I would never allow my dogs to beg...

What Helen said. I too have had to take my child to work and have had many compliments on his behavior. Hazel Az "wafflyDIRTYcatLITTERhcsBOX" wrote in message ... Assuming its a once-off, one could argue that it was...

This post contains some parts that are sad to read, but mostly this is about an ongoing issue (ie, disagreement) I have with a friend and her irresponsibility with her dog. This friend of mine has had her dog for about 7 years. He's a wonderful dog and I'm pretty attached to him. My issue is with...

We need purrs. My daughter called last night and she had fainted at work, this is the second time in about 2 months. So this time they found an abnormal EKG so they admitted her. She normally has an inverted T-wave just like I do, which is usually not a big deal, except this time it was different....

Could I get a personal purr or two? I'm soooo frustrated! I stupidly attempted to install a demo program yesterday that ate my hard drive...well at least most of it. The good news is I had a back up and I was preparing to move from an older computer to a new one (office system). I'm frustrated...

I have a stray cat quarantined here tonight. Long story, but the kitty has some obvious health issues and is quite thin. She has an appointment with TED tomorrow to evaluate just what is going on with her. She is a longhaired tuxedo girl and is a very sweet, affectionate cat. Unfortunately, I...

Dangit, I just checked, it wasn't Lewe. It's not Marina. And I think it's Hans but he's relatively new... Wasn't there *somebody* that lived in Norway around here??? Grace baffled and sleep deprived

I consider Gizmo to be fairly well domesticated, that was until last night. We were watching TV together (yes, she watches TV then talks to me in the ads) when she wanted to play, so I started tickling her.....all was good for a while until she bit me and started swiping me and hissing. I hadn't...

For those of you who are interested, There are lots more pics of the Yowlet at my Yahoo page. Either go to http://photos.yahoo.com/yowie9644 and click on the CaryJames...

Things never go the way one expects them to go. Today was the day I opened the door to Koala's room. It was open for several hours. During that time, Pickles twice stuck her head in the doorway and meowed. Koala stayed in his hidey-hole. It's a good thing that's all that happened, because I...

Pit2nya will be going in to Radio-Cats on Monday for radioactive iodine treatment for her hyperthyroid. We'll be driving her back home on Thursday. She will not be allowed in our bedroom for 2 weeks, but we can pet her, albeit wash our hands more. At least no 2 x per day pilling, a permanent...

I posted a photo of kitten No. 6 in Annie's photos in . I'm sure this one is a little girl. She looks like a shorthair to me. I'm wondering if my DD is confusing kitten fuzz with a longhair. Maybe the other kittens are not longhair after all? What do you think? Will they...

I had possums and Mom coon and babies up last nite eating at the feral food bowl...smelled Mr. Peppy La Phew...but thankfully he didn't join in the feast!:-) Liz "Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Well, I've gotten used...

Yoda is at the vets right now having his eye sewn shut. They're going to medicate the eye, pull the third eyelid over the eye, and then the outer lid, and leave it that way for 2 weeks to heal. On one hand I'm really encouraged that someone seems to actually know what to do. We have been...

I was telling my co-workers about the precious persian this morning and how I felt it was somehow fateful when I saw her when my supervisor walked in and said "My mom's 17 y.o. siamese died". I mentioned about this cat but not suggesting she tell her mom about it or anything (you know, it...

One of the first places that Harri and I visited when we first got her to California was a furniture company in Marysville. We ended up sitting there (unnecessarily, it turns out) for half the day, and did a nice, long kitten walk. We didn't cover much territiry, just the trailer parking area and...
