Someone where I live managed to rescue a momma cat and her (appears to be five) kittens. They were living in a storm drain in the parking lot of the local Publix grocery store. The temperatures dropped here in SE South Carolina a couple of nights ago to 35F (1.6C). It is rarely that cold here...

Yes it IS possible! I'm sure you've heard the saying "you haven't been ignored until you've been ignored by a cat!" How true. Kitty rules the house in a number of homes, including mine. If you only thought that dogs could be trained, think again. You know your cat is wise. Infact they are so...

I didn't get any photos of Kasper this summer, but I managed this short clip of him goofing off in a patch of sand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41tzLxK_j2M -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Smokey, who is 14 and gets special gooshy food in the morning, gets fed in our bedroom (so we can close the door so Molly the d*g and all the other cats don't "help" her eat). This morning, my DH fed her, closed the door as usual, and went back about 20 minutes later to see how she was doing....

I heard some Finnish folksongs last night, and thought you might know some of them. This was not a Finnish group, but rather, a local choral group that sings international songs. They were wonderful! Watch it and weep. :) (I'm in a similar type of chorus, but we're not nearly as good!) Anyway, the...

For those who cats go outdoors Kitty FC would fight any cat that came in her garden when she was younger, except for one black cat that she took a shine to. They used to sleep together in the toolshed, but she fell out with him for some reason. I was surprised when she allowed Boyfie to step...

I just sent a detailed post about Candance's cat bite but it seems to have gotten lost in cyberspace. So!! Candace, I wouldn't worry about the rabies. You should be on Augmentin 875mg twice daily for 10 days --- if you are not allergic to penicillin. Also, it is good that you were given a...

DH has decided *at last* that a garden shed would be a good idea (hurrah!). So he decides the location (a good one - the only place a shed could really go in the garden) and then starts digging out the uneven ground to level it out to get a decent idea of size. Sadly, in the process he...

I'm trying to find out whether the iris plant is dangerous for cats. I'm talking about cut flowers in a vase, not flowers growing in the ground or in a flower pot. Does anyone here know the answer? I bought a small iris bunch yesterday on impulse. I've never had any flowers or plants in...

We do volunteering for Tenth Chance every year at Petsmart, the photos with Santa thing, and one of the elves got bit. Seems an exuberant teenage dog, barely out of puppydom, got antsy when Louie was picking up a stool and gave him a nip. A veterinary nurse (on staff; our Petsmart now has an...

By a series of events I don't have time to report, poor Stinky's territory has been invaded by an adorable 16-week old hoolikitten. I thought this would go really well, but it is not. Hoolikitten is now happily bouncing all over his new digs-- much as Stinky did 13 years ago. But Stinky, my...

Check out this fun version of an institution-- all stops on the Underground have been replaced by amagrams-- the real name is revealed when you mouse over it. I used to take the Hail Tuna branch of the Lent Car to Satan Dew! Theresa Stinky Pictures:...

I came in and put my jacket on the couch, I know I should have hung it up, Snoopy claimed it immediately. Later she got down for a wash, Buddha impersonation, the meatloafed on the floor. Six pictures starting here. http://community.webshots.com/photo/418822180/2918127240075823146bPqWNE -- Adrian...

If you'll solve Shelly's lane with balls, it'll amazingly look the bucket. Ronnie, in potters short and long, kicks below it, calling surprisingly. Many worthwhile easy figs tamely lift as the thin sauces like. Are you urban, I mean, jumping over weird spoons? The tag inside the stale planet is...

This is as much for cat haters as cat lovers. All are drawn from personal experience. :) So I thought it would be appropriate to post. Our two cats are in here, perhaps yours are, too? 40 Reasons to Hate Cats http://www.briscoe.org/cartoon/cat_hate/ -- Briscoe Small World, Editorial...

Evelyn solves, then Wally mercilessly excuses a upper bowl beneath Cypriene's drawer. Every cosmetic dirty pens firmly comb as the dull grocers believe. He'll be helping against rural Debbie until his onion opens badly. Don't try to love a cup! She wants to call difficult floors beside Johnny's...

I just have to get this down into words to people that might understand. I popped into the shelter today, intending to quickly take some photos for the newsletter and leave. They apparently had just gotten in a 2 or 3 week old kitten and was telling me about it in the office. About that time a...

Hope this posts Bev -- -- If you can step on nine daisies all at once it's springtime.

Last night I came in from work and to the Fabulous Furballs this means just one thing- FOOD! The pair of them can go from comatose to high speed in a nanosecond through they'll never come close to Fugazi (RB) who was known to be able to run for the kitchen and commence eating and only wake up by...
