Good news and bad news (not entirely OT) by
Christina Websell
My car, Mr F, has passed his MoT test. This means I have him for another
year. I can't get to the vet without a car so that's the good news.
The bad news is that the 4,500 houses on the fields behind my house are now
going ahead. We've all been fighting it for years, but as usual, the
council...

Shut Up, Buffy! by
jmcquown[_2_]
First time I've encountered this with Buffy. I don't know what got into
her last night. We were asleep. She was on the bed next to me. At
around 1AM she started meowing. I immediately woke up and asked,
"What's wrong, girl?" I gave her some scritches and she settled down again.
No sooner...

Duffy is getting eye medication by
MaryL[_2_]
Isn't this ironic? My little Duffy is blind, but he has developed an
eye allergy that causes drainage. Unlike many blind cats, he has never
had to have his eyes removed or sewn shut. Fortunately, the allergy
does not seem to bother him, but he has a prescription to have two drops
in each eye...

Buffy the Tail-Wagger by
jmcquown[_2_]
Honestly, I've never encountered a cat that routinely wags its tail like
a dog. I'm not talking tail lashing like when a cat is upset, angry or
stalking something. I call her Miss Flippy Tail. :)
I have to say, I really lucked out with this sweet orange stripey girl.
She's so incredibly...

Yesterday with Lennie by
Christina Websell
well we had a three or 4 mile walk and he was glad to get into his bed back
home. His mummy said to me "i will be forever in your debt" I said "don't
be so ridiculous, don't say that." She said that had she known that would
become so disabled she would never had had him. But she did and she...

I Sat on My Cat! by
jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy's fine. :) The weather has been delightful for a few days, temps
in the 70's, windows open. I was on the couch reading and had a light
throw over my legs. Buffy was on the back of the couch looking out the
window. I got up to do something. Little did I know Buffy had decided
to curl...

This is getting silly by
Christina Websell
Boyfriend was asleep on my knee yesterday afternoon when he decided he
wanted to go upstairs to his bedroom, which was fine by me but he came back
downstairs after a few minutes. I thought he'd changed his mind but when I
next visited the bathroom I discovered that he'd pooed in the bath. ...

Scarlett and Bonnie News by
Cheryl[_3_]
Hi guys. Rarely get here lately.
First, Scarlett had a dental today with 2 teeth extracted. She's STILL
out of it from the anesthesia. Not sure how tonight is going to go, and
I'll have to feed everyone separately to keep her away from dry food for
2 weeks. She came to me as a kitten with some...

Buffy's Closet Caper by
jmcquown[_2_]
I have a cousin I haven't seen since I was a little girl. He's about 7
years older than I am and lives on the west coast of the US in the state
of Washington. I haven't seen him since I was about 9 years old but
we've kept in touch. I'm the only one who has kept touch with that
branch of the...

Buffy loves sitting on those cat steps looking out the window.
Especially when I can have the windows open. :)

Ping: Jill - weather by
MaryL[_2_]
Jill, how are things in your area? I saw your earlier messages that
said you have not had flooding, but recent weather reports look bad.
Please let us know how you are. I'm wishing the best for you. Years
ago, we had 13 inches of rain in 12 hours, and the flooding was bad.

Duffy's visit to the vet by
MaryL[_2_]
I took Duffy to see TED for an evaluation on Monday. Everything looks
good except that he needed to have a cyst removed from his shoulder. I
had the cyst examined in January. At that time, I was told to keep an
eye on it and return to the veterinary clinic if it grew in size. It
did grow,...

Looking after Lennie (Ot) by
Christina Websell
It can be difficult. It seems to be up to me. It's not something I wanted
to do when I volunteered to walk him when his usual dog walker broke her
ankle.
I thought I would just walk him occasionally, but it soon became clear that
his mum needed help with his health. It's not something her...
