Ping EvelynVG (Divamanque) Diva's Passing by
dnr
Speaking of "Cio-Cio-San".....Anna Moffo, American
Diva, gone @ age 73..debut 1955 in that role, great
fame from 50's to 70's, when her voice failed for
operatic roles (so the story goes: from "overwork" or
"overbooking"). Did you ever meet or know her?

Tessie's turning into a right hoolikitten! by
Karen AKA Kajikit
I wondered why the volume of growling, hissing and cat-to-cat-contact
had suddenly gone up last week and I realised why - she's irresistably
attracted to movement (especially twitching tails!) And since the
other two cats are used to her they're more relaxed in her presence
and they're not...

any cat friendly fly repellent? by
W. Leong
With the milder weather, I am getting flies in my home. Rusty likes to catch
and
eat them which I doubt is good for him. I want to use some fly repellents
but
wants to make sure it is OK to use around cats.
Any suggestions?

OT My father died by
Bridget
I'm sure there are those of you who remember my father and the sagas of
him and his cat Charlie. Well, they are all over as of about two hours
ago. My father succumbed to a septic infection. I spent the evening
with him as they got him transferred from the ER to ICU. He died
several hours later....

Extra kitty kisses these days by
jmcquown
For some reason Persia is giving me extra kitty kisses lately. This
phenomenon starts with the gentle tap to wake me up; I turn over and gaze
into her big green eyes and hear a delightful rumbling soft purr. I swear
she's smiling :) I reach out to pat her and she does the duck her head then
rub...

Getting my Eyeballs Fixed! (OT) by

I wonder if Persia will look different? LOL
I'm sick of the optometrist not getting my prescription right. I'm sick of
having to reach for glasses before I can stumble to the bathroom in the
middle of the night. A few years ago my parents offered to pay for lasik
surgery for me to have my vision...

Too hot today by
Mark Edwards
I'm lounging around, reading ebooks (Honor Harrington) and newsgroups
(RPCA of course!).
It is unbearably hot because the apartment complex hasn't turned on
the A/C yet. So I've got a big glass full of ice and Diet Coke sitting
within arm's reach, and a gel cold-pak for occasional use to cool...

re graduate nurse joke by

Funny and true!! Sends me back to my childhood...my mum's a nurse, and we
used to love going into the hospital, as we got to go to all the places
'normal' people didn't, and got spoiled by the other nurses. I had both my
children at the same hospital, which was great as I'd known my midwives...

needs to re-home her husband's cat. Smokey is 17 yo and has been with her
DH through thick and thin. My friend moved out here 2.5 years ago to marry
her DH.
My friend has severe asthma. She used to play in the pit for...

And so... by
Singh
It wasn't a heart attack. That much has been confirmed. All the tests
were mind-bogglingly normal. My blood pressure is lower than normal; my
cholesterol is so low the doctor couldn't believe her eyes; there were
none of those nasty little enzymes floating around that could indicate a
heart attack....

Poor Dulce Mae by
David Stevenson
Mark Edwards wrote
This morning I was getting dressed to go run my morning errands. This
involved getting my socks out of the dresser drawer.
Dulce Mae was on top of the dresser, helping me select a pair of
socks, and I was not paying attention.
I closed the drawer on her paw.

Poor Dulce Mae by

A little later, I noticed that she was limping a little bit, which
worried me. Until I caught her walking normally, when she thought I
wasn't watching her. Little minx!
Speedy Joe (RB) once sprained (we think) his foot landing awkwardly and
of course, we made a huge fuss of him.
After that...

I came to lurk and ended up ranting, which was not my intention. Maybe
I should mention the cats. ;-)
RL has buried me in work, but of course that means I get to spend more

NYC's famous couple of red-tailed hawks appear to have eggs in their
