Posted new pix taken this morning. Her belly looks about to burst, but she's no longer devouring the cat food as if there's no tomorrow. She knows there's a tomorrow. :~) kili http://www.geocities.com/kilikini1/newkitty.html

....that they *didn't* thank at the Oscars? g Congratulations Kiwis! My nomination for Best Line was the lady accepting the award for Foreign Language Film, who expressed her gratitude that "Lord of the Rings" wasn't eligible in that category.

I've mentioned before that Ping loves being in the bedroom with Bam-Bam, Barney & Betty (Betty has her own theme song: Black Betty, by Ram Jam (originally by Leadbelly), listen here (first song at the bottom of...

My heart is breaking. I cannot find Oliver anywhere. We had company this weekend and they had been extremely diligent about making sure that Oliver didn't bolt but he might have snuck out when the luggage was being dragged out. We turned the apartment upside down and are now pretty sure that he...

The pleasure of your company is requested at the new edition of my column (a part of Carol's bimonthly humor ezine): http://www.rainy-day-laughter.com/jaxblog I have archives too! Read 'em! -- ~ JAX ~ proud feline owner of Carol & Nia & 2 dogs

Just do it. It has been two solid weeks now, and you know that is wrong.

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...

Probably poorly stated like the post I made that got me my one spate of hate mail. I'd written about an incident between Rob and our first owner and ended up being accused of cat abuse, neglect, and just about everything else both in the group and in private emails. I was devastated and almost...

There was I, curled up on the sofa, with cat curled up on my lap, doing what any self-respecting cycling fan does at this time of year... I'm ogling the Lycra-clad, pert, muscular, perfectly-toned rear ends of the men on carbon and aluminium as they cycle the latest stage of Le Tour de France....

Okay, I'm in a quandary. When I adopted my neighbor's abandoned, declawed cat, I assumed anyone who'd pay for a declawing would certainly have had the animal neutered. Now I'm not so sure. My new little girl has begun behaving suspiciously like a female cat in heat! Last night she began yowling...

WE GOT SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 It's only about 4 inches here in B-ton, but they are predicting that it will continue to fall (it is still coming down as I type) and accumulation will be anywhere from 16 - 22 inches!!!!!! Snow Men-er...

Well, we're having a couple over for dinner tomorrow night. I'd like it to be very nice since we're just getting to know them and they had us over for an extremely lovely dinner a month ago or so. Of course the dilemma is the dining room table. We'll have appetizers in the kitchen and then it...

One of my little semi-ferals is seeing TED today. She went off her regular food a day or so ago, but was eating beef baby food. Today she wouldn't eat even that. Bush Baby is a little over a year old, and she's no bigger than a 6 month old kitten. This came on really fast, and I'm hoping...

Have been preoccupied, about a week, just skimming rpca. Have even whipped the Evil 3 into a frenzy of nerves here, even porker short furry people that they are, all of us anxiously awaiting word from Denver on imminent arrival of my first barekitten there.....early today - St. Paddy's (and *no...

Our two cats, Edgar and Agatha, have always been picky eaters. They like fish stuff, especially with gravy and cheddar in it. When they first came, two years ago (they're brother and sister, about 4 now) we tried Fancy Feast and quickly discovered that if it was "classsic" (pate), they looked...

Hi All, This message from my friends in the Tampa, Florida area does mention their pets, but it's still OT. The gentleman is my best friend of some thirty years and after he and the lady married, she became best friends with DH independently of the two men. It can be scary to watch Lynda and...

Baggy was trying to wee last night and couldn't, this morning he still hadn't used his box and was very distressed. I took him straight to the vet where he still is, they're going to give him an anaesthetic and catheterise him. I've got to ring them this afternoon to see how he is and when I...

BUT! this one has a happy ending :) I'd been told for 2 years that I didn't qualify for any sort of government assistance because (1) I don't have children and (2) I have an IRA. This didn't make sense to me because single people have to eat, too. I finally found a woman at the Tennessee Dept....

Appreciate all the concern, folks...this is a fairly serious sickness. Got to the vet last night with little trouble, somewhat surprisingly, and received lessons on tube-feeding. Got him home by about 7 pm. He was fairly teetery, but staggered to his favorite coverered litter box, got...
