Tips for cat owners by
eric
Many a time have I wanted to beat the **** out of that furry little
******* that always seems to **** me off. Either by taking a nice warm
**** on my brand new carpet, or decided to use me as a clawing device.
In this small file, I'd like to suggest ways to hurt or **** of the
little ****head that...

I sat outside by
jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy is an indoor cat. She will always be an indoor cat. I saw a 10
foot alligator today which reinforces the idea she doesn't need to be
roaming around outside.
However, it rained practically all year last year, from April through
November. I didn't get to sit outside and enjoy anything. ...

RB Sam by
Cheryl[_6_]
It's a long time since I posted here, although I do lurk a fair bit. I
had two cats, Cinnamon and Sam. Sadly, Sam developed kidney problems,
which progressed very rapidly. He died yesterday at the vet clinic,
where he was having an IV to try to help him out a bit.
He was a lovely cat, very laid...

Took me by surprise! by
jmcquown[_2_]
Persia (RB 2014) used to wake me up in the morning by gently tapping my
nose. It was an endearing gesture that always made me smile.
I adopted Buffy in June, 2015. You can imagine my surprise when she
woke me up by gently touching my nose. Wha-? Hey, have you been
communing with Persia? I...

A Hunter's Guide to the Habitat and Behaviour of the Red Dot by
Jack Campin
I recently got a laser pointer, used for one presentation but mainly
to entertain the furries.
Ollie is the one who really goes for it. My trigger finger gets
tired before he does. I've mainly used it on the bed and the
adjoining linen trunk, cushions and wall. He's all over everything
like a...

I wish I spoke cat! by
Joy[_3_]
There's been a lot of meowing going on lately. I really wish I knew
what it meant. Sometimes it's Pickles, clearly wanting me to do
something, but I don't know what. Sometimes it's Koala, who
occasionally wanders around the house meowing while I'm watching TV in
the evening.

Help with Spirit by
Lesley Madigan
Okay we suspected she and Bonnie have issues- we put a separate box in the kitchen after we spotted Bonnie blocking access to the bathroom boxes and that seemed to work
Spirit goes through phases of liking one place then a week or so later she likes somewhere else. She'll get up to eat and use her...

Nothing to report in Southern Florida by
dgk
WInter is over. It was a sort of wet cool winter. It's my first in
Florida so I don't have much to go on but everyone tells me that it
was a cold winter. Not by my standards but there were a few weeks
where it was too cool to hang out by the pool.
Now we have a week where every day is going to be...

Spicey laptime memory by
Takayuki
Sometimes, Spicey stirs from a dream of a memory, and a memory of a dream
reverberates through the rooms as a small, plaintive cry.
That is when she feels love in her memory, and the memory of her love draws
her into my lap for a cuddle and a purr.
She feels a loss that she didn't know was loss,...

She Bit Me! by
jmcquown[_2_]
It wasn't her fault. Buffy got very upset because there was a raccoon
on the patio and it came right up to the glass door. I didn't see it,
it was already dark outside. She's got very sharp eyes.
She started hissing and growling and then yowling. I thought it might
be a cat. (She truly...

It's Official: Buffy Is an *Only* Cat by
jmcquown[_2_]
Yesterday I was in the "den" on the couch reading a book. Buffy had
been lounging in the living room.
All of a sudden she came bounding into the room, leaped up on the back
of the couch and started YOWLING.
I looked out the window. Uh oh! There was a black cat with white socks
sitting right...

Cats DO change.. by
The New Other Guy
GLyN has never been very interested in human food,
other than an occasional sniff. UNTIL recently.
For about a year, if he's inside when I make a sandwich,
he's been happy to take a slice or 2 of roast beef or
even pastrami. But only 1 or 2, never more. And he's
TOTALLY polite about it, he...

Ping: Jill - weather by
MaryL[_2_]
Jill, how is your weather? There have been reports of nasty weather,
including tornadoes, heading your way. I hope things have started to
settle down by now. I'm thinking of you and Buffy.

Flock of Ibisis by
dgk
I'm not sure what the plural of Ibis is, but the bird itself is a
pretty big (maybe 1 foot) white bird with a long red beak. The big
difference between them and the Egret is that the Ibis travels in big
packs and the Egrets are mostly solo.
Well a big flock of Ibisis walked around my house...

Duffy - update by
MaryL[_2_]
Duffy had his first checkup since I started his medication for
hyperthyroidism. TED says he is in great shape--"remarkable" for his
age. He has gained 6 ounces, which is just what we wanted to see. He
has a good appetite and lots of energy.

Buster's trick by
Takayuki
Buster was standing on his tippy-toes and watching curiously as I was
getting some clothes out out a dresser drawer. Then, he suddenly jumped
right in!
I went to get him out, but he somehow got out of reach and disappeared. I'd
watched enough Maru videos to guess that he'd gotten into the...

Thanks for the Valentine's Card! by

Thank you, Julie & Rusty. What a nice surprise! :)
I told Buffy she got a card in the mail. She blinked at me and went
back to sleep. ;)
Happy belated Valentine's Day to you, too!

Thanks, Jill. Duffy is doing very well! I opted to use a compounded
