Is she still on vacation? Need to ask her about something before she hies off to Australia! Jill

They're painting our windowframes and doors so they took the miniblind off the little window in our door and unscrewed the hangers. The fittings were left on our coffee table, and Silver just noticed them. She jumped up onto the table, sniffed at the fittings, took one in her mouth and ran away...

Cinders has always been one of the most talkative cats I have known. This morning, however, as I was shaving in the bathroom, her sounds changed from meows to increasing-frantic howling. I couldn't figure out at first what was wrong. Then I realized that she had been standing on her hind legs for...

Pippin's vet called last night. His kidneys are fine! The higher protein was actually in proper proportion to everything else. Yay! Thanks for the purrs everyone. -Caroline S.

....re pneumonia: I'm doing much better. Thank you for all the purrs. I'm not having too much problem with coughing any more. I still cough a lot, but it's productive, so it's not the constant hacking that was so painful. I still have an astonishingly sore throat but that is so minor...

This morning we woke to an open refrigerator full of room-temperature food. Lots of stuff had to go in the garbage. I still can't figure out how the cats manage to open the fridge, but they did. Bad kitties! -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he...

Deer brofurs and sisfurs, The hoomin here is outta control! I was just playing with Miranda. She was a bit grumpy, so I fought I'd tease her a bit so she'd snap out of it. She can be a bit stuck-up sometimes. So, I jumped her and bit her neck. It felt sort of funny, but nice, so I did it again....

For the last few weeks I have been off line as I havehad computer problems and finally took the infernal machine to the local guru for servicing (a second costly time). "Ah," he cried, "windows was corrupted. I installed it again." Great, but in the process I have lost all my data, addy...

I'm finally back home after spending over a week on the road. There are over 1300 posts, so it will take me a while to catch up. Purrs on the way for those who need them. Victor -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he

A friend of my mother's is getting a new puppy, so my mother decided to give her a puppy shower. She is looking for a game to play at the shower. She says, "I like those games where people have questions they have to answer and then read them out loud. They always cause a laugh." Does anybody...

How is our favourite Finn today? *hugs* helen s

I heard turkey and, knowing Simon was outside, grabbed the camera. Turkeys are real sensitive to movement and although I stopped at the door my next move sent them deeper in the woods. Simon, however, was *very* interested and trotted after them: (Simon is just to the right of the tree in...

Karen responded to Frank going to TED again: Oh dear I wish they would stay young forever Sugar is going back in a few minutes too. Purrs to Frank and his poor meowmie. Hobbes, Selena, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus are sending purrs and gentle headbutts that Sugar begins feeling better quickly...

You know those cartoons where critters have spiral wire springs on their feet, and they go "Sproing!" These kittens don't need the springs. I'm letting them out once in awhile to play, and they are the sproingiest little things I've ever seen! sproing! sproing! sproing! Ginger-lyn

I had to take Frank to TED's again, because he has had a runny tummy all weekend, and he's been vomiting. He's mere skin and bones these days. I'll post an update when I know more. -- Marina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Nikki. marina (dot) kurten (at) iki (dot) fi Pics at...

When I went grocery shopping, I bought a large bag of chicken leg quarters. The next day I got the bag out and washed the chicken and pulled off the large globs of fat and separated the quarters into individual pieces. But as soon as I cut the bag open Sheba appeared and started nagging! She must...

Last night I was taken my shower and Harvey had assumed his customary positon of supervision by sliding open the shower door a bit and sitting on the edge and yowling at me that I was not doing it right. I was talking to him as I got out of the shower telling him that meowmie dosen't bath like he...

I was wondering how Jean Hobbs was getting on after her heart surgery, I haven't seen any updates for a few weeks. I hope by now she's back home and feeling better. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) A House is not a home, without a cat. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk

Literally. At 3:45PM Central Time the power went out to the entire neighborhood. (Huge sigh.) I called the electric company automated reporting system and hear there is a "fuse outage"; a crew has been dispatched. Meanwhile, it got up to 90F today. In a couple of hours the apartment was...
