And then we were 5... by
Helen Miles
Talking to my folks over the holiday, it seems that things could change
radically this year for my dad. He may be asked to leave Washington DC
earlier than he origionally thought (which was Oct 2006) so that his job
skills can be used back in Europe by his employer. He is no longer
planning to...

Abelard's Story by
Pat
RPCA folks first met Abelard July 10, 2003 with my first post to the group.
At that time he was already a year old and I've never posted about how he
came to live with me in the first place. So here is that story.
It started with a lawnmower. I needed one, but I hate the kind that make
noise and...

Something is very wrong by

Rocky is not fluffy. He's a 20 pound, small frame tabby and TED says diet or

Soooo, open feeding is thing of the past. His dinner gets put up when my
Lovely Bride and I leave for work (we're not dumb as stumps, we want to get
some sleep). This was Day One of the ordeal and LB called me about...

Purrs for evacuees by
Dan M
There's a big fire burning in the Orange County, California hills. It's
not threatening us here in Highland; the only effect it's had has been
closing the toll road I take home and making me take a long detour.
However, there is a mandatory evacuation order in effect for 1500
families. The good...

Pics: new catbed, playing in the enclosure by
Marina
Since the ringworm test was clean last month, I brought home the catbed
my niece gave me for Yule. I put it in the sauna, since that's where
Miranda has mostly been sleeping lately. Caliban was the first to try it
out.

Fanglets by

Lily is growing up. :o)
I found a baby canine fanglet on the carpet this morning. So, I had a
look in Lilys mouth and it seems that her adult teeth are coming
through. My little girl is growing up! She's also getting spayed in 2
weeks time. They are babies for such a short period of time. I...

Job purrs again by
Lesley
Well so far I've asked for purrs a good few times and no new job has
materialised
Perhaps for a reason as there's one place I really want to work at and
I now have an interview (2 weeks today and I am already a nervous
wreck!) so can those purrs be spared please?

One VERY lucky kitty! by
Gabey8
http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/01/04/turnpike.cat.ap/
Cherry Hill, NJ is near where I live, so this particular kitty's story was
on our local news. He's a pretty little furball who survived a 70-mile
ride clinging to the underside of an SUV. (The driver had no idea her
feline passenger was there,...

The Call by

They rang from the vet's office today. They have Frank's ashes for me to
pick up.
I'm taking the kittens in for a ringworm test next week, so will pick up
the ashes at the same time. Next summer, I will scatter them under the
same wild rosebush as...

Fireworks Ban [Partly OT] by
CatNipped
Some of you may have heard that we're having problems with brush fires here
in Texas. The governor has likened the state to a "tinder box" because it
has been so dry for so long. They speculate that the cause of the brush
fires are people ignoring the burn ban.
Because of this aerial fireworks...

My Grumpy Old Girl by
CatNipped
Bandit, at sixteen, is meaner than ever if not as agile. She comes into my
office, but can't quite manage a leap onto my lap. If I reach down to lift
her up she growls, hisses and tries to bite my hand before she settles down
in my lap to start purring.
However, if I don't reach down and get her...

Recent photos of the Highland Kitties by

I just put some recent photos of the Highland kitties up at
http://catfolks.net/20051231/
I haven't taken the time to build a nice interface page, but I'll see
about doing so later. The CaliCat show is one of our neighborhood strays
that comes to our place for food.

Happy New Year for all of you all over the world! May 2006 be a better

We just returned from spending a great vacation in Mexico, Tom's first

A Needy Siamese Cat by
Jo Firey
Siamese cats are not by nature a needy animal. They are aloof. Masters of
all they survey. They may permit scritches if it makes us happy and they
may even share the occasional purr. Physical closeness is also permitted
and everyone knows shared body heat is a good thing.
And of course an...

What to do when you find a lost kitty? by
Karen AKA Kajikit
I just went downstairs to bring in the laundry and I saw a lady taking
a shortcut through the complex - with a very small black shape
following behind. She was ignoring it so it obviously wasn't her kitty
and I've never seen it before in my life. I took a few steps towards
it and said 'here puss'...
