I just received the November issue of Catnip magazine (it's edited by the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine). Guess who's on the cover? Luna and Maya, cuddling together in their high-rise bed from when we lived in the condo. The guy who wrote the article posted a message to one of the...

The Golf Ball & The Sand Wedge A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in the bedroom closet. Then the woman's husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the...

Is there a rabies vaccination for cats that lasts longer than a year? I thought there was a 3 or 5 year vaccination. The local vet says no. This is for a feral cat that is really hard to catch on a yearly basis! Thanks!

$5.37! That's what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell said to me. I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two dimes and something that used to be a Jolly Rancher. Having already handed the kid a five-spot, I started to head back out to the truck to grab some change when the kid with...

I am unsure what Magpie wrote, but I called her as soon as I was able to talk without turning into a sobbing heap, well almost timed it right. I turned into one when I hung up. THey pronounced her this morning at 10:45 am. They had finished one of the tests that determined blood flow to...

Luckily this doesn't involve any felines, just hoomins, but I hope you don't mind if I ask for some consolatory purrs for the following: My aunt Felicity died recently aged 78 and leaves 3 children & assorted grandchildren who miss her greatly. My other aunt Olga aged 87 died today, in a kindly...

I did the same thing Bob did. I got ticked off at some rancorous posts and, after over seven years with the Group, I quit. It lasted about 6 - 8 weeks. Like Bob, I checked in again a week or so ago, only to find even more horrendous viciousness going on. I've read every post and I find this...

My lover died of hiv related illness recently. He had a little yorkie named Rooney. On his death bed he made me promise to take care of him after his death. I said of course! After he died, I took Rooney out into the country and dropped him off on the side of the road because I hated that little...

In brief, over the weekend, Cleo had to go to the Emergency vet because I thought she was having a fit, but it seems that my quiet, unassuming girl had an abscess in her mouth which burst. It must have been agony for her. I was in the study when I heard a scream of pain from a cat. When I rushed...

It has just been reported that Steve Irwin died today whilst filming off the northern coast of Australia. He was stung in the heart by a stingray. Paramedics could not save him. http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200609/s1732439.htm Text of the news article: The naturalist and television star...

Yes, there is a cat related thing in here somewhere :) My father is hell-bent on buying my brother Scott's house for me, whether I like the house or not. So I asked Scott, can I come over and take some photos? He said sure, how about Tuesday, July 4th? Okey doke. Ostensibly this is so I can...

I bid, won and received my Purr Pad from a fellow seller on eBay and the cats love it!! You can take a look at it on Kitty-Cam (http://www.kittycam.net/). It's filled with cat nip and also included a little kitty pillow and ball with catnip. Great seller, and I'm probably going to buy more! Kris

I just talked to the vet's office and they said Sammy was just fine, she's awake and came through like a trooper. When I asked, they said they "discouraged" mommies from coming to visit since it makes the kitty think she's going home and stresses her more when she can't - but they'll allow a visit...

I sometimes wonder about cats. Some peoples cats hate vacuums but will play with the broom if you decide to sweep something up. My pair almost never hear the vacuum as I hate the sound almost as much as most cats. Indeed when I was a teenager my mother could drive me out of the house just by...

As I'm at the other end of the world the only thing I can do is forward news about Katrina's victims I get on groups or lists to other groups and lists. Hope you don't mind. Please feel free to cross post. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pets & Animals in Distress"...
