When I adopted Buffy on June 2nd the caretaker said she'd eat "just about anything". She was feeding her dry food from a bin in the pantry and a 9 Lives canned food. Buffy is only the 2nd cat I've ever had. Persia had to eat prescription food for most of her years. I had to dole it out when...

Bucky was found a couple miles down the road, by a young man who took the time to check the tags on his collar. Bucky's body was on the side of a very busy road. We brought him home and had a very sad burial ceremony. Bucky was only three years old, and came to us as a very feral kitten, who...

This morning, I noticed Ebony, one of the sweet outdoor cats playing with something in the yard. I went out and he had some sort of rodent (I'm not a rodent expert) that he was batting around that wasn't dead. My natural instinct was to get him away from it so I grabbed him and tossed him into a...

Today I found a dead bullsnake in the garage. Maybe about a teenager- sized one. I don't get too close to it because I feel bad enough and just don't want a closeup view. Since this is definitely a man-job, I call DH to dispose of it, while I watched from the door. I said, "Can you tell what it...

I've had my dark calico / light tortoiseshell Thalia for about 5 2/3 years; they thought she was 8 - 10 when she wandered into my life. A microchip scan at the time had come up negative. The last three years we were fighting kidney disease and frequent bladder infections. Most of this year...

Rob is in the process of recovering from that horrid stomach flu that has been going around. This means that for more than 24 hours he has been projectile vomiting. Early this morning (about 5 am) he projectile vomited on his storage bin that we keep his t-shirts in. There was a towel on the...

Dave's dad passed away at 6.15 this morning Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs

I am truly saddened to tell you that Lee called and said Tiger was helped to leave for the Bridge after five this evening. The vet said he would most certainly leave in the night but, that the leaving on his own would be painful. The smoke from the fire, his being on his own for a night and...

The little stinky stray has been captured! He/she's currently still in the humane trap (in my garage now..), on a pile of newspapers and with some food in the trap, and I've covered him/her with a sheet. So he/she's in the quiet and in the dark to give chance to *calm* a bit. Plus he/she's out...

Cleo's mouth is still giving her problems, even after three courses of antibiotics. She went back to the vet today for another detailed exam, and the vet's pronouncement is that she has a very fast-growing tumor on her jaw. It wasn't there when she had her dental, but now is making her very...

It's been so quiet this afternoon. What, do you all have jobs or something? :) Joyce

Last night I had a very good friend over to visit. We were doing bead jewelry together. We've been close friends for about 12 years. Anyway, at some point during the evening, Roxy came by for a cuddle. So I let her hang over my shoulder and purr, while I cooed and petted her. And suddenly the...

Less than 2 days now until my surgery and I'm getting a bit nervous! What I'm having done is an "anterior cervical discectomy with fusion at C6 and C7". What this involves is: cutting a two inch incision in the front of my neck, and a little to the left so as to miss the laryngeal nerve...

Ours is a little cooler than I expected: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvl4G8RQj9I It's at least partially on-topic - Ranger is on part of the clip.

This is bedtime story as told to me by Betty. I don't know whether it's based on fact or is fictional. When I was just a little kitten, my meowmie picked me. She looked at all my brothers and sisters and said that I was the best behaved. I wouldn't tire her out or bite or scratch. She picked...

The BBC has an online article about the farm in Alaska which injects dye into chicken eggs so that when the eggs hatch, the chicks come out in various colours, such as green, pink, blue and the like. The article is at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3615191.stm The bit I find hilarious...
