I was running errands and decided to stop at the humane society and formalize our adoption of the boys. They were checking in a momma cat with 3 (or 4?) kittens, about 3 weeks old. Somebody dumped them at the pound, where they would've been euthanized, but the folks at the SPCA go there twice a...

Since I've reached the stage in life where I've been reading the obits to see if I'm on the list yet, in reading them this morning I found one a bit unusual. A beloved lady had passed on and, of course, there was a list of survivors - - husband, son, step-sisters and -brother, beloved friends - ...

In another thread, I promised (or threatened, depending on your point of view) to tell the story of how my relatively new kitten Minnie changed my mind about not really wanting a pet - so, here goes... Why didn't I want another pet at the time? About fifteen years ago, I had a cat named Goldie, a...

To whoever posted about the new Sheba, I thought you'd be interested. I got a sample can in the mail today and my cats loved it. It doesn't look anything like the old Sheba and indeed is in a metal can the size of a Fancy Feast can. I guess I have another food I can add to what they will eat....

She started sneezing a few days ago, I didn't think anything of it at first but now there is green gunk coming down one nostril. She hasn't eaten this evening and is hugging the fire. I guess she can't smell her food and feels poorly. She has CRF and cannot afford to not eat. She has never...

Anyone out there have a Roku? I apologize if this is US-centric, I don't know if Roku is sold outside this country. I just bought one, and last night I set it up. It's the low-end one for regular, non-HD TV. Before I made the purchase, I checked the FAQ on their site to make sure I would be able...

Well, yes of course I am. But some days there is just so much provocation. Junk email is bad enough. I figure TV advertising is the price I pay for the programming on TV, and at least junk mail costs the sender something and helps to support the post office. But junk email is just too...

Orion had to be PTS. About a year and a half ago he was diagnosed with vaccination-associated sarcoma cancer. He received chemo, which slowed down the progression but unfortunately it continued to spread. The last year he seemed largely unaffected (except for the appearance of a large lump on his...

They want to infiltrate each home and if we don´t stop them,they will be the dominant species on this planet. We will be their slaves ! We already are the slaves of our cats ! Cats are evil !

See if you can get out of the Crimson Room (or is it the rubber room, lol) I am still trying! http://www.fasco-csc.com/works/crimson/crimson_e.php -- Dogs may shed, but cats shred.

My mom is having a lot of trouble coping with the aftermath of Katrina. Sometimes it's comical - like when she tries to talk on her cell phone and disconnects 5 times during our conversation by accidentally hitting the "off" button (they still don't have land line phone service in Chalmette). But...

I don't get it. Are kids like dogs? LOL It's all over the news that there is a frequency that kids can hear and most adults cannot. It was said that when it was discovered, the tone was used in a store somewhere in Europe that had a teen population that the proprietors didn't want loitering, so...

..... they found another rotten tooth dammit :(((( and I'm now an additional $420 in debt with at least another $thousand$ or so worth of repairs needed to save three teeth that I'd lose otherwise. I hate losing teeth, would rather be up to my eyeballs in debt than have to get any more yanked...

Our three cats go in and out as the please, and even though we live in a fairly safe, cat friendly environment, if they don't come home every day, I get worried. They all wear collars with tags, but they loose them often. Last week, Smokey was gone for a couple of days. On the third day I went to...

Hi all, I just returned from the hospital - my husband Carl passed away this morning. For the past few days he's been visited by every friend who could get in to see him and there was as much laughter as tears. If there is a good way to leave, this was it. I want to thank everyone for their purrs...

The folks I drive for are normally really good about drivers home for scheduled home time. They make a special point of doing so for Christmas. Right now, though, it's looking kind of iffy. I'm in Salt Lake City at the company terminal, on a load that delivers just south of Chicago on Tuesday. My...

When our kitties decide to "become bad" and "get" us, we know that they usually turn sideways and hunch up, or as my friend calls it, becoming a "witch kitty". Then they will likely run and paw at us, then dash off into the other room, daring us to follow, at our peril. Well, my big 19-pound...

You came to me years ago as a stray and I've never known your age. When you became a renal patient 6 years ago and got cat flu at the same time you almost died, but got a next life and did very well to everyone's surprise. But then you got cancer and that can't be solved with pills and diet...
