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...

I don't know about you, but down here in the mid-South I have these really disgusting crickets that always appear in my outdoor storage room on the patio every summer. They aren't regular crickets. They are pale brown and have extra long "jumping legs" and they can truly jump about 6 feet :) One...

Purrs coming up! I hope you get it! -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur! Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album

Hello cat-fans! Got a story for you about a stray cat. There was a grey tabby/white cat who would sneak in our cat-door after we went to bed to eat the left over cat food and munch on the cat biscuits. I would try and sneak back and catch a glimpse of him but he would always get away before I...

Good game O J, when I go into the bedroom at night ready for bed Wilson beats me in ready for a game, he crouches down on the bed, bottom wiggling chin tucked in, Ihave to toss toys to him, but they have to go upright over his head and over the other side so he has to jump high for them, if they...

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...

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...

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...

Someone pointed me to Xylitol as a sugar substitute, particularly for baking. It apparently has dental benefits and fewer calories than sugar. This person said that she has even made a creme brule that turned out beautifully. I think she said that, in a recipe calling for sugar, she uses half...

Tamales, anyone?

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...

Well, Dennis and I are back home in Thailand. We got in to Bangkok late on Tuesday, so we spent the night with my friend Elsa, then drove home yesterday morning. Vino was soooo happy to see us, he purred non stop all day! He was very impressed with the new litterbox we brought him from Canada...

Kerry, my newish cat, seems to be lacking fur on part of her belly near the back legs. I only just noticed - she loves being petted, but like many cats, she takes exception to belly-rubs so I hadn't looked at her belly in quite a while. I have an appointment with the vet for her tomorrow - I...

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...

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...

Bonnie sat in the middle of the lounge looking deep in communication with the mothership. Then it happened - she hiccupped, twice. A moderate sized bubble came out of her mouth and drifted towards the ceiling! I blinked - this was something new. Perhaps I was imagining it. Bonnie hiccupped...
