Hi everyone, I am a doctoral student at Auburn University and am offering participation in an online research study related to career and occupational issues. For each completed survey I receive, I will donate $2 to The Humane Society of the United States. It generally takes 15-20 minutes...

Hey guys I found this to be very interesting and amazing how one guys decides to put his life at risk of his dog. Really must love his dog right? Tell me what you think and if you would have done the same thing? Just thinking about it is like wow punching a shark, which is pretty out this world...

It was next to nothing, thank God. Her little heart is barely on the edge of murmuring; the doctor says it's right on the brink of normal and Grade 1 murmur, and hovering closer to normal right now. She has been given these tiny pills the name of which I forget at the moment, made even tinier by...

I've read the stories about the EBM, but have never actually had an owner get caught up by it. Except today. Rita didn't meet me at the door after work. I was changing in the bedroom, calling for her, and heard this pitiful little 'mew' in the closet. Opening the door, Rita was in her favorite...

As many of you know, I lost my Basset Hound last month. Since then, things have changed dramatically. First off is my male Chihuahua is now alpha male between he and my Dachshund. My Basset, Happy, was alpha, so this is kind of different. I want to believe that Fabio (the Chihuahua) has...

The actor who played the part of Gollum in the film version of "Lord Of The Rings" is being interviewed on BBC TV's Breakfast show this morning. He revealed that Gollum's voice is based on the sound made by a cat horking up a furball :-) Incidentally, the interview is primarily based on a new...

My cat Angus*, who is about 10 or 12 years old, has an enlarged large intestine. He doesn't have full blown megacolon, and his current treatments are working pretty well, but the vet says it's a progressive condition and he might develop megacolon at some point. Apparently the treatment for full...

I used to take in foster cats for a local rescue group. Mr. Sanders and two of his siblings were adopted from our group by a family with kids and all was well for three years. Then the family had a new baby and things went sideways. Mr. Sanders went bat**** insane psycho kitty. He didn't bother the...

I really think that the meds I was on (Tramadol in particular) was responsible for how dreadful I was on the group. I could have fought with anyone and argued to the n'th degree. Which does not mean to say I will not argue again! Tramadol is good as a painkiller but I think it affects how you...

Hello, I haven't been around in a bit so wanted to drop a line. I am thriving in the chiropractic clinic job - however with that being full time, my part time night job, cartooning for the paper AND other obligations, I've not been around the group in about a month and change. I will be doing...

I don't know what I'm going to do with these cats! I give them as much freedom as possible, but I usually block the cat door an hour or two before we have to leave for Nanki-Poo's radiation treatments, once I'm sure both cats are in the house. That way I know I can catch Nanki to put him in...

If you're like me (and who says you are? ;)) you are at a loss for Christmas ideas. Everybody in my family is steeped in materialistic bliss. For a long time, my dad has been able to get just about anything he wants for himself, and he goes right ahead and does it. He gets my brother and...

GRRRRR!!! As some of you may know, Mischief has found a new spot on top of my computer monitor, And I'm finding it ver ydifficult to read the messages on this NG with her *&%(&$ tail swinging back and forth in front of the screen. Now she has turned herself around and her head is now peering...

This group is so busy, I have a hard time keeping up with the posts! LOL. Jill introduced me and I just can't seem to get the time to respond the way I'd like to. I *do* read everything though. So, on that note, to whom I've missed, purrs to all! Good luck to anyone with a new kitty, surgery,...

As soon as the isp started working agin, I got the pictures uploaded to the We Met folder in Catslaves. I hope the problem with the isp is solved for good. At any rate, the pictures are now upline. I can't figure out how you guys are able to write text with your pictures. All i can get is a title....

"jmcquown" wrote in message ... In the last day or so, rfc has been 'hit' with a couple of posts which didn't make any sense to most people but which were cross-posted to rec.pets.cats.anecdotes. This is the result of...

Orlie has pretty much become a permanent fixture on my lap while I'm surfing these days. He rarely takes much interest in what's on the screen, but today I happened on Sylvie Guillem's web site (http://www.sylvieguillem.com) and he was so fascinated by a short video of her dancing that he made...

Some unknown folks emailed Sherry, thinking she was taking Angel to the shelter because of her "antics". Angel was a fostered kitten, ready for a forever-home. If you foster cats, please stand and be recognized! Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off.

Hi all, between the orphans and angelfish I don't even get to read groups often but I got an orphan this week that I just have to share with all the cat lovers. She is the most striking colors I've ever seen. She and her brother and sister were 2 weeks old when mom died of infection. They are...
