As there appears to be no "cat talk" perhaps we can discuss the weather. Here in the Rockies, it is just like summer -- today. Don't know how long it will last. I heard one report about snow on the mountain tops. Best wishes to all. MLB

I'm very, very upset to have to tell you that my father's much beloved cat Potjie, a.k.a. Jet, died this morning. Yesterday morning he was kicked whilst walking behind a cow (kicked by a cow). My father rushed him to the vet and he was put on a drip. He seemed to be improving and everyone was...

I had to give the masters Advantage this evening. Gosh darn it, are they *****ed*!!!!!!! They don't even want their night dish of wet food. They're in hiding. You'd think I killed them. :-P kili

I seem to recall that some of the folks here have it. Could you please either post or email me privately with your experiences, resources you've found helpful, etc? I'm a little bit in shock right now and not sure how good or bad it is that I now have a name for my problem. -- monique, who...

Actually Smokey is selfish, but what do you expect from a Kat. Grumpy old bill just had a knee replacement on Monday, which means I can't do some of Smokey's favourite things, snuggling on the floor, bathing on the floor, etc.. I've tried to tell her that dad hurt his knee and he can't bend...

My brother sent me a text message today telling me that his Springer Spaniel, Maggie, had a grand mal seizure today. He got her to the vet and got a prescription for some meds, and should get the results of her blood work back tomorrow. We're hoping it's nothing serious. We are well acquainted...

In 2001 you wrote a beautiful story for Helen about the Shard of Helen's Heart that Schroedinger took with him to the Rainbow Bridge and followed with a Part II about Emma's Shard. It is as beautiful as the Rainbow Bridge story if ask my opinion (ok, I know you didn't ask) :) Every time one of our...

A vet suggested to me that I put food in those plastic balls with holes in them so that my rather large cats would get some exercise. I'm not sure that this was ever effective, since I put treats in them to increase the cats' motivation, and the cats seemed to expect the treats in addition to...

Hi pussycats This morning I have been loudly purring. I have been purring because I am now happy that I allowed my Meowmie to take lots of photos of me during the spring and summer. When she took them, I did not know that she was planning to submit any of them to any photography magazine. This...

OK, just took another picture of Sammy just a few minutes ago. She has such an interesting expression on her face I know it deserves a special caption, but I can't think of one now. Can anyone help? http://www.possibleplaces.com/sammy/ Hugs, CatNipped

I have to go to Walmart while it's still light out - only another hour or so! - and cannot remember one item I need. Help.... It's some small thing for the house (I'm pretty sure), an urgently needed thing that I keep forgetting to buy!I can't be running over to Walmart that often, and they...

A certain black kitty has discovered the kitchen sink, and is completely fascinated trying to figure out Where The Water Goes. Every time I go near the sink, he comes racing into the kitchen and jumps up and gets into it (and in my way, of course). He's perfectly willing to get wet in the process....

One of Nikki's favourite places to go for walkies used to be a little copse beside our block of flats. Used to be. I've been too tired to go out with Nikki in the evenings after work now that I'm back at work, but yesterday I had a burst of energy, and asked Nikki if she wanted to go out. She...

We experienced temps in the 30s F here in North Carolina last week. This was very uncomfortable for us all as the heater is based under the house and none of us were able to go under to make sure the pilot light was on. So we got cold. I got up in the middle of the night to shiver my way to...

I was wondering if anyone on the list here has ever tamed a feral/ semi-feral cat? And if they had some recommendations or guidelines for going about this? Thanks. Fuga
