I don't really understand it. I don't have an overly sensitive nose but any time I bought (not on purpose!) scented cat litter it made me flinch. Cats noses are much more sensitive than mine. Who at the litter factory thought adding perfume is a good idea? It's like stepping into an elevator...

Hobo has had some trouble walking the past few weeks. His back legs seemed to be weakening a bit but it was not particularly alarming. We assumed it was due to the dregs of the maulings he endured last summer and his lengthy recovery from bites on his back leg. Also, since his escapade down the...

I have just posted a video clip (cougar_toy.mpg) to alt.binaries.pictures.animals, with the subject line 'cougar playing with beach ball - "cougar_toy.mpg". It is cute, but, at 20.6 MB, probably not a practical download unless you have a broadband Internet connection. I went to the Nashville Zoo...

John found the half-used cake of soap in the middle of the lounge. I followed the trail of various type pills through the dining-room and down the hallway. John found the eye dropper and the bandages on the floor of the bathroom. Other medicines were all around the wash-basin with more pills,...

Today is the day Christy (kilikini) she gets all her pre-op tests and tomorrow she's scheduled for surgery. She called the other day and she's scared spitless. (Who wouldn't be?) She's going to be in for a long haul recovering from this massive surgery. Along with the tumor they are going to...

Yep, the last member of the nest turns 21 on Friday. The gang has decided to get her as drunk as possible in my dining room. The booze is bought the pizza money is stashed and prezzies have already been given so that she will remember them. I'm supposed to take car keys, film, and cook a nice...

I haven't posted on here for ages...I do read the messages though and get the cats to send purrs to all those in need. Today I said goodbye to Polly, she went down hill very quickly and blood tests and a scan today revealed malignant abnormalities in her liver. An operation to remove the...

Amber and Tiger are creatures of habit. They have a series of morning routines that rarely changes. When I get up I tell Amber to wait on the bed for her hug (she usually sleeps on my bed). I go upstairs (that's where the living room/kitchen is) and Tiger meets me at the top of the stairs. ...

I need to vent about this & I knew other cat lovers would understand.... My Father In Law has a new girlfriend & she had a gorgeous little tuxedo named Patches that is 4 yrs old.... My Father in law is a cheap, manipulative, cat hating *******! He told his Girlfriend to "Get rid" of her cat &...

Howdy! We've had Tyler (or is that the other way 'round) our cat Tyler for about 1.3 years now. He was 6 months old(ish) when we got him from an adoption agency that rescues cats from kill shelters (or wherever!). He's white, with brown/black markings on his head, parts of his ears, one on his...

Pine Cone has been lounging outside the door to Mandy's room. I suspect the little stinker has been scouting the bitties for positions on the "Mouser." (I have. PC esq.) He's also been putting the rest of the cats through their paces in preparation for this year's cruise. When one walks into...

Does anyone have experience with either? Some sites recommend this in conjunction with Chlortrimeton for cats with allergies. Derm Caps http://www.1800petmeds.com/pdetail.asp?SK=10303

Warning. If you get home late after an evening out with friends, and find three of your cats sitting in a close triangle staring intently at one part of your rowing machine, do not reach down blindly with your hand to see if you can feel anything, because a pair of invisible incisors will bite...

(I apologize if I already posted about this. Had some problems with individual.net the other day. All this happened last Friday. It's a long rant, and I apologize for that, too.) /begin rant My car tags & registration are coming up for renewal in April. It's registered in Tennessee. (I...

Here in southern California we've had to deal with a rash of brush fires over the last year. The latest one erupted last night, southwest of the city of Cabazon. Now, less than 24 hours later, it has grown to more than 10000 acres. We have very high sustained winds whipping and driving the...

OK, in Sammy's defense she doesn't ever see me take a bath. I have a huge shower stall in my bathroom downstairs but no bathtub. Whenever I take a shower Sammy waits patiently on the rug under the toilet until I'm finished acting insanely and come out to dry off and pay attention to her...

If you are tender-hearted, *DO NOT* rent this movie. It was in the *children's* section at Hollywood Video, so I thought it would be a touching little movie about two tiger cubs. I had to quit watching it, it literally made me sick to my stomach. The tigers being killed left and right, the abuse...

oldhickery asked: We have Ruby Throats and Black Chins, here...what do you have in NH? Only Ruby Throats here. I enjoyed your slide show. Was that a HummZinger feeder? I notice that they weren't using the perch. With mine I added a closer perch on two sides which they seem to prefer. ...

Sorry this took so long, but my life hasn't been real organized this past week. (Understatement, or what?) http://s276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/g_gandalf/?action=view&current=Buffy6.jpg
