My neighbor, owned by Fedders (RB) and Schwartzie, called to ask if I could take care of Schwarty (nickname) while she's gone for a week and a half, maybe two. She's moving! Putting her house up for sale and scouting an area closer to her son, DIL and grandkids. The problem is, he's a...

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...

*tears* I'm crying because a cat lost her one true love. How "group-ish" is that and who else on this blessed earth would understand it and NOT be a member here already? This story is right up there with Shakespeare :) How beautiful Catherine. Grace "CATherine"...

Hi, I am Syl. I am a B/W kept inside the little condo of my Mom and her family's. She adores me to the death and often gets too much and I run away. It got to be obvious that I am the second generation with this name, and my Mom lost the kittie who lived for over 18 years with her about a couple...

Without time to go deeply into details or even an outline, I ask for good thought-energy and purrs sent this way for me and my owners to be able to get a good home together in the near future. Help, help, HELP!?! I know things can go in any direction but with you all pulling & purring for us,...

....have it sitting here next to me on the couch, and still can't grab it up quick enough to get snapshots and video of the masters' playing. Of course, first I have to find my glasses so I can actually *see* the phone and spend ten minutes looking for them before DH tells me they're on my...

Beast stopped eating the day after we arrived back in PA, Tuesday, his yowling went harsher and when yesterday he wouldn't even sniff the sausage patty brought home from breakfast - it was as though he waited to get "home". His cairn is just a step from Max's. I'm surprised at the depth of...

If anyone is interested, there is a very good video that has just been posted of Fritz "The Brave" having an asthma attack. I didn't know the symptoms of asthma when Sam first presented. After about 1 1/2 weeks of his coughing I took him to the vet and my description was "that he looked like he...

A new neighbour came around to discuss something earlier. She saw Lily. After looking at her, and then at HRFL who deigned to come and inspect her, she said that she wouldn't have cats with only one eye, and she though I was nuts to have them when there were so many other *more perfect looking*...

Hi the I was out in the backyard trying to plant when the cats, particuarly Chester, started being crazy. They were running around chasing each other and then Chester climbed the chainlink fence and finally, the huge ornamental crabapple, currently in blossom. He had a big fall from...

Got up early this morning, well at least early for a Sunday. Even after 10 years after retirement from the Army, I still wake up about 5 most mornings. Most of the time I just turn over and go back to sleep, but this morning Sammy noticed me awake and decided it was a perfect time for some quality...

Last night, there was suddenly an aweful noise from the kitchen. Joel rushed over to find it was coming from the computer, specifically from the CDrw drive, which had suddenly turned itself on (otherwise the computer was idle, flicking through its screensaver, and had been for several hours)....

First time I've encountered this with Buffy. I don't know what got into her last night. We were asleep. She was on the bed next to me. At around 1AM she started meowing. I immediately woke up and asked, "What's wrong, girl?" I gave her some scritches and she settled down again. No sooner...

Real Life has swallowed me whole lately, but we have been sending purrs out into the aether to be distributed as needed by the mothership, and will continue to do so. Hubert has decided that dishtowels do not belong on the oven door. They just don't. He's very businesslike about it; he'll walk...

I love how cats imitate the positions of those (other felines, humans, dogs, whomever) around them: http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2009/01/cat-and-baby.html -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.)

I have discovered that putting someone in KF does no good, they just keep showing on other posts of people I read. I just wish we could drop some of the stuff and move on back to our "family" type caring. Yeah, I know old lady wants harmony and life isn't like that.

It was as I feared. Her kidneys were too far gone. So I made the painful decision; Persia went to the bridge this afternoon. The vet gave me a little heart shaped stone "memory box" with some of her fur in it. She will be cremated and her ashes returned to me. Heartfelt thanks to all of you...
