I still can't quite wrap my mind around the fact that it's June in the USA and hot as h*ll, and the catslaves in Australia and New Zealand are talking about winter and coming cold weather. It's like when my husband tried to explain to me that events that occurred in deep space millions of years...

I don't want to do this, but don't have much choice. For no reason i or Joel can fathom, IBKFergus just ripped my thumb to shreds. Its that bad, i can't use my right thumb to type. Now I've wrestled with Shmogg all his life and I've had my fair share of scratches and bites, but never this deep,...

I know, I know, its *miles* away from the holidays and most of you are still happily enjoying your summer and not thinking remotely about snow and ice. Still, as any of you have previously organised The List, it needs alot of organising, and so I may as well get started. Those of you subscribed...

Joel's getting more ink work. (Photos coming) He wants to represent the Yowlet and I on his arm. He's quite sure that Cary is a bear cub. He thought I might want to be an eagle, with my 'wings' wrapped around the little bear cub for protection. But Eagles, to me, are very regal and wise and...

Ok, it sounds like a really bad spam, but if you want to send/get holiday cards, PLEASE get me your addresses. I only have ten people's addresses and I personally LIKE to send out over a hundred cards. That means I'll receive over a hundred cards and my letter carrier is totally under-worked and...

I keep seeing posts on here about weight, how much is good and how much isn't. Yesterday we had a family reunion and the first thing my younger uncle's wife said to me was "Oh, I'm glad to see you are still slim." I haven't seen her for two years. What's that about? Does it matter to my family...

The never ending soap opera of my life. I swear.... Anyway my DH has threatened to kill me, my son and my cats since he has found out I closed my accounts so he can't steal any more money. I am trying to get the money together to move by the end of the week and seeing a lawyer tomorrow to see...

I know from reading about cats all black and grey cats are basically brown. I just gave Persia a nice brushing. She's not a long-haired cat but she still has a nice ruff around her neck. Well, I noticed it's turning brown. Same thing with her chest. I cannot capture this in a photo, sorry. ...

Yowie!!!!!!! I just read in Catslaves some interesting new news about an impending delivery of a new type of kitten??????!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Stacey ;) --

Well, so far, the toilet training of Imp and Mischief is going well. There still have been a few accidents, but nothing serious. The aluminum pan is now in the toilet, and both of them have used it, but reluctantly. Mischief refused to used it at first. But then I shut her and myself in the...

If there are any nurturing purrs to spare, can you send some for a tiny kitten who was found on the street yesterday by a friend's children who live in Belgium? It's a little black & white baby, and was alone on the street. She has been to the vet with the kitten and they think it is no more than 2...

DH & I did some major grocery (and other supply) shopping this morning. As soon as we got all perishables put away in the fridge/freezer, we heard this terrible cat yeowling. Looked for our Seven - Only one missing was Weeble - he was in the closet, and wanted out. All kitties accounted for. ...

I had hoped to set up another group purr activity for the nearest equinox or full moon. Looks like I missed both - doh! GOt to pay more attention! So how about this weekend? Maybe Saturday evening/Sunday morning, same time schedule as last time? I'll update the purr list today or tomorrow. Dan

We give a lot of baths at our vet hospital. Of course they are mostly dogs, but every now and then there will be a cat on the daily task sheet that needs a bath. Giving a cat a bath, huh? I'm sure there are some of you here that know what that's like. Here's how we do it. 1. take cat out of...

Hi, folks In the last thread I started about Kitty FC's amazing progress from being a no-hoper with RB fast approaching to a diva who had gained a lot of weight and insisted on roast chicken, I mentioned how her fur had got into a bad state, partly because she stopped self-grooming some time...

I figured I'd throw this story into the pot. Mai Kitty (pronounced my kitty) is a calico that I rescued about 3 years ago. Sometimes, I think she is an angel from God. I have rhematoid arthritis and her love has kept me going. To the story. During this time of the year, when it is still...

Strictly speaking they have the dropped kerb in front of their property that allows me to get my car out. They continually block it and get annoyed if I ask them to move their car so I can get mine out. On Wednesday I asked them once again and I had to hop with my bad foot around to their house...

For the last few days, my sweet litttle Mosey has had diarrhea, but otherwise seems fine..he eats, plays, acts normal. This happens only when we feed him ham and I stopped feending him ham a few days ago and the 'trots' stopped, but yesterday DH gave him some ham and he got the trots again...

Last Tuesday I ordered some herbal formulas online - one for Abelard who is scratching and pawing at his ears again plus a cold/flu formula that I try to always keep on hand plus one that works well for back pain, a two-month supply. It has been a while since I've had any money to spare and I...

They got that son of a bitch. God bless all the troops in all the countries that have gave their lives. Stay safe come home safe and THANK YOU
