Are you planning to evacuate for Hurricane Irma? Your mother and Marlo with her along with Baby and all the cats? There are people from Florida already moving, booking motels and hotels (pet friendly) and travelling well ahead of the hurricane. It hasn't even hit the States yet. Got any...

It's been a month since my spinal surgery and, unfortunately, the pain has not gone away - which pretty much means there was irreversible nerve damage done (and I won't get into all those doctors I went to for 2 years who said nothing could be done, which prolonged the time the nerve was...

I just returned from a week long vacation to S. Lake Tahoe. I did some skiing and got totally sunburned. The best part is that I won $300 while I was there. Anyway the last 3 days I was out there I decided to rent a car and drive out to the Pacific Ocean coast in California. My God what a beautiful...

Last month when I got my electric bill it was for usage Sept. 25 thru Oct. 23. I expected it to be lower than the previous bill, because the big heat wave had ended in mid-September and I had quit using so many fans. But no, it was 70kwh higher than the bill for the prior month. I asked about it...

Starting a new thread so Tweed won't think we're all gossiping about her. :) Mike wrote: The mistakes that bother me the most are the use of SEEN where SAW would be correct and the incorrect use of THERE, THEIR, and THEY'RE. Grammar peeves are like... well, you know. :) Everybody has one....

I have had this problem all my life but it is *always* worse during the holidays. Crazy people want to talk to me. Strangers. In public. Sorry to be so OT, but this is bugging me. I need to figure out what it is about me that causes them to single *me* out. Today it happened twice. Once exiting Wal...

Last night, I must have been in the bargaining phase of mourning, because I made a plea to whoever might be listening, if anyone was listening... I asked that Betty's life be spared. In return, I offer my own life. A life for a life is fair, isn't it? It's not that I don't love my life. I want...

I have finally figured out WHY Lorelei likes to hide in the basement or my bedroom: Lorelei is afraid of me. It explains everything: why she shies away if I move too quickly near her. Why she jumps if I make noise near her. Why she hides from me :( I think the son of the woman who gave me the...

Well, this is another one I've never seen, and it sure wasn't funny at the time, but now that all is well, it was, well, a wild one! I'm getting ready to feed the critters their second meal of the day. Now, most of the time, they gather around me, and there is quite a bit of half-hearted...

I've been taught a valuable lesson today...... This morning I thought I would have an extra 15 mins in bed reading but Smudge had other ideas, she walked over to my book and head butted it until I put it down to give her a scritch, then she laid down on it. This evening as I was watching TV and...

This morning Christine took some food to the barn for the mother cat. She saw the cat exit the barn as she entered. Then she heard a little hiss and looked in the dark place between a couple of bales of hay. Sure enough, she saw a pair of tiny glowing eyes. She put on her gloves and reached in and...

This morning when I came back from watering the horse herd in a nearby pasture, Abelard was standing in the little wading pool I have in the yard. Just standing there, looking down into the water. He looked up at me as I approached, as if to say, "Look, mom! I'm in the pool!" I was so...

If the generous kitties of rpca could spare a few more purrs, I would like to ask for some for a newcomer - my DH has apparently had his cat magnet on again. Late last night, DH told me that a stray cat had turned up at the office, skinny and yelling and holding up one paw. As TED was closed and...

I'm not talking about Two Lumps the comic strip, although I've bookmarked that site and I really like it. :) Today in one of the cages in the treatment room there's a bunch of blankets, a water dish and a litter tray. No cat can be seen, but there are two lumps under the blanket. According to...

OK, I'm finished Bandit's page and Demi's page, so that's it for now except for one thing - my "Friends" page is empty! Please send me links to your web pages or photo albums!!! Please, please please, pretty please???!! http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ -- Hugs,

My poor, poor baby is gone. She was so wonderful and loving. She was so beautiful, even in the end. And I feel so haunted by the horror of watching her die. She was such a good little kitty, and never did anything wrong! She didn't deserve any of this! I can't believe she's gone. I've been...

I am supposed to get clavamox pills into Tiger twice a day. Hiding in his food isn't working and I don't think he would eat "pill pockets". I wonder if I could smash the pill, mix it with butter (or vasoline) and smear the mixture on his fur. The alternative is a number of 20 mile trips to the...

Leo - one of the four little ones who were put in a cardboard box in front of my house mid december 2007 might have a pneumonia. Since yesterday I see him breathing heavily and can`t do anything about it as he doesn`t allow me near to him. He, from the start, was the one who doesn`t come nearer as...

My 6 month old named Donny had a confrontation with a racoon. He was outside and I was inside sleeping when he made the most unbelievable screaming noise. I was quite surprised he could make such a sound and I went right out to see what's up and saw the racoon running away. By the time I got my...

Hi Everyone Well there is a new foster kitten to my family and I feel so sorry for her. She is pure black and she is a sister to my other foster kitten Heidi. Sadly the losers that owned the mother to these cats decided they did not want them and dumped them down the bottom of there garden for...
