I'm just feeling so sad and blue today, and my blasted crippling knees are hurting so bad, and I just don't know what to do. I know my BP is up, I also have to take narcotic PK's for my knees,which I hate with a passion, thus making me sleep and I can't spend much quality time with my 4 cute...

The vet's office just called. Nanki-Poo is out of surgery and doing well. They have him on fluids right now, and still think he should be able to come home around 5:15. This morning was a bit rough (not even counting having to get up so early). He wasn't hard to catch, and he didn't fight me...

Even after her second "spaying", Shadow still caterwails all night. This is *not* making her a popular cat with Joel. She also flatly refuses to use the litterboxes, much preferring the kitchen - right at the place where you'd stand when working at the sink. This does exactly nothing to increase...

When I went to the Rest Area for work today, I found two baby kittens, probably just barely weaned if indeed that was the case. Upon the cleaning crew looking around, we found two dead kitties in the parking lot. Someone just dumped them. We fed the two as best we could and, with people...

I've not updated about KFC for a while now. She's doing really well atm. She will not eat anything except "real chicken" unfortunately - I worry about feeding her exclusively on her "ultimate favourite food" as there will be nothing to tempt her if she deteriorates again, and I do wish I could...

I don't care what you say, Rob is NEVER OT. Rob was ready to go in for chemo at 8:30 am. Chemo was scheduled for 11:30 and we were asked to be a half hour early to clear up some of the information. YIKES! One of the worst side effects for the type of chemos that Rob is getting is diarrhea. ...

For those who love the cellphone. And no wonder our kids are turning stupid http://www.dailymotion.com:80/relevance/search/portable/video/x5odhh_pop-corn-telephone-portable-microon_news

Thanks for the purrs. She is much better today, has hardly sneezed at all. I was at home with her all day today so I know that for sure. Not only that, she ate a few tablespoons of "cat food" last night and some this morning. I've been longing to get her back on to cat food as her exclusively...

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays, all! Oscar's doing well on the chemo. Here are two pics DH took of her recently: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca/rpca-2007.12.24/ When she's not snoozing, she's been acting extremely kittenish -- lots of galloping around the house, playing with the cat dancer,...

It seems that I've been asking for a lot of purrs lately. Sorry about that, but I need to ask again. My family doc referred me to an ortho surgeon for my knee injury. He believed that I had torn the meniscus cartilage in my knee, and the surgeon agrees. The surgeon wants me to go in for an MRI...

I hope and pray that none of our kitties had any of the toxic food that is being recalled, or if they did, they were not harmed beyond repair. I checked all of ours and did not find a problem. It's kind of hard for me to believe anything can go wrong with wheat gluten, but if that's what they...

I will be moving from a house in a suburban/semi-rural area to an apartment in a big metropolis. Now my cats can go out whenever they want and in fact they spend more time outdoors than indoors. They love to roam, climb trees, hunt, etc. They'd probably go nuts if confined in an apartment. To my...

I thought Silver and Scouty were fairly average-sized felines, okay a bit on the chubby side, but nothing extraordinary... The vet didn't seem alarmed when they had their annual checkups (though as usual he commented on how incredibly muscular and strong Scouty is!) But from a few other posts it...

Ginger-lyn runs into the rpca room, whooping and doing a happy dance. Running over to the first person she sees, she hugs Marina. Then she runs over and hugs Julie, and Adrian, and Jill, and Yowie, and Christina, and Dan, and Victor, and Mark before she stops, panting and out of...

Next Saturday I am going to the town shelter to look at kittycats. It has been more than 20years since I had the best cat in the world, Shadow kitten. Sigh. I know I will never have a cat like her again. But I saw a picture on petfinder. Grey tuxedo :) yes, looks like my Shadow. Her name is...

Last week, Dot's wanderings into Buster's territory caused some chases and fights, but it seems now that they've become weary and wary of each other's fighting abilities, and now mostly posture and bluff. At the same time, it's become the time of year for the squirrels to gather acorns from the...

Sorry I have participated so little lately. Life's been insane lately and on top of it all I've been sick. So purrs for everyone who needs them! I started out having the flu and now it's progressed to an annoying cough. Last night I decided to try that supposedly sure-fire night-time cough...

.....to begin thinking about compiling the rpca holiday card list. Is everyone up for doing cards again this year? I don't see any reason I can't put the list together. I don't have anything major planned that would prevent my participation. If someone else feels strongly about doing it I can...

I can't seem to remember, is it the Lion or the Tiger that can't/doesn't purr? Kyla
