I stopped at PetsMart after my dentist appointment this morning (routine cleaning) and talked to the people at SunSmart - the rescue group that works out of that store. They told me that they have a lady that works with them specializes in TNR (she has 27 acres that she uses for a feral colony. ...

We're headed out for a week to Bangor Maine and New Brunswick Canada. Purrs and prayers where needed. See ya'll Saturday!!! Grace

We will be travelling for about two weeks in December and our three cats will have to go to a boarding kennel. It almost brings me to tears thinking about this because I know they will be so unhappy, but it's the only option. They are inside/outside cats and love to go out at night to hunt in...

Many thanks to the Mass folks who wished me rain in Sydney, Australia. It is *pouring* today and is likely to keep up the whole day and I'm very happy. Our down pipes are gurgling and our water tanks are filling - I had a guilt-free shower this morning! I have a day at home today, so had the...

Hi All, Our d*g, Fox, disappeared yesterday and hasn't come home yet. DH is convinced that he's gone RB; I'm not yet ready to admit that. DH is utterly devastated - he has a special bond with Fox. Whilst we wander the streets and put up signs, please could you all apply the special power of...

One of the things the psychologist had us do when my team was going through the Myers-Briggs training was really fun and helped illustrate the differences between two sets of the "types", "FJ" and "TP". He picked the two most extreme examples of this type (of course I was the "TP") and sent us...

Hey everyone, I've been so busy with classes and work and trying to get the newsletter it's been a little hectic. I had to drop one of my classes because it was getting so crazy. So my best guy friend invites me over on Saturday. I had just finished a 7 am -4 pm shift so I was dead tired. He...

The other day I visited people who have a really sweet tuxedo cat called Selma. I told them she looked just like the little tuxedo cat on Internet, the one you tickle with the pointer and it purrs or bat at it or swish it's tail ... Do you know which one I mean? Does anyone have the URL, I can't...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 No, it isn't my cat that is missing. My boss's next-door-neighbor's cat has been missing for about a week. They have posters up on every telephone pole for several blocks around. The cat is a marmalade (orange-and-white) short-hair, missing from 492...

The other night, Cleo Carrington Smith reacted in a strange way to something my partner Robert did. As a back story, I have a "flying carpet" that I sit on to watch TV, as I don't like sitting in chairs. I am a "floor dweller" and Cleo Carrington Smith has got quite used to me doing this and...

Hey all, Since I'm such a proud mama, I thought I'd post the URL to the newest pics of my boy Casey, and his roommate Randa.. :) http://tinyurl.com/3s4st or http://carrielousalter.ca/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=newkittypics

I got a postcard from vet saying cats are at risk for heartworm - I don't recall whether it was 20-30% of cats, or 20-30% as often as dgs, or whatever. And of course, they sell the medecine... I balked at the pitch they used to make for dental cleaning (next they'll fill cavities!), but is...

"Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... This is what I tell Buster practically everyday. He'll be sitting on the corner of the bed nearest the desk, and will eye the desk. I always tell him "No kitties on the desk, not...

Lindy has always been a bit of a talker, but the last week or two, she's outdone herself. Sometimes her meows sound hoarse, but I suspect that's from talking so much. One thing that was really strange - I am not a morning person, and since I'm retired, I can get away with it. There is always dry...

Yes, everyone, I'm still alive. I'm just trying juggle homework, school projects, work and my latest new activity, springboard diving. But I realize that I haven't had don'e one os these in a long time. So while on a break from studying for my first exam this semester, here it goes. Gypsy is...

Laundry Basket Game is a good game. There are many variations to it for instance......place l.b. upside down in middle of room, with cats favorite toy inside. They also love cat inside, toy outside. (for awhile) That's especially a good one if it's a round basket, and the toy is a little ball...

Well, we know the trap works - it caught the possum that's been coming around for a couple of months to clean up any leftover cat food. I had heard someone describe a possum's defense and had a chance to experience it tonight - YUCK!!!!! We let the possum go and hosed down the trap, but I don't...

Who will win ?

When my partner was hand-raising a pair of three week old kittens, he was also writing his Masters' thesis. He would type with the box of kittens on his lap, so he could talk to them and keep them warm. They very quickly bonded with him as their "mother" or MomDad as we settled on. Anyway, as...
