I know my situation isn't nearly as dire as many, but ... I just found out this morning that I've been laid off. Due to shifting priorities at NASA, my project's budget for this year was decimated. I was rolled off of the s/w team because apparently, I'd been scheduled to roll off this summer...

Just got a call from a farmer outside of town. He's sighted a cat that sounds like Sam. His description sounds very hopeful - he even got Sam's nose and paw coloring right. I went by to look but sign of kitty; the farmer will call me as soon as he sees Sammy again. It's a ways out of town, so...

A cyber friend of mine purchased a darling Nativity set for himself and for gifts. It can be seen at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2294656089 I especially like the "tree"! So clever! Gennie

Last night when I got home I found my 21-year-old ginger guy Simon fast asleep on his pillow, snoring, with a ball of wool between his front paws. Alas, my camera batteries were flat :( Helen Wheels

Sheba has been in our lives for 17 years. She came to me as a 3 month old kitten. As I carried her home, I studied her tortishell coloring and her name came to me. But she has also been called Pretty Little Girl, and for the last year, Pretty Little Old Lady. In her youth she was a very good...

I'm going to have to order more cards if we don't stop adding to this list, and I'm already going to put the U.S. Post Office back in the black with the stamps I have to buy! (heheh) Thank goodness this isn't a cookie (or kitten!) exchange G Jill ^..^

Stinky has respectable, not spectacular, whiskers. When little Mimi was with me, she had quite astonishingly, comically long whiskers. She was quite a sight with them bristling out in all directions from her little face; in fact in her later days, they gave her a somewhat deranged appearance. ...

Just read this on a local news web site http://www.kirotv.com/houseandhome/2580604/detail.html. Thought I'd pass the article along in case anyone buys this food. Pass it on to others who might benefit... Pet Food Sold In Washington Recalled POSTED: 2:39 p.m. PDT October 24, 2003

I was in Big W at lunch doing a spot of shopping. Suddenly a woman ran out of the toy aisle screaming "what do I do what do I do?". She went back into the aisle, and came back out holding her daughter, perhaps 3 at the most, who had blood gushing down her face and was crying loudly. A crowd of...

When I went back home from SC in April, Mom's 2007 taxes hadn't been done yet. Dad's 1099-R from his military pension had gone missing and I wasn't able to get a copy prior to the 4/15 deadline. Now, they've been using this woman to prepare their taxes for years. I've no idea what her...

Angus is a sweet black kitten that I fostered for quite a while. He made it through URIs, eye infections, and ringworm. He was healthy and ready for a home until last night when he couldn't get up. His back legs aren't working. We think it could be a saddle thrombus by the symptoms. He went to...

Has anyone here heard of anyone having problems with Splenda (Sucralose)? I've been using it and I like the taste, but then decided to do a web search on "Splenda Dangers" and got more info than I'd bargained for. Of course there's all kind of panic-making misinformation to be had on the web,...

I can blame my mother for this - she started spoiling Egbert So he would always have clean water, she put some in the sink every time she went into the bathroom. After I moved out - he started drinking out of the faucet or tub. It took him almost 2 years to "train" Niobe to do this - It took...

As many of you know (and some have similar problems), my cat and I have been battling her "licky granuloma" on her right hind leg for several years now. I've gone from several depo medrol shot at the beginning to treating her with 2.5 - 5 mg/day of Prednisolone with Tresaderm or Gentaved...

My 3 favourite things with the Miles felines.... HRFL's deep rumbling purr on my bed as he settles down on my feet as I fall asleep. Miss Lily Whiskers chirp as she drops her fur mowsie on my lap to play fetch. Watching 5 satisfied & relaxed owners giving themselves a bath after supper.

Don't often share my heartaches with cat ng cyberfriends, but multiple purrs needed for a couple friends in Miami, my hometown. Early a.m. today, a call woke me from a close pal; her DH's only child, a daughter, 21, went to RB today 3 days after driving headon into a large concrete pole late at...

Wanted to share some stories and photos from Maverik. A few photos to start things off: http://www.xirr.com/~roberts/pictures1.html , hopefully I'll get some better ones scanned in. Physically she's a typical mid-atlantic barn cat. You see cats on the side of the road from Pennsylvania to Virgina...
