My sister's cat Tiger had a heart attack last night and had to be put to sleep. She was an older cat, in her teens. Several years ago a lady in her Sweet Adelines choir had to move and she took in the ladies cat Tiger. I think tiger was around 8 then. She's had her at least 5 years. Last night...

Hello friends near and far and a special hello to my adopted Mama, Nikki, in Findland. Forgive me for not sending in a story by the September 1st deadline but, you see, something horrible has happened. My home has been infested with red dot greeblings. Some of you may know these elusive,...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to do this, I'm heart-broken right now, and need to tell someone about the loss of a friend. Gibby, a short haired tabby, was my wife and my good friend for the past 14 years. We met her at the local shelter on Prince Edward Island, she was already an adult...

Well, Dad still says that he wants to find a new home for Speedy, but I think that won't happen anytime soon. He lives in the country where kittens are hardly rare. His biggest objection is that the kitten is....well, a kitten, and keeps knocking things off tables and playing with them, and...

For the last two days it's been 112 or higher - that's 44 C. Inside the house it's 91. At least it does stay a little cooler indoors. Most of the cats are flat. I repeat the song I composed a few years back about the tomcats: We're the Flat Boys We forgot all about our toys

Hello everyone; my name is Mike. Flippy found me hanging out in another cat group and invited me to stop in here, so; here I am. I live in Kentucky, in the USA, and although I hold the mortgage and am the bringer of feasts, there is a cadre of cats that live here that won't let me forget who's...

Thankfully our health is fine here but... We ran into a slight (BIG) construction problem. One of our walls wobbles. It's not a support wall, in fact they pulled it out to rebuild again because the first time they threw it up, it was only to build one part. Sorta like, they had to perform step one...

I have a cousin who is a nurse and she sent me 30 ways to know you are a nurse. Some funny ones but didn't figure most would want mt to post it here.

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...

I made a tuna/asparagus/cheese pie topped with mashed potato today for my dinner tonight. Kitty sat on the arm of my chair begrudging me every mouthful. I told her to go and eat the food she'd already got in her bowl and didn't give her any. Now I feel guilty. I would never allow my dogs to beg...

Hi all. My boss's wife has a long history of poor health, including cancer, lupus and endimetriosis. They've been married for 23 years and have weathered every storm together. They now have two adopted children, ages 12 and 13, as well as 4 dogs and 5 cats! Anyway, she has been bad again lately...

Yesterday I was scritching Vino under his chin when I noticed a black dot. Upon further investigation, I noticed a whole bunch of them. Some came off with a bit of gentle fingernail scratching, but others didn't. Dennis was summoned for assistance. We ended up squeezing one and a huge...

1.Tucker has panted very easily ever since we've known him and after talking with Megan I'm going to take him to get checked out by the vet tomorrow -- (hoping to rule out feline asthma or cardiomyopathy) -- it's going to be hard on the little guy so any purrs would be appreciated. Anyone here...

Hi Guys'n'Gals Hoping to see lots of tips & hints on better hoolikittening come in now we're up & running. I mentioned yesterday how I was tricking the senior cats into giving me double helpings of dinner. Sometimes that isn't quite enough so I try to help myself while they're still chowing down...

http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050821/LIVING/508210366 I read 99% of the story, but here are some 'highlights' You might be a rude person if . . . .. . . you charge onto the elevator before others get off. .. . . you begin an apology with, "I'm sorry if you were offended."

It's Thanksgiving and I wanted a nice peaceful day to enjoy my family, friends, and good food. Background.... DH, Ben, has been going out 3 or 4 times every evening to "take a walk". I was suspicious, because this is a man who is far, far,*FAR* from slim, likes to eat chocolate éclairs and...

It's 11 at night here. There's a raging thunderstorm outside. It's Nathan's birthday - the front door bell went as the parents of one of Nathan's mates turned up to collect her son. It is *evil* out there. Cue one very wet, very cold, very bewildered dog on my doorstep! The dog has a name tag on -...

It is with great joy that I announce the newest addition to the household. Her name - just recently decided - is Matareka, which means charming, cheerful and loving. All of which describe her to a tee. She is mostly tabby but is while along the legs and on the stomach and around the neck. I had...
