Dangit, I just checked, it wasn't Lewe. It's not Marina. And I think it's Hans but he's relatively new... Wasn't there *somebody* that lived in Norway around here??? Grace baffled and sleep deprived

Hello all, Shocking news this weekend. I was passing through the UK on the way back to Hong Kong. It seems that Min went off her food last week and was diagnosed very quickly with lymphatic cancer. She has tumours on her kidneys and probably elsewhere. The cancer is inoperable, but there is a...

Could I get a personal purr or two? I'm soooo frustrated! I stupidly attempted to install a demo program yesterday that ate my hard drive...well at least most of it. The good news is I had a back up and I was preparing to move from an older computer to a new one (office system). I'm frustrated...

Purrs once again for all in the state of Florida. This morning's forecast path for Hurricane Ivan (currently a stronger storm than either Charley or Frances) has the state in the center of a south-to-north track. They're already doing mandantory evacuations in the Florida Keys. Purrs also to...

I don't post on here very often, but wanted those of you not on FB to hear this from me: Weeble is 16. Has his annual cold, but for the first time I am very worried over it. He's not wanting to eat, losing weight. We are getting several syringes of puree gooshy food into him a day (along with...

I posted a photo of kitten No. 6 in Annie's photos in . I'm sure this one is a little girl. She looks like a shorthair to me. I'm wondering if my DD is confusing kitten fuzz with a longhair. Maybe the other kittens are not longhair after all? What do you think? Will they...

Marina wrote: There were a lot of d*gs out at the same time. Nikki mostly ignored them, but when she saw these two big shaggy things (I don't know dog breeds), she hunched down and stared at them with fascination. Suddenly she tried to set off towards them. I caught her up with the leash (I...

Persia was probably 3 years old when she adopted me. The vet guessed, based on looking at her teeth. So that would make her now 5-1/2. I've noticed when she rolls over on her back, she has grey (white-ish) fur on her belly. Her front paws also seem to be getting a tad lighter. Is my chubby...

I have a stray cat quarantined here tonight. Long story, but the kitty has some obvious health issues and is quite thin. She has an appointment with TED tomorrow to evaluate just what is going on with her. She is a longhaired tuxedo girl and is a very sweet, affectionate cat. Unfortunately, I...

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...

Things never go the way one expects them to go. Today was the day I opened the door to Koala's room. It was open for several hours. During that time, Pickles twice stuck her head in the doorway and meowed. Koala stayed in his hidey-hole. It's a good thing that's all that happened, because I...

Ok kids, Rob says that this is one of my best writing efforts. I;m rather proud of it, but I want your opion and/or to brag about my work. So don't be kind, tell me what you think. Pam S. Adoption Blues Nameless (any cat in a shelter): SHUT UP IN THERE!! Kittens! You’d think they were...

This post contains some parts that are sad to read, but mostly this is about an ongoing issue (ie, disagreement) I have with a friend and her irresponsibility with her dog. This friend of mine has had her dog for about 7 years. He's a wonderful dog and I'm pretty attached to him. My issue is with...

I had possums and Mom coon and babies up last nite eating at the feral food bowl...smelled Mr. Peppy La Phew...but thankfully he didn't join in the feast!:-) Liz "Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Well, I've gotten used...

Great news! Maybe there's more progress ahead... :) -- Victor M. Martinez http://www.che.utexas.edu/~martiv

Catnipped was rushed to the emergency room on Thursday around noon. 10:30PM Thursday night they found out a portion of her intestine had died due to no circulation. By midnight she was being operated on and had two and a half feet of intestine removed. She has infections in her abdomen, blood...

My little grey tabby Cheeks loves to have her belly rubbed. She is the first cat I have ever had that likes this. It was not something she revealed to me right away when I adopted her in 2001 at age 2. She had been with us for about three months when one night during our nightly petfest when I was...

Pit2nya will be going in to Radio-Cats on Monday for radioactive iodine treatment for her hyperthyroid. We'll be driving her back home on Thursday. She will not be allowed in our bedroom for 2 weeks, but we can pet her, albeit wash our hands more. At least no 2 x per day pilling, a permanent...

I wish there were kitty service animals who could do things like this... Are there? Or are felines too independent to make good service animals? (though the Power of Purr is a pretty good service in and of itself) http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/10/29/canine.caller.ap/index.html Dog saves woman's...

Update Caley has a burn in her mouth which is treatable and is being treated :-) Thanks for all the purrs etc for Caley & Priscilla. Cheers, helen s ~~~~~~~~~~
