I was watching TV and heard a loud conmotion coming from the dining room, like someone was charging against the door that leads to the car port. I got up and saw the neighbor's cat attacking Luna through the glass. I chased our cats away from the door and got out to chase Max away. I scared him off...

See all the pictures I've been posting to abpa at http://photos.yahoo.com/kchuplis Most of you know my cats Sugar, Grant and Pearl through postings. I haven't gotten around to naming all mom's cats photos yet. Suffice to say the grey and white is Petrus (the long limbed and monkey toed) age 1.5,...

It's cool here this morning with a touch of autumn in the air. Bonnie expects home comforts and warmth is at the top of her list. She began her performance the moment I stretched out in the lazy-boy chair with the Sunday newspaper. She started up with ear-splitting yowling. "More food," I...

No, still not mine. My niece's Russian Blue, Kira, had her kittens during last night. She had five of them, which is apparently a lot for a RB. Usually they seem to get two or three kittens per litter. I'm dying to see them, but will wait until next weekend, when everyone's recovered from the birth...

As I'd mentioned before, at the end of 2003 I'd quit my job to be able to work full-time with my DH in his office. What this means, aside from no longer having a regular paycheck g, is that I get to spend lots more time with the office cats, Ozzy and Tiger. Ozzy is lion-colored, solid sandy...

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It was a tough night last night, I didn't sleep much. I kept remembering watching poor Max get run over by the truck. Your words of encouragement have helped me feel a little better today. I met Max a few weeks after we moved into our house. He would come...

We are now almost three weeks into our life with this adorable, strong-minded, willful, destructive, affectionate, gorgeous little lady. The only problem we have, since she has been declared healthy and able to join the cat society (beside picking up broken shards here and there!), is with her...

I have not travelled anywhere since well before 9/11 and well before Persia demanded I take her in. I'm thinking of taking a trip for a week in May and already I'm worrying over what to do with her. Persia hates other cats. She gets all puffy and bristly tailed just seeing one on our patio. So...

Thank you to all of you wonderful people for your purrs and prayers. After almost 3 months the doctors finally have diagnosed my son's medical problems. It's GALL BLADDER disease. Grrrrrrrr! Why couldn't they have found the problem back in November instead of scaring us all with that stupid...

I get regular promotional e-mails from Doctors Foster & Smith, and I got one today that said they have a compounding pharmacy. They listed several yummy flavors (liver, mmmm good) but what impresed me the most, though I would imagine all meds can't be done this way, is that you can get transdermal...

Something just isn't right about this cat. Even though the vet pronounced her in relatively good shape, I just don't think he's right. She is too mopey, too lethargic. He did give her the first round of vaccinations and wormed her, so I'm going to wait a bit, since she is eating well, and see if...

Pussykins, at the age of nearly 21, was pushed gently into "cat heaven" by our vet today. She had not been eating for nearly ten days and the vet finaly said that she had nothing left to offer her. We agreed to give her the "final" injection and terminate her suffering. I felt such a traitor as she...

Tonight while I was standing at the stove cooking supper, DH walked up to me and thanked me for doing something-or-other. I replied "I gotta take care of my Dave," and after a few seconds I felt a little head bonking into the back of my leg, clearly saying "Me Too!". Of course, we all know that...

It snowed in Austin last night! The garden is (almost) covered in white and it's gorgeous! I'll put some pictures online later today. The cats are all indoors staying warm. It's supposed to warm up to the 50's (10's in celcius) so it won't last. In the meantime, Tom and I are enjoying a rare treat:...

I've been off-line since the end of January, and still cannot get online with my computer. Euwck, I'm going through newsgroup withdrawal. The same day that we got rear-ended by a looky-loo watching the aftermath of a three car accident, I got home and tried to go on-line. Of course my mouse...

Hi guys! I have a question... How much water should a cat drink a day? I have a cat health book here that says 1oz per pound o' body weight. That would put The Dust at about 13oz. His bowl holds 12oz and he has never even come close to consuming even 1/2 of it in 24 hours ever. So now he is...
