Once upon a time she was a kitten and was adopted by a neighbour. She was happy there for a while. Her name was Lucky. It was a very chaotic family who thought they were kind to adopt homeless pets, but they didn't have a clue, several of their dogs got run over. They got a german shepherd cross...

So sorry to hear about Abby. It is always too soon to lose a friend. I'm glad you gave a new kitten a home.

OK, before I asked about minor infractions, ones that your cat, with saintly patience, is able to tolerate. Now I'm asking about major transgressions, which merited swift, merciless punishment. Like the time I made the mistake of singing "I Can't Give You Anything but Love, Baby" to Dante. ...

I know some of you here have one, do you like it? is it worth it and can it do anything beyond reading books? lee, just starting research

My brother is having to arrange around-the-clock care for my mom. He's got everything handled so far, except for someone to cover 11 PM to 8 AM. He has found someone he trusts that should be available, but he has no idea how much pay to offer. The person he is looking for will be responsible...

She is none too pleased with me right now, but the kitty shelter is a calmer place. Machinations have gone on discreetly behind my back, of which I knew nothing until yesterday. Seems that while I didn't have a chance to address the business in full with Shelter Boss until yesterday, she had a...

We started out for a walk earlier this evening and weren't more than 100' from the front yard when we were spotted by two orange tabby kittens sitting beside the road. They ran right up to us, purring a mile a minute and begging to be picked up. Both are skin and bone but Joey is the more...

As I've often mentioned here at RPCA, Mooch our resident stray has been with us for over four years now, accepting our food and hospitality on our veranda where he has a chair-bed we heat in winter. Then there's his "retreat", a padded basement window-well at the rear of our house. All these years...

For some reason this evening, I thought of a couple of cats I sat for around twenty years ago. They were a very fluffy Maine Coon brother and sister named Winston and Annabelle. Most of the time, they just crammed themselves into the same chair together, in a mirror-image configuration, and...

Welcome to you newbies. I'm sorry not to be a better neighbor, but I've been a little pre-occupied. My husband is in hospital and I've been worried about him. Yesterday I came home from the hospital and went to bed. I was so depressed. Rob was not responding. Not talking, moving, feeding...

Purrs and prayers for all who need them. A lot of real life Ss and Drama in my life so I am preoccupied with all of it and my own household worries. Take care everyone I be around as I can

He gets to go in the room with Mom tomorrow. His breathing is a bit rough but they are satisfied he is ok now. thank you all for your purrs and prayers.

Little Feet almost always comes to me for comfort and cuddles. Tonight I was in the bedroom and he was in the living room with Senyah. When the heavy, loud storms came through tonight, he went right to Senyah, burying his head in her arm, kneading her leg and purring between lightning bolts....

I got Amber a small step stool to help her get to her window seat. She used it right away. Now I will get another to help her get up on my bed. The poor old girl is getting lame (I know the feeling). ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N -...

In the space of two hours, a delivery went from excellent to surgery. He is here, by C section. Weighed in at 8lbs 4oz, 19 inches long. His poor Mom only weighed 95lbs 9 months ago and 115 today. The sperm donor is a walloping 6ft 4in and 250lbs. Mom is resting, baby in whatever they call...

A friend of mine lost his battle with alcohol. He was in terrible shape, and it broke my heart to see him like this. I talked to him, I called his parents, they talked to him, and I visited again. The third visit and umpteenth phone call, he finally picked up the phone to call a crisis...

The Grey Ghost escaped from my work computer. After much pain (much much pain) things are up and running again, although I lost everything that I hadn't backed up on the network drive. The good news is that I didn't lose anything critical because I had backed it up, the bad news is that I lost...

I will not be able to post or read here for at least two weeks, and maybe a month. Wishing all of you blessings for the good,healing for the sad, and laughter and lightness. Ginger-lyn

A couple of hours ago I heard loud cat screeching outside my building, so I went down to see what was going on. By the time I was 3/4 of the way down the stairs, Smudge met me on the stairs, going up. She was fine, but looking nervous, so I brought her in. I figured she had gotten into it with her...
