*tears* I'm crying because a cat lost her one true love. How "group-ish" is that and who else on this blessed earth would understand it and NOT be a member here already? This story is right up there with Shakespeare :) How beautiful Catherine. Grace "CATherine"...

We only have three furkids but they're all ailing. Speckles is fighting deteriorating kidney, Hobo has diabetes, now Sandy has a liver problem (enzymes so high they're off the chart). Tests have ruled out hepatitis, Cushing's, etc., and apparently the only possibilities left are hepatitis...

The poplars flank the back of our property - tall sentinels watching over us for most of our lives. They were here long before Ted built our house for us. There was a long line of them, macrocarpas (an evergreen conifer of New Zealand), too, stretching along behind the twenty odd houses of our...

Last night, I prepared to change the light bulb in the hallway. I set up a ladder under the lamp, turned away to get the new light bulb, and turned around to this. http://tinyurl.com/2kdwv -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at...

I had my patio screened on Monday. I did not screen the bottom so the cats could still come and go. The screen is not for bugs but a fiberglass screen that is more for blocking sunlight. OK that is all stuff I said before. The cats seem to love it. They can sit behind the screen and see but not...

Mad March Hare that is! I was putting out some food for the birds this morning and there it was, in the field only a couple of hundred yards away, running around quite happily - a hare. It's my first Mad March Hare of 2004 :-) The pheasant seems to have taken residence under a large bush in the...

She's such a funny girl :) I was lying on the sofa watching television the other night. I bring one of my bedpillows in to prop up and rest my head on and lie on my side. Persia was up on the arm of the sofa next to my pillow/head. Suddenly I felt her pressing into my hair with her face. ...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 When I got my current two cats, Katie and Cinders, last June, Katie was a bit of a food-hog, and rather plump as a result. Over the last three months or so, I had noticed that Katie was no longer so plump, but her fur, and the fact that she has never...

Iwould like to ask if anybody can help me choose a very affectionate pair of kittens. I am not too fussed on breed, but I do like the look of both the British Shorthairs (especially the bi-colours and points). However, my daughter has told me here friend has a Bombay which is exceptionally...

Tanada is currently sleeping on the top of my monitor, after shedding fur everywhere and glaring at me in disbelief. I did it again. I made the world end. She may not forgive me for a while, this time. As you all know, we are to blame for anything that happens in the feline world that they...

Snow cover is gone, had a big wind yesterday, must of stirred up some crap in fields. Allergies kicked in yesterday. I go for years without flus or colds but change of seasons always stirs up my sinuses. Keep taking Benadryl and that makes me sleepy. Feel like a wasted life. Head feels as big as...

Our temps have gone up to almost 70 degrees! The windows are open, the trees and grasses are just now wakening, and the days are getting a tad longer... Suppose to be this weather all week. Yeah! My cats accompanied me to the mailbox this morning after much coaxing and were rolling around on...

Does *anyone* here have an experience with females in heat. You all remember Biskit. I was waiting till she got built-up and less emaciated before I took her in to be spayed. A couple of days ago I noticed she was *real* friendly. Then she started yowling and just doesn't stop. It must be that she...

Still sick here, travelling side show. Friday, burning eyes, sneezig, Saturday runny nose, Sunday sinus congestion, today sore throat, getting old. I wonder if the girls know I grew up in a sardine packing town. They like to pack themselves into sinks and chairs. Together forever, forever...

I took Bruiser to his check up a few minutes ago. He was fine. We weighed him and he only weighed 10.4 pounds! The vet tech couldn't believe it either. So we weighed him again. That's exactly what Maya weighed. I knew he was skinny under all that fur but he felt a lot heavier than Maya when I...

Felix was doing the "I'm about to hurk" bit on the living room carpet and I managed to get the wastebasket under and in front of his furry face in time . Of course, I suspect there'll soon be a b*st*rd cat trick by way of payback for foiling him this time. :-) -- "The universe is quite robust in...

Bumper stickers in Latin (who said Latin was a dead language?). I'm not putting an OT on this messge, because there is a cat in there somewhere. Just read on. Di! Ecce hora! Uxor mea me necabit! God, look at the time! My wife will kill me! Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre? Is...
