Cat Five's Purrday by
Lesley
.. Tonight she'll get
a special salmon treat (the real stuff, not the stuff from a tin) as we
celebrate her "purrday" (real birth date unknown). When we adopted her, the
vet estimated her age as 3 years old, so today Five turns five ;)
Happy Purrday! And I bet she just loves the...

Kibble tricks & quibbles by
Pat
I do a lot of my grocery shopping at little stores like those you can find
all over the Ozarks that sell "discount" foods - e.i. dented cans, off
brands, stuff that's almost past its "sell by" date, etc. Amazing how much
it saves me.
Sometimes they have premium pet foods like Iams for way less...

Purrs to all in need by
kilikini
I have been so busy lately and I haven't had much computer time. Every
chance i get to log on, there are at least 400 messages. So, if I've been
neglectful of purrs in need, I'm sending some out to all.

shocks from mice? (OT) by
Pat
I am losing my mind, or are there other people who sometimes feel electrical
hits in the hand from the computer's mouse.
Please, folks, don't be kind and say you have felt this if you have not. Be
honest. I need to know if it's time to call the guys in the white coats to
come and take me away to...

cats hate a changes in a big way by
yepp
This week I had some renovations, painting done in my home and took the
cats to Petsmart for boarding while this was being done. Picked them
up Tuesday night and all went well with the boarding except the people
lost a screw from my cat carrier and it took a while to find that.
They did offer to...

update on Pat's videos by
Pat
I've been tracking the number of visitors to my video web page. So far, 43
unique hits, about half a dozen of which originated outside the USA.
The 'sold' items now appear in a different color of text on the page,
however, one customer wanted to me to pick some tapes and so those titles
have not...

Snowball is 3 today: Pic by
Exocat
And what a mature guy he is: or thinks he is, but he couldn't resist an
attack of the Zoomis last night and "chase" with claudius the
hoolikitteen is still a regular feature.
Snowball's fitted in to his promotion slot of grumpy middle owner, so
sadly vacated by Pericles, extremely well. Every so...

Urgent shoulder riding needs by
Dan M
When Amelia was a little kitten she figured out that riding on shoulders
was a lot of fun. Whenever Nancy or I got out of the shower we could count
on having to drape a towel over our shoulders and pick up a shoulder
kitten.
When we adopted Tabitha it didnt' take her long to discover the wonders...

tail chasing up high by
Monique Y. Mudama
No pictures =/
I've never seen Oscar chase her tail. Last night, while we were
watching TV, I heard some odd noises and turned to look.
Not only was Oscar chasing her tail ... she was doing it on the very
top of her cat tree, which can't be much more than a foot on each
side!
I half expected to...

Fat cat to be "featured" on Ripley's (=my idea of abuse) by
MaryL
Please look at this page: http://tinyurl.com/krqwr
The article describes a cat that is between 46 and 50 pounds and "boasts a
thickset 33-inch waistline." He eats 30 pounds of food each week! The
owner claims that he is healthy, despite remarks that "he's a waddler" and
"not much for running." ...

Thinking about Baby by
jmcquown
Baby was a cat. It was 1974 and I'd sit out on the driveway at my parents
house as the sun was going down. This cat started coming around; I called
her 'Baby'. She was a grey striped tabby; very skinny. I suppose you'd
classify her as feral since she didn't ever have a home. She lived in...

Miranda has a very long tail. This can be a Good Thing, but it can also
be a Bad Thing. just now, Miranda was on the top level of the cat tree,
and Caliban was under her on the next level. Miranda's tail dangled over
the side, and of course Caliban couldn't resist it. He batted it. This

Does anyone else have a cat that does this?
This morning I gave them IAMS wet food for the first time and I know it

Wrong day to lose the camera! by

I can't find my camera today or you'd be seeing a very cute pic, of seven
kitties crowded around a flowerpot, all munching on living green grass that
I just dug up from the yard and planted for them in the house.
