I had an unannounced visit from my younger brother yesterday, complete with his children Charlotte (5), Thomas (3), and Alexander (13 months.) I answered the doorbell and there they were! Andrew (my brother) said "You're babysitting.." My heart sank, but fortunately he was joking. Individually...

Yowie, how is the weather looking for your wedding day? do hope it is more spring like now than it was a couple of weeks ago. All the very best to you and Joel for a long and happy life together. Hope the day is just purrfect! Lois and Ken

We have just booked a cruise to Alaska and hope to meet members of the group who might be unlucky enough to be in our path lol. Here it is. We leave New Zealand on the 1st August and fly to San Francisco for 3 days then onto to Vancouver for three days then do the two week cruise ending at...

I love this photo I got of her inside her little crackle sack: http://i62.tinypic.com/2mn4uvq.jpg Jill

Hi, For all of you who don't know me I am John, Kajikit's DH. This all came about when everybody gave her advice about intergrating Tessie into the house. Realise by house I mean apartment. I am of the opinion that the intergration needs to happen fast and that we need to let the girls sort it...

Actually Smokey is selfish, but what do you expect from a Kat. Grumpy old bill just had a knee replacement on Monday, which means I can't do some of Smokey's favourite things, snuggling on the floor, bathing on the floor, etc.. I've tried to tell her that dad hurt his knee and he can't bend...

Jody... bless his little heart, had to travel to Milan yesterday on a business trip. He'll be there a full six days. No, he's not going to have time to tour, that would have put him over for two weeks instead of just the one. It's all business. But, that's another story. This one is about a small...

Thea & Bono returned to their winter quarters this weekend, after more than two months at their summer residence. My parents brought them in the car and they had an uneventful 10 hr drive, cats sleeping - they know when it's The Long Drive and hardly bother to come out when they are offered to...

Hi all - Just to let you know that baby Babaneena (Figaro!) is still doing OK, taking a bit of time to get the feeding amounts right - too much seemed to be causing tummy upsets, and too little causing much mewing and searching for the milk! However she is still with us and every day is a bonus for...

Can someone tell me the cure? I can't afford to get very ill right now. It just happened an hour ago. Caught the little bugger in the act but too late to stop it biting.

Ever wondered what your name would be if you were a cat? Try the Fluffy Kitty Name Generator: http://rumandmonkey.com/widgets/toys/namegen/64/ I am Nightmare Perriwinkle. Yeah, sounds about right. Yowie

Puurs to you that your writing block disappears! I wish you all the best! "Singh" wrote in message ... I've been busting my onions with writing projects for quite a while. It is my dream above dreams to be a full time writer, to be able...

OK, I worked up the courage to compose an email asking for a salary review (yesterday). I haven't heard back from my bosses (the chairman of the board and the President/CEO). I think I made a pretty good case for why I need and deserve a raise, but with these people you never can tell what...

Hi Everyone!! Sassafras needs to have her teeth cleaned and two of them pulled out because of cavities and I am really nervous about it. Are there any questions I should ask the vet that you wouldn't normally think of? I remember reading here a long time ago about a brand of anesthetic that was...

I sent Smudge over the Rainbow Bridge this morning. She came to me with her mum as a foster cat approx 14 years ago. When she first arrived she sat in a corner, she wouldn't eat and we were really worried about her. After a few days I started to feed her by syringing food into her mouth...this...

It was just beginning to smell in my living room tonight, so I knew the mouse was back there somewhere. I pulled out my couch and there it was under the heat baseboard. Poor thing. :( It obviously died of injuries inflicted by Smudge. The place where I found it would have been inaccessible to the...

DH would like to attend (as a spectator) a several-day motorcycle racing event in California this summer, about 1800 miles and a mountain range away. He would like to get there on his sportbike, which is his first bike and which he has owned since last summer. The longest ride he's ever done is...

Anode and Cathode http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=849534&l=147b6&id=619485718 They have not yet met the cats. But Cathode was very vocal in her comments about the sound of next door's tractor :-)

ok we have another kitten that showed up a couple of weeks back, beautiful white long haired Siamese mix, she is a true looker and a total and complete lap fungus at about 12 weeks. she had on a flea collar so we assumed she just had the misfortune of having stupid people who didn't know she was...

Teri's Clowder in order of acquisition: Mouse is the only one of the current cats who arrived as a kitten. My sister's housemate came home in the wee hours of the morning, somewhat the worse for wear :) and heard a kitten crying. He was afraid...
