I posted a photo of kitten No. 6 in Annie's photos in . I'm sure this one is a little girl. She looks like a shorthair to me. I'm wondering if my DD is confusing kitten fuzz with a longhair. Maybe the other kittens are not longhair after all? What do you think? Will they...

I have a friend who has three cats, and while she was driving me to hospital the last time, I asked her whether hers liked catnip or not. She said two of them did, and one was absolutely mad about it. I told her that I'd bought Kitty & BF a catnip mouse (no interest) and then a catnip spray, which...

Second-best commercial ever! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7vXP3tHzhA Joyce -- The problem with cats is that they get the exact same look on their face whether they see a moth or an axe-murderer. -- Paula Poundstone

My little grey tabby Cheeks loves to have her belly rubbed. She is the first cat I have ever had that likes this. It was not something she revealed to me right away when I adopted her in 2001 at age 2. She had been with us for about three months when one night during our nightly petfest when I was...

I had possums and Mom coon and babies up last nite eating at the feral food bowl...smelled Mr. Peppy La Phew...but thankfully he didn't join in the feast!:-) Liz "Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Well, I've gotten used...

I have a stray cat quarantined here tonight. Long story, but the kitty has some obvious health issues and is quite thin. She has an appointment with TED tomorrow to evaluate just what is going on with her. She is a longhaired tuxedo girl and is a very sweet, affectionate cat. Unfortunately, I...

I wish there were kitty service animals who could do things like this... Are there? Or are felines too independent to make good service animals? (though the Power of Purr is a pretty good service in and of itself) http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/10/29/canine.caller.ap/index.html Dog saves woman's...

This post contains some parts that are sad to read, but mostly this is about an ongoing issue (ie, disagreement) I have with a friend and her irresponsibility with her dog. This friend of mine has had her dog for about 7 years. He's a wonderful dog and I'm pretty attached to him. My issue is with...

Catnipped was rushed to the emergency room on Thursday around noon. 10:30PM Thursday night they found out a portion of her intestine had died due to no circulation. By midnight she was being operated on and had two and a half feet of intestine removed. She has infections in her abdomen, blood...

Yoda is at the vets right now having his eye sewn shut. They're going to medicate the eye, pull the third eyelid over the eye, and then the outer lid, and leave it that way for 2 weeks to heal. On one hand I'm really encouraged that someone seems to actually know what to do. We have been...

Pit2nya will be going in to Radio-Cats on Monday for radioactive iodine treatment for her hyperthyroid. We'll be driving her back home on Thursday. She will not be allowed in our bedroom for 2 weeks, but we can pet her, albeit wash our hands more. At least no 2 x per day pilling, a permanent...

Don't know if you folks know, but terrorists in Russia are keeping over 300 people as hostages in a school, a fair percentage of those children on their first day. Its been going on for 3 days now, and the terrorists still haven't allowed food into the site. Besides cursing these cowards with...

His left ear canal is blocked by something, maybe cancer, maybe a big polyp. I know that he has something in his lungs based on a month old X-Ray, but he's had issues with his left ear for years and the vet thinks it could be a polyp. Whatever it is, it's blocking us from treating an infection...

I used to go to Chinese movies when I lived in a big city that had a Chinatown area. Most of them were "chop-socky" types but every once in a while they'd show a modern Chinese romance flick (so-so) or something else, and there was one in the "something else" category that I'd go see every time it...

This is both on and off topic, but anyway... Lately, a girl (no, woman) has more and more made it clear to me that she thinks I am the answer to her dreams. On Friday she told me in pure words. Of course I was flattered, because I like her very much, too, but... I just don't think I can do it. We...

I was woke up to some bad news about Rumble's Blood work. His Glucose level is 437 instead of a norm of 170. He is diabetic. I am going to have to go in next week and learn how to give him insulin 2 times a day. I am going to definitely need some help from the group on how to deal with it. I...

He seemed fine yesterday but I found him collapsed in one of the sleeping-spots on the stairs this morning. He was clearly not just sleeping. We rushed him to the animal hospital and the vet said that he probably had a heart attack during the night. He wasn't in pain but he was, as she said, never...

For ages, I’ve had cats in my lap while I sat in my recliner and watched TV in the evening. About 90% of the time I’d have both, although occasionally it would be just Pickles, and once in a while just Koala. Usually Pickles would come up first. She wouldn’t come up if Koala was already...
