I mentioned in my introduction that Tao was a clumsy climber and scavenger extraordinaire. He can and does open the countertop broiler and cabinet doors. Lastnight he outdid himsel, I came out during the night to find him on the cooktop, having pried the cover off a 10qt pot which was full of...

Please could Miss Lily Whiskers have some serious purrs? Some asshole shot her with an air pellet gun some time last week, and she is currently at TED's having X-rays and possibly an operation to remove a pellet. She came in last Friday, very grumpy and when I stroked her, she appeared very sore...

Hoomin note: I seem to have turned into a lurker lately. Just can't seem to keep up with the group. Stil thinking of you all and sending silent purrs, but not posting much as RL is keeping me busy. I kind of enjoyed my last posting of a clowder meeting, so instead of just posting an update on how...

OMGOMG!!!! I'm still laughing so hard. I was here at the computer when i heard a thump behind me. I turned to see Mischief pouncing on Imp for a kitty wrestling match. The camera was right in front of me so i snapped some photos..... PUT AWAY ANY FOOD AND/OR DRINK NOW!!!!!

My Bobby cat is finally home! He came back tonight, and for right now he is residing in a very large dog crate in my kitchen. He will be in a crate (I have a much larger one to put him in in the morning), until he gets done with his antibiotic, approx 2 weeks. They will check him over again, and...

Natasha visited her new TED last week. I picked this particular practice because they specialize in geriatric pets. Natasha lay limp on the exam table while TED gave her the minimum number of shots allowed by law (rabies only) and did his exam, only making growly noises when he moved to her...

I found this cool site called www.whatsthatbug.com People send in pics of "mystery" bugs, and the Bug Man identifies the bug for them. Here is the cricket page: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/crickets.html You can see that there are a lot of different crickets, and you can also see how different...

Betty, it seems, never *walks* anywhere, she always trots, runs, or even gallops, throughout the house. Every time we see her, now, we've commented on her zoominess. .... and it's become insert earworm warning here zoom zoom zomm.....

Hi all Am I not the only person who wants to spank so-called "Anonymous"? I suspect not- does anyoen have idea any how to stop this happening? Finally something more annoying than the Amazing Puppy Wizzard Cheers Lesley

I mean, gross! I absolutely hate and despise palmetto bugs (oversized cockroaches that can fly). This is the time of year when they really start trying to come inside because the temps are dropping. Not only did I find one in my bathtub earlier today but I just found one floating in...

Sorry I missed your call - my answering machine is really old and I can't hear it all that well, so I can't make out your phone number. Could you e-mail me your number? Dan

I was using Hills Prescription Diet t/d, from the vet because of the size of the pieces, to clean my cats' teeth. Does anyone know if there is a better oral care food out there??? I would prefer the best quality as well, but size is the most important! (I would only use them as treats, as I give...

Would someone with a TV and a VCR be willing to do me a small favor? Please tape CBS News for me, the show that has "Assignment America" as part of the program. I have no idea which news show it's on, as CBS has *THREE* half-hour news programs on in a row - one at 5, then one at 5:30, and another...

Tommy loves me so much. He heard me complaining about how some of the cats don't bury their poop properly, so he became the one-cat poop police force lately, burying other cats' poops so I don't have to do it. How sweet is that?

hey, this is the twenty-first century, and so...bye bye to sneezing so far as i know, i'm not allergic to my kitties Beauty & Gatto tho maybe by the 22nd century they'll do ragweed or whatever in heck it is that gets...

Several times I've posted here at RPCA about the adventures of Mooch, our little tuxie resident stray who shows up regularly on our veranda for meals (see the most recent thread, "Mooch gets friendly". Someone nicknamed "Treeline has asked several questions about him, and then today "Lesley" in the...

With Halloween coming up, best not to adopt out any black cats until November. Some people may want a black cat as a Halloween party prop and dump the cat later.
