A little while ago I was playing with Spot and Sammy. I was sitting on the bed dangling string toys while they played on the respective sides of the bed. Anyway, Spot finally caught hers, and was on her back watching the tip of the pole when something caught her attention. Yep, she noticed the...

Just a short update about Spot and her kits. I haven't heard anything about Spot's three boys, but am sure they are doing fine in their new homes. You probably remember that two of them went to my vet, and the third to one of his calients. I get updates on Cali, the little girl who went to live...

Forgive me for doing this but someone has given me Spores, sigh. http://www3.sympatico.ca/spore/wip/Cubes.html Bev -- The email of the species is more deadly than the mail.

I had a bad night last night. My mom has cancer and I'm so worried. I broke down when hubby and I went to bed. `Guess I needed a good cry. Anyway, I told hubby to please let me sleep in this morning. As I started to "come to" today, I called out to hubby to see if he was inside (because it was...

A few months ago I bought a new couch and chair. There have been some complaints from the kitties because the old couch had a skirt and the new one is open underneath. Hiding places have been rearranged. The old couch was kind of lumpy to nap on any way but face up. This new one is very...

Spooky dies overnight. I buried him this morning - it was raining gently. -- T.E.D. )

When I got home from work, Spooky was on the patio, alive, but not exactly well. He's weaker than he was, not eating much, and currently dozing on the bed in his usual spot. Oh, and Siegfried was outside screaming his little head off. My guess is that he pushed through the flap, discovered it...

I took Spooky to the vet today (an intestinal parasite problem) and was informed that he has lost weight and teeth, and has a heart problem. I think he's 14, the vet thought he was 5 when I first brought him in for neutering, 13 years ago. I suspect he will be the second of the three pre-move...

Sunday we had a cook-out with Dennis's daughter, her boyfriend, thier two daughters and his ex-wife. While we were sitting outside Tippy was sitting looking out the music room door looking sad and weowing. I went in and got him, put him on his leash and brought him outside. He was wondering around...

My neighbor gave my name to a friend of hers who was helping with two kittens. When she called, she told me that *her* neighbor had rescued two beautiful little kittens from the road. The mother had been killed, and she was caring for the kittens until they were "old enough" to be released, but...

Back on Halloween 2016, the first post I read upon subscribing to this newsgroup was posted by Joy, who told us about wanting to strip her bed to wash the sheets only to find one or both of her cats sleeping on the bed every time she looked and deciding to wait. Right now, I know just how she...

My kitties used to eat kibble in the morning and gooshy at night. The last few months, due to the fact i'm still unemployed, i've been having to feed them kibble at night, which has gotten me many dirty looks. When I went on vacation a few weeks ago, I knew they would miss me, so I bought a box...

I am the slave of slaves. We have a nice new bag of presciption food for Philip. I was concerned about it at firdst as he has no teeth. Little did I know. He was trying hard to steal the other's dry and in a rush a dipped in, got a handful, and brought it forth. Greedy Fella grabbed my hand...

New toy for the Fabulous Four! Went to the building supply and got a 12"x4' sonotube, then to a carpet store where they gave me remnants and some leftover glue when I explained what I was planning. The four now have a carpet lined tunnel where they play and nap. May build 1 or 2 more. Total...

Neither of our cats respond to catnip. In fact, both seem to regard it as noxious. Tonight I discovered, quite by chance, Spock's drug of choice - bleach. We don't use much bleach because we have a septic waste treatment and large quantities of bleach kills the septic and makes it smell much...

Okay, times are tough and finances are tight. But sometimes you just gotta splurge on something the furry master might like, right? Since Persia loves to hide in dark corners in the closet, I thought she might like this...

Another of those "who is training who?" situations... I make coffee the Turkish way, using a conical copper pot with a long handle over a gas stove. It makes a distinctive clank of copper against iron. Almost every time I do this, I look round from the stove and there is Splodge standing on a...

I don't get this. Look at the pictures of Splodge, Marblecake and Marblecake's kittens on my website: http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/Cats/ It doesn't look very likely to me that Splodge could be the father. The kittens tend to associate in pairs that look alike - Gerald and Poppy, and Eccles and...

Today takes the cake for Brio HRS (Her Royal Splattiness). I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. 8-) Picture cute calico Brio, poised on a table topped with newspapers, crouching and calculating the distance to the top of the 5 ft. high pier chest with the TV on top about 4 feet away. She takes her...
