Saturday night I had to get a cab and as it was a long journey I got talking to the driver and it turned out that he's a slave as well. Recently he noticed a neighbour's cat was ill, he thinks he'd eaten rat poision so he rushed kitty to the vets where it was touch and go for 5 days but kitty made...

I glanced through posts. Too many to read everything! Purrs and hugs for everyone who needs them. The trip was looooooooong. Got a call on my way there. My nephew was in an accident and my mom and his mother and my sister SAW it!!!! He's ok but it was pretty bad and his car is totaled. Mom got...

DW is going to do the honors/injustice and take the kids. The carrier for Mistletoe is upstairs in the main living area and Smokey's leash has been fetched from the garage. Missy: Uh-oh. The box! Gotta go hide. Ow! No Mom, please don't catch me by my tail. No fair. Aw, rats! She got me...

Very sorry about the length.... I know that many of you have had to take your masters to the emergency clinic at some time, so here's a view of what it's like to be on the tech staff. As I said earlier, I worked two shifts at the emergency clinic this weekend in addition to working two...

The heat wave broke some time during the night Friday. Up until this time the cats were either playing flat or bloated with all four legs sticking out at angles and all fur puffed out in order to get some air between the hairs. It was terrifying (ok, it wasn't but you had to be here to believe...

Some of you might know of her - she has posted here a few times - CountryStuff. She could use some purrs for her broken heart. Her husband just passed away suddenly this week. His obituary mentioned their cat MoonShadow in the list of family that is left behind. -- Cheryl

Senyah was out to bible study yesterday, and it was nearly time for her to get home. Which means nearly time for me to start supper. So I look out the door to see if she's already home. I open the door and see about a dozen wasps walking around the top of the door. Yikes! So I go back inside,...

This morning I was separating out the parts of the Sunday paper into two stacks - read and don't read. Dulce Mae stretched out on the don't read stack, so I either lifted the paper under her to add to the stack, resulting in the "greeblings hustle", or laid section on top of her, resulting in...

Do you ever dream about KITTIE? Here is my kittie dream I had last night: I had a dream last night that we got a 5th Kittie. In the dream, my dad got him because his owner had died in a fire and he had been burned in the fire and his owner had left $1400 in the bank for his care (all the owner...

Watched James Stewart in 'Bell Book and Candle' and the Siamese cat who was the 'familiar', Piewacket, purred up a storm. She and her big blue eyes and dark ear and tail markings:) Piewacket! Persia purrs up a storm, too. My friend Nancy says she's PURRRRRRING Uh, yeah. PURRSHA (giggling) ...

I groomed Scouty last night and noticed her fur is full of tiny white specks that look like little flakes of skin... do cats get dandruff? And if so, what do we do about it? I think that might be why she likes being petted and groomed so much - she probably itches!

Bonnie and Clyde spent a time sniffing the daffodils this morning. It's been a long, cold, wet winter but spring is in the air. Officially spring starts in New Zealand on 1st September but we won't be here to see it. We leave on a cruise on 25th August and will sail from Tahiti to Hawaii....

She refused her breakfast today and I was a bit concerned until I noticed that Boyfie was guarding a dead mouse that he had just caught. Well, that's what she wanted for her breakfast of course so I quickly gave Boyfie some crunchies in his bowl and he left the mousie. Which let KFC spring out...
