No, she doesn't have a cold. I've been giving her weekly groomings with the Furminator. She's only my second ever cat but Persia sure didn't shed like Buffy does. OMG, it's awful! Fortunately she loves the Furminator grooming tool. She turns from side to side and purrs like crazy, rubs her...

Last night, it got down to 38 degrees at my place. At 11 pm, it was 52. Tonight at the same time, it was 43, so I expect it to get VERY close to freezing here. My small heater is already working hard, usually doesn't even come on til much later. And GLyN has been in, earlier, but when back...

3:45AM - I was awakened from a sound sleep (which doesn't happen every night) to the sound of howling. Buffy?! I turned on the bedside lamp, grabbed my glasses and my robe and went looking for her. I have never, ever, heard Buffy howl before. I found her staring out one of the the glass...

I love this guy! Happy Holidays, everyone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNfGVE-_rms Jill

If Boyfie has a digestive problem re pooing in the bath. His bath poos are kind of like cow pats with some form in them. But not good firm poos. He has always been clean in the house until recently. I am guessing that cowpat poos mean he cannot hold himself. I never tell him off about it, if...

Or duvet or whatever you want to call it... It's a bed cover. :) Buffy has never been one to burrow under a bedspread or a blanket or a towel. Tonight, for some reason, there is a lump under my bedspread. Yep, Buffy is curled up underneath it, having a snooze. :) That's the second of a couple...

Police were all about when a woman's body was found in the lakes where I take Lennie for his walk. Her family had reported to the police that they were concerned because she was missing. Too late to know why she drowned herself. I just wish that when people are desperate they would say so. ...

Happy birthday, Christina. -- Adrian

I got a laptop on Thursday. I needed a better computer than my old desktop running on XP as it just couldn't cope with Facebook rpca or Youtube, as it is unsupported by Microsoft and doesn't update Java. He is "well" annoyed because his default position is on my lap - every time I sit down he...

How on earth did she find all these? http://larsdatter.com/cats.htm I am going to use the organ-playing cat for a screen backdrop. Or perhaps the cat washing its bum: http://corsair.morganlibrary.org/icaimages/2/m232.201vb.jpg

Tweed, you've sometimes said that Boyfie could "eat for England," which has always struck me funny. So today I used that phrase with a friend, also American. I added the disclaimer that although I'm not British, I've never heard anyone say, "So and so could eat for America." :) Anyway, my...

Lennie the poodle is allergic to pretty well everything and now he has apoquel daily tablets. It's a fairly new anti-itch drug and it's working fairly well, but I would like to find it online a bit cheaper for his mummie, who spends most of her money on him.. It seems to be sold out everywhere...

It dawned on me that we used to have a Maine Coon resident here named Sammy, but mine is a male, short for Samurai. Anyway, he's been throwing up something horrible lately. He started pretty much after California Natural discontinued cat food and I was forced to switch the dry everyone nibbles...

Our cats really don't like this. We're on the edge of the storm-hit area, but it's been continuously wet and windy for a couple of days. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35014745 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-35015243 Doesn't help that the Forth Road Bridge has been closed due to a cracked beam...

Although I like it, I will probably only use it to read rpca facebook, which it is brilliant at. Otherwise I will use my old desktop(which is useless at that) to read Usenet rpca and do emails. which I'm doing now. I like this old machine more than my laptop :-) Tweed

I just laughed when I saw this on television, had to try to find it on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMH4xmOeKxc People who dress up their cats (and dogs) are crazier than I am. :) Jill

I'd seen one a few weeks ago across the road. This morning three cats were all staring out the Florida room at something, and I looked and saw a fox. That may be somewhat common in England but apparently it's starting to become common here in southern Florida. It was cute, and not much bigger than...

I don't think you have to log into Facebook to view this. If you do, I'm sorry. https://www.facebook.com/brightside/videos/793945354067543/ -- ღ.¸¸.✫*¨`*✶ Cheryl

I went to the store this morning and there was the prettiest little calico kitten sitting by the door. She couldn't have been more than 6 weeks old. Someone bought her a can of Friskies. :) She is obviously feral and wouldn't tolerate anyone getting near her. No amount of coaxing would get...

I got this from Your Daily Cute: http://www.yourdailycute.com/2010/05/mystic-cat-will-do-anything-for-treat.html Hee hee hee! Donna, Captain, Stanley, and Mini (all of whom would cheerfully do the same thing, if there were treats involved)
