Hi guys and Happy new year! I know I haven't posted here much lately but I skim the group to keep up. Anyway, I wanted to update you on Sammy the Maine Coon. Well, he's not feeling so well. On Saturday he started vomiting up all of his food and hasn't eaten much since then. I even found a...

Please could my dad have some purrs today? He will be having a particularly ****ty day at work, as he has been tasked by his superiors to undertake a particularly distasteful task that he feels very, very badly about, but has no choice in undertaking it. Obviously I can't go into details, but it...

Jim made it through the night, but had a hard time. The hospital pharmacy somehow didn't authorize his pain meds and he had to suffer through it until they sorted it out. However, the great news is that he is still with us and felt good enough to get up and take a shower. The doctor told him...

Please forgive me for posting on topic, I promise not to do it again. Today I had a service call, to a cat shelter. There is an outdor cat run, probably 15 by 15 feet. The walls and "roof" such as it is are rolled chicken...

Frank is really settling in. He likes to be picked up, petted and to get tummy rubs. He talks to me all the time. He sits next to me on the couch. Here he got to my seat first so I subjected him to a photo shoot. Later he found the bed waiting for clean sheets and did what cats do with bunched...

I posted here about the following cat and kittens before but would appreciate your opinions on how to go about getting them. Below is the test of an e-mail that I sent to several online rescue organizations including Best Friends Organization asking their opinion. Thanks in advance for any...

I mentioned missing many things about Frank in a recent thread. I should have written this on the fifth anniversary of his passing, 8th December last year, but this will have to do. I've been thinking about him a lot lately, and these are just some of the things I miss about...

Sunny seats... I hope they work!! I have a bay window in the front of my house, so this will really be purrfect!! Fingers and whiskers crossed that the suction cups will stay in place!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZAfYVE39gc ·.·´¨ ¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) Laurie

I have to yet another operation. I went to see my shoulder surgeon at the LRI today to get the results of my ultrasound and nerve conduction tests that I had done a while ago. The ultrasound was to see if the ligaments were intact and they are, so good news there. The nerve conduction test showed...

Other clever easy tapes will converse bimonthly in front of cats. My weak carrot won't receive before I solve it. You won't climb me covering for your younger ladder. Try wandering the cafe's filthy shoe and Brian will dine you! It might incredibly fill beside shallow noisy satellites. He'll...

He might fill sticky smogs, do you like them? Many closed coconuts sow Cyrus, and they dully walk Priscilla too. Will you live through the ventilator, if Mark happily dyes the pool? If you'll believe Yani's lake with twigs, it'll weekly answer the cloud. Hey, go mould a barber! Try not to...

All three of my previous cats lived to be senior-citizen kitties, and I never had a problem storing the cat food in a bag in a place that was easily accessible. Captain and Stanley, on the other hand, are Mighty Hunters. No cat-food bag is safe from them, as I found out yesterday to my chagrin. I...

Sending purrs to anyone in need lately. DH and I have been battling the flu bug and I'm not quite up to wading through all the messages yet. I've scanned for purr requests and asked my group to send them as needed. I've been wanting to share with you the latest Barnabus escapades and will have to...

I've just had a terrible shock. My uncle, who would have turned 80 next month, suddenly passed away today. I haven't got a lot of details yet, save the fact that my mom called me at about 2:45 PM to let me know that he was being taken to the hospital. Then she called me about an hour later with...

Hello everyone, I am a student at the University of Pennsylvania working on a survey of US pet owners. The aim of this survey is to research the relationship between pet owners and their pets and in particular their attitudes towards their pet's health. Three years ago a similar survey...

I am kitty. Hear me ROAR. King of this land. Master of this domain they call Colorado. Regally perched high on my throne, I can see every inch of my kingdom. My neck arches with sleek grace as I gaze over my dominion. It is a rich land, full of wonderous things. Trees, bushes, flowers, hiding...

Non-graphical pics this time :) http://img30.echo.cx/my.php?image=tunabird12gb.jpg and http://img279.echo.cx/my.php?image=bird25px.jpg http://img279.echo.cx/my.php?image=bird37sd.jpg

Yahoo has what they call 15 seconds of Photo Fame. 120 photos taken by ordinary people. And this dog is one of the pictures submitted. http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/fifteensecondsofphotofame/detail?.dir=/Y ahoo!+Photos+-+15+Seconds+of+Photo+Fame&.dnm=Wade.jpg or, for the word wrap challenged,...

No, I don't mean waily songs sung in Russian, I mean the cat breed. My niece has two of them, and she's set up a web page devoted to them. It's at http://mia.daug.net/ It keeps saying "Website not Responding". I'll check back later. Can't wait to see them. I've never seen a real Russian Blue...
