The best pic of Shmogg I've ever taken: http://www.angelfire.com/mt/yowie/images/Shmoggleberry.jpg Be warned, its big (~350kb). I'm quite amazed that at 15 (or thereabouts) he's as handsome as ever. If only I aged as well..... Yowie

Vernon's just answered a ring at the front door. One grateful dog owner again - with a bouquet of roses and a bottle of wine as a thank you for looking after her dog. How lovely! Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame &...

Thank you all for being so patient and supportive while I was worried sick about Frank. Of course, as it turns out, there was nothing to worry about, really. Frank is still acting strange. I think it's because he has something sticking to under his tail, near his bum. It doesn't smell, so he...

Tomorrow Bonnie and Clyde have their second birthday - is this the start of the terrible two's? Happy Birthday B&C may all your birthday wishes come true. Your first slave Lois --

Hi All, Just a quick note to rain on a few parades... I'm not much of a baseball fan any more, but there are just some teams you love to hate. Having grown up with most of the world hating my home team, I figure I'm entitled to hate a few of my own. Lets hope Boston's current owner needs a few...

Rocky usually comes in about 9. About once a week, when the weather is nice, he stays out all night. So, I wasn't really worried when Rocky didn't show up this evening. When the late news came on they forecast rain overnight and tomorrow, so I looked out and sure enough the ground was wet. I went...

Last week, the one horrible neighbor was finally evicted. You would think that would be the end of it, wouldn't you? But no, he had not made plans (in spite of plenty of warning) for his "stuff", so he and his buds hung around most of the time for several days, until it rained and ruined anything...

I'm sorry, but I have to chime in here. I've read helen s' post about the poor wet dog who is 100 miles from home (according to the tag, although who knows if the owners kept the tag up to date). People. Please. Keep your pets inside. Or at least in an enclosed area where you know where they...

Ok, the pic is up! It's in Catslaves...Hoomins...We Met folder or the direct link is http://tinyurl.com/54pmz I'm sorry I didn't think to get pics with Otis and Chester too, I guess my mind just went blank from all the excitement of meeting Susan :-) They are both adorable cats, very big...

I know I have to make the decision myself, but I'd like to collect some opinions before I do so. Here's the situation. Since Skeeter went to the Rainbow Bridge, Lindy has been an "only cat". She seems to like that, which isn't too surprising. She joined the family when Skeeter had been hear for...

Cali has been trying to lose weight for about a month. (OK, we're trying to get Cali to lose weight and she's doing her best to stay fat). She's been begging for food, doubling up on her meat portions (not all bad), stealing Smokey's food and trying to get different family members to feed...

Pestiferous as in particularly bothersome, teasing, persistent, demanding, inconvenient, etc - Chessie is absolutely determined to sit on me (any spot!) when I'm at the computer. Obedient slave that I am, it works 99 times out of 100 and on the rare occasions when persistence fails, she sits on...

I just bought one of those little pots of grass advertised as a "digestive aid" and noticed it had catnip too. A little too late. I now have two raving lunatic cats who hopefully will not continue puking on everything in sight. TBird ---- and hopefully won't set fire to the carpet with sheer...

What any observant cat slave could have told the experts... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/3956833.stm "Cats suffer stress, experts say Cats can suffer from stress-related illness like humans, a study by animal experts suggests. Rivalry with another cat is the biggest source of feline...

It rained most of the night here and the fog is thick this morning. Billy came in a while ago carrying a soaking wet, dead chipmunk, and for the last half-hour or so he's been tossing it around so violently that he has finally had to take a rest. At the moment he's laying near my feet clutching...

Many people seek new occupations and money-making schemes This set me on a bizarre train of thought: - cat-related ventures which are doomed to failure from the start by the very nature of the little darlings. I've thought of a few, and perhaps you can dream up others. CAT OBEDIENCE SCHOOL - This...

"Marina" wrote in message ... Frank is home but he seems sort of dazed. He's very hoarse, so I suspect he has been yowling a lot today. :o( He tries to complain to me, but can only manage a croak. I don't like taking him to the vet...
