Scooter's great adventure by
dgk
I was working outside the house after the hurricane passed, putting
back the patio furniture, and I had the glass sliding door from the
Florida room to the yard open. I rarely use that door and never leave
it open, but the sliding screen door was closed. I didn't realize that
it was possible for a...

Buffy and I are Fine by
jmcquown[_2_]
Comcast was slow catching up with restoring their online service. Buffy
and I are fine, thanks!
The wind was pretty scary in the middle of the night (last Saturday)
when the hurricane came through. The wind was soughing. I love that
word. It was soughing through the trees. I have to tell...

Any news from Jill and Buffy? by
MaryL[_2_]
Has anyone heard from Jill and Buffy?...or news about Pawleys Island?
The only thing I saw on the news about Pawleys Island is that they have
lost cell phone service. I hope we will see more details, and hopefully
good information.

Update on Marlo and Matthew by
dgk
We got very very lucky and the hurricane stayed far enough off the
coast to cause us no problem at all. It hit mostly Thursday evening
and I could have played tennis on Friday morning but all the wusses
refused to show up to play. It was a bit windy. So I went back home.
Thursday evening was a fair...

Marlo returns? by
dgk
Not the way we were planning it, which was Mom keeping Marlo
indefinitely. But we have a big hurricane bearing down on us and,
while we don't think it will hit us directly, it's going to be bad.
Mom doesn't want to stay at her house alone, and I want to be in mine
since I have three cats to keep an...

Duffy's physical exam by

Duffy had his physical exam today. TED said Duffy "failed his vision
test" but everything else is great. (If any of you don't know Duffy's
background, he has been blind since birth. LOL. He is my little wonder
cat.) TED also said he has already outlived all of his compatriots and

Marlo progress report by
dgk
Marlo went to the vet yesterday and the vet somewhat reluctantly
allowed me to remove Marlo's soft Elizabethean coller - the blue
dress. He wasn't thrilled with the level of fur regrowth on her
abdomen but figured that because the probable cause of the
overgrooming was anxiety over the feral at my...

Not one of my better days by

This was not one of my better days. I had my physical therapy, which
went okay. The therapist made two appointments for next week (I already
have one for tomorrow) and said something about starting some different
treatment after that. My neck hurts more now than it did earlier, which...

Red dot junkie by

I've created a red dot junkie! I was buying some things at the Dollar
Tree the other day. While I was standing in the checkout line, I
noticed some little laser pointers. I used to have one years ago, and
one of my RB cats was crazy about it, so I bought one to see how my
current cats would...

Clear Sticky Plastic by

Buffy gives me fits when I try to clip her claws. I don't really
understand it. When I first adopted her she was fine with it. She just
sat in my lap, docile as can be. Clip, clip, clip. Easy peasy. I
thought wow, this is going to be a breeze! Until she turned back into a
cat again and...

Post Office Cat by

Not officially. I went to the Post Office to buy some stamps. Yeah, I

Question Regarding Orange Tabby's by
jmcquown[_2_]
Granted, Buffy is only my second cat. She's my first orange tabby.
She's about 7 years old (best guess).
Question: do orange tabby's get darker as they get older?
I ask this because her fur seems to be much darker than it was last year
when I adopted her. Looking at old pictures it seems she...
