Jellicle Ball, 2017
Hi all! Sometime very long back, back enough that no one remaining
really remembers it except as historical trivia, Rec.pets.cats.community (RPCC) and this group split off. The two groups are very different now. RPCC is very much a storyboard' group now where pet owners post 'as' their pets. Sounds strange but it's also a lot of fun. Lots of little make believe adventures and things like that. No, I'm not trolling for new members! You either like that sort of thing or you don't. Welcome to drop in if you wish and it's a polite place like here. In addition to whatever other parties or whatnot that we might dream up, is the annual Jellicle Ball. This year will be the 22nd event. Officially it starts on 5 Oct and is being hosted by a tribe of lost kitties in Antarctica. A key part of the ceremony is to read the names of any pets (mostly cats and dogs but we've added ferrets and such before) that have passed over the bridge this year (along with any tributes to them that we may have). Are there any pets from the people here who should be added to the rolls? If so, I'll need them this weekend. Can reply here or to my email. Format we announce with is: Garland, House of Rennie Pixel, House of Abbey Cats Basically name and what you want for house (many use their last or first name). Let me know! Carol -- |

I remember the split, don't exactly remember why. I do recall being flamed once for posting there that it *felt like* Persia (RB 2014) had a temp of 109° or some such high number. I was chastized by someone who said if her temp was that high she'd be dead. Well duh! I was merely pointing out how uncomfortable I was with her sleeping right next to me. Like sleeping with a furry heating pad. That's when someone told me about RPCA. I guess it really has been at least 20 years ago. Wow. The two groups are very different now. RPCC is very much a storyboard' group now where pet owners post 'as' their pets. Sounds strange but it's also a lot of fun. Lots of little make believe adventures and things like that.

I don't care for "meow-speak" but see nothing about posting from the cats' point of view. I doubt there are many people here on RPCA who remember the adventures of 'The Mouser'. All the cats on the mythical ship had a job to do. Persia was the cook. In addition to whatever other parties or whatnot that we might dream up, is the annual Jellicle Ball.

Dunno on the flamers. Haven't seen a person there flame another best I can recall ever. We do have fun with the trolls though! This past year one wanted to sell Huskie Puppies. We 'rescued' Clem and Cleo (for Pope Clementine and Cleopatra) from the nasty doggie slavers and they in happy homes but vacationing with Zoot, the Arctic Penguin just now (it's all just fun make believe but the real note is there of saying fairwell to real loved pets). Another troll wanted to sell Parrots. We had 'Polly' escape in an almost keystone kopper event and she moved to Parrot Island (Florida place, lots of Parrots, real place) then is back for the event so she can check out a bird that swims (Penguin).

I guess we are wierd to some people. We deliberately adopt dogs that no one else will. Blind dogs are normally only adopted by one who has had one and knows how hard it is to home them. We keep to 2 dog and one cat (fits our finances for the higher medical bills for older pets) and look for age 11 and up with medical issues. Iowna now has a bit of doggie alzheimers which is not unusual at her age. I have to laugh though as she's a previous show dog and even now it shows as she can take off her own thunder shirt and any diaper type we have tried. She's comfortable though and still loving life between her naps. We got her 4 years ago age 11 (blind age 9). My cat, Daisy-chan is still going strong too at vet estimate of age 18 (may be a older, age based on how long we have had her and face-fat depletion). She may make Persias age? Cash, my other dog cant be less than 10 now. -- |

Grin, Daisy-chan (cat) is just as unique but has to be an only cat as long as she lives. Her full story can only be surmised. She was found in the wild, with a final dying (starvation) kitten. She'd obviously had several years of kittens. There are no records of the final kitten. She was unable to walk when found and not but 5-6lbs left of her. Lovely solid white with green eyes, she got into local no kill then they figured out she was a feral from behavior. The most charming bit on the rap sheet she had was 'will actively attack toddlers, no children in the house allowed'. Less charming items were 'warn the vet to wear a face mask like Jason Voorhis (movie note)', cat killer, and 'must sign a release and no damage the cat does to people in your home are our responsibility, this cat is not safe'. Positive trait: Likes dogs (only thing that shows she may have had human interaction). Adopted 2008 age believed to be 8-12 then. Still gets free nail clipping for vet safety. Have a laugh but even if she had no medical issues, she fits our sense of 'no one will adopt her' so we did. -- |

Are there any pets from the people here who should be added to the rolls? If so, I'll need them this weekend. Can reply here or to my email. Format we announce with is: Garland, House of Rennie Pixel, House of Abbey Cats Basically name and what you want for house (many use their last or first name). Let me know! Carol It sounds sweet. Fortunately I have not lost any pets this year. THats good Jill! I've not lost any either here. Knocking on wood, my little Iowna (Eye-Own-A ... beagle, car, house) is 15. Iowna is on borrowed time now as a dog. She's roughly like a 22yo cat. Is Iowna the blind beagle I've heard you speak of? You know I'll send out purrs for her. Jill Yes, Iowna is my blind beagle. I guess we are wierd to some people. We deliberately adopt dogs that no one else will. Blind dogs are normally only adopted by one who has had one and knows how hard it is to home them. We keep to 2 dog and one cat (fits our finances for the higher medical bills for older pets) and look for age 11 and up with medical issues. Iowna now has a bit of doggie alzheimers which is not unusual at her age. I have to laugh though as she's a previous show dog and even now it shows as she can take off her own thunder shirt and any diaper type we have tried. She's comfortable though and still loving life between her naps. We got her 4 years ago age 11 (blind age 9). My cat, Daisy-chan is still going strong too at vet estimate of age 18 (may be a older, age based on how long we have had her and face-fat depletion). She may make Persias age? Cash, my other dog cant be less than 10 now. Congratulations to you for rescuing dogs nobody else wants. My hat is off to you (or it would be if I wore one). Grin, Daisy-chan (cat) is just as unique but has to be an only cat as long as she lives. Her full story can only be surmised. She was found in the wild, with a final dying (starvation) kitten. She'd obviously had several years of kittens. There are no records of the final kitten. She was unable to walk when found and not but 5-6lbs left of her. Lovely solid white with green eyes, she got into local no kill then they figured out she was a feral from behavior. The most charming bit on the rap sheet she had was 'will actively attack toddlers, no children in the house allowed'. Less charming items were 'warn the vet to wear a face mask like Jason Voorhis (movie note)', cat killer, and 'must sign a release and no damage the cat does to people in your home are our responsibility, this cat is not safe'. Positive trait: Likes dogs (only thing that shows she may have had human interaction). Adopted 2008 age believed to be 8-12 then. Still gets free nail clipping for vet safety. Have a laugh but even if she had no medical issues, she fits our sense of 'no one will adopt her' so we did. I understand, and I applaud. |
