If ya'll could send some get well purrs for Omar; I think we'd both appreciate it. On Monday night, he got bit on the foot in a spat with Tucker. We spent several hours at the vet Monday night as a walk-in and he got put on Clavamox. He's been much less active although eating well until this...

We thought the girls (Cali & Smokey) were finally starting to get along a little better. They've been sleeping together on the window perch. But it's also the only open window, now that's it's starting to cool off. So it's likely that Cali's mellowing has more to do with her attraction to the...

You may have read about these in the news recently. An animation group (brothers, I think) known as JibJab has created some humorous animation (with singing yet) poking bipartisan fun at the US presidential election. If you're interested, you can find them in the Mock The Vote section on the...

The pleasure of your company is requested at the new edition of my column (a part of Carol's bimonthly humor ezine): http://www.rainy-day-laughter.com/jaxblog I have archives too! Read 'em! -- ~ JAX ~ proud feline owner of Carol & Nia & 2 dogs

I've read the missing cat posts here and in other forums, and I'm always vicariously worried for the poster. I've never dealt with this situation before. Well, once for half and day, and I thought that was torture. It turned out Dash(RB) was in the house the whole time. I'm going crazy with...

I'm asking for homecoming purrs for Rosie. I really need her back here in my arms. There have been too many loses this past year and I just can't handle another one. (In January my mother, my mother's sister Fanny, my dad's sister Ena and my Aunt Mae's husband died. I was close to all of them. ...

She was looking out the window, and slipped and fell off the widow sill. This normally would have been a non-event as she would have landed on her feet and jumped back up or gone on about her business. But this time she got tangled in the venetian blind cord and hung by her neck for a few seconds...

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and purrs during the last week which has been a very trying one. Joyce was right when she said she thought I must have had a lot of other things triggered. I did - by the tragedy with Eve as well as the torture session my neice went through. I basically...

Fynn's operation was successful. He spent the night at the clinic and should be going home this afternoon. His slave is worried that he might not be able to climb tree's etc (which he loves to do). I think in a couple of weeks everything will be back to normal. Thanks for the purrs. Lois

Hi, folks Boyfriend found out that Kitty FC was famous with her pic on rpca, and he wanted to be famous too. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to hack it. Faced with the camera, and still uncomfortable with being held, he wanted to get down. He is still shy. That's the first pic. The second is of...

How cool! Nice story, as always. Christine "Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Yesterday, Buster wanted out for awhile. When I got home, I would look outthe window from time to time, and go out to call for Buster. ...

Well, I haven't seen the little gray cat with the too tight flea collar since I put the trap out a week ago Saturday. I picked the trap up last Thursday and continued putting the food out, but s/he never showed back up. Please join my crew in sending purrs that s/he was just lost and that...

Some time ago I posted about an acquaintance from another newsgroup who has a couple of outdoor cats. She lives about 10 miles from me, but will soon be moving. At the time I first posted, it appeared that she wasn't going to do anything about the cats, and I was quite concerned. Then she thought...

As some of you will already know, Devon Rex cats are amongst the brightest, most curious and most social cats you can find. Whatever you do, they will try to help you with the task the best they can, sorting your papers on the desk, helping you to hide things dropped on the floor, testing the...

Since it seems there is more sad news today, I just wanted to share that two absolutely sweetheart kitties found a new home with a nice young man while I was working with the junior animal humane group in the cat room on Saturday. Their names are Gris (a extremely affectionate gray longhair boycat)...

Not a day goes by that Baby Eyes doesn't give each and every one of the other 5 feline members of this household a complete bath, yet she almost never throws up any hairballs. In fact she rarely presents any hairballs at all, not even the number I would normally expect from a longhaired cat living...

Laser Toy was a dud. Smokey chased it for a few minutes, until she noticed the source. Cali looked at the wall, looked at me and said, "That's nice, you've got a new toy. Wake me when it's supper time". Just like the Mutts cartoon Marina posted a while back. Anyone else see the nipheads tonight...

In Buffalo we joke that we really live in a suburb of Toronto, and that is most true in our love of hockey. People who aren't even hockey fans wear Sabres jerseys because it is almost as much part of our culture as it is to Canada's. People who have enough yard make ice rinks in the winter so their...

My son's little kitten (the one I'd posting pictures of using his litter box when I kitten-sat) was found dead next to his food bowl - they don't know what killed him. Their 5-year-old, Taffy, is fine so they don't think it was poison, and there were no marks on the kitten. They couldn't afford...
