It's a Buffy-versary! by
jmcquown[_2_]
Two years ago today I drove to a house a few blocks away to meet what
was described as a very timid orange tabby cat named Buffy. I also met
her rambunctious housemate (I think he was a Burmese) named Frankie.
Their human had died a week before so they were both up for adoption. I
was told...

I've never seen one in real life. Is Japan the place where they're
most popular?

Keep your bedroom free of mosquitoes. In return, get to sleep
with a roomful of drug-crazed moggies.
It doesn't seem like much came of that discovery, seeing as...

Marlo getting to be normal by
dgk
For a cat anyway. We took her to the vet to check on her hyperthyroid
condition and she's in the normal range so the dosage she's getting
must be about right. She's even gained af few ounces (that;s probably
a few pebbles in British weights) and is about 7.5 lbs.
Mom is a bit worried about her,...

summer's here by
Jack Campin
It's been quite warm for a few days, with no rain (the garden's
drying up). What that's meant for most of our male cats has been:
time to hit the great outdoors. Our Ishmael used to spend most
of the summer camped out in the bushes across the lane (all of
50 yards away) growling ferociously at...

I lost him yesterday to cancer. My ISP has decided they won't give us email

Marlo is hyperthyroid by
dgk
She's been living with mom for the last few months and has been on a
diet (since she was overweight).. But for the last two months or so,
we knew she had dropped a lot of weight so we've pretty much been
feeding her everything she wants, chicken, steak, lamb chops, salmon,
well, essentially...

Where's Buffy? by
jmcquown[_2_]
When Buffy isn't curled up next to me, she has her regular snooze spots.
Yesterday evening, however, I couldn't find her anywhere.
I checked the bedroom closet even though I keep the door closed. I
checked the bathtub because she's been known to leap out from behind the
shower curtain and...

How did he get in there? by

My little Ganzi girl...isn't....a girl that is! Very considerate as I am between jobs and living off my savings so as every penny helps and getting a boy done is cheaper than a girl.
Over the last couple of days hes discovered the playground that is the bathroom.

Fluffy McBuffy by

Buffy has a very thick undercoat. She was sitting in my lap, getting
scritches and purring to beat the band. :) In the process her fur was
wafting up and sticking to my face. Time for the Furminator! An
excellent de-shedding tool.
It's amazing to me how much fur she sheds. I have to throw...

I'm back online again. I replied to one of Jill's messages, but I don't
know if anyone saw it because her message was so old. My old computer
crashed, and I did not remember how to set up newsgroups after I bought
my new one. The good news is that Duffy (now 19 years old), Nikki and

Fortunately, Buffy does not jump up on the dinner table.

Bengals by

I dropped in to the Lothian Cat Rescue shelter today - I had a large
bag of specialist cat food, surplus from a closed vet's surgery,
which wasn't appropriate for our lot. So I had a wander around to
meet the residents.
One of them was just amazing - a Bengal/shorthair cross called Ricco

Persia (RB) like many cats, loved boxes. Once after being on a trip and

Kitty Nicknames by

Buffy has a few nicknames.
(1) Fluffy McBuffy-pants. :)
She has very soft furry fluffy hindquarters. :)
(2) Flippy Tail.
She wags her tail. All the time. Sometimes she wags her tail in her
sleep. She actually woke me up at 6AM by thwacking me in the face with
