I mentioned earlier that Blondie has been stashing food in the plastic igloo. You have to understand that the igloo, while the perfect size for Blondie, is too small for Hanna to use. A few minutes ago I looked over and saw the igloo turning in a circle. Hanna had discovered Blondie's stash of food...

The candle site Mosey, on RPCC, set up for Tabitha is still open. http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=Tabfa Please stop by and light a candle for her. I haven't given up hope. And I think we should have more candles for MIA cats; it's been happening a lot lately. What do...

I have a big rubber vulture I received for my fiftieth birthday. Usually, it sits on top one of the bookshelves in the bedroom where it can keep an eye on us. Tonight I brought it down and sat it on Senyah's pillow. She gave me a "What now?" look. Little Boy jumped up on my chest and was just...

Since Naughty and Kiki's recent brush with the demons of constipation, I have been trying to increase their fluid intake. One experiment that worked very well was to leave the bath tap (closed caption: faucet) running at a trickle during the day. Taking this as a suggestion from them, I bought them...

Don't go to the icanhascheezburger.com site for awhile. They sure get hit a lot. Maybe they wouldn't if they weren't so political over at pundit kitchen, the frickin retards.

.... of 27 "wonders" of the world. Sadly, I've only seen one (the Grand Canyon) in person - and that was when I was a child. http://guides.travel.msn.com//Guides/MSNTravelSlideShow.aspx?cp-documentid=1080768&imageindex=1 Hugs, CatNipped

Has a cat ever climbed a sequoia tree? What's the cat climb record?

Hi all, I have been searching for a RB tale that I read a few years back, and cannot find it anywhere. I hope someone here either has it or knows where I can find it. I don't know the name of it, but the story is about a little kitten who is at the Bridge, and is looking down into a puddle...

Remarkable thing, cat anatomy. Able to twist in two directions when napping, compact itself into efficiently tiny space or spread like pancake batter on the griddle, and turn a five pound body into fifty when a pick-up-and-cuddle isn't on the docket--a simple yet complex architectural...

Dag nab her little britches, Miranda is home! I was feeling really hopeless last night and cried myself to sleep. Around midnight, a little paw came pawing at the covers for me to lift them and let the cat in. Expecting to feel Caliban, I stroked the little body that slipped in, and instead of...

Erin got back the results of Brooke's tests to day and the answer was.... NO MORE CANCER!!!!! Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers, they obviously worked really well!! Hugs, CatNipped

Later today, Lewi D. Cat will leave for the Bridge. He was quite sick a couple of months back but, seemed to recover. In the last couple of days, his illness seemed to return. The decision was made to send him to the Bridge rather than put him through a lit of painful stuff that seemed to lay...

Nothing serious, but I have made an appointment for her yearly tomorrow. Betty (Weeble's baby-twin sister) is damn near a feral cat (even though we've had her since she was about 4-5 weeks old and Barney and Bam-Bam (her littermates) are as tame as any cat can be), but there are occasions when...

Taken with Dave's camera, which is much nicer than mine! http://oddballcourt.com/twiggyfamily.html I also stuck one pic of a baby robin in the page....

For him, getting fattened up means returning to what his weight ought to be. Well, he's there! 14+ months after his illness during which he barely touched food and lost half his body weight, I feel safe in saying that he's fully recovered. His 7th birthday is Monday, July 27th.

Now that I'm nearly settled in, how do I choose a vet for Persia? When I brought her here last May, on the recommendation of my neighbor I had Persia's records faxed to a particular vet the neighbor had been using for her cats. I've been buying her R/x food from this vet's office. The last...

I stayed up very late last night, as I usually do, now that I am out of work. All night (morning?), Kenzie had been going in and out of the front porch. Every 30 to 45 minutes, I would hear Kenzie meowing to be let back in. She would ask for scrtiches, and then go do...whatever cats do when they...
