Minnie Got Shot 2x This Morning... by
John Kasupski
....with a Sony Cybershot 7.2 megapixel DSC-S700 digital camera. This wasn't a
planned photoshoot, and I also need to re-read the manual to remember how to
crank the lens up to ISO-1000 and turn the flash off so she won't have the devil
in her eyes on every...

Don't Let Your Cat See This by
John Kasupski
The use of teeth to avoid a bath has probably always been in your cat's bag of
tricks...it's the idea of refusing to let go you don't want him or her to learn.

I Am An Ailurophile...I Guess shrug by
John Kasupski
I was web-surfing early this afternoon and ran across a web page full of cat
facts. I won't steal them all, but I can't resist sharing a few of them. My own
comments appear in parentheses.
"Sir Isaac Newton is not only credited with the laws of gravity but is also
credited with inventing the cat...

The mission of a cat ... by
Joy[_3_]
is to keep his or her human(s) guessing.
When I got Koala, I had a cat that had to have canned food morning and
evening, in spite of the fact that there's kibble out all the time. He
immediately decided that he had to have it too. A few months ago he
changed his demands to "canned food every...

Kitten Converts Reluctant Owner by
John Kasupski
In another thread, I promised (or threatened, depending on your point of view)
to tell the story of how my relatively new kitten Minnie changed my mind about
not really wanting a pet - so, here goes...
Why didn't I want another pet at the time? About fifteen years ago, I had a cat
named Goldie, a...

Flying Kitty, Anyone? by
John Kasupski
This kind of branches off from Joy's "Rain" post, but...anybody beside me ever
have a cat that could literally go all the way around a room or from the middle
of one room to the other end of the next room without touching the floor?
I've had two. My very first kitty, a calico named Natasha and...

The Case Of The Stolen Shoelace by
John Kasupski
Last night after she'd been nosing around out on the sun porch, Minnie came
running up to me with a rawhide shoelace she'd apparently found there in a bag
of old clothes that looked like they'd belonged to my landlady's eight-year old
son. The only pair of boots in the bag had no laces on them. I...

Preferred Golf Ball by
jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy's choice of golf ball is a Titleist #3 for bapping weight and
bounceability. :) She will accept a Pinnacle #4 golf ball if she can't
find her first choice.
I never really noticed before why she seems to prefer one golf ball over
the other.
I keep a pair of rubber flip-flops next to the...

Rain by
Joy[_3_]
I know animals that usually are able to do outdoors get antsy when it
rains, just as kids do.
Koala has been an indoor cat ever since I got her. She was originally
feral, and has never wanted to go outdoors since. It is raining, and
she is really acting goofy. She has spent a couple of...

Purrfect Ending To Christmas Cat-astrophe by
John Kasupski
A cat that jumped out of a van along Interstate 93 near Boston, Massachusetts
on Christmas Day was found by a crew of electricians nine days later - crouched
eighty feet in the air on a steel girder under the highway - and safely rescued.

Santa brings drugs! Death to Santa! by
Jack Campin
Most successful Christmas present this year (well, Hanukah present,
considering who was giving it): a catnip Santa with long dangly legs
hanging off a stick by a couple of feet of cord.
Ollie and Marblecake really, truly believe in Santa. The catnip
in his stuffing must be good...

Cat Cursing.. by
The New Other Guy
I learned several new cat curse words today,
after succumbing to the requests to allow
GLyN to go outside at 6am, even though it
was still raining.
When I got up, near noon, I went to the door
right away, but clearly NOT soon enough, and
received an earful (or three) telling me what
a HORRIBLE...

Who owns whom? by
Joy[_3_]
My bedspread is covered with cat hair. I've found that a damp sponge
removes it easily. The problem is that I can never find a time when
there isn't a cat on the bed. Naturally I won't disturb one that is
there, so it seldom gets cleaned.

Just dropping in by
Christina Websell
To say hello and see how you all are. Boyfriend is fine, myself not quite
as much, I fell foul of my steep stairs again, broke my leg and back. Leg is
not so bad now, but it looks like I'll have to have cement put into my spine
if I want to lead a normal life. I had to spend some time in a...

Anybody in touch with David Stevenson? by
Joy[_3_]
Does anybody remember David Stevenson from England, who used to post
here? I met him and his wife Lix once when they visited California, and
we have exchanged Christmas cards every year. I got a card today with
his address sticker on it. Inside, in what looks like a child's
printing, it says...
