I've hijacked Mama Kristi's computer so I can tell you about my horrible experience today. It started like every other morning. I heard Mama Kristi stirring, but I couldn't go wake her up because of the new cat. I think her name is Mayhem or something, but she's scary. She always is chasing me...

This memo is from an unnamed computer company. It went to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite serious, but the engineers rolled on the floor: Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit). Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate...

I remembered this story tonight and thought I'd share it, you know get into the mode of swapping cute cat stories. My 4 year old cat Peepers is extremely shy and generally only likes my friend and I. He is big-boned plus can afford to lose a few pounds. He's the cuddliest cat ever once he warms...

Hi folks, I found some old pics, I wanted to share with you. Back in the late 80s, I lived alone with three cats (all RB). I once sitted a rat that belonged to a friend of mine. It was a female, called Bertie. I carefully watched all four, never leave Bertie alone in a room with the cats. Bertie...

It is the story (fable?) of 'Leo the Lion' where the boy removes the thorn from the lions paw and they become friends, is it not? My somewhat 'similar' story ... I was living in a small 'mother-in-law' apartment in West Palm beach about 12 years ago. The neighbors that lived in the house in front...

Good morning Howard - saw this sad item in today's news, and thought of you: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4684505.stm Deb. -- http://www.scientific-art.com "He looked a fierce and quarrelsome cat, but claw he never would;

I'd like to share with you my first morning as a bank receptionist at my vet's. I was due at work at 8.00 am and so last night set my bedside clock's alarm for 5.45 am. I thought getting up that early would give me plenty of time for feeding the gang, tidying my house and getting myself ready to...

I know intregration sometimes takes time, but yesterday was discouraging. At times it seemed like we were right back at the beginning - no one was getting along. Spotty chased LB two or three times. I give her a time out in the bathroom for 10-15 minutes each time, and when I let her out she'd take...

One of my favorite kitties was put down today..... As a vet tech, there are animals that are regulars and you can't help but get attachec to them. Like Zeus, the great dane. He was huge, bulky and hard to handle, but you still loved him. Lothario was really huge and grumpy, but how can you...

Stanley has an interesting little personality trait that he has made apparent from the day we adopted him and his brother, Captain. Once you've petted him, or skritched him on the head, when you turn and walk away he usually pounces on your foot. Sometimes he just delivers a bap to your toes....

Well, not really blond, but Sugar is getting "oranged tipped" from sleeping in the summer sun! I will have to try to get a picture.

We have finally 'bonded' and are now playing, sleeping, roaming comfortably! I knew that this was possible--but wasn't sure that I would be able to get my new brood adjusted after adopting them from the humane society. Even my tortie jumps in my lap now--only if George is in it--and jumps on...

There was an old lady who lived in a shoe.. no no no a house and she had so many cats she didn't know what to do. Well she let the cats roam and this house is about 2 mins away from my apartment. Sadly, the females are not spayed so the collection kept growing. (Note: The cats have since been...

Babycat is out of control. She was just so tiny, so teeny-tiny I was way too permissive with her. Now I have a seven-week-old hoolikitten. She attacks anything that moves, and is a leg-climber and hand-biter. I've tried all the tricks I've gleaned over the years off newsgroups. I've picked her up...

Pearl has been chasing Sugar again and playing! She's acting normal finally! Maybe it just took this long to adjust to the meds but at least yesterday and today she is acting like herself!!

Hi all. I've been lurking for a long, long time and would like to join in, if you'll have me. My name is Karen and I'm the proud companion to 9 cats and a dog who thinks she's a cat. Number 10 has possibly just arrived (he hasn't shown up for his morning meal today). We've had a number of kitty...
