This is my first time asking for purrs. We're cat sitting my best friends 5 cats and one of them has gone missing. He's the only sick one and hasn't had his medication today, he's never gone missing before and we're really worried. Have called the vet, and the vet hospital and knocked on all the...

I wear out the heels of my ankle length socks and toss them out when I find them while folding the clean laundry. One day I had the bright idea to put a couple of tablespoons of catnip in the toe of the wholly sock and then tie a knot that would include the heel area. Instant hit with the cats,...

Persia was getting some scritches and purring like mad. Suddenly her nose wrinkled up and she sneezed. It sounded so funny, she was still purring through the sneeze (purrrrr-eeesh!) It's funny when she yawns when she's purring, too :) Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off.

To bury my nasty sh*t and not leave it out on display for all the world to see! ; Hugs, CatNipped

why are some meds sublingual? is the intent to absorb the medicine into the lining of your mouth, or something else? -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca

Hi all, This past Friday our family inherited a 5 year old ferret named Bob Marley. He is just the sweetest little thing. I know nothing about caring for him other than what and when he eats. Does anyone here have experience with these little guys? Or can any one here point me to a site or...

I was wondering if anyone else here was a fan of Emily the Strange? To those who don't know: Emily is a fictional character, a goth young girl whose best friends are her four black cats: Mystery, Sabbath, Nee Chee and Miles. In ten years she's gone from Internet phenomenon to star of her own...

This commercial actually made DH & I laugh out loud, for Motorola cell phones with video capabilities: Start with shot of woman dancing to music, woman obviously starts a "strip tease". Cuts to guy, big grin on his face, eyes wide open. Cut back to woman stripping is less a few articles of...

Last winter we bought a fabric covered, foam cube cat bed for the owners. It has a dangly toy hanging from the top and extra padding on the bottom so that the cats can be cozy and "hidden" if they want. It used to sit under my computer desk. Used to. Last night I heard a noise and turned around...

Over in alt.binaries.pictures.animals. Just really unusal and incredibly handsome.

I just wanted to say thank you to you all for your purrs last night, it worked! We went round there again in the evening to feed the brood. They have a cat flat and the 4 others came straight in as soon as they heard us. I told Max not to call for George as he might recognise his voice as being...

She's a tortie, but we often call her "the blonde one" because she fits the stereotype so well. Debra in VA

I told this already, but thought I'd share it here. I have a cat named Ruprecht. He is a large male tabby. Most of my neighbors think he is a hybrid dog of some sort. Ruprecht loves to munch!

Well, the in-laws and their critter have left. The cats are still not venturing into the living room, where Daisy was contained. Luna won't even come into the house, she's spent all of her time in the enclosure. I hope they will forgive us soon. :) -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the...

"Ann" wrote in message news:XfxCe.56295$iU.10233@lakeread05... Cinnamon is going to the vet tomorrow to have her teeth cleaned. Even though her blood work is okay, I'm still worried because she is 10 years old. Ann -- Purrs for Cinnamon!! I am afraid to have my cats...

My step-daughter came and got her piano today. Much to Harry and Oreo's delight, when we moved the piano away from the wall, hundred of little furry mice, kitty balls, bells, and other toys were found. It's like Christmas for the kitties all over again. April, being the dignified grande lady that...

Samson won't come near me if I have any lotion of any kind on. He gets that same horrified look that he makes whenever he smells peppermint and he backs away from me quickly. Cleo doesn't look horrified about the lotion. She just gives me a nasty look that basically says, "I know you are not...

She's fine! She got more of the Ornacylcline and is back to her happy self. Just so happens FedEx delivered a box to me today which contains some flax seed (she loves that!) and a new bell-toy I'd ordered. I just hung the new toy and all I can hear are little bells ringing. She's having a...

One night during a storm I got a phone call. I wasn't going to answer it, but it just kept ringing, so I did. My best female friend was on the other end, crying. "I can't find Smokey!" She couldn't find her new husband's cat and she was afraid it had gone outside when she walked her dog just...

http://www.chipgrafx.com/blog/i/scream.jpg You guys! I am embarassed for some of these posts. I'm sitting here blushing. Can we say oragel for the mind? Can we please try to generate something with some substance to it.
