I hope you have a great birthday tomorrow. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat.

Their new user interface is just about unusable. Very very slow, often doesn't succeed in loading complete pages, and worst of all: I used to access pages via their RSS feed in my Firefox bookmarks toolbar. That is no longer being updated, and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting a list of...

Anyone using a Weazel Ball? A Weazel Ball is a baseball size motorized ball which travels across the floor powered by a AA battery. It comes with a tail but I removed that. My 14 1/2 pound cat seems to like it, as usual acting shy at first. I will give it a couple of weeks to a month and report...

EOM Sorry - again ---- How TERRIBLE of me.

I mentioned I had to replace my PC. Now I'm trying to install Mozilla Firefox (browser). I cannot figure out how to install this without it asking me to d/l all this other add-on stuff I don't want. I'll keep looking around but if anyone has a quick link to just your basic Firefox...

I figured out how to edit and compress the video I took. I put it on the RPCAPhotos group on Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RPCAPhotos/files). The format is Windows Media and it's almost 4MB in size, my apologies if you can't open this format; let me know and I'll send you a file saved as...

Hi CN. I sent this to you privately yesterday, but am posting too in case it didn't turn up. SO sorry to learn this. Major purrs from my 3 boys that the pain isn't too great. Empathy from me: I lost disc L3/4 in 1982 and L4/5 in 1984 in necessary removal operations. Plus a scar tissue etc....

Monday morning, I walked out the front door, down the short walk way to the driveway to get my keys out of the ignition of the truck, and go back to lock the front door. I locked the door, went back to the truck, petting Big'Ead, who was on the walk way (Big'Ead is our recently adopted recentl;y...

Lately, there were problems with mice getting in through the walls behind the kitchen counters. I found droppings on the counter, in drawers and three dead mice in glue traps. I clogged up the gaps connecting the counter to the wall. Still a big hole inside the conter where the water pipe connects...

Last night, Betty started smacking her lips and occasionally rubbing at her jaw, which was unusual, so I checked her mouth and found that a lower fang seemed to be slightly misaligned. I set up a vet appointment this morning to have it looked at. The vet found that the tooth was very loose, and...

Long story trying to be short, I've told the story of maMA, found last summer, friendly as anything (dumped, I'm sure) pregnant, got her spayed. She then surprised the heck out of me a week after being spayed, by bringing a litter of 5 kitens out of hiding. I found homes for 4, kept Loki, the...

This morning Christine took some food to the barn for the mother cat. She saw the cat exit the barn as she entered. Then she heard a little hiss and looked in the dark place between a couple of bales of hay. Sure enough, she saw a pair of tiny glowing eyes. She put on her gloves and reached in and...

I got this at my work email today: "Well, I am really upset so the only thing that I will say is that Holly's pain and suffering are over and that is all that matters, I have cryed all I can. End of Story. In a way she is better off because she was talking about not going back to work because she...

Hi I would appreciate any help on what is probably an old chessnut. I am not much good at gardenening. We moved home last year and now have quite a nice garden, it has cost money and a lot of work. Cats are insisting on digging up my flower beds and pooing everywhere. I have tried:

The weather forecast is saying 100% chance of rain here in SW Oklahoma. I decided to take the day off and not even go pick up the landscaping equipment trailer. Guess it's just as well, since I need to do some laundry, tidy up the apartment a little, and watch the USA men's basketball game this...

Second-best commercial ever! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7vXP3tHzhA Joyce -- The problem with cats is that they get the exact same look on their face whether they see a moth or an axe-murderer. -- Paula Poundstone

Just reading on CNN.com there was a 4.5 quake in northern California overnight. It was reported to have been centered on the small town of King's Beach, California (in Placer County), which is apparently about 15 miles SW of Reno, Nevada. Anyone here in that area? Is all ok? Jeanne Hedge, as...

Everyone be careful in this heat. I saw on the weather report this morning most of the U.S.A. will be having a heat wave. Here in Connecticut we are expected to have temperatures 95 to 100 with high humidity. Ann -- read Sam's blog at http://kittens-3.blogspot.com/ see pictures of Sam at...

There is a terrible wind rushing around here as well as lashing rain, but the wind has only just got up, so I felt obliged to check the chicken huts to make sure everything was safe (it's very, very late here) I have a lamp that fastens on my head, so put it on, got all the outer clothes on, and...
