Yeah, I have to offer blanket purrs again. There are too many cats, dogs and people who need them right now for me to answer every post. Persia woke me up this morning purring extra loudly in my ear so she knows, too. Or maybe she was just hungry. G Jill

I'm leaving tomorrow morning, early, to go down to NO. I'll be flying back Monday night and probably won't get back online until Tuesday. I'll post then to let everyone know what's going on. As of right now, the doctor said the lab results weren't back yet so they have to wait until tomorrow...

Over the xmas holiday we had 2 lots of children visit us. There were 4 kids in the first lot, a 10, 8, 4 and 3 year old. Smudgie was fine with the 3 eldest kids but took something of a dislike to the 3 year old. She fluffed her tail out and growled at her, then ran away and hid! She let the...

At the moment, Waffles and Pickles are sequestered in the guest room, while Lindy is free to roam the rest of the house. Is she grateful for being freed from the bedroom? No, because the cat door is locked, and when she did manage to slip out into the garage when I went out there, she found...

Just going through some of the stuff that seems to accrue on my Hard Drive, and found the article about the little puppy that was found tied up in your yard after thieves broke into your car. Did anyone come forward for the dog? Do you know what happened to it after that? Yowie -- If you're...

Pam, I've never had a friend or relative who has had to undergo chemotherapy. Could you give me some idea of what Brooke will be facing? I know there are probably lots of different types of chemo, but a general idea of what to expect would be very welcome. -- Hugs, CatNipped

REMEMBERING TIFFY Two years ago we lost our sweet Tiffy. We still miss her very much and think of her every day. She was a little clown in a cat-suit! She could always make us laugh with her silly antics and lovable personality. Everyone who met her fell in love with her instantly. This is one...

My daughter took off work for an MRI this morning. They messed up the appointment and she had to reschedule, so she came over to look for Waffles. She found him in the garage. I was able to get the doors shut so he couldn't get out. Then she managed to pick him up and bring him in the...

I apologize for reposting this article in full, but it requires you to register to read it if you choose to. When this story first broke, it broke my heart. It's a local story, and one reason why I don't trust law enforcement in my county. To read this makes it worse. But it could happen to...

That`s a real Christmas story I just heard on the phone. Max, a young cat vanished 7 weeks ago from his home in South Germany. As webmaster of an animal welfare group`s site I was asked to put a search add on our site. Today I called the owners to ask for an update and they told me that Max had...

I've had the screen door up for over a month now. She used to break the door down and escape. Now she prefers to stay in that room and retreats to it when she comes out for short visits. Shamrock and Rhett have now decided they don't like her and she doesn't like them. Now that Scarlett has...

Check the Hole A man has been stranded on a deserted island for two years with no sex. Until one day he finds a tree with a knot hole at just the right height, and although not the perfect solution, it relieves some of the tension. As he is walking along the shore one morning, he sees a woman...
