Way back when, the Yahoo group "catslaves" was born as a place for some of the off-topic banter amongst RPCA members and access to each other via email if Usenet went down. It hasn't had a single post in many many months, and Yahoo is closing groups down. Christopher Havlicek mentioned archiving...

I don't post on here very often, but wanted those of you not on FB to hear this from me: Weeble is 16. Has his annual cold, but for the first time I am very worried over it. He's not wanting to eat, losing weight. We are getting several syringes of puree gooshy food into him a day (along with...

It finally cooled off down here in South Carolina. I turned off the air conditioner yesterday and didn't feel at all uncomfortable. The humidity is way down. Yay! I like a nice chilly room to sleep in. I do run the ceiling fan year round to have air circulating. In this naturally cooler...

For those who follow both RPCA and RPCC, the following was just posted on RPCC: Dear kitties and goggies, once again the Sekrit Santa site is behind schedule. In order to avoid further delays, I'd like to ask that you email your signup information to me while I work on getting the code...

So I've been away for a few weeks, visiting family in the UK as my Dad's been very ill. I left here pretty suddenly, got a phone call at 6:30am, was lucky to be able to get the cats into a good boarding place, and was on the plane by 6:30pm. Thankfully Dad's out of hospital now although things...

A "Peeper". That's what they call the small tree frogs that live around here. They're tiny but make a huge racket. Buffy alerted me to the fact that there was one climbing up the window. I snapped a pic. :) https://i.postimg.cc/KYrdhZgW/tinytreefrog.jpg Peepers are small frogs. This one is...

She has a plush little hedgehog toy with a velcro tummy for catnip. After a play session with the fishing wand toy, I replenished the little hedgehog with catnip. Oooh! https://i.postimg.cc/FzjN62Rv/catnip1.jpg then... https://i.postimg.cc/Nfq1rmv2/catnip2.jpg

Just a quick reminder that the Jellicle Ball is this weekend! If you know of anyone who might be interested in participating, please let them know. It's in Usenet rec.pets.cats.community. If you don't have a Usenet account or reader, you can always access it through Google Groups.

Just found out that Jeanne Hedge passed away on Oct 1, 2019. She is finally reunited with her kitties,Tribble and Natasha. May your trip to the Bridge be swift. Patti aka Mishiwahr http://www.collinsfuneralhome.net/jeanne-colleen-hedge.html

aka the vaccuum cleaner. Hoover, if you prefer. It actually is a Hoover branded vaccuum cleaner. :) I vaccuumed the living room. In the era this house was built there was usually a formal "living room" for entertaining. My parents didn't entertain. They still built a house with a very...

Saturday Nancy and I went out running some errands. When we got home I thought it strange that Benni wasn't hanging out at any of her usual places. When I get started feeding everyone their dinners, no Benni. After both of us searched the house thoroughly, we figured she must have slipped past...

I was trying to find my phone the other day, but it was nowhere in site. So I said Alexa, where is my phone? Next thing you know, Smokey starts ringing. She lifted her head, WTF. I think Smokey dislikes my phone, she says I spend too much time on it, that I could be spending with her. She has...

Turnabout is fair play. Buffy ignores me most of the day. She can snooze right through me being gone for hours at a time and not move from one spot. Doesn't even notice. But even when I'm stretched out right there, reading a book, she's taking a nap. I know cats sleep a lot, but come...

I have been doing some house cleaning today. Got out the big sucky monster, which of course Buffy hates. She ran and hid. I picked up her little cushy pyramid bed and took out out front. To shake off the dust (her fur) and clean out the inside. More fur. She sheds terribly, despite...

Actually Smokey is selfish, but what do you expect from a Kat. Grumpy old bill just had a knee replacement on Monday, which means I can't do some of Smokey's favourite things, snuggling on the floor, bathing on the floor, etc.. I've tried to tell her that dad hurt his knee and he can't bend...

A little over a week ago I was informed by Nancy that we need another cat. When I questioned the wisdom of adding another, her reply was "Or we could get another dog". Ok, another cat it is. We found a tiny little black and white girl named Benni. The shelter says that she's 3 years old, but if I...

I furminated her highness and after that she felt very playful. I got the fishing wand toy out of the hall closet. I had told her to "stay" in the living room but saw her peeping around the corner... thinking I couldn't see her. LOL It was too cute. Sorry I don't have a camera built into my...
