Some neighbors have a little white kitty who looks eerily like our China- Dolly. The poor thing is missing in the neighborhood and the distraught family has put up signs everywhere, asking for the return of their little white kitty with an "S" tattoo in its ear. Poor little thing. i think of...

Long story - but Vernon may well have re-snapped his achilles tendon. Just got back from a couple of hours at the local A&E.

The vet said her mouth will be sore for a few days, and I've got to give her antibiotics for the next 10 days (better check that I have a good supply of bandages), but she's home. She seems to be feeling a lot better than she was. To my surprise her first concern when we got home was not food...

A quick update. The little guy went in to see the vet this morning and I was really dreading her telling me that he may not be eating enough and I was happily surprised that not only had Tucker not lost but he had gained a few ounces. Yay! I've been giving him various meds around the clock and...

I want to that you all for your cyber-support during this very tough time for me. I am so deeply touched and comforted by your amazing outpouring of affection for my precious boy. So far, I have been able to take things slowly. I was pretty agitated after I got home yesterday, and I kept...

He's prone to colds, and it's been getting chilly at night here, so we've had the windows open several nights lately. Well, he has a runny eye, has been sneezing and even done some snorting like he was trying to get something out of his nose. Off to TED he went. He has a Upper Respiratory...

Some of you may remember my dear sweet Sir William who went to RB on 1st October 2000. I can't believe that tomorrow marks the 8th aniversay of his death. Sir William wasn't exactly a talker, but he had deep "mrroaaw" with which he commented on everything. Riley is the same. He uses the exact same...

I spent a wonderful summer vacation with my sister, but one thing happened that was incredibly sad. Her cat, Peaches, died while I was visiting. We knew it was coming, but it was devastating for my sister. Peaches would have been 20 years old in just a few weeks, and she was so small when...

My sweet boy declined sharply over the weekend. His breathing is labored, he is too weak to walk, and I woke up in the middle of last night with him peeing in my bed. He wanted to walk around anyway, and he staggered around with me following him around. I don't want him to have any more...

I ordered some holiday cards. So someone (Yowie?) better update and email me the holiday card list :) I promise they won't include hard to clean up glitter. There might be some cat fur/spit somehwere because Persia is extremely interested in anything I do in the kitchen... Jill

Joy, who is one of the sweetest people here is having her birthday on the 18th IIRC and I just wanted to put up a post for her Happy Birthday Joy, you kind, sweet, wonderful woman. Love you Purrs and blessings Kyla and Mosey

Sometimes simple toys are the best toys. We have a wooden chair in the bedroom. Fifteen years or so ago, I tied a broken shoe string to it to tease Presto (RB) when he was a young cat. He loved it. Every cat who has come into our place has eventually discovered the shoe string, and has had fun...

Biddy left for the Rainbow Bridge tonight at about 8:10 pm eastern US time. She was laying in her favourite bed, with DH and I rubbing her feet and head. Just before she died, Bear came over and sniffed her face, and gave me a very sad look before he left. She was the last of the original crew...

/begin rant Well, I wanted in-home medical care for my mom so I was thrilled to find a geriatric specialist who makes house calls. But I didn't expect a veritable parade of medical people! Since he visited last week, an RN came out on Sunday (!) to draw blood for labs & get a urine sample. ...

For those who have never been bitten by the book, Uncle John's Bathroom Readers are thick books full of trivia, information, quotes, and odds and ends. Of course cats are involved. Did you know that Einstein thought that his cat was depressed? Pam S. a big Uncle Johns fan and thinking about...
