One of the webcomics I read had a malfunction and posted this picture of a cat surveying its domain www.moderntales.com/comics/dumnestor.php?view=archive&chapter=14231&mpe=0 (about a third of the way down) I though it was cute, and a bit funny too. --

Abelard has completed six years of life. The adoption anniversary is Sept. 20.

Temperatures are running in the 90s F and even over 100 F during the day with 80-110% humidity and thunderstorms for over 14 of the last 21 days. The owners are sleeping on the wheel chair platform as it is bare platform and not warmed up. Or else they are on my book case (Tanada), Mike's night...

I have taken to referring to them as little brother and little sister. They aren't nervous about being handled now, and have proclaimed me to be Mount Hoomin. I let Miss Emily out of the crate several times a day, and the kittens (although CLOSELY supervised) as well. We had a close encounter...

Poor Francis. He has turned into a man-eater. Specifically he's a meowmie-eater. Poor cat. I've just had him to the vet on an emergency visit. Francis has been fine, but noticed this afternoon, he was walking with his tail *down* and he would not let anyone near his tail to investigate. Looked...

Francis had another 'WTF?' moment with The Laydeez this morning. The Laydeez laid their eggs early (147 & counting since April 19, not bad for a couple of 'spent' hens supposedly 'egged out') so I let them out into the garden for a good old scratch about. Francis joined in by sitting his usual...

I'm just home from the vet, and it's not good. He feels several tumors on Tigers bowels, so no real way to do something about it. He seems in no pain, so I'm playing it by ear (and instinct). The vet gave him a prednisone-like injection, and for the next days I'm going to give him prednisolone...

Kitty FC has not been eating very well yesterday and today, the turkey mince has lost its appeal, but Boyfriend just arrived in the kitchen with a nice warm deceased vole. She didn't scarf it down in 90 seconds like last time, it took 3 or 4 minutes, but hey, it's all gone down the hatch. That...

It started with very soft (and smelly) stools. Then a hairball (rare for Tiger). Then he didn't want his breakfast (also rare). Of course when he doesn't eat, Amber won't either. As soon as he would eat I added some acidolphoulis powder to his food. Meanwhile his soft stools have been...

Xoxo is going to TED for a dental first thing Monday morning. Purrs would be appreciated for our old buddy to have an uneventful cleanup. Thanks. Victor -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM)

It's the Dynamic Duo's third Purrday today (not sure which one's Batman and which is Robin!). Lots of cuddles and plenty of meezer mischief, so just like any other day really. Any thoughts that they are going to give up the hoolikitten act are clearly misplaced. I know I wouldn't really want it...

Over the 5+ years that her ladyship has occupied our heart and home we have long since resigned ourselves to the fact that nothing worries her. She is the Catherine Tate of feline hood (for those who know who she is) and will sit happily in wreckage she has just created with an expression that says...

I came home from work, and decided to try being sneaky. I parked my car on the street, and let myself in the service door. I figured the cat would freeze where it was, hoping I wouldn't see him. Or something. I was right: she was on top of the lumber. Yes, it's a female. Looks pretty much full...

That the one person who had any right to be offended by Kyla's message didn' t say a word about it. Think about it. Then again, Susan is one of those people I can't picture being mean to others here. Cheers.

OK, back to cats! I've been horribly remiss in posting pictures of the masters - so since I'm breaking my own rule and am on the computer tonight, I figured I'd address that. http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Ozzy5/ -- Hugs,

I bought a treadmill a few weeks ago and yes I used it daily. Shamrock meows at me while I'm working out. Tonight I put it on it's slowest speed and started putting the cat toys on the treadmill and the cats were going nuts watching them slowly go by them and drop at the end. LOL

I was watching an Animal-Planet show about a family of banded mongooses and a _cat_ wandered onto the set. Among the mongooses, warthigs, lions and eagles, there was a very ordinary-looking tabby with a very lovely face. I know that the African Wildcat is one of the closest relatives...

I have been talking to a former coworker. He's a big cat lover, and he has the space to keep the kitty (no name yet) isolated. He will keep her until a home can be found. We are working out the finances for the kitty :-( Tomorrow I will be taking a LOT of aluminum cans, and some copper pipe, and...

He stinks way more than Chester did after I washed him. The problem is that Otis not only got it along his neck and the side of his face like Chester, but also got it full on the front of his face. I couldn't really wash with that mixture all over his nose and around his eyes so there is this...

High this is OF TO Mahoney and we are taking applications for a new owner. Me being, Mize Piglet, Willow and myself. I am glad cats do not have family reunions. We had one here and they are not fun. First people come from a place called New York and they bring something called a "teenager"...
