Nanki-Poo pulled the worst BCT ever! First, to set the stage: As of yesterday, he has found a new place to lie - in the litter box. That seemed a bit strange to me. He was there for an hour or so yesterday, and for several hours today. When I fed them, he came out into the kitchen, but didn't...

Opened the front door this morning and in rushed.. ... a ginger cat an intact ginger tom (young adult). Said cat is distinctly *not* feral or abused. He's in very good condition and well fed. he just happens to think Chateau Wafflycat is home. Which it's not. Waffles decided to make sure said...

He's back on antibiotics because I don't think the ear infection ever cleared up completely, the bottom of the back of his ear is bare of fur and slightly reddened from scratching and his balance is still not right. He has definitely improved and is eating and drinking well, but not gaining back...

I trimmed my photos down a bit and fixed up the contrast and stuff and put them back on webshots... but if anyone else wants a copy of the files they're small enough to email now. (straight out my camera they were 2 megabytes each, which is ridiculous!)

My wonderful calico kitty is going in for a dental cleaning this Friday (6/27) and I am worried sick. She is my only kitty, so she is especially precious to me. She is now 12 1/2 years old. And I'm worried about the anesthetic, of course. She isn't real bad with tartar, but she had gingivitis a...

She did not maintain the slight improvement I saw which caused me to cancel her appointment last week. I said I would give her over the weekend and she how she went. She hardly ate on Sunday, no matter what lovely food was provided. Monday morning she ate nothing, Monday after work I phoned...

Purrs for Snowy, aka Nijinski Snow Storm, who owned Robert A. and Virginia Heinlein for some years. After Mr. Heinlein had died, Snowy lived with Virginia until her final illness and has been living with the Haywood family ever since. Now Snowy has found the door into summer and will not be a...

A friend of mine was moving to Maine from California last year. She decided that she could not take her cat on such a long trip. So she left poor Winkle at a no-kill shelter. She didn't dare tell me because she figured it would end our friendship. She is right that it would have put quite a strain...

My friend Tessa loves dogs....cairn terriers to be precise but she's never been able to turn down helping people or animals so when an elderly friend of hers asked her to find her a cat she settled down to do it with her usual efficiency. Lady wanted a slightly older cat that must be good with...

AN EXCERPT FROM CHLOE'S DIARY Dear Diary, My poor Pine Cone! I stood him up at the altar. My poor, poor love. My heart is sad because he is sad, I cry because he cries, I yowl because he yowls. But what was I supposed to do? I love him with all my heart, and wish to be his forever ladycat, but...

My most dear Chloe, I read this over the fat wench's shoulder just now and I will be your partner in any fashion in which you will have me. After we defeat the pirate Fifi and his villainous crew on "The Black Pearl," we will be returning to FranknNikki's Island. Will you be pawfasted...

Sorry if this offends anyone's politics, I just thought it was incredibly funny! ; On the ballot this November the voters will decide whether or not to name a sewage treatment plant after Pres Bush. San Franciscans can contribute daily to this bush monument. If it passes, one of the...

8 weeks after my successful interview at St Thomas for the histopathology job - 6 weeks after I KNOW my references were taken up and returned and 5 weeks after I got my occupational health clearance (so by this time, I was thinking I hadn't got it and worrying which of my referees I should never...
