I haven't had to wean an IBK for such a long time that I can't remember how I did it. Beatrice is definitely old enough to be weaned and I am not sure what to do.... So how do I get her to start drinking plain water from a bowl??? This has been my approach so far: I let her suck on my earlobe...

Rexie had already graduated from toilet tissue to paper towels, but since we got a heavy PT holder, he has to do his 'kills' up on the sink during the night! Check these out. I put just the 4 URLs up so you don't have to go thru the whole...

I'm sorry if this has already been posted and I'm asking again, but is there an out-of-the-hospital address we can use to send cards to Tweed? Thanks! Christine

X-No-Archive: Yes This morning, as Willie dove into the kitchen, he encountered Quinn right there who gave him a full body rub, Willie just blinked instead of a swat. When I got in from my ride the Gang of Four were ready for snack - except Willie, I called 'n whistled and normally he'd show up...

Did you ever play tricks on your cat? I stuck a piece of scotch tape on its back then it always crawled as if someone was pressing its back. I think it very funny. You can stunk one on its stomach if you like.

Did you ever have a "What WAS that before the cats found it?" moment? I had one this morning. I went down to the basement to make sure the cats' food and water bowls were filled, and the first thing that caught my eye was the fact that a large portion of the basement floor was covered in little...

OKAY.... which on of youse kitties got into my apartment and taught Princess Rita about the TP Greebles??? She knows I'm a massive pushover and spineless to boot, so the other day while I was in the throne room, taking care of business, she came in to get petted, and since I wasn't forthcoming,...

I guess maybe I better jump on the bandwagon and ask for purrs like everyone else. Over the years i have prayed for so many of the group with RL problems and job hunting and never thought it would happen to me. It has been a bad year anyway; but April 15 it all came to a head. I got ordered to...

This morning I had a microwave pizza for lunch. It was one of the ones that comes with a crisping ring that is supposed to make the outer crust crisp. This particular one had a couple of extra rings, and I set them aside and forgot them. Forgot them, that is, until Sundance came running out of...

Ever wondered what your name would be if you were a cat? Try the Fluffy Kitty Name Generator: http://rumandmonkey.com/widgets/toys/namegen/64/ I am Nightmare Perriwinkle. Yeah, sounds about right. Yowie

After my shower this morning I smelled a strong smell in my bedroom. It smelled like burning rubber and seemed to be concentrated near my computer. Imagining imminent meltdown and an electrical fire, I searched for the source of the smell. Nothing felt hot, but I shut things down anyway. DH,...

I've gotten a few pings from headhunters. So far, I've told them I'm looking for a direct placement, but I'm wondering if I'm ignoring a valuable resource. My thoughts so far: Everything I've heard suggests that headhunters typically want to homogenize you so that you can fit into an obvious job...

I was reading the group when I heard a weird noise behind me. Rufous was standing there, smacking his lips and chewing and foaming at the mouth. He spread foam all over the place, but I couldn't see anything in his mouth. He's done with that and now he's acting completely normal. Any idea what that...

I would appreciate some flying purrs tomorrow and on Monday. I just don't fly often and while flying itself does not bother me, I just always want to make sure I make it back to my girls. This is the first time I am taking a couple of days since Grant died and they have never been together alone...

Dear Marina, I have only just discovered the news about Nikki. I am so very sorry that she has gone. I send you sincere condolences and wish it was possible to give you a hug. Love Sheenah

I haven't paid much attention to this year's Kentucky Derby horses, so don't know much about them. I drew a horse named High Fly in a local Derby pool. All I know about him is that Zito is the trainer and Jerry Bailey will be up. Horse racing fans, what are your opinions? Do I have a chance?

Bert is a great cat. Bertha, upon initial faulty inspection by me...changed after vet's examination. No balls? Q - I see no pics posted here, tho it's a hugely popular site. What's etiquette...give a link to pics? Tho black cat is hard to see:) Brad

Youll be fine Mark, really you will I'm under a lot of stress from my schoolwork. I'm not working out, my diet has gone out the window, i'm not making a lot of money, and my kitties are wanting to be fed too. I'm trying to keep my cool and ye somehow i know things will work out. If things can...

Marina wrote: The pics didn't turn out so great, and I wouldn't have posted them, but they're the last ones I ever took of my sweet baby girl, so here they are. I think they are great pictures, because they show how loved Nikki was and how comfortable she lived. Thank you for...
