Without time to go deeply into details or even an outline, I ask for good thought-energy and purrs sent this way for me and my owners to be able to get a good home together in the near future. Help, help, HELP!?! I know things can go in any direction but with you all pulling & purring for us,...

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...

In fond memory of Dave... Cast of Characters: Sammy - 9-month-old female kitten Jessie - 5-year-old female cat Mommy - MUCH older female human Mommy walks through the sitting room, looks at the Christmas tree

I was bringing the dogs out for their walk the other morning and it was not quite dawn and raining, not great visibility. However, the dogs alerted me that something was going on. Samantha, the Shi Tzu puppy, was barking in a hostile manner that I have seldom heard from her before and Bear, the...

*tears* I'm crying because a cat lost her one true love. How "group-ish" is that and who else on this blessed earth would understand it and NOT be a member here already? This story is right up there with Shakespeare :) How beautiful Catherine. Grace "CATherine"...

Little Delta needs your purrayers please... she went to what was supposed to be her forever home the other day, and John just had to go and pick her up from the vet tonight - somebody who was supposed to love her didn't :( She's going to be living with John now (along with the three foster cats he...

BUT! this one has a happy ending :) I'd been told for 2 years that I didn't qualify for any sort of government assistance because (1) I don't have children and (2) I have an IRA. This didn't make sense to me because single people have to eat, too. I finally found a woman at the Tennessee Dept....

Well, it's actually on Tuesday, but DJ got me my prezzy early: A dishwasher! He asked me a month ago what I wanted, and I'd been thinking and doing some 'online window shopping'. Well, yesterday, (Sat 1/10/04), we got up early and went to one of the local home improvement warehouses (this one...

Is there a rabies vaccination for cats that lasts longer than a year? I thought there was a 3 or 5 year vaccination. The local vet says no. This is for a feral cat that is really hard to catch on a yearly basis! Thanks!

First time I've encountered this with Buffy. I don't know what got into her last night. We were asleep. She was on the bed next to me. At around 1AM she started meowing. I immediately woke up and asked, "What's wrong, girl?" I gave her some scritches and she settled down again. No sooner...

Hi, folks Boyfriend found out that Kitty FC was famous with her pic on rpca, and he wanted to be famous too. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to hack it. Faced with the camera, and still uncomfortable with being held, he wanted to get down. He is still shy. That's the first pic. The second is of...

If anyone is interested, there is a very good video that has just been posted of Fritz "The Brave" having an asthma attack. I didn't know the symptoms of asthma when Sam first presented. After about 1 1/2 weeks of his coughing I took him to the vet and my description was "that he looked like he...

When i discovered this group an d got to know all the good people here,, I hoped it would be a long time before i needed to come to you wiuth the grievous news that one of our little ones has left us. A long, LONG time. Not so. Our dear Dolly, our Odessa went into sudden respiratory failure...

My brother's elderly Siamese kitty Samantha has always been fond of sleeping, and it's not unusual for her to stay in bed for 12 hours at a time. But yesterday and today things hit a new peak. Yesterday Samantha spent all day sleeping on the front porch. This morning the county animal control guy...

Real Life has swallowed me whole lately, but we have been sending purrs out into the aether to be distributed as needed by the mothership, and will continue to do so. Hubert has decided that dishtowels do not belong on the oven door. They just don't. He's very businesslike about it; he'll walk...

I don't get it. Are kids like dogs? LOL It's all over the news that there is a frequency that kids can hear and most adults cannot. It was said that when it was discovered, the tone was used in a store somewhere in Europe that had a teen population that the proprietors didn't want loitering, so...

Hi, I am Syl. I am a B/W kept inside the little condo of my Mom and her family's. She adores me to the death and often gets too much and I run away. It got to be obvious that I am the second generation with this name, and my Mom lost the kittie who lived for over 18 years with her about a couple...

Beast stopped eating the day after we arrived back in PA, Tuesday, his yowling went harsher and when yesterday he wouldn't even sniff the sausage patty brought home from breakfast - it was as though he waited to get "home". His cairn is just a step from Max's. I'm surprised at the depth of...

Anyone wake up in the morning or come home to bird feathers in the shower, or worse yet bird beaks, legs, feathers and guts on the carpet? Our cats are the best fed cats in Oklahoma, but they still love to have a good ole' bird murder weekly. We sometimes catch them and pry the bird out of...
