The other morning before dawn I thought I heard Rusty's voice. But that couldn't be. He sleeps in his own room with the door closed. It is one of the few doors he can't open. His room is at the other end and I shouldn't be able to hear him. Then I drifted off to sleep, and heard the noise again. I...

Persia climbed along the edge of the shower with me after I went to the pool... it's another 100 degree day here and I took a dip at at the apartment pool, then took a cool shower. It's hotter than Hades here in west Tennessee so I took a nice cool shower. Persia hates water but she decided it...

The street where I periodically do some special errands is pleasingly populated with shop cats, so I get to visit with them. The first is Mr. Tea, who lives in the Leaf and Bean coffee shop (not a cafe, but a store where you buy coffees and teas). Mr. Tea is a small white medium long hair with...

This is a text-only newsgroup. Please do not post binaries into this newsgroup. Besides, your post being yEnc-encrypted, a fair lot of us only got a load of gibberish, not a photo of a cat. Should you want to show us a photo of your cat, feel free to post it to alt.binaries.pictures.animals, or...

Miranda just yodelled! She has been very talkative the last few days. Usually she has a very varied repertoire of meaows, mrows, mrooos, mah-mah-mahs etc. But this was the first time she went into a falsetto yodel. It was like Meow-meow-meow-YODEL-meow-meow-meow-YODEL! I wish I could figure out...

i have a story about my cat. i also need advice. i posted it on the google cat health & behavior forum this morning and only got smarta$% replies. it seems there's a little more traffic on this forum and hopefully i will get more constructive advice. please send purrs to my kitty to calm him down....

..........and the cats are not impressed. It was an attempt to get them, Mayhem in particular, to eat some to act as a laxative. Mayhem is prone to hairballs and that last thing i need is a gastric obstruction. *sigh* I did take a bit and held it in front of her nose but she didn't...

Sherry, I was hoping for an update today! How is she doing? Is she acting much more friendly without the sticker and eating like a pig? Rhonda

When I was about 16 years old there was a little girl who lived down the street. She was in advanced stages of leuikemia and wanted to go fishing. She wore a kercheif; she didn't have any hair due to radiation treatments. Dad took her and her father fishing in his boat. She caught a rather...

I never shut the door to the closet in this room (my office). It's always ajar at least 5 inches. That closet is Persia's hidey-hole and nap spot. She loves to snooze on the plush rolled-up comforter in this closet. She disappeared for a few hours so I assumed she was napping on said...

"Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Well, I couldn't resist this silly toy, so I went looking around for a place to buy it. There are NO places in my part of the worl that carry it. It is made by Bandai, and is called...

First let me say, thank you. Thank you to all of you wonderful people who shared in my sorrow this past weekend. Marina, it pleases me to know that Selena almost shared a birthday with Nikki. Thank you Pat, Lois, and Bev. Ginger-lyn, I will be calling you soon. I can finally talk about Selena...

I got a lot of giggles over the ones posted over the last week. I have to share one. Today I came home and when I walked in, I saw something shredded at the top of the stairs. It was a roll of toilet paper. Hmmm, that's new, I thought. Brought in the rest of the groceries and then cleaned up...

This little girl has been in the shelter since 2000. That is at least 6 years. I can't imagine that. At least she's in a foster home. Ok peeps, if you had a foster for 6 years, wouldn't you be calling her "yours" by now? ;) My original intent in posting her Petfinder ad was to help find...
