Jake has been missing his sister, who went to the bridge in April, so I decided to find a friend for him. I found a few cats on Petfinder at the humane society that I wanted to check out. As soon as I sat down in the cat room, a medium hair black cat sat next to me and put his front paws on my...

I'm getting my living room painted on Tuesday, so I've been slowly emptying the room out, moving furniture and stuff into my other rooms. I did it bit by bit so I wouldn't hurt myself by lugging too much stuff on the same day. At this point, the living room is nearly empty, to the point where the...

Frank and Nikki used to have a definite 'pecking' order, i.e. grooming order; several times a day, Nikki would walk up to a sleeping Frank and assume a position in front of his nose, and he would wake up and immediately start grooming her. It was as if she ordered him to groom her, but at the...

I'm not responding to personal emails for a while (possibly forever at this rate) because I am seriously infested by computer viruses or is that viruii? Please don't think I'm being rude, I'm just trying to lessen the potential for infestation of my friends. Next month, I hope to take the hard...

Watch out for it on your PBS station, but beware, there are some sad moments in the story. But needless to say the Cheetah cubs are beautiful. -- Nik Simpson

So much is going on on rpca! I wish to offer blanket purrs to all who need them. Healing/health purrs (for furballs or hoomins), purrs for losses, purrs for hope. (Purrs for Ginger-Lyn's "new" waterbed to be set up ASAP!) Persia has been purring up a storm for everyone the last few days. ...

Persia was on her back, her back legs splayed out and her front paws tucked to her chest. Her head was tilted to the side. Her eyes were open but only slightly, as if she was so sleepy they were drooping. Then I noticed her eyes were crossed. And one of her back paws twitched a few times. Then...

Dante came swaggering out of the kitchen carrying something this evening, and my mom said "Ohh- no! What is that!?" And my heart sank to see it was a still-alive mouse in his mouth. Dante's first real mouse! To my knowledge, he hadn't seen one before. We had the house rodent-proofed before...

A friend with whom I used to work sent me a link yesterday to a story out of Little Rock, Arkansas. She asked, "Do you remember this guy?" Oh heck yeah! I remember the name and the face, even though it's been 14 years since I've seen the guy and can't remember what he did at work. He's been...

I'e mentioned Marilyn, our Brandy-candy's foster mama, on a few occasions. i heard she's gotten really bad with the ALS ("Lou Gehrig's disease".) I just heard today that they've put a feeding tube in her stomach; she is confined to a wheelchair; and though a very small, slight woman, needs a...

I was sitting in bed under the covers before I put on hand lotion and turn off the light. I hear a loud purring in the hallway. " Where is mommy's kitty, come see mommy" I said. Samwise is standing in the doorway. Then he leaps onto the bed and lays down near me. He never gets on the bed at...

The painting of the livingroom is in progress, and I had both cats shut in my bedroom, with what I thought was all their necessities - food, water, litterbox, scratching post, and toys. But there was one thing missing - *me*. I've been in my office, on the computer, or doing chores in the kitchen,...

There have been so many posts for purrs of all kinds - healing purrs (both for furballs and hoomins), purrs for losses, purrs for hope... just wanted to say Persia has been purring up a storm for everyone the last few days. I've added my own version of purrs, whichever kind(s) you may need. Jill

One of my friends fosters rescue kitties in Hong Kong... and he just sent me this video. Check out the *ears* on this hungry little boy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsbhK_NpWcE The baby is 4 weeks now and doing fine, along with his mostly-white brofur. There's an evil rumour that I might be...

I went to Italy almost two years ago-- certainly time to go back. But it struck me as a great place for cats. Italians love cats because they're beautiful, alive and eat mice and rats, and many believe that it was cats that saved the population from plague many times over. Italian feed the...

A cat is baffling his owner by wandering off at night before expecting to be collected by car every morning at exactly the same time and place. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/dorset/7092301.stm -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your...
