I always thought and posted that my first post in here was in February 1998. Well I went exploring today and, guess what? My first post was in March 1999. I posted a reply about strange things that our cats brought into the house by telling how Berfert brought QC in to live. The post is as...

Here in central Iowa we're getting heavy rain, but nothing like what the folks in the Houston area are getting. Things are actually really mild here. But... Nancy was on the way home from work tonight and got delayed by a huge traffic accident. We had plans to go out to dinner when she got...

Hey Tweed, here's a tip for cleaning KFC next time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17WW_p1N7BQ ***BW***

Aggie is home and under her bed. She is PO'ed because they stole some of her fur from her right front leg but other than that she is doing well and is very calm. She is to eat breakfast and dinner only, nothing in between and to get one unit of insulin after each meal. Dr. Hernandez will see...

I had to do some shopping yesterday and one place I went in had the prettiest little long hair tabby strectched out on the floor waiiting for some lovin', which of course I felt I had to give. And the lady the other side of the counter said "That's Sue. She came in about 4 weeks ago, starving and...

Louie's come down with an upper respiratory infection. He saw TED yesterday, and got antibiotics for any secondary infection he might have. He's clearly miserable, sneezy, snorfling. He's still eating well, and sleeping a lot. Purrs would be gratefully accepted, as well as stay-healthy purrs...

Let us know how you are doing with the tropical storm comming through. We should be getting rain and wind later today. I'm not near the coast so we shouldn't have any flooding. Purrs for everyone in the part. -- Ann

Knock wood, it's finally happening: Lily is outgrowing her fear and loathing of Eli. She no longer runs and hides when she sees him coming, and this morning I had both of them on my lap and purring at the same time, and she let him lick her head. Fingers are crossed that nothing bad happens...

June phoned to say Pudding passed away in her sleep last night curled up in her duvet. June wanted to thank you all again for purring for her, she did get such a good result from your purrs and we thought it might last.. She said "I guess it must have been her time." Tweed

Shadow got the zoomies tonight, it was so funny watching a normally staid ex-feral dashing round the room and pouncing on greeblings just for the fun of it. It's amazing how he's changed in the four months he's been inside. The only thing that does upset me is he occasionally attacks Baggy for...

I took Aggie to see Dr. Hernandez this morning. Over the past two weeks she has slowly developed behavior strange to her. She slowly stopped grooming her lovely black and silver tabby stripes, she started lying on her side stretched out full body length in the hall way and on the kitchen...

Nothing important, it was just time for his yearly checkup and shots. The main thing is, however, is that my MonsterCat needs to go on a diet. He's not really fat, but he does have some pudge. He jumped from nearly 16 pounds last year, to 18 pounds, 6.5 ounces!!!! He truly is a MonsterCat...

We get our internet access through Time Warner cable, using Earthlink as our server, right? Anyway about 2 pm yesterday, my internet went out. I checked with Time Warner and found out that we had a "local outage" for all the services offered. Repair time estimated to be 90 minutes. ACK!!! I...

We had Fluffy's stitches taken out at the same TED visit as Shadow's. Fluffy was very good and didn't bite or growl once. She wasn't *happy* aboutthe stitches being pulled from ear, but she's much relieved that the strange thing that has been attached to it has finally gone. It looks *almost*...

Our local "Tesco's" is being refitted from next Friday we'll have a new improved deli counter. I asked one of the staff on the deli what the improved one will be like and she replied "Half the size" when I said that didn't sound too improved to me she rolled her eyes and gave a shrug, which plainly...

Bottom line: we are in San Antonio. First, I want to send serious purrs and prayers for the safety of those in Ike's path. It appears that our home is south enough to no longer be in the target zone, but we did not know that until we got here. We are fortunate to have been able to get ourselves...

I've been sequestered since Wednesday at the Convention Center here in Austin, where I was co-chair of the 2008 Out and Equal Workplace Summit. It was an exhilarating experience, I've never before spoken before 2500 people! :) Purrs to all those in need. Victor -- Victor M. Martinez

WELCOME AT RAINBOW BRIDGE (Adapted from the original) by Alexander Theodore, Bouvier, Fourth Year Resident On the morning of September 11, 2001, there was an unprecedented amount of activity at the Rainbow Bridge. Decisions had to be made. They had to be made quickly. And, they were. An issue,...

FYI, a voluntary pet food recall has been announced by the FDA and Mars Petcare US. This involves possible Salmonella contamination. More information can be found at the below sites. This involves both Cat and Dog dry food under various brand names all produced by Mars...
