When I wake up early and wander into the kitchen for food, soda, water, ninja weapons or the such, Harvey is always right there, yelling at me. I don't get it. He has food and water. What's he yelling at me for?

Dot Gerecke is suffering a flare-up ofher fibromyalgia and as such, is in alot of pain. I was trusting that, as part of the "We support Patty, Liz, Dot & Senyah" crowd, we could some purrs over to her, especially while Dave is away. Yowie

Hi folks. Just *finally* got through all the posts. We all talk too much!!!!! I noticed we have a ton of purr requests so I'd like to start a purr chain, I'll be the first link. Purrs and prayers to all furr-butts and hoomins alike that are in need of them!

Mike is under the gun. He either has to have a job, have arranged to enter some sort of school, or be accepted into the Job Corps before the 24th. He's been playing with it for some time now. He realized the other day that both Rob and I are serious this time. He's been frantically putting...

I played bridge over the weekend, and did not watch the rugby - far too early in the morning. Very kindly, no-one told me about it, and I watched my video of it 36 hours later. Phew! Easy peasy! Just a drop goal ...... -- David Stevenson Storypage: http://blakjak.com/sty_menu.htm

This is my first message. The first one I read was "Goodbye Dear Tigerness" by Mark Edwards. This got me hooked. Mark writes beautifully. His message was sad, but made me feel good at the same time. I would like to begin with a question. I have a strictly house cat that loves her daily ration...

"Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... First of all, thanks to all of you who sent condolences, purrs, and such. They are very much appreciated. Presto was a very good cat, and his spirit lives on in my heart. So sorry to...

Mark Edwards wrote: In memoriam, Presto Magiccat, 1989 - 2003 Oh, damn - I'm so sorry, Mark. I know how badly it hurts.

My brother and sister-in-law are visiting this weekend. I live in Texas and they live in Pennsylvania, so this was my sister-in-law's first opportunity to See Duffy. She "oohed" and "awwed" properly over both of my cats, but they especially wanted to see Duffy climb the cat tree because they had...

The movie "Ghost Cat" on Animal Planet played again yesterday, and I was able to tape it this time. If anyone wants to borrow the tape, just drop me an e-mail. That is, anyone with an NTSC tv rather than PAL.

The sugeon called while I was out, as always on weekend mornings, with the bicycle club. My wife took the call. Apparently Lester is not only doing well, but substantially better than expected. He's demanding affection from everyone, and has eaten a little bit of food off peoples' fingers. They...

Egads, this cat is falling apart! Today one of his lower canine teeth just fell over. It is hanging out his mouth in a most snaggletooth kinda way. It doesn't seem to bother him. He let me touch it. I thought I might be able to pull it out but it didn't come out to easily. He wolfed down a...

Persia is being particularly chatty today; I don't know why. She keeps looking at me and uttering "Ow! Ow ow! MROW!" I follow her around, thinking maybe she'll give me some clue. Nope, can't be the food, she has plenty of that (although she is extra vocal in the kitchen). Nope, she doesn't...

That little charmer Max is winning over the ornery Miss Emily. Emily left her spot (snuggled up by my side) at some point during the night, and Max claimed it. When Emily returned, I braced myself for the round of hissing and Max-bopping that was sure to follow. And what happened? Emily walked...

Bonnie has tasted forbidden fruit twice this week and she likes it! She killed a sparrow chick on Monday and on Tuesday murdered a baby blackbird. The shutters have come down and the cat house has come into its own. The section is alive with the sound of cheeping chicks and Bonnie is beside...

A lot of cats and humans seem to be doing not so well. I'm afraid I have another one to add to the purr list. Nikki's asthma has been playing up, and all through the night she was wheezing so hard, while lying on my legs as usual, that this worried Meowmie got virtually no sleep. Nikki seemed...

I am an expert at computer stupidities. When I read some of these I cringed with embarrassment all over again. My knowledge of RAM was a case in point, lol. http://rinkworks.com/stupid/ Have fun and some of you might cringe like me. Let's hear some of your bad moments. Bev

Not anew subject, I'm sure...sorry to repeat. Not that I see an answer, but ever since we, now I, have had cat(s), I've tried to feed/watch birds without making them targets. I don't feed birds now, and when Bert fetches a mouse/srew/etc I'm used to it. Funny, sometimes he just calls-to-announce,...

I humbly (being only a hoomin) offer this song to those aboard the Good Ship Mouser. I hope that it meets with approval. For those who don't know the original tune, find someone who does rennaissance faires, SCA, or likes sea chanties. Odds on they *will* know this one. Traditionally, songs like...

England win the rugby world cup! Oh yes! What an excellent match between England and Australia down in Sydney. So close-fought. What a difference the rugby players are to those namby-pamby over-paid, over-egoed soccer players ;-) Sw-ing low, swweeet chaaaaareeeottt! I have an incredible urge to...
