For several weeks she's been coming in, eating, sleeping, playing. My cats have accepted her into the pack. Her owner put a collar on her so I know she's not a stray. She's a nice cat, about the same age as Hondo. She's getting about the age to go into heat. I've started locking her out of the...

My brain is so tired it's hard to think, but i think i'll let it operate a little more so I can vent. First of...

Well, yes of course I am. But some days there is just so much provocation. Junk email is bad enough. I figure TV advertising is the price I pay for the programming on TV, and at least junk mail costs the sender something and helps to support the post office. But junk email is just too...

Siamese cats are not by nature a needy animal. They are aloof. Masters of all they survey. They may permit scritches if it makes us happy and they may even share the occasional purr. Physical closeness is also permitted and everyone knows shared body heat is a good thing. And of course an...

Quick, somebody start a flame war - it's urgent, I need a recipe! ; My ex Monster-In-Law had only one good thing going for her - she cooked, and baked, from scratch, anything she put on her table. I'd gotten most of recipes and techniques early on in the marriage, but one this one that I'm...

She started sneezing a few days ago, I didn't think anything of it at first but now there is green gunk coming down one nostril. She hasn't eaten this evening and is hugging the fire. I guess she can't smell her food and feels poorly. She has CRF and cannot afford to not eat. She has never...

Can I please have some purrs for Mosey? We're taking him to TED in about an hour. Poor baby just isn't feeling good and we have alot of stress going on here, and I pray he's okay. His teeth seem to be doing okay, but he's just not feeling good. I'm worried about my cute little guy and we...

On another group I mentioned that since I deaf I can't hear water running and a friend replied with her efforts to get her cat to stop turning the water on. Reposted here with her permission. "Jo Firey" wrote in message ... My big problem...

To whoever posted about the new Sheba, I thought you'd be interested. I got a sample can in the mail today and my cats loved it. It doesn't look anything like the old Sheba and indeed is in a metal can the size of a Fancy Feast can. I guess I have another food I can add to what they will eat....

Comforting thoughts requested for our friend Susie who lost her beloved stallion http://www.abacusfarms.com/Ulrik.html Click the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page if you would like to send Susie a condolence message. Thanks, Pat

I have read posts about cats on the group that are often 14 lbs up to in the 20's, particularly USA cats. Compared with this, mine are miniscule. Boyfriend is around 7-8 pounds and KFC is 4ish. They both have access to all the gooshy and dry food that they might want and catch and eat der birdies...

The other two, with minimum complaint, accept flea collars. Ding shook his off within minutes last season. Tonight, all I did was unroll the thing, as he was enjoying the lap scratching (and I was not enjoying grooming out the fleabits)...BOOM....struggle. He just wanted to get away, and clearly...

Anyone out there have a Roku? I apologize if this is US-centric, I don't know if Roku is sold outside this country. I just bought one, and last night I set it up. It's the low-end one for regular, non-HD TV. Before I made the purchase, I checked the FAQ on their site to make sure I would be able...

See if you can get out of the Crimson Room (or is it the rubber room, lol) I am still trying! http://www.fasco-csc.com/works/crimson/crimson_e.php -- Dogs may shed, but cats shred.

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 have discovered that putting someone in KF does no good, they just keep showing on other posts of people I read. I just wish we could drop some of the stuff and move on back to our "family" type caring. Yeah, I know old lady wants harmony and life isn't like that.

I love how cats imitate the positions of those (other felines, humans, dogs, whomever) around them: http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2009/01/cat-and-baby.html -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.)

Okay, I'm in a quandary. When I adopted my neighbor's abandoned, declawed cat, I assumed anyone who'd pay for a declawing would certainly have had the animal neutered. Now I'm not so sure. My new little girl has begun behaving suspiciously like a female cat in heat! Last night she began yowling...

Got up early this morning, well at least early for a Sunday. Even after 10 years after retirement from the Army, I still wake up about 5 most mornings. Most of the time I just turn over and go back to sleep, but this morning Sammy noticed me awake and decided it was a perfect time for some quality...

I was running errands and decided to stop at the humane society and formalize our adoption of the boys. They were checking in a momma cat with 3 (or 4?) kittens, about 3 weeks old. Somebody dumped them at the pound, where they would've been euthanized, but the folks at the SPCA go there twice a...
