Bird Emits Bug Repellant - Exception to Ban on Human Chimeras Expected Fairbanks, Alaska (Daily News-Miner) -- By applying a little scientific intuition and sacrificing some of his own blood, a University of Alaska researcher has found a bird in the Aleutian Islands that emits a unique, naturally...

Fez and Rufous are going tomorrow (Saturday) morning for their annual checkup. They are very healthy, so I don't anticipate any surprises there, but can I get some purrs so they don't yowl the entire time? People think I'm killing my cats when they go to TED! -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and...

Not now Cali, I'm busy. Mrrr, Mrrr, Mrrr .... OK, but just for a few minutes. Meep. Up Cali.

Cast of Characters: Sammy - 15 month old female kitten Bandit - 15 year old female cat Mommy - *MUCH* older female human Last night Mommy was having a very restless sleep, so around 3AM she had to take a second sleeping pill. This means that Mommy was not awake at her customary time of 7AM.

I bet he isn't, who's cats have these endearing qualities other than mine? 1. Whines for me to go in kitchen, I assume he needs either food or wants to go in the garden, so I follow him into the kitchen, nope there's still food in the bowl and when I open the door he doesn't go out (b/f said he...

Leather Lace Missing since Thursday Night we'll put a picture in here Much loved pale blue leather lace, last seen on hallway mat. Does not answer to any name. Beautiful long lace, slightly chewed both ends, hard from wetness at one end. If you have seen the leather lace, please call...

Yes, that's *me* - the mere hoomin. *I* am a mighty huntress. Waffles has taught me well. ;-) Earlier this evening I caught a glimpse of something small and rodent-like running across the floor. Something brought in by one of the three felines. I said nothing to Vernon as if I tell him there's...

Just to let you know, Trouble had his stitches out today. All looks fine :-) Thanks again for the purrs. They done good. -- Mogget

Helen, I've been trying to ring you since yesterday. After three failed attempts, I reported to BT that each time I rang your number, I was connected to a different number. Tonight, I've again tried to ring you. This time, I've got only a ringing tone. Could you either send me your phone number...

Poor girl has such troubles. She has often had trouble with bouts of diarrhea but more so since we discovered her heart trouble. Last night she was soooooo uncomfortable. And when she is uncomfortable she wants to eat. Then she throws up because she ate too much and because of the diarrhea...

Dear All, I need advice. I am well ****ed off with next doors Jack-Russell-from-hell. The Fracking thing keeps yapping & barking and disturbing my nap. To add insult to injury, the ******* chased me twice this morning when I was out doing my rounds. I of course smacked it in the head with all my...

Off the Coast of Africa It has been a very busy time for us since I last updated this chronicle. The fat wench is going to be going to school, but will be spending money, not earning it. I don't understand, but what do I know, I'm just the cat. We had a wild visit to Great Britain. First we...

I used to subscribe to rec.pets.cats many, many moons ago and told tales of my black cats, Basil and Sage. I recently found the messages and they are from 1995! Anyone been here that long and remember them? Well, they're still going and still lots of fun. I had said they were about 4 in those...

Since almost everyone's moving out of our building this week there's been quite a lot of furniture left out at the dumpster. People aren't supposed to do that but since they're leaving they don't care... I acquired a small bookshelf and a large cream metal shelf/stand thingy and brought them...

Dear Friend, I thought you might be interested in this HSUS campaign to increase protections for dogs and cats at mass breeding facilities. As you know, puppy mills are large scale breeding operations that churn out animals with little regard for humane treatment. What you may not know is that many...

I even think it was Jill who answered, but I'll be damned if I can find the message. Must be senility. So, who makes the outdoor cat tunnels/enclosures. I'd like one with a bottom, since it will be sitting on the patio stones, not staked to the lawn. TIA

I'm going back to the island tomorrow. In about a week I should be back with the cats, and then I will fetch LEO (orwhateverhisnamewillbe)!!! I just looked at the pictures I took of him in his foster home (the brown tabby at http://community.webshots.com/album/369334917nDLGmi), and remembered what...

We got our guys this: http://www.thecatconnection.com/Turbo-Scratcher.html for Kuamani and Tyche's adoption day (today, Lammas, August 1) and Smokey's adoption day (August 10). So far, all three have been playing with it, particularly with the ball in the track. Even Smokey is doing his...
