I just started working a part time job. Today was my second day. (The schedule is rather erratic - four hours here, four hours there, every few days or so.) I got home about 4:30 this afternoon. Buffy was already unsure about my leaving for several hours every few days. I guess she figured...

A video of trained cats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLU8H07StVk Those are some fluffy, pretty and well trained cats :) Jill

For a short haired cat Buffy sure has a lot of fur! She has a very thick undercoat. I just used the Furminator de-shedding tool on her (she loves it! I highly recommend it). It was long overdue. I swear I collected almost enough fur to knit another cat. ;) She always feels so good after...

However you may celebrate, wishing you and your kitties good food, good drink, good fun, good friends on this December 25th day. :) Jill and Buffy

I have multiple pillows on my bed propped up against the headboard. Last night I was asleep with my arm stretched above my head. I felt a thump on the pillows above me. Buffy had gotten on the pillows above my head (she rarely does that). She gave my fingers a lick and then started rubbing...

From Bridget: I just got a phone call from Mark. He is back in the hospital for kidney failure. They have him on dialysis. He has been there for about a week and isn't sure how much longer he will be in. He is quite frustrated with being sick for so long but still has a sense of humor. He said to...

When I'm stretched on the couch reading a book (which happens at least once a day) Buffy has to be right there with me. She's learned to give herself ear scritches while I read. Well, one ear anyway. LOL She settles herself against the back of the couch, facing outward with her forepaws on...

I've had problems with my cable modem since late last week. Now that I can read RPCA again it appears no one is talking about anything. sigh All I contribute is Buffy is happily playing with her toys and her golf balls and other toys. :) Aside from not letting me set out a silk flower...

Anyone interested in taking part in a Christmas card exchange email me your name and address. I'll email you the list on Tuesday. Ann

I've got one scheduled for next week, December 11th. :) Jill

I don't do much in the way of decorating for the holiday season. I set a white ceramic "Christmas tree" studded with multi-coloured lights on top of a two-tier round table by the front door. When lit, it can be seen from the street. I set three stained glass angels on the the lower tier. ...

I love it when I can get a picture of her with those pretty eyes. The iris around her pupils is blue but her eyes are mostly green. I like to tell her someone painted orange stripes from her eyes down her face. Of course there is an orange M on her forehead....

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. John D. Kasupski Niagara Falls, NY

Every year, some things in the house get inspected, it's regulation. First thing that bugged me, the guy decided on our appointment all by himself, I had no notice, he just banged on the wooden shutters, rang the bell as if to wake the dead and demanded to be let in. Secondly, he looked at me as...

Thanks for the continued purrs for John, everyone! Like a yo-yo, things have been up and down. The initial surgery included a temporary pacemaker to regulate his heart. Apparently that wasn't doing a sufficient job. Yesterday morning they put in a permanent pacemaker. They have moved him...

I'm copying this over from RPCC: The rec.pets cats.community Sekrit Samta program and Christmas card exchange IS running again this year, but the web site is way behind schedule. Until I get the site back up I am accepting signups through my email ). If you'd like to...

I was looking out the back door yesterday and there was a black squirrel splayed out on the deck sunning itself. I was surprised by how relaxed it looked. We don't have red squirrels here, just the larger black and grey squirrels. But this year we actually have a red squirrel and it's a real runt....

Hello Everyone, I'm new here, thought I'd give it a try - need some cheering up, as much as the cats excell at this, some human comfort would be welcome too. I am crazy about cats, all have been rescues, I can not fault them - the only time I'm unhappy with them is when they fall sick. So, at most...

As some of you may know after almost 2 years of trying I finally got a permanent job! Doing the paperwork there's some sort of insurance policy so if I die in service there will be money to be paid out and I get to nominate who gets what share So a third each to both my brothers so they can...
