It's a Buffy-versary! by jmcquown[_2_]
Two years ago today I drove to a house a few blocks away to meet what was described as a very timid orange tabby cat named Buffy. I also met her rambunctious housemate (I think he was a Burmese) named Frankie. Their human had died a week before so they were both up for adoption. I was told...

catnip and mosquitoes by Bastette[_4_]
Jack Campin wrote: This may or may not be a good idea: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2001/08/010828075659.htm Keep your bedroom free of mosquitoes. In return, get to sleep with a roomful of drug-crazed moggies. It doesn't seem like much came of that discovery, seeing as...

Marlo getting to be normal by dgk
For a cat anyway. We took her to the vet to check on her hyperthyroid condition and she's in the normal range so the dosage she's getting must be about right. She's even gained af few ounces (that;s probably a few pebbles in British weights) and is about 7.5 lbs. Mom is a bit worried about her,...

summer's here by Jack Campin
It's been quite warm for a few days, with no rain (the garden's drying up). What that's meant for most of our male cats has been: time to hit the great outdoors. Our Ishmael used to spend most of the summer camped out in the bushes across the lane (all of 50 yards away) growling ferociously at...

Boyfriend (RB) by Christina Websell
I lost him yesterday to cancer. My ISP has decided they won't give us email addresses any more after May 31 so there's an hour left to tell you.

Not sure if Tina still has Newsgroup access by Mishi[_2_]
But she had to have Boyfie pts yesterday. Purrs for the old man, and her broken heart.

Marlo is hyperthyroid by dgk
She's been living with mom for the last few months and has been on a diet (since she was overweight).. But for the last two months or so, we knew she had dropped a lot of weight so we've pretty much been feeding her everything she wants, chicken, steak, lamb chops, salmon, well, essentially...

Where's Buffy? by jmcquown[_2_]
When Buffy isn't curled up next to me, she has her regular snooze spots. Yesterday evening, however, I couldn't find her anywhere. I checked the bedroom closet even though I keep the door closed. I checked the bathtub because she's been known to leap out from behind the shower curtain and...

How did he get in there? by Lesley Madigan
My little Ganzi girl...isn't....a girl that is! Very considerate as I am between jobs and living off my savings so as every penny helps and getting a boy done is cheaper than a girl. Over the last couple of days hes discovered the playground that is the bathroom. Last night I am sitting here...

Fluffy McBuffy by jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy has a very thick undercoat. She was sitting in my lap, getting scritches and purring to beat the band. :) In the process her fur was wafting up and sticking to my face. Time for the Furminator! An excellent de-shedding tool. It's amazing to me how much fur she sheds. I have to throw...

Back online by MaryL
I'm back online again. I replied to one of Jill's messages, but I don't know if anyone saw it because her message was so old. My old computer crashed, and I did not remember how to set up newsgroups after I bought my new one. The good news is that Duffy (now 19 years old), Nikki and Selina...

And Again... Simon's Cat! by jmcquown[_2_]
I just love this guy's little animated cartoons. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyvHcIEm5Sw&list=TLGGP3IiwQIzt8AwNTA1MjAxNw Fortunately, Buffy does not jump up on the dinner table. Persia (RB) once stole a hamburger off the bun. I'd set the plate on the coffee table, went to grab a napkin....

Bengals by Jack Campin
I dropped in to the Lothian Cat Rescue shelter today - I had a large bag of specialist cat food, surplus from a closed vet's surgery, which wasn't appropriate for our lot. So I had a wander around to meet the residents. One of them was just amazing - a Bengal/shorthair cross called Ricco (he...

Another Simon's Cat Cartoon - Cats and Boxes by jmcquown[_2_]
Persia (RB) like many cats, loved boxes. Once after being on a trip and having my mail held, it was delivered in a United States Postal plastic bin. I set the box on the floor and Persia immediately decided it was a great place to sit. I took a photo (not sure I still have it) and labelled...

Kitty Nicknames by jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy has a few nicknames. (1) Fluffy McBuffy-pants. :) She has very soft furry fluffy hindquarters. :) (2) Flippy Tail. She wags her tail. All the time. Sometimes she wags her tail in her sleep. She actually woke me up at 6AM by thwacking me in the face with
