Grrrrrr! by
jmcquown[_2_]
Have you ever had this happen? Buffy loves a particular brand of dry
food. It's the store brand - Publix *premium*. Good quality food. In
a side by side comparison with Blue Buffalo brand it ticked all the same
boxes. The first ingredient was chicken, second brown rice and it
contained...

Nipsy going for an operation by
dgk
His left ear canal is blocked by something, maybe cancer, maybe a big
polyp. I know that he has something in his lungs based on a month old
X-Ray, but he's had issues with his left ear for years and the vet
thinks it could be a polyp. Whatever it is, it's blocking us from
treating an infection...

Buffy with Strangers by
jmcquown[_2_]
You just never know what Buffy might do. Today I was expecting a
service person. I have a contract for the HVAC unit, they clean it out
and change the filters. When the guy arrived, Buffy ran to the front
door, sat down and meowed at him. Hello! Then she flopped over, rolled
on her back,...

Nipsy gets a very bad report by
dgk
He's been scratching his right ear a lot. It's happened before and
he's had some infection so I figured that this seemed to be a repeat
performance. But the vet said that his heart murrmur has gotten worse,
and there is a large growth in his ear that is causing the infection.
He's 16, so maybe the...

Buffy on the sofa by
jmcquown[_2_]
Buffy rarely snoozes on the sofa in the living room. I took a pic of
her looking very comfy a few days ago:

Here's a funny memory. When I brought my cat Persia (RB 2014) here my
mother insisted I get a sheet out of the closet and cover the sofa...

Duffy has gone to the Bridge (Oct. 16, 2017) by
MaryL
I am heartbroken to report that my wonderful Duffy has gone to the
Bridge. He had a wonderful report at his last check-up a month ago, and
his health failure came on remarkably fast. My sister is visiting from
Ohio, and he was happy and playful when we left for dinner yesterday. He
had jumped...

my Chloe is dying by
Jack Campin
19 years old, long-term thyroid problem which we've been treating,
but she's been getting steadily thinner and weaker and now she can
hardly walk. Almost no interest in food - drinks a lot, including
Whiskas "cat milk" formula which is about her only real source of
nutrition now.
She spent years...

A big Ooops! by
jmcquown[_2_]
I'm not fond of being scratched, however inadvertently. Since Buffy
won't let me trim her nails I've taken to putting a folded towel across
my lap when she wants to sit on me when I'm typing.
After a play session with her earlier I wanted to check email and
newsgroups. I put the towel in my...

cat and human reunited after the Grenfell fire by

I can sort of understand this - when we had a serious fire and
had to get out because of the smoke, it took nearly a week before
we saw our four cats again. They were all huddled behind the
fridge. But the Grenfell fire was vastly...

Jellicle Ball, 2017 by
cshenk
Hi all! Sometime very long back, back enough that no one remaining
really remembers it except as historical trivia,
Rec.pets.cats.community (RPCC) and this group split off.
The two groups are very different now. RPCC is very much a storyboard'
group now where pet owners post 'as' their pets. ...

Okey Doke... I tried Facebook by
jmcquown[_2_]
Sorry, I can't stand it.
Even with the "add on" Mishi suggested, it's an entirely too busy
interface. I just want to talk to people I know and share stories and
pics of our cats. I don't want to have to block ads and newsfeeds and
all sorts of other crap and who is friends with who else. ...

Marlo's visit to my place by

While Irma had many bad inpacts, it was sort of interesting to see
what Malro thought of visitihg her old home. Just to bring everyone up
to date, Marlo was my cat (along with Scooter and Nipsy) but in the
move down to Florida I picked up a semi-feral named Baby. Apparently
Marlo had some beef with...

Buffy Finally Noticed the Hummingbirds! by
jmcquown[_2_]
Since Hurricane Irma blew through there is a lot of competition at the
hummingbird feeder. Buffy never really paid any attention to them
before. Today, they were battling around the feeder. She hopped up on
the back of the couch and sat there, fascinated, as they zoomed around
fighting each...

Reporting from a Hurricane by

Buffy and I are fine. The power has blinked on and off a few times.
The winds are gusting to about 50 MPH and it's raining a lot.
A stubborn little hummingbird insists on coming around so I hung her
feeder back out. I figured if she can brave the storm she deserves to
eat. :) I even saw her...

Ping: dgk! by

Are you planning to evacuate for Hurricane Irma? Your mother and Marlo
with her along with Baby and all the cats?
There are people from Florida already moving, booking motels and hotels
(pet friendly) and travelling well ahead of the hurricane. It hasn't
even hit the States yet.
Got any...

I'm heading off to a small family reunion - just the immediate family
and kids and spouses and cousins and such. Naturally I'm panicking

I won't have newsgroup acess...

Cat grass - tastier than cobwebs! by
Takayuki
When I was at a friend's house last week, I noticed that she had a large,
but slightly wilted bunch of grass sitting on a bench.
I asked her if it was cat grass, and it was! But unfortunately, she said
that her cat showed no interest in it, which is why she'd stopped bothering
to water it. She...
