Hi everyone

It's been a long time since I read this ng. I've notice many new people and many people who are still around from when I was a regular contributor to RPCA. We've built up such a history here now that a few years on sabbatical hardly seems noticible nowadays. If you hadn't said anything, I would have just thought, "Oh, it's Dewi." I'm sorry to hear about Monty and Tink and Mango. I did like your kitty stories. You might remember that I put Tink down as a "kind cat" in a cat superlatives list I posted a few years ago. |

Hi all, It's been a long time since I read this ng. I've notice many new people and many people who are still around from when I was a regular contributor to RPCA. For those who don't remember me and/or don't know me, I am the proud human of 9 cats. Which I now realise is an insane number. However they are here to stay and I love them to bits. I'm from Australia and use to be a RPCA addict. So things have changed a bit for me. I moved to Brisbane (from Armidale) in January with my hubby (Neil) and my crazy cats (and rats). Since I last posted, two of my original cats have died; Monty from feline AIDS and Tink died recently and very suddenly at the vets when she was under anesthetic (she went in for an x-ray!). Mango went missing in 2003 (I may have posted about this). This was a stressful and sad time (as you can imagine) and still makes me feel teary and guilty. Since Mango, the cats have been confined to large enclosures, and have access to part of the house. The cat enclosure is a work in progress, with extensions, walkways and furniture planned for when my DH gets leave and when the budget allows. We've worked out how to make relatively cost effective cat enclosures using orchard netting. Anyway I look forward to reading more posts. Cheers, Dewi.

Ha ha, Tink, kind! She was the cheekiest rat bag who caused me no amount of stress. She had the personality of a rebellious teenager. Holidays cut short because of her dissapearing; late nights stressing and teary as she refused to come back for dinner (knowing full well that she would be showered with hugs and kisses when she sauntered in at 3am). Having said that, when she died there was a bigger sense of loss as she was such a character. Actually, to be honest, she had finally mellowed in her middle age. However I must have missed that post of cat superlatives as I don't actually remember it! Dewi. She was very much a character! She was a special cat. I found a copy of the superlatives list. It was just a list I jotted down while bored one evening in 2002, so it's out of date, but many of these kitties are still with us: Big cats: Jen's Muggles Krista's Yukon Pam's Berfert Pam's QC Regis's Creampuff TJ's Dusty Naughty cats: Aim's Calvin Susan's Otis Genius cats: Liz's Trinket Mwrenn's Crash Shed Reggie's Hale Bopp Susan's Chester Dumb cats: Gilcat's Gilbert Rob's Taffy Stacey's Sid Cute kittens: Bean's Ripken Fletcher's Penelope Flippy's Chloe Helen and Debbie's Daisy Blossom Jeanette's Madeleine Jennifer's Milo Kim's Bailey KKat's Missy Lynda's Witchy Poo Renee's Gizzi Roger's Reina Susan's Onyx Zorin's Lynxie Depressed cats: Pam's Berfert Alpha cats: Beth's Major Barbara Renee's Baby Stacey's Patrick Aspiring alpha cats: Andrea's Flo Pam's Pine Cone Stacey's Mr. Bob Tragic cats: Bev's Ollie Henry's Frost JEM's Hawk (human) Kim's Bailey Larry's Orange Peel Liz's Trinket Rachel's Clawdiepuss Reggie's Hale Bopp The Central Scrutinizer's Gizmo The Central Scrutinizer's Jessi Painstakingly befriended cats: Eva's Pandora Julie's Selena Liz's Noel Shirley's Big Tabby Tracy's Callie Bonded cats: Christine's Omar and Oreo Helen's Sam and Pandora Henry's AlleyCat and LittleBit J.

I'm from Australia and use to be a RPCA addict. I don't know if you were still posting when I started reading RPCA. Right now I'm not keeping on top of all the posts here, but I do try to read at least the first post in a thread, even if I don't respond to everything. I have a female cat named Oscar who drove me crazy recently when her paw was injured and I had to medicate her and keep her confined to the bedroom. She seems very well now, though, and isn't overgrooming her paw anymore (which is what caused all the damage, licking because her paw was irritated). Hope to see further posts from you. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Genius cats: Smudge, if I may say so myself... She definitely doesn't sound dumb. She's one of those that have enough smarts to be dangerous. Yeah. She's smart, combined with extremely willful. When she wants something, she will not stop until she's either manipulated the handy nearby human to do it for her, or figured it out for herself! Bonded cats: J. Wermont's Roxy and Smudge Sadly, not any more. Roxy has decided that she wants to imitate Licky and be mean and annoying to Smudge. So they're not really pals anymore. That's too bad. Is that why Roxy likes going out these days? Smudge is the indoor/outdoor cat, and I'm sure it doesn't hurt. But she's always had a longing for the outdoors, even before I adopted Roxy (back in 1998). She used to escape out the front door every chance she got. One reason I adopted Roxy was in the hope that if she wasn't so lonely inside, she might not care about going out. And she did get less lonely, which was nice, but still wanted to go out. It's just in her genes, apparently. Roxy and Licky don't seem to care about the Out at all. Fearless cats: J. Wermont's Roxy You know why she's in this category? It's because she likes to be centrifuged. LOL!!! Does that make her fearless, or just weird? Joyce |

There are so many lost friends in there and so many memories as well. Please keep this one, but maybe make an updated one as well. Please? Pam S. |
