Koala update by
Joy
The progress continues. Koala still hasn't let me pet him, but I now
have hopes it could happen.
Last night I woke up twice to find him snuggled against my legs or hips.
The last time he was actually within reach. I put my hand down beside
him. Instead of slapping it hard, as he has in the...

My super power by
Mark Edwards
Just a little while ago, Senyah was in the kitchen. Little Feet followed
her in there, and started meowing at the top of his lungs.
I was in the hallway at the time, and asked Little Feet, "Can you meow
more quietly? Maybe even silently?"
I had to laugh when he looked mournfully at me and gave...

Goofy Just got the scare of a lifetime by
Matt Ferrari[_4_]
We were just both out on the patio and this concrete semi
came crashing around the corner of the cuddlesac with smoke and dust
billowing up as it jammed on his brakes with a loud rumble.
(btw I have no idea how he could have been driving that fast on this
street?)
Goofy dived so fast into the...

Persia & Milk by
jmcquown[_2_]
Ah, I miss having a little sweet grey cat meow at me when I open the
refrigerator!
Persia loved milk. I'd give her a little drizzle of it every once in a
while. But it did get to be a trial any time I went near the
refrigerator. She always assumed I was getting milk. I'd have to say,...

Melisande - R I P by
EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)
Alas, a few days at the vet's brought no improvement. Neither the
medications (which they managed to administer) nor steroid injections
had any effect on the bloody stools. It was a hard decision to make,
since she remained in good spirits (although sleeping a lot more than
usual) and eating...

Another Persia story: Persia & the Milk Jug Ring by
jmcquown[_2_]
This has got to be one of the cheapest improvisational cat toys around.
The milk jug ring. :)
It didn't take but a split second of my tossing it on the floor before
Persia was batting it all over the place. She played with it over the
course of a couple of days and I'd toss it for her, too. ...

First of all, one came to turn my gas supply off at 8 a.m. Boyfie had not
long had his breakfast and was cleaning his face and paws prior to deciding
whether to out for toilet duties shortly or a bit later when the gas man

Last night by
Joy
I never thought I’d be thrilled to be waked up from a sound sleep in the
middle of the night, but that happened last night. About 1:30 a.m. I
woke to the feeling of my feet being repeatedly pounced on and batted.
I lay there for a couple of minutes, wishing Pickles would settle down
and go...

Persia Tales: Patches of Sunshine by
jmcquown[_2_]
My sweet little girl always did seek out patches of sunshine. :)
The apartmment where I lived in Tennessee (when Persia demanded she move
in with me) wasn't particularly a bright, sunlit place. I did open the
blinds to the sliding patio doors when I left for work so she'd have
some sunlight...

Scooter doesn't smell treats by
dgk
It's pretty weird but has always been this way. Nipsy gently reminds
me, over and over, that I have neglected to put out the treats. I drop
a few Temptations (chicken) in front of him and Marlo, and a few in
front of Scooter.
Nipsy and Marlo devour them. Scooter sniffs around, as if he was
looking...

I Brought Persia Home by
jmcquown[_2_]
Today I was finally able to bring myself to make the trip back to the
vet to pick up Persia's ashes. They kindly transferred her ashes to the
small urn for me.
I had thought I'd set the urn on the fireplace mantle, then I had a
change of heart. There's a two-tier antique round table in the...
