Could I have a few purrs for Juliet, please? She's not feeling well. Probably UTI, but will know for sure when I take the urine sample to the Vet in an hour or two to have it tested. Thanks in advance, Flippy.

For some reason Snoopy is purring up a storm tonight and being very affectionate. As Ginger-Lyn needs lots of purrs at the moment I'm sending them over to her. Back to the cuddles. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy, Bagheera & Shadow) Cats leave pawprints on your...

pounds head against wall The last thing I need right now. I rescued a cat. Who is living in DH's old room while I try to find where he or she belongs. pounds head against wall I can't tell the gender. Every time I get close to the rear, s/he moves. I can't tell the type of cat. I...

Persia's vet in TN faxed her records to her "new" vet here in SC. This vet was recommended by the neighbor who has the two black kitties. They do boarding (hopefully not needed any time soon!) and after hours emergency care... otherwise I'd have to drive all the way to Savannah, Georgia. Not...

Jill, I've been going over my recipe collection and I ran across your recipe for squash casserole. That might be something that I can stomach these days. Instead of yellow squash, I was wondering if you ever made it with butternut, and if so, is it best to cook the squash first? Thanks! kili

He was fed at 8 a.m and 5.30 p.m. He came in from the out at 7 p.m. to see if his bowl had miraculously filled itself in his absence. It hadn't so he went out again. He came in again at 9. It was still empty. He clawed the carpet. He does this to say "I don't think you noticed what I said...

A clip from one of the first days, when they were still a little intimidated by the huge mass of water: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z02XX6WXuf0 -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

We started out with feeding Meow Meow. Then bully boy decided to use the outside food to supplement his diet. After all, he's only 20 lbs of unneutered bulliness. Then the couple across the road and down one tossed out a pretty little orange stripey boy with white feet and tail tip. His...

There is Usenet, and there is Real Life. Sometimes I am stupid and ignore Joel and/or tell the Yowlet to go away and/or push a kitty away because I am typing a Very Important Post to here (or elsewhere on usenet) and don't want to be interrupted. By doing so, I am implying that usenet is more...

On NBC I think last night I saw a web site that some of you might like, I added it to my home page. All you have to do is visit the site answer the trivia question for the day and 20 kibble peices will be donated to animal shelters. The site is is http://freekibble.com

I noticed that when I open up the windows on a cool summer night like tonight, the house seems to get a lot livelier all of a sudden. Buster wants to be the star of the show, and from outside you can see him going from window to window, pulling aside blinds and curtains when necessary. His...

Been a while, how is everybody? (Cheryl, how are you hon? I've thought about you recently.) Ian turned two las... two months ago. (Had to think) Abi got her ears pierced yesterday and is entering fifth grade. (When I came here, she was two years old. For reference, Eve would have been 6 last...

Not much has changed. Tiger's a bit skinnier than last week, but he does eat a little bit and he drinks well. I think that's all thanks to the prednisolone I give him. If he goes on like this for much longer I'll have to get more prednisolone at the vet.......I had 10 pills left from Jingo...

Rob's parents and his sister, brother in law, and their daughter, Katey, were working on a property owned by the brother in law's father (hang in there, it gets more confusing, I think). They were repairing a barn that had seen better days and Betty (Rob's mom) and Denise (his sister) heard...

Caliban on the dock, trying to act as if he is not under constant attack from house martins. I wish I'd had the camera the first time he went out on the dock and the birds came. Caliban would put a paw up in the air, as if he expected one of the birds to just fly into his open paw....

What a strange night it was, last night. I laid down to sleep around midnight and felt uncomfortable so I got back up. Then I had a painful bout of "the runs" that lasted an hour or so, and all the while I was feeling very weird.... There was a sensation of being hugely bloated in my...
