Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. John D. Kasupski Niagara Falls, NY

Every year, some things in the house get inspected, it's regulation. First thing that bugged me, the guy decided on our appointment all by himself, I had no notice, he just banged on the wooden shutters, rang the bell as if to wake the dead and demanded to be let in. Secondly, he looked at me as...

Thanks for the continued purrs for John, everyone! Like a yo-yo, things have been up and down. The initial surgery included a temporary pacemaker to regulate his heart. Apparently that wasn't doing a sufficient job. Yesterday morning they put in a permanent pacemaker. They have moved him...

I'm copying this over from RPCC: The rec.pets cats.community Sekrit Samta program and Christmas card exchange IS running again this year, but the web site is way behind schedule. Until I get the site back up I am accepting signups through my email ). If you'd like to...

I was looking out the back door yesterday and there was a black squirrel splayed out on the deck sunning itself. I was surprised by how relaxed it looked. We don't have red squirrels here, just the larger black and grey squirrels. But this year we actually have a red squirrel and it's a real runt....

Hello Everyone, I'm new here, thought I'd give it a try - need some cheering up, as much as the cats excell at this, some human comfort would be welcome too. I am crazy about cats, all have been rescues, I can not fault them - the only time I'm unhappy with them is when they fall sick. So, at most...

As some of you may know after almost 2 years of trying I finally got a permanent job! Doing the paperwork there's some sort of insurance policy so if I die in service there will be money to be paid out and I get to nominate who gets what share So a third each to both my brothers so they can...

Babou's motto. Very much like wanting cuddles while I was carrying a tray to the kitchen or doing the dishes, Babou's wishes were better anticipated. She didn't like not being with me, not seeing me, the closer the better and up to a point you could say I was the same. And shower time was no...

And shared secrets. Unless there's a special telepathic bond for kitties who aren't all there. Rat suffered from epilepsy for most of the 15 years she gifted us with her presence. We took every measure possible to prevent her seizures, they could be extremely violent and at the very beginning so...

Smokey is the sole remaining kitty from our original clowder, but she is getting up in age. Between her arthritis, her laziness and her belly she finds it hard to wash some of her parts. Combined with her loose stools this has led to a sticky/stinky cat. But she still has all of her marbles and she...

But first, I have to take care of something for Kitten. He's short and fat, which means some areas are hard to reach to clean by himself, bless him. Kitten's bedtime preferences involves such closeness though, I insist on a dingleberry-free Kitten's bum. No, really, I do. No one wants to wake up...

Not literally. :) I had the audacity to go out and run errands today. I felt sure I'd given Buffy plenty of attention when I got home. We played for a while. Then I turned my attention to the computer, which I haven't done for a few days. She was sitting in my lap, getting scritches. I got...

I haven't seen any posts here for a couple of days.

I have pet steps next to my bed. I bought them when Persia (RB) was having some trouble leaping up onto the bed. Buffy immediately realized these were steps for *her* to use. Of course! She inherited them. :) The problem is, when I get up in the morning she goes down the pet steps and then...

Hello all, Bridget Baker called Mark and talked to him a bit yesterday. Here is her post: Hey everyone, I had a very brief conversation with Mark Edwards last night. He is hanging in there. Right now he is isolated from the rest of the nursing home because there is evidently some kind of...

The relatives arrived today and brought a couple of their dawgs, because they had a sitter issue. Fortunately the large Bulldog stayed in the car (no it was not hot today), but the miniature BD came inside. It stayed in its crate for the most part, but Smokey stayed in bed, claiming not to know it...

Halloween is my favourite non-official holiday :) For years I've hung this cat flag out in the month of October: https://i.postimg.cc/nLsTSbBK/catflag.jpg It's just fun! Jill

I don't really understand. There are usually afternoon thunderstorms starting around May every year. It's typical for this part of South Carolina. Buffy has been through two hurricanes (Matthew and Irma) with me. Wind and rain never bothered her, nor did thunder or lightning. A thunderstorm...
