Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2006Update- Purrs for Thomas
Hi~~ Thank you for the wonderful replies! I went to visit Thomas this AM. Didn't stay too long as it seemed to upset him because he wanted to come out and wander about. He has recovered all his energy. The Vet wants him to stay until tomorrow evening so he can be sure that he is urinating on his own. I miss him very much. He is not much of a lap cat as he is too heavy for me to lift [21lbs] , but almost every afternoon while I watch my soap opera, he jumps on my lap and hides his head under my arm. Stays for about 10mins. and then goes. My daughter, who lives in Vermont, and is anxious to be a part of this group, would like to know how to get into RPCA She has a PC and 2 wonderful cats. Can anyone help? I can't as I am WEBTV. Thanks again for helping Thomas' recovery along with all the purrs!! Hazel > Hi~~ Thank you for the wonderful replies! I went to visit Thomas this > AM.

If your daughter uses Outlook Express, tell her to look for a button along the top that says "Newsgroups". When she clicks on that, she'll get a drop-down menu, listing all the newsgroups. She can scroll down to find us, or put "rec.pets.cats.anecdotes" in the little window at the top. Then all she has to do is highlight the name of the group and click on "Subscribe".

Not many ISPS have newsgroups anymore. >I use Giganews for a small monthly fee. I am currently using news.individual.net for most of my newsgroups. They used to be free, but now charge 10 Euros per year for access. At the exchange rate when I made the payment, that came out to slightly over $1 US per month. I spend that much each day on Diet Cokes. The only limitation is that they don't carry any binary newsgroups, so you can't get any of the groups that contain images. I also use my ISP's news server for a handful of groups not carried by news.individual.net. That server goes down intermittently, and the tech support staff is fairly clueless about USENET, so I don't want to use it as my primary USENET source.  SignatureJohn F.

Wow, good news, and what a big boy! I'm glad that they still seem to have easy newsgroup access on WebTV. We've had a lot of people in the past who weren't the most computer literate, but stumbled very readily upon newsgroups, and were wonderful contributors. Maybe your daughter can start off by browsing the newsgroups through Google? http://groups.google.com/group/rec.pets.cats.anecdotes > >Hi~~ Thank you for the wonderful replies!

I'm Hazel's daughter in Vermont and I think I've figured this all out. If I've messed up a bit with the posting, I'm sorry. Thanks for the replys to Hazel to help me find my way here. I am proudly owned by two wonderful furballs, Mr. Bojangles (12 yrs. old) and Jekyll (5 yrs ) and my world is a much better place with them in it. Thanks again. > Well, I think I've finally made it!

I share my life with two cats, Miranda, a Russian Blue who will be 2 years old in November (has it been that long?) and Caliban, a brown tabby moggy who is 17 months old.

You're going to love this group; lots of really nice caring people hang out here. I'll introduce myself by saying I have 3 cats. Chloe & Tyrone, brother and sister tuxedos, were born in our shed 2 years ago. Miss Pua, a female red point Meezer (we THINK), showed up at our door a little over a year ago, starving to death. Tyrone is a little devil and destroys anything and everything in his path while Chloe stares out the window all day in the hopes a lizard will jump on the window sill. Pua pretty much sleeps until she gets her zoomies and then she and Tyrone race around the house, chasing each other. It's always a zoo around here! kili >Well, I think I've finally made it!

Soncek (Sunshine, 7 year old domestic short hair tabby and white) and I live in Slovenia, Europe. Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek Thank you for all the Welcomes! Glad to be here. I've managed to figure a way to get "my boys" here for anyone to see if they would like. URLs below.(I hope as I'm still figuring things out here!) Bo and Jekyll are quite a pair, as different as night and day. Bo I found at a shelter 12 years ago when he was a few weeks old. He is a totally black short hair with one white toe! He is afraid of visitors and hides when they come but a great mouser and use to be unrelenting in giving up his kill. He doesn't want anything to do with the out of doors as cars frighten him a good deal as does everything. He is also quite needy. Jekyll is a tuxedo short hair. He is quite outgoing. I adopted him from our neighbor at six weeks of age and he couldn't care less about mice and such and rather have them as friends, relishes walks on his leash and is happy when company comes especially if they have a dog with them! He is a ham and loves to have his picture taken. As far as Jekyll is concerned, all of life is about HIM! Again, thank you for the nice welcomes. I have been reading back posts and looking at pics. Guess that didn't work so here are the URL's.

Welcome to the group, and thanks for posting pictures of your boys. As I said in my other post, they are both pretty cats. I'm very partial to black cats, and I must say that Bo sounds a lot like my Licorice, personality-wise. Licky is also a scaredy-cat, runs from visitors and has no interest whatsoever in the Big Out. But he is quite a hunter, although there aren't any mice here, so mostly he catches bugs. He's a needy boy but at the same time, he's a little afraid of me, so although he loves being petted, he always keeps a bit of distance while purring his head off. Silly creature! Except when I'm on the computer, that is - then he'll jump onto the desk and snuggle. Joyce (aka "Wermont13" - lol, just kidding) > Hi~~ Thank you for the wonderful replies!
