...with r.p.c.h+b.  Can I hang out with you guys?  I've finally just
had *enough*.

My name is Lyn, I'm 41 (yikes!) and live near Portland, OR.  I have two
feline companions - Mimi (14) and Peewee (13), two canines, two snakes
and one turtle.  Oh, and about 35 goldfish that are turtle food.  I
have worked in shelters/rescue/as a vet tech forever it seems (among
other things), now retired SAHM to a darling humaniod nick-named "Juicy
J" who just turned one.
Look forward to posting more...I see a few familiar faces. :)

Hi Lyn,

I too am a Cat-o-holic....who is emphatically NOT seeking treatment for the
condition.  =o) The more I see of human nature, the more I love cats. =o)
This is a fun newsgroup, pounce on any of the toys scattered on the floor,
or find yourself a sunny ledge on the cat condo.

In other words, welcome. =o)

WTF?

Hrm, out of curiosity, did a search on google groups to see what I could find
.... four posts throughout Usenet, two of which suggest this Pete guy is a
right-wing type of guy.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Pete did not make this comment
because he's curious about your pets.  Way out of line, dude.  If you must
spew this kind of tripe, do so in alt.politics.bush, where it might be
appreciated.

Victor, I'm sorry you have to put up with this sort of crap.  And if you
noticed the probably intent and decided to ignore it, I'm sorry for stirring
sh*t up.  It just infuriates me.

I happen to be a moderate in my political views, not that it is really
any of your business. I do not like Michael Moore because he is a liar,
sue me!

As for the gerbils, I happen to have gerbils, so I don't know what the
heck you are freaking about.

btw, Victor is a big boy, and I am sure he is quite capable of taking
care of himself. If he felt insulted, he could have said something, and
I would have explained myself.

The Ultimate Brownie

8 (1 oz.) squares of unsweetened chocolate
1 cup butter
5 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups flour
2-1/2 cups chopped pecans, toasted

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat; set aside. In a
mixer, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for 10 minutes. Blend in
chocolate and flour until just mixed. Stir in the nuts. Pour into a greased
9 X 13 inch pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. (Don't overbake.) Cool and frost if desired, but
that is not necessary.

Hugs,

CatNipped

Why do all the really nummy-sounding recipes have to involve so much fat?

I understand. That was actually my second impression after reading his
post (I am a fan of South Park after all), but I decided to give him the
benefit of the doubt.

Even if the goldfish don't! =o)  But that would be perpetual cat
entertainment even better than TV.

Lyn, I forgot to mention I am close to 42, and am a single woman living in
California.  My owners are named Panther, Francesca and Nina.  Pan is my
senior citizen as he will be 17 sometime this spring.  (I don't know his
exact birthdate.)  He is a neutered male, all black except for a little
white snip on his chest, and is quite convinced he is my husband.  Francesca
is a brown classic tabby female, about 1 year old whom I adopted from the
Humane Society last May. About a month later, she produced Nina, much to my
surprise.  But Nina is so sweet and so much fun, that I knew very soon it
would be impossible to part with her.  She is a brown tabby like mommy, but
with a white face, bib, tummy and paws.  So, in a shoebox apartment, I live
with three cats, two of them being young and rambunctious. May I live in
interesting times!

G'Day Lyn! I have one old grey grouch, Shmogg, and one rambunctious kitten
with a death wish, Itty Bitty Kitty Fergus (IBKFergus). I also have a sweet
and lovable pooch, Fluffy, and a 9 month old Chaos Mage, otherwise known as
my son Cary, or The Yowlet. Joel is my DH, and we live in our own patch of
paradise, on the East Coast of Australia, about an hour and a half south of
Sydney.

Note that food, books, babies and international cultureal differences are
always on topic here as well as cats and well, whatever else it is we decide
to talk about :-)

Welcome to the group. Put you feet up, grab a kitty or two for your lap, sit
back and relax with RPCA.

Purrs to you & yours,

Hi Lyn,

My name is Lorraine.  I'm older than you, and I have three kitties,
Indie, Lucy, and Ty.  I've only been serving them for about 6 weeks, so
we're still in adjustment stages. I have one daughter, one son-in-law,
one granddaughter, and one on the way who I wish would hurry up! I live
with Brian, and we live in Kansas. We also have a tank full of fish, but
they're platys. They won't stop breeding.

Welcome to the group.

Hello, and welcome.  Know what you mean about rpch+b - I used to lurk there
and post every now and then.  I don't even lurk anymore.

I'm CatNipped, AKA Lori Crews, 53, currently living in Houston, TX, but
originally from New Orleans, LA.

I'm owned by four furry babies, Bandit DLH (brown, black, and gray tabby),
15, Demi DLH (pure white), 6, Jessie DSH (tortoiseshell), 5, and the
infamous Sammy DLH (but seems like pure Maine Coon, black, gray, and brown
tabby) 9 months.

Welcome, Lyn! I know what you mean about r.p.c.h+b. I hung out there for
a month or so a few years back and gave it up - way to nasty in there. I
think you'll find this group to be caring, supportive, and very friendly.

I'm Dan, 47, live in Highland, CA (about 50 miles east of LA, near San
Bernardino). Used to be a programmer, now a truck driver who travels
with a kitten (Harri Roadcat). Besides Harri, have 4 cats at home -

Hey Lyn!  I hang out here occasionally.  This group is very active so I
can't always keep up with the posts.  I still find r.p.c.h+b useful for some
medical/behavioral info, but it does get tiring.
I'm pretty sure you know me, but I'll introduce anyway.  I'm Kelly, 32, live
in northeast MA near the NH border with DH and 6 of our own cats one foster
cat.  Our cats are Bartleby (all black, alpha of the group, but he's momma's
boy), Loki (brown tiger, super friendly), NewCat (grey and white, sleeps on
my head at night, very sweet), Mia (black and white, daddy's girl) Toffee
(tortie, on the shy side), Antonio (orange and white semi-feral) and foster
cat Ana (grey and white, so sweet, has a liver shunt).
I volunteer at a local shelter and used to foster semi-ferals (that's how I
got Antonio) and kittens.  I have to stop for now, not sure when I will be
able to resume.

Thanks everyone for the well-wishes and the nice welcome! :)  I know
what you mean about "not planning" to have our masters - I only
"planned" to have one - Mimi - but the rest just tore my heart out.
Funny thing is, Mimi and Peewee have been together for 13 years and
still merely *tolerate* each other.  Peewee loves to sleep with our
Basenji Mix, Tessa, and I really think he doesn't know he's a cat.
Mimi is *all* cat - and quite the queen.  I will post a link to pix
when I have more time.

LOL...and here, I thought the *cats* were a handful!  Juicy J got his
name in the Newark Airport during a layover - I was walking him around,
trying to entertain him, and this great big lady said in the most
wonderful Southern accent, "OH MY!  LOOK AT THAT JUICY BABY!"  I LOLed
all the way back to Portland. ;)

menagerie yet???

Just don't turn the snakes loose in here, please. :-) [I'm sure I'm

Me, I'm a well known snakeophobe.  And I live in one of the more snakey

Guess I should fill you in on my weird family. I'm 35, married, grew
up on the Oregon coast, now live in Sacramento with my husband Bob,
our cat Felix [neutered male brown tabby, believed to be part Maine
Coon, about 11 years old now], and our ringneck dove Ava [age unknown,
but her apparent size hasn't changed much in the two years we've had
her].

Welcome, Lyn.  I'm not too far from you.  Up I-5 in Kent, WA.  You'll find
this a right friendly group, I think.

Hey Lyn!  I'm Pat and I'm new too, but I just sort of barged in rather
than properly introducing myself!  I'm up here in western MT with ONE
cat for the first time in many years.  My beautiful old Calvin went
over the bridge last year, so now it's just Punkin, a 13 yr. old
mackrel tabby Norweign Forest Cat look-a-like AKA Psycho Kitty.

Been through lots of other pets through the years too, as our son grew
up...turtles, fish, house-rabbit (love rabbits!), dogs, hedgehogs,
ferrits.  Hubby isn't such a pet lover and doesn't understand why I
won't get another cat unless we keep it in (busy street).  Ah, well.
Glad to be here.  Glad your're here too!  PatM

Welcome!  I wouldn't want to read rpch+b on any sort of regular basis;
life's too short.  :-)

I am Krista; I'm 38 and live with my DH in south Georgia USA.  We are
owned by Tallulah and Hubert at home, and Ozzy and Tiger at the office.
Lula is a longhaired black girl and Hubert is her 6 month old tabby
kitten.  Ozzy is a big orange boy and Tiger is a tabby guy, small but
disgracefully fat.

Hi Lyn, welcome to the group.  My name is Nan and I'm a transplanted

70 next month.  My owners are Tiger (better known around here as
Chub), Tigger, Baby, Tabbie, Tibbie, Midnight, Petie the Budgie, and
Boomer the d*g thing.

Nan, where from in the Buckeye state and where in Tennessee?  My family is
from Ohio and west Pennsylvania and I live outside of Memphis, TN.  Small

I was hesitant to join a cat group too, because so many of them are just
people nitpicking each other and I had had it!  It was suggested that I join
this one and people seem really friendly.  Welcome!

Yes we are. Welcome to you and to Lyn. I am Bob and I live in a suburb
just North of Dallas, Texas. I am owned by Psycho and Missy Mouse, Mouse
for short. Psycho is a 13 year old girl who is very timid but
occasionally will go bonkers, hence her name. She's all black except for
a white patch on her chest and her unmentionable area. Mouse is a 6 year
old tabby terror that looks just like an armadillo when she meatloafs. I
wouldn't trade either of them for a million bucks.

Hi and Welcome :) I'm Helen M, I hang out here on and off, depending on
where I am and what I'm doing. I'm owned by 3 felines, my alpha cat who
is a benevolent one-eyed black dictator called His Royal Feline Lordship
Tiger, a little Tabby and white princess called Pandora, who is the love
of Tigers life, and a new addition, Cleo, who is black and white and
just finding her feet in the household.

The only requisite for belonging here is that you have a sense of fun,
are easy going, and love cats :)
