Weeble goes back to TED this afternoon to have the lump looked at (again)
and to see if they want to do a biopsy.  The lump has gotten smaller in
diameter, but harder & I think it sticks out farther than before, too.
Also, last night when he (finally) clamed down for a nap on my lap ...

Am I crazy for wanting to get Oliver one of those kitty walk cat
strollers?

I always think he looks so sad when we take Boone out for his evening

Right, just when Lola and I had gotten through the diarrhea debacle, now
there's something else going on that's making me anxious.  Today I noticed that
her left paw had ballooned up to twice the size of her right.  She was limping.
After enduring the most hideous day I think I've ...

Someone (an American) posted this to an email list I'm on. I have
no idea whether it's actually true - maybe someone from the UK can
verify? - but it is certainly amusing! It even has a paragraph
toward the end that makes it on-topic for this ng. :)

At first I put it down to moping about Rascal's death.  Berfert had
stopped eating as much as normal.  The other day I ran my hand over his
back and he felt thin and rough.  He was mildly interested in the his
favorite foods, but didn't eat more than a bite or two at a time.  I

I get up this morning to have a cigarette and let The Moose out. I open the
door and step back in awe of the gale-force winds *whooshing* outside my
door. A quick look at the neighbors' yards shows evidence of deck furniture
morphing into lawn furniture in the night. Everything is ...

Betty seems to have two modes of following me around the house: Eager
and Discreet.
When she's in an Eager following mood, she'll precede me everywhere I
go, trying to anticipate which direction I'll head, and keeping a few

Sesame is an old girl these days, she's heading towards 19, so she doesn't
have a whole lot of stories. But she's one of those cats that I'll always
know as being the most special, just because she is.
I love how she'll come running when I go outside and call her, even if just

The neighbor girl across the street has gotten a kitten. Its a little
orange eared and tailed siamease like cat. It is an outside cat because
the lady of the house is allergic. But it is 4am and the little guy is
sitting outside their door meowing, I remember when my scat was a ...

If you live in the USA, take a couple of minutes to write to your
representative in Congress to ask him or her to support this important
piece of legislation:

Thanks to everyone who sent purrs.  May I offer further proof that they
work?  Today I received an e-mail from someone in the "artist"
department at the opera house, telling me that the box office has
confirmed that I will have tickets waiting for me.  I had sent an e-mail

I think I have heard of this behavior before, but seeing it just
cracks me up.
The vet from whom we adopted Kona and Sabastian (f/k/a Avery)
recommends leaving out Hill's dried food and feeding the cats Hill's

This morning my Mom forwarded this fun little clip. Includes some cute
kitten pix, and some non-cat pics with definite "awww" factor. Of
course she sent it to me since she knew I'd enjoy anything with Little
Bit's name in the title.

I wonder what one should do to a sleeping cat?  I've been facing this
dilemma for as long as I've had Betty.
Sometimes, I feel like I should let her sleep as soundly as possible,
and I tiptoe around her and do everything quietly.

Hey gang!
So happy to report that my little munchkin got a clean bill of health from her
doctor yesterday!  Stool sample came out completely void of anything scary.  He
seems to think it was her diet switch, but after ruminating about it all day
