Well, living in the country has it's drawbacks. There is a neon sign on my roof "THE CRAZY LADY FEEDS STRAYS" I have two indoor cats, one indoor/outdoor cat, and one neutered stray that is now mine. I already caught two ferals and took them to our low cost spay and neuter clinic ...

After all the sad and/or moving news recently, Pericles my Maine Coon
celebrates his 5th birthday today in a happy and healthy state (touch
timber).
Snowball the Ragdoll kitten is also 8 months old, so new pictures have

Lisa and Liz.. thanks for the cards! I simply must get mine out.. maybe
tomorrow at work, LOL.
Liz sent some kitty fur and Patrick, Bob and Nancy were unimpressed. Moose
tried to eat it and Moogie was seen dragging the card around a little bit

After much resisting of kitten fever (and wanting to wait until we were over
the grief of losing Tigger), my partner and I took the plunge. A brown tabby
kitten with white chest and boots (tentatively named Sneakers) will come live
with us later this week. He's about 4 months old ...

When I wake up early and wander into the kitchen for food, soda, water, ninja
weapons or the such, Harvey is always right there, yelling at me. I don't get
it. He has food and water. What's he yelling at me for?

Dot Gerecke is suffering a flare-up ofher fibromyalgia and as such, is in
alot of pain.
I was trusting that, as part of the "We support Patty, Liz, Dot & Senyah"
crowd, we could some purrs over to her, especially while Dave is away.

Just *finally* got through all the posts. We all talk too much!!!!!
I noticed we have a ton of purr requests so I'd like to start a purr chain,
I'll be the first link.
Purrs and prayers to all furr-butts and hoomins alike that are in need of

Mike is under the gun.  He either has to have a job, have arranged to
enter some sort of school, or be accepted into the Job Corps before the
24th.  He's been playing with it for some time now.  He realized the
other day that both Rob and I are serious this time.  He's been

  I played bridge over the weekend, and did not watch the rugby - far
too early in the morning.
  Very kindly, no-one told me about it, and I watched my video of it 36
hours later.  Phew!

This is my first message.  The first one I read was "Goodbye Dear Tigerness"
by Mark Edwards.  This got me hooked.  Mark writes beautifully.  His message
was sad, but made me feel good at the same time.
I would like to begin with a question.  I have a strictly house cat that

First of all, thanks to all of you who sent condolences, purrs, and
such. They are very much appreciated. Presto was a very good cat, and
his spirit lives on in my heart.
When Presto was about two years old, we had an apartment that faced

My brother and sister-in-law are visiting this weekend.  I live in Texas and
they live in Pennsylvania, so this was my sister-in-law's first opportunity
to See Duffy.  She "oohed" and "awwed" properly over both of my cats, but
they especially wanted to see Duffy climb the cat tree ...

The movie "Ghost Cat" on Animal Planet played again yesterday, and I was
able to tape it this time. If anyone wants to borrow the tape, just drop
me an e-mail. That is, anyone with an NTSC tv rather than PAL.

The sugeon called while I was out, as always on weekend mornings, with the
bicycle club.  My wife took the call.
Apparently Lester is not only doing well, but substantially better than
expected.  He's demanding affection from everyone, and has eaten a little bit
