Egads, this cat is falling apart!  Today one of his lower canine teeth just fell
over.  It is hanging out his mouth in a most snaggletooth kinda way.  It doesn't
seem to bother him.  He let me touch it.  I thought I might be able to pull it
out but it didn't come out to easily.  He ...

Persia is being particularly chatty today; I don't know why.  She keeps
looking at me and uttering "Ow! Ow ow!  MROW!"  I follow her around,
thinking maybe she'll give me some clue.  Nope, can't be the food, she has
plenty of that (although she is extra vocal in the kitchen).  Nope, ...

A lot of cats and humans seem to be doing not so well. I'm afraid I have
another one to add to the purr list. Nikki's asthma has been playing up, and
all through the night she was wheezing so hard, while lying on my legs as
usual, that this worried Meowmie got virtually no sleep. ...

That little charmer Max is winning over the ornery Miss Emily.
Emily left her spot (snuggled up by my side) at some point during the night,
and Max claimed it.  When Emily returned, I braced myself for the round of
hissing and Max-bopping that was sure to follow.

Bonnie has tasted forbidden fruit twice this week and she likes it!  
She killed a sparrow chick on Monday and on Tuesday murdered a baby
blackbird.   The shutters have come down and the cat house has come into
its own.   The section is alive with the sound of cheeping chicks and

Things have been rather tough these last few months with me as well as quite
a few others here at RPCA's....I'll be running away for a few days....(not
that I'll be missed)...figured I better do so or I might be the next person
on "the grassy knoll" (if you USA er's get my drift... ...

I am an expert at computer stupidities.   When I read some of these I
cringed with embarrassment all over again.   My knowledge of RAM was a
case in point, lol.

Not anew subject, I'm  sure...sorry to repeat. Not that I see an
answer, but ever since we, now I, have had cat(s), I've tried to
feed/watch birds without making them targets. I don't feed birds now,
and when Bert fetches a mouse/srew/etc I'm used to it. Funny,

I humbly (being only a hoomin) offer this song to those aboard the Good
Ship Mouser.  I hope that it meets with approval.  For those who don't
know the original tune, find someone who does rennaissance faires, SCA,
or likes sea chanties.  Odds on they *will* know this one.

Does your master/mistress have a ritual for welcoming you home?
Here's Natasha's ritual - Whenever I return home, especially after
being gone for several hours, Natasha greets me at the door. She is
rather vocal - rarrr  rarrrr  rarrrr.  After greeting me, she heads

I sometimes wonder about cats.  Some peoples cats hate vacuums but will play
with the broom if you decide to sweep something up.
My pair almost never hear the vacuum as I hate the sound almost as much as
most cats.  Indeed when I was a teenager my mother could drive me out of the

As Mr Peabody reported earlier, he and Max are already best buds.  Emily's
been pretty good about the newcomer, reserving her hisses for when he
attempts to get between her and her food dish, or when he comes up on the
bed - mostly she keeps her distance, and he doesn't push his ...

Had a friend of mine over for wine, cheese, black olive tapinade, and slow
roasted tomatoes - and, unabashedly, used the cats to do party tricks.
My friend is both a cat slave and a dog owner.  She was amazed when the boys
answered to their name and their name only.  She was also ...
