Well, after my aged mobile gave up the ghost, I have got myself a new one.
Guess what sound the ringtone is?
Yup - a cat meowing ;-)

I just read this in "The Cat" magazine, it sounds interesting.
Taking the temperature of a pet need no longer be a headache for vets,
thanks to a new implantable biosensor technology. The *Identichip with
bio-Thermo* makes it possible to take a temperature reading in the same way

I was given a 5 1/2 week old kitten for a Mother's Day gift.  I've never had a
cat this young.
Are liquid bowel movements normal or does she have a problem??

She was a stray kitten.  Landed on the doorstep of my brothers work partner,
who was allergic to cats.  So she came to the office, and I claimed her and
she would sit in my chair with me as I worked.
She was named to go with a friends cat, Zooey, although they were both

We had a birthing last night. One of my father's horses finally dropped her
colt sometime between 10pm and 7am this morning.
I haven't seen him yet, it's raining and I didn't want to drag the kidlets
outside long enough to walk to the barn but I bet he's a cutie!!

Well, the visit to TED shed no light on the source of the blood.  All claws
are accounted for, Pippin and Fizz's mouths look fine. Ears look fine too.
Behaviorally, we are going to try Buspar for Pippin and Amitryptiline for
Fizz for 6-8 weeks to see if that helps.  Either way, ...

Thanks so much for the purrs, they seemed to have helped! She did eat a
little this morning, but I took her to the vets anyway. The vet couldn't

didn't act better by tomorrow am, to bring her back. When I ...

OK, I can't resist posting this joke, which I just received today.
It fits in with a recent discussion. Some of you won't like it, and
some, I'm sure, will love it. YMMV!

Will cats get bit and carry/spread/catch lyme disease?
Do the usual shots prevent this?
Boston news criers are warning about lots of ticks this year.

now, i have let her out of her room a few times, and every single time she
practically crawls out of the room as fast as she can and hides in the
smallest space possible, i have to put her back in the room at ...

My adventure this evening is really long, so I'm going to post a short
and long version of it.
Basically, I was following two Rottweilers, thinking they were strays.
I pull up to this house in time to see one of them shaking a gray

Yesterday Issa did something I'd never experienced before. We were
reading the paper in the morning, and I saw him standing by the
fireplace looking at us. His tail was straight up and I noticed it
shaking in a very unusual fashion. I got close, and sure enough, he had

Sticking out of the gel wrist guard of my mouse pad at a jaunty angle was
one lone cat whisker.
Is the mouse pad turning into a cat, or are the cats getting artistic?

If you've seen the movie Mr. Mom, you know the line.  Unfortunately,
Mookie's seen it too, and has taken to using said quote on a fairly
regular basis these days.
Here I am, trying to be a good mother.  Does he appreciate it?  I don't
