Whew!  Got back this weekend from a 7 day visit with family and I had
one upset kitty returned to me at the cat kennel.  I don't know who did
what to whom but Oliver was very agitated for over 24 hours after we got
him home.  He has boarded plenty of times and always returned ...

Aw, do I feel terrible.  Today is vaccination day and Chester is just
sitting there looking at me.  He won't respond with his usual orgy of
delight when I say hi to him.  He just sits and stares.
He has had bad reactions in the past and last year he dragged around for 4

Eenie is still the same little purrbag he was before, not much changed on
him.  They got their first shots on Friday, and TED asked me if I had heard
a couple of 'pops' in the middle of the night, and wondered what they were -
I said that *I* didn't hear them, that they just ...

the barn cats' good fortune prods me to report that all 6 kittens born

Well, Pam called today. I was out and missed the call, but she left a message,
they are in West Memphis and will be here tomorrow, she will call back when

I'm so thrilled to get the opportunity to meet Pam and I hope Steve T., too.

Imagine a 4 month old white cat with black sploches.  (Or a black cat
with white sploches, whatever suits your fancy)  Now make face white
with a splash of black diagonally across the face.  The nose is very

Guys, those purrs are so powerful. Thank you.

She set it on a more sensitive setting this morning and baited it with

Well, all the kittens have new homes and mama cat came through surgery and
is back in the barn.
The kittens all purred and were friendly and cute and melted hearts.
One of the school counselors took Buddy and a brother they named Sylvester.

Is Vino a Rumpy?
I was looking at his pictures and I noticed that he seems to have a bit
more of a tail than our local Manx. Our local Manx had no tail at all
and seemed to have more of a ruff than Vino. His owners gave it a

I had taken a break from the group for a little while, and I see that
I've missed a lot.  I will never, never catch up, but have been
reading and cheering on Annie's daughter, enjoying Jeanne's Best
Friends adventure, and admiring the beauteous Kenzie and the cuties

I'm not sure what it is, maybe it's the purrs you are sending my way, but
Mama Zoo has decided to eat on her own today!!!!!  AND it's staying down to
boot!  So far looking good.  Did call vet to leave message, although she was

I wanted to say "thank you" to you Norm for starting the earlier
thread on cat ghosts because your and the others' posts actually
helped me and Celeste last night.  Celeste has claimed since our Frodo
went to the RB in 2000 that she could see his ghost and it scared her;

When Cali was younger she liked to play hide and seek.
We have a dresser that has the drawers raised 6" off the floor, with a
scalloped front covering the space. This leaves a perfect space for a

Hmmmmm,  I wonder what I will get if I take.....

I didn't have the heart to chase him out. He now spends several hours a day
