My two foster kittens Mocha and Latte, about 13 weeks old, do the strangest
things.  They are borderline semi-feral, they don't like to be touched and
back away when approached.  I can pet them as long as I come up from behind.
Anyway, here are some of the weird things they do:

I'm sending purrs and prayers in advance for those in need.  Tomorrow, Jim
and I will be flying to the Northwest for our daughter's wedding.
This is the daughter who rescued a litter of barn kittens a couple of months
ago and managed to tame, vet, and find homes for all six kittens ...

I guess this is for people with more money than sense to know NOT to
feed their owners Meow Mix!
Hugs,

We got a call from the nice shelter lady Marilyn, who is foster-mama to
Brandy and several other kitties as well as her own furbabies. Brandy's
spaying is Wednesday. We've elected to take her the Thursday before
Labor Day, mostly to let her recover and to give her extra time with me

OK, most of you have read of my troubles with the Feliway diffusers (they
made Weeble very skittish), and since he has improved after I removed them,
I am offering them up to whoever wants them.  I have the following:
2 diffusers

Does anyone know if Crackles Meowmie made it through Charley OK?

It's always struck me as funny how Frank and Nikki often echo or mirror each
other's position, whether they are sleeping or sitting or walking. When they
do that, I call them my twins, though they're not siblings.
Here are some examples of what I mean:

I just want you all to know how wonderful you are. I needed someone to listen and understand my feelings about Fireball. I knew you were all great, but I was overwhelmed by your response. Thanks again.
Head butts to you and yours, Lisa

I am very sad tonite my mohter finally came and got my two babies.  Sadie
and Tessa.  I"m sorry now that i complained about them being in the bathroom
with me now.  Now its just Ginger and Max and the house seems so quiet now
without Sadies insistant talking and Little Tessa coming ...

Yesterday was the very last day I could get Arthur's distemper booster
without having to start all over again.  Luckily, the same Dr. Beer
and staff were at Petco, and my kind ex-husband was willing to run us
over there to do this, plus pick up food and litter.  And then run me

I post/read on rpch+b mostly and just found out that this ng exists!  I have
been lurking for a while and enjoy the more pleasant exchange of cat stories
and cute things.
I have 6 cats myself and also volunteer and foster for a local shelter.

I just wanted to tell y'all my great news!!!
My SO and I just finished building our dream home, which meant I got
to move out of my apartment and into this huge house.  Well, I had an
outdoor kitty that I looked after, Momma Kitty.  She showed up on my

Thanks for your responses.  Glad you enjoy the stories.  I try to
focus on the kitties, but sometimes they are all asleep so there's
nothing much to say.  :)  (Wait, Su-Ling just twitched......)
We have a lot of similar dogs boarding at the clinic, some arrived

When you buy a cat toy with plastic pouch of catnip attached, *do not* leave
said pouch out where the cats can get at it. (When I came home from work
today, the pouch had been shredded and there was catnip *everywhere*. It
must have been an orgy.)

After about two weeks of solitary sulking in the spare bedroom over the new
kittens, last night Baby Eyes spent most of the evening in my lap, purring
and giving me wet kisses. When I woke up today she was on my pillow,
kneading my hair. Then she crawled into the neck opening of my ...
