Thanks for all the purrs, gang!  Right now Nanki-Poo is shut in the
guest room!
This morning I sequestered Lindy in my room.  She complained every time
I opened the door, but didn't seem terribly upset.  I spent some time in

Sam went to the vet today. He tested negative for FIV/FeLV and had a rabies
shot. He will get the other shots when he is neutered on Dec 8. Yes, Sam is

Here's the lowdown from snopes.com on the notoriously Neanderthal

It doesn't really ring true anyway--Andy is cranky, but he is

I have a small fireplace in my apartment.  It has a mesh draw-screen.
Persia doesn't mess with the fireplace.  She likes to lay in front of it on
a pillow and watch the flames, but mostly she ignores it.
It rained all day yesterday and this morning is drizzly and misty.  The

If you have access to alt.binaries.pictures.animals, look at the post called
"Saved Kitten". So adorable. I can't believe anyone could throw that kitten
away!!!!!

Well the gas furnace is on the fritz and needs either replacement or a
miracle repair. My cat has been generously using the 2 electric
blankets upstairs.
When I am at the computer, my cat will try to sqeeze beside me or

Picked up Rhett and Scarlett today. The litter kept passing around one of the cat flu's so Scarlett is looking rough, but Rhett was the one in the bathtub with a really bad eye 3 weeks ago. He looks better now. Shamrock and Bonnie are none too amused right now, but they haven't ...

I like to try to help people whenever I can.  This may be something as

I was concerned that people felt they had to go back to my original post

I sent a delightful photo of a cat stalking a...well, you can see for
yourself...to the alt.binaries.pictures.animals newsgroup (as well as

Yowie suggested Feliway as a means to get Lindy to tolerate Nanki-Poo.
Has somebody here used it for that purpose?  How do you use it?  How

Okay, so this is a cat that I noticed on my property 10 years ago.  I
