Joe Kitty chose my husband as his human.
That's that, no matter how the DH denies it.
Joe greets him at the door, follows him around like a puppy, and jumps into
his lap every time DH dares to sit still.

Scout and Silver take it in turns to escort us to the bathroom. If you
close the door to keep them out they lie on the other side and poke
their paws through underneath... they REALLY want to be in there, so
they can walk in circles around you, rub against your legs, demand

The weather has been terrible here in LA.  No snow except up in the
mountains, buy it has rained off and on for weeks.  All the cats and
DH have needed extra snugs.  Fortunately, I'm just a big teddy bear
and able to supply all the extra attention that everybody needs.  

Persia's litter box is in the hall outside my "second" bathroom, which is
the one closest to the room I'm typing in.  When I use that particular
bathroom she seems to find it necessary to at least attempt to use her
litterbox while I'm on the throne.  It's like syncrhonized pottying ...

I'm looking for the wackiest cat picture available. It's for a new avatar on
one of my message boards :)

Mimi here, just wanting to check in.  I saw your posting dat your Mommy was
too tired to help you, but dat you did want to exchange emails with me.  I
do hope you email me soon, as I'm getting tired of my dumb brothers and that
annoying squawky Ping-thing (though he does have ...

I've been a lurker for a couple of years, learning a great deal from
the great folks here.
I'd thought I'd share you a bittersweet experience I had.  2004 was a
difficult year for cats for me.  Last January I lost my cat, Oliver, to

I have a funny way of describing a lost cat toy. Although "Teddy
Flatmouse" is probably lost beneath the sofa or under a bookshelf, when
my cat "RJ" goes looking and can't find the toy, the excuse RJ uses is
that Teddy Flatmouse was "kidnapped by pirates". And often Teddy will

I am looking for a site that sells those hanging sisal covered scratching
boards but that has fleece on either end. Pearl has worn hers clear out and
I only see them with plastic on the ends now, but I would like to find the
old kind with the fleece on the ends. If anyone has seen ...

He'd been begging for attention all evening so finally I picked him up and
was holding him close to me at shoulder level, then I started scritching his
back. Now I've noticed as a lot of you probably also have that when you
scritch a cat's back they will start trying to groom you - ...

Pam S. replied to a post about shop cats which got me thinking about
something.  As a vet tech, you should be able to answer my question.
Where do vets get blood for pets who need surgery?  She indicated a couple
of vet "shop" cats donate blood as needed.  I don't think I've ever ...

Yesterday we were still getting a few cards, I can't believe it! Many
thanks to you all. Christmas was a bugger for us this year, and our
financial situation was not the best. You all made it a little better. I
just feel badly because we were choked by unexpected medical bills and

I've been thinking about getting one now that I have 2 cats.
However both Kage (4) & Thai-ger (.5) like electronic toys and I'm afraid
that they will think this is one and somehow break it.
I've looked on Ebay and see a lot of broken, parted out and refurbished

When I'm on the computer I pull another chair up to the one I'm using for
Sam to sit on. I feel a paw on my leg and then another one. Sam just climbed
onto my lap and layed down. This is the first time he had done this.
He just climbed up again and is helping me type. I'm a happy ...
