So, I'm at Petco, just picking up a cartful of cat food, when a guy
stops suddenly and says "you look like a cat person!"
That obvious, huh?
And he proceeds to question me about whether a Siamese cat would be a

Well it's taken only six weeks for Sesame to start turning her nose up at
the Science Diet senior! The vet office and also a store called City Farmers
which stock pet supplies seem only to have the senior wet food in one
flavour... I think a bit of variety is what would keep her ...

Champ is not a cat, but a dog. I would be grateful for some prayers for
his safe passage to Rainbow Bridge if that's possible?
His story is such and is long...
My moms best friend Linda spent a great deal of time with her husband

I've written before about my calico cat, Calico.  She was a wild young cat who
appeared in my yard in early 1997, and who would initially disappear over the
wall if she even saw me through the glass doors.  I started feeding her at
that time.  After she had three kittens in my ...

I can't thank you all enough for all your support and purrs; your messages
were the only bright spot in these past few days and I did get to read them
before I went to bed.
My son has Aspergers, Tourettes, and OCD and is gifted, and it has been a

This is a test post. I'm having a problem seeing my posts come up on
talkaboutpets.com.
I'm also missing some of the original posts on some topics, even when the
responses are coming through just fine.

My roommate and I have two big swivel desk chairs.  Well last year hers
broke so she's been using a chair from the kitchen
Well today she has brought in a new chair that used to belong to her
father.  It's brown and seems to be made of tweed.  It's an old office

Just keep saying it. Over and over. Even when she breaks the "T" key
completely off your key board so that now all  you have is a little rubber
nubby. I'm hoping I can just buy another "T" and not have to get a whole new
keyboard. Gagh. Why did it have to be the t. Why not X or Z??

This day marks ten years that I have had custody of Lennie, and his
twelfth birthday.
I have written here (rec.pets.cats.*) quite a bit about him, not
recently, but in the early days. Not too much has changed - he's still

Hi y'all....
Just a quick update on my sis and  her new friend.  Seems the kitty's
name isn't Linksey, but Jinxy.  Anyhow, I called her this morning to
see how the first evening went and she sounded absolutely awful!!

Mischief purring is really sweet and cuddly.  It tells me that she's
very happy.  It also makes me roll my eyes when she's on top of my
computer and is purring away.
Of course it tends to go for really loooooong periods of time.

I start the spring semester on Tuesday.  This semester is going to be
difficult.  We'll be focusing on surgery and pharmacology.  On top of
this I'll be practicing and competing with the college swim and dive
team.  Hope I'll be able to to keep on top of homework and stuff.

I'm sorry to report that the power of purr has failed on this occasion

Pericles had continued to go downhill since his tests on Thursday, not
taking much in (although he managed to force down some cod & salmon as

Looking into your eyes now, I don't see that sparkle of mischievousness that
used to make them glow with the joy of life and the exuberance of youth.
Instead there are spots there."Iris Pigmentation" the vet calls it, normal
for your age, something like liver spots in older ...

I visited the blue kittens today. Took the camera along; there are eight
new pics starting with this:

When I arrived they were sleeping, but gradually they woke up and came
