I was just playing string games with my Russian Blue female, Natasha.
She has the sweetest face of any cat I've ever seen (all right, it's
obvious I'm prejudiced).   I mentioned to DH that someone had written
about a kitten keeping them awake all night and that they eventually

OK, in Sammy's defense she doesn't ever see me take a bath.  I have a huge
shower stall in my bathroom downstairs but no bathtub.  Whenever I take a
shower Sammy waits patiently on the rug under the toilet until I'm finished
acting insanely and come out to dry off and pay attention ...

I don't think this is really serious. He is not throwing up a lot, but has
thrown up about three four times in the last 5 days. Always when his stomach
is almost or completely empty. One time there was a small hairball. Then
once at night (late) and it seemed kind of dark to me, but ...

Several years ago, I moved out of my parents' house and into my first
apartment.  My parents were also moving, and I won the custody battle for my
dog, Puma (RB), a sweet black lab mix.  He'd spent all his life with a large
yard and plenty of visits from everyone in the neighborhood ...

Waffles here. In the local mewspaper, there's an article about a d*g who

In case you don't know what that means, "Gung Hay Fat Choy" means,
"Happy Chinese New Year!"
I don't know if anyone else here is Chinese, but I'm 4th generation
Cantonese.  My family has been here since the early 1900s.

I've mentioned our problems with Jake and the Roof before.  He used to use
the plum tree to get on and off the roof, and started getting stuck up there
after we pruned the tree.
I've come to realize he is doing it on purpose.  He only gets "stuck" on the

I meant to be out on the road a week ago but haven't managed to leave yet.
The catsitters finally arrived on Thursday afternoon and then decided not to
stay. Turns out the woman is allergic to mildew, which lives in some of the
walls here, and found that she could not breathe well ...

Pepper went home today.  He's much better and his tail was wagging.  Of
course he was walking a little funny, but that's to be expected when
you get impaled on a fence between your back legs.
The fence he tried to jump was 3 feet high apparently.  The abdominal

John's cat, Kidder, is a *big* fluffy orange cat along the size of a grown
Maine Coon.  Yesterday he was in the bathroom and Kidder was attempting a
tight-rope walk along the towel bar.  He slipped.  John looked up and all he
could see was two paws and this big orange head sticking ...

My brother knows me WAY too well.
For my birthday, he sent me a laser cat toy that has put Francesca and
Nina into a state of advanced kitty bliss. Nina would chase that little
red spot of light until her paws fell off. =o)It's  really funny to

Well, my mid-life crisis is well and truly upon me ;-)
Nathan is taking me to a Green Day gig - just ordered the tickets :-D
Cheers, helen (call me headbanger) s

I've finally put a few of the symmetrical cat photos together in one album.
I moved a couple of them from an old album so some of you might remember
them.  The album is located at:
