She just jumped up onto my shoulder and dangled over my back - not
because she loves me so much she wanted to be close to me, or because
she wanted me to pet her - just because she wanted to chew on the end
of my ponytail! She stuck her claws into my shoulder for balance too.

My cats keep losing their breakaway collars (on which I
write my cell phone #) when playing outside.
Would it be possible to somehow mark their fur
with a die to make it obvious that they are pets? I've

I just ran a bath for myself.  The water in the tub is BROWN!  I called and
left a message with apartment managment.  I noticed yesterday they had guys
out there replacing the split-rail fence which lines the front of the
property right near my apartment.  It appears (I am only ...

Tonight Nathan & I did the usual giving Francis his pill routine; Nathan
holds Francis whilst I put the pill in Francis's mouth. Job done, Francis
went off & took out his anger on the nearest 'nip mousie. Quote from Nathan,
"Gosh Francis, you pop your pill and then raid your ...

YES!!!  I am so glad the courts are starting to see pets as something other
than inexpensive property!

Another game.   I know, I know, everyone will hate me again.
When I started playing, I couldn't make head or tail of it.   I kept
getting eaten by an unpleasant green thing but now I have reached level
II and suddenly I am interested.

She's apparently disappeared into thin air. I don't see how she could
have gotten out of the house, but she's not in it. Or if she is, I can't
find her, and this isn't a large or diffcult place to search. If she did
get out - and how? She hasn't managed it past me, without ...

In the USA, the second Sunday in May is celebrated as Mother's Day. I'm not
sure which other countries have adopted this holiday that honors mothers,
nor do I know if they celebrate it on the same day as we do in the US.
Either way, I'd like to wish all the mothers and Meowmies on ...

CANBERRA (Reuters) - The queue for the toilet is about
to get longer.
Fed up with the mess created by kitty litter and
inspired by the cat "Mr Jinks" in the Hollywood film

Dear everyone
As much as I would like to reply to each and every post I've had supporting
me through this scary time I find myself in and post purrs to all in need
with personal circumstances, kitty illnesses, and health and family worries

Tomorrow is the Mother's Day holiday in the USA.  It will be a
somewhat bittersweet day for me, as Monday will be the 4th anniversary
of my Mother's death.  On the one hand, I have the good memories of
Mom to look back at; on the other hand, I wish I still had her.

I work part time at Home Depot and for a month we have had a cat in the
store. I don't know if anyone has gotten close to her but she now has a
name. It was going to be Victor, after the company tht makes mouse traps but
I pointed out the cat is a girl. She is a tordi, so her ...

I'm thinking of taking a tip to the land of Harri Roadcat (Vegas), so I need
a new digicam. The old one is only 1 megapixel.
I want something fairly cheap, small and decent quality. I have it narrowed
down to the HP R707 or the Kodak CX7530, unless you have any better picks.

I know my situation isn't nearly as dire as many, but ...
I just found out this morning that I've been laid off.
Due to shifting priorities at NASA, my project's budget for this year
was decimated.  I was rolled off of the s/w team because apparently,

Yesterday  Joy, Jean, the Yowlet and I spent a very pleasant evening with
Tish, Dave, her DH, and Penny, Tish's mother at Tish's gorgeous Bushland
home..
Tish made a lovely lamb roast (Tish is a *wonderful* cook), and we swapped
