North American cat lovers, if you watch PBS and/or listen to NPR and love
and appreciate the programming they provide, now is the time to act on their
behalf.  PBS and NPR are in danger of  severe funding cuts this year and of
having their federal funding eliminated altogether in  ...

That's one heck of a distance to wander!

Yet another visitor to the rescue box courtesy of The Mighty Huntress. It
was pouring with rain this morning, but that didn't stop my three rulers
from going out into the garden. Within minutes, Queen Of All She Surveys was
back in the cat flap with her cry of, "Mowz! Mowz!" ...

I'm sure Lois might have the answer to this question I have. I was
petting Fez this morning and I noticed how coarse his fur is. He's a
short-haired orange tabby. His coat is nice and shinny, but his fur is
a bit rough. His brother Rufous has long hair (also an orange tabby)

Maybe you'll learn not to mess with my friends now.

I'm going to have to shut Boyfriend in the house to stop him helping me in
the evenings.  Far from being a help just lately to guide me home a yard or
two in front with his reflective collar like he used to, he has started to
wind in and out of my legs on the way back and nearly ...

I haven't seen him since Monday night. Starting to get worried, because this
is the first time he's done it in quite some time.
Please help purr him home. He has an appointment with TED tomorrow for
vaccinations and needs to get home before that!

It's sad for her ladyship - the grey moppet. As autumn approaches, the

Vino was sitting alongside me on the couch with his back to me.  I was

turned all the way around to face me and went belly up in the same

Purrs to the whole group...  This hammerhead sucks!!!  But, I suppose
if we ignore it long enough, it'll go away.  I don't think I can use a
newsfilter on Google... So I'll just have to tough it out untill it
stops.

Please do not feed the trolls.  This is how they get their kicks, and
they are trying to break up a friendly news group.  If we ignore them
they will get tired of being ignored and go away.
Purrs and Hugs,

My effort to increase 'legitimate' RPCA posts. (A lot of this has been
posted before, quite along time ago.)
I had Lucky for less than a year or so when I decided to get a kitten.
(I got Blizzard when she was far too young to be weaned, but I didn't

I've been watching the US Open on TV these last couple of weeks.  Some
matches I've really gotten into, going as far as yelling at the TV and
cheering, etc.
Vino is not happy about this development.  He thinks I'm talking to
