She had a stone bruise that got abcessed. It should be OK.
She was also checked for pregnancy and found to be carrying a fetus! We
didn't know until today.
Many thanks for the purrs.

I noticed Pippin limping a few days ago, then again Sunday and last
night. Not all the time, and he was putting weight on the leg (left rear).
We headed off to TED today.  She thinks it's arthritis, she could feel
it in the hock joint.  So we're starting him on Cosequin ...

Enjoy!

At last a sensible article about the difference between UK & USA methods of
keeping cats indoor/outdoor and why.

Considering she is now a lady of advancing years, losing the odd fang, this
seems to have no effect on her hunting. The Mighty Huntress has just
dispatched a large adult mole. *Excellent* - she has earned her keep tody -
many is the time I've gone over on my weak ankle on the ...

...Could I please ask for some purrs?
I've been rotten ill with pneumonia.  With daily physiotherapy, I'm
definitely on the mend, but I'm still shockingly weak, and can't even
sit up for long.

I don't know if she's got a whopping hairball waiting to make it's
presence more, ah, public, or if it's something more sinister... I know
she has an appetite. Yesterday she marched right up to Louie and took a
bite out of his peanut butter sandwich. He did not offer it to her, but

Could I ask for purrs for Bob?
Yesterday we had to take Bob Marley (ferrett) to the emergency vet. He
had lots of blood in his urine.  It turned out to be a bladder
infection. The vet gave him amoxicillin for the infection. My little

Simon is the older Siamese I adopted a week ago Friday, and his first
few days were a litle ragged tho he appeared to want to trust me.
Contacts with the other cats were tentative at best;  disappointing
since he was supposed to used to others.  And he would run some when I

I just phoned over and he's waking up from the anesthetic now.  He made it
through okay and there were no extractions, which is good.  I'm not allowed
to pick him up though until 6 PM MST - that's over 4 hours away!!!!
Thanks for thinking of him.

I've taken the food away now as Chester prepares for his dental tomorrow,
Tuesday, AM.  Any spare purrs would be *greatly* appreciated for my angelic
little boy to have no problems with the anesthetic and to recover quickly
from his ordeal.  He's such a gentle soul that I hate to ...

I don't have a new pic, but hoping to get one soon.  Scott McKenzie's fluffy
cat Spider waves hello.  He says Spider wakes him up by patting him on the
face on the neck, too.  He (Scott, not Spider) was in Italy doing a concert
and caught a cold so he was down and out for a bit; ...

We brought Brandy home this morning: brighter-eyed, impatient, and
bombed out of her mind. They told us that she's been eating like a
horse, and I believe them; unless I just have a bad case of wishful
thinking, I swear on my mother's dentures that she looks fatter now than

Guess Sox is feeling better.....

He's been a bit bitey lately, which I thought he'd grown out of as he's
become clawey instead, fully living up to his abreviated name, and now I
know why: he's teething!  Large fangs are taking the places of the baby
needles and his upper canines are currently being forced back ...
