and fiercely independent but I've insisted on going.

I'm an ebay shopper and browse some of the "antique"
cat stuff.  I found this and thought someone might
be interested, since there have been several voyages
of the kitty pirates.  These are all set with eye

or tonight depending where you are in the world.

I got to work today and after I'd been there several hours, someone
asked me if I'd been to see the acupuncturist today.  I was amazed and
said how did you know, and they pulled a needle (quite a small one) out
of the back of my head!  I was extremely embarassed having been on the

Her T3s look fine and there is no other indication of thyroid problems, her
BUN and creatinin levels are perfect.
The only abnormality was a low white blood cell count.  This is ominous

Hi, Lori
You were asking for advice about breeding with Digger, I'm sorry, I can't

home at lunch she had thrown up again so I called the vet and took ...

Scouty just came and waved her butt in my face and I am willing to
swear on a stack of bibles that I SAW A WORM POKING OUT!!!!!!!!!! John
says that if she had worms we wouldn't see them and I must have
imagined it but I know what I saw... I immediately carried her over to

I was reading the group just now when I heard awful screaming just outside
in the garden, like a cat fight but more so.  I rushed outside and shouted

Silver's been playing with the box that our water bottles came in all
weekend long... the bottles came out without my having to tear the
plastic so it's like a kind of tent - first she climbed right inside
it, and now she's sat on it and squished the plastic down, and she's

Now Victor and Tom have decided to come to good old blighty.... (You're
stuck with it now Victor! ;o)) Can I please have a role call of who
would be likely to pitch up? Judging by the number of us there is likely

I've collected him and we're home. :o)
I have to say that Virgin Atlantic were EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD in their
handling of Robbie. There was also a pet dog on Robbies flight, who like
Robbie, is scared of men. Virgin staff at Washington Dulles contacted

Waffles missing many fangs, has only one eye and one of her back legs is
held together by means of a metal rod in it. Despite this, she is sprightly,
fit, *knows* she is the superior being, and is queen of all she surveys.
This morning she earned her keep. She told me she wished ...
