Tessie woke us up at 6.30 this morning meowing for attention so loudly
we could hear her from the bedroom... so I went in and turned on the
light and said goodmorning and cuddled her a bit... then we left her
alone for a few hours. And then it was the fateful moment to put her

Anyone know what to do to make a cat stop kneading? I have a 9 month old
kitten who only kneads at night time and then snuggles his head into my
neck area where he is kneading? Any ideas on how to stop him?

This is a birthday e-card my sister sent me. OK, my birthday is in
September, but I'm cleaning out my bookmarks, and I see that I've had
that one saved for 5 months. Anyone can access it, it doesn't require
a password. At least I think it doesn't - it could be that I gave it

Great... just as I'm finalizing my trip plans, I flush the toilet and it
overflows everywhere.  I've got a flood akin to Noah's.  Well, not that bad,
but towels all over the floor.  I have a plunger and I plunged the heck out
of the toilet but I'm afraid to flush it again even with ...

Her name's Tessie - because I'm sure the cats think she's The Evil
Stranger! We left Tessie shut up in the carrier in the spare room
overnight with the door closed and when I woke up this morning I could
hear her meowing clear through the door I went into the craft room and

...Nocturne is in my lap.
I can't even remember the last time Nox was a lap kitty.  Months and
months and months ago.  But last night I had a cold, I was achy and
feeling bad, and Nocturne jumped right up into my lap and purred and

Persia awakened me with her usual gentle tap on my nose, for she surely is a
starving waif :)  I opened my eyes to see her gazing solemnly at me,
purring.  But wait a minute, what's this?  There was a small white dot right
in the middle of her forehead like the bindi (dot) Hindu ...

A Valentine to Polonca and her best friend Soncek.  They have always been
here to cheer us up, to cheer us on.  To say positive words when we need
them, give us a hearty pat on the back when we deserved it.  She has cried
with us, and laughed with us.  Polonca has seen us through ...

A good friend of mine, i believe she posts here as well (owned by maui
the siamese) could use some recovery purrs right now as she's having
some life changing stuff going on.

I know I'm technically talking about dogs but I trust this group.
My two dog's vet paperwork and related things are ALL out of order and
I have no idea where to start fixing things and doing things.
I -tried- earlier and got confusing nonsense. Apparently I needed the

Here are some more cat photos for you - I'll put them all in one post
instead of stringing it out.
Huge yawn - John was having a photo shoot with Silver and he managed
to catch her in mid-yawn...

My lovely Siamese 'baby' Rhia says "Thanks for the Purrs" after she
ended up rather swollen following her spaying. She went back to the vet
yesterday who said the swelling had gone down a lot and who took out
her stiches. She's been told that she still needs to be kept quiet for
