Do any of your cats become possessed by evil during rain? Five of mine
(thank God cougar is quivering in fear under the couch) seem to have become
evil incarnate. Dilated pupils, looking at everyone as if we are all a
potential meal (frightening even from a kitten), using meowmie ...

Today a 6 month kitten arrived in Holland as a stowaway on a ship coming
from Scotland. He was brought to a shelter somewhere and if nobody claims
him he may stay in Holland.
So if anyone in a port in Scotland is missing a cat/kitten, tell me. I have

Just when I thought Rusty has been doing pretty good in the past year,
something is not right with him. Recently he has been leaving puddles on
the floor. At first I thought the litter box was not to his liking and so I
scooped the box more oftern to at least once every day.

I was dubious about allowing Nox to write her own quiz after Smokey's
model--however, she has a persusive argument about freedom of speech.
So, after a little discussion about the illegality of hate speech, I
let her write one.  However, I /will/ warn you that the following quiz

She wanted to put up a quiz to see how well-known she is on RPCA. She only

(1) I just barfed on the dining room floor, what did I do next?

Rather than try another shot of Depo Medrol for my 9 year old female
longhair (last one was three months ago), our vet replaced Tresaderm with
Gentaved and added 5 mg/day of Prednisolone to try and stop the licking
which is either the cause or the effect of her hind leg sores.

Billy has just done the most amazing series of leaps into the air that I
have ever seen. He's after a housefly and has jumped at it about eight times
so far. Several of his leaps were at least 5' into the air. I've never seen
him do this before. He must be really craving to be ...

A short introduction for new readers: I live with two Devon Rex cats,
Tinùviel, a five yo female, and her son Teti, three yo.
Tonight was a quiet evening for all of us three, until Tinùviel suddenly
started coughing. I don't know why she did that, I guess she just got

Five years ago, my Dusty cat had ONE seizure. After blood work, a night
in the hospital, x-rays, etc. ... she was sent home with the vet
shrugging her shoulders saying "I don't know, I see it in cats
sometimes. They'll have one seizure then be fine for the rest of their

Who Knew??
How many of these did you know about?
A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a
knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm...)

This is the cat food recipe I found so intriguing:
Gotta Have Sole
1/2 pound fillet of sole
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

I think this picture needs one! Admittedly, it's on a site called
"Cute Overload", so you get what you ask for.

Since people think I'm such a bad meowmie and they're so perfect I
won't be posting anything further to this group about Tessie, Scout,
Silver or any other feline I happen to encounter or hear about.
Yowie, Catnipped, Victor, Dave, Britta and everyone else who posts

Pictures from my excellent Italian adventure are up!  It was raining
and cloudy almost all the time I was there, so most of these have sort
of a "moody" look. ;)
