Give strong consideration to getting a Maine Coon, because they sing.
We don't know absolutely for sure that Billy is a Maine Coon, but I believe
he is. He sings just like my RB Cotton, who was a MC. He sounds almost like
a bird at times.

It took me three phone calls to track down someone to get me to Petco
last night to get Kate and Jack their final (I hope!) care, i.e.,
rabies shots (and some Cestex for Jack's little wormy problem).  They
did perfectly fine, are fine today, and yeah!  They're *done* for a

When I sit or lie down, I usually get two cats vying for real estate
on my body.  Stinky sits or lies and purrs away, but Dante does an
elaborate, four-footed kneading dance, and sometimes travels all the
way down my legs and back in the process.  When I try to touch his

Most of you know Persia has taken to tapping or gently touching my nose or
face when she wants me to wake up.  It's turned into a sort of a game.  As I
slowly wake up after she touches my face, I reach out and touch hers.  Then
I close my eyes again.  She does it again; I do it ...

As anyone with multiple cats surely knows, there is always fussing going
on over space. Rather like little kids in the car bickering that Big
Brother's pinky nail has inched onto Little Sister's side of the back
seat. Likewise in the Singh home (This means that the Singhs are ...

One of the most fun things about having a babycat around (and Dante is
in many ways, still a babycat), is how everything is new to them--
even things that aren't really new-- and their "WOW!" reactions.  I
was sweeping outside, and turned around and saw Dante in the window

Spock and Persephone have had a busy morning.  I filled the birdfeeder
a couple of days ago, using wild bird seed mix.  No-one found it until
a moderately large flock (15 to 20 birds) of red-browed finches
discovered it this morning.  This is what red-browed finches look like

I have found a new Meowmie so I thought I'd say "yoroshiku (nice to
meet you)" to this group.  My new Meowmie speaks some funny language,
not like Japanese at all, but she speaks softly to me and I listen.
Every time I call for food, she looks happy and says something that

Licky was sleeping peacefully on the monitor, when suddenly he slid
right off it and into the crevice between the monitor and the bookshelf
next to it. That crevice is about 6 inches wide, and his body was all
scrunched up, legs pointing in the air, etc. He quickly got himself out

It's good ol' Henry, the flying cat:

I've started using a great little programme that detects cats using the
keyboard of your PC and helps prevent lost work.

I recommend it!

I have just had the most *INSANE* 1/2 hour. I've just been trying to
catch the local thug tom who came in through my cat flap. I found him
in the bread bin of all places, and I don't know who was more shocked
to see the other, me or him. He predictably freaked out and proceeded
