Dear Friends:
 I am very stuck!! I have a 2 year old cat that I have had since she
was a kitten.  I found her behind an automotive garage when she was
three weeks.  I took her to a vet and he allowed me to bottle feed her

I got a visit from the head of the city utilities department today. No one
can account for the excessive readings on my electric and water bills. I'm
wondering where to turn next for help in investigating this matter.

I had to nip up to TED's today to get some food for Robbie. It's a very
quiet specialist cat clinic, and as well as your normal run-of-the-mill
moggies, he also deals with a lot of pedigree cats.
A lady was there with a litter of Siamese babies. She breeds and shows

It always seems that there are few pictures that convey domestic
contentment that are quite like that of a person relaxing in his or her
living room, no worries, rapt in their knitting and the quiet wonder of
weaving something useful and tangible out of the vague tangle that is

Thought I would bring you up to date on the addition of our Tessie to

I've mentioned that my therapist has two cats, one of whom (Yin) is
always with me during therapy.  The other one, Baby, was older,

I was working the adoptathon for my local no kill rescue society today
(and tomorrow and Sunday) when I ran into a couple who were interested
in an older cat who might not otherwise get adopted.  I immediately told
them about Calico who is 9 years old and has the thyroid problem. ...

It was on the 5th of May, 2003 that DD made her journey to the Rainbow

DD had been Nancy's companion for a few years before Nancy and I married.
When Nancy and I moved in together we each brought a kitty - I brought

A young lady knocked on my door in the summer of 1997, she had a very
large cardboard box with her and in the box were 2 very frightened,
jet black, 6 month old kittens. she had found them in her garden when
they were about 3 months old and it took quite a while before they

We were adopted (literally) by Sonny a year and a half ago.  We put the

Iowa City Fines People Who Feed Stray Cats
CLERMONT, Iowa (AP) -- The city isn't going to pussyfoot around when it
comes to stray cats. The City Council has decided that anyone who feeds
the cuddly creatures are aiding a nuisance.

I've told you guys how Sammy comes up to my desk chair and taps me on my arm
when she wants to play with her wand.  I have little holes all along my left
arm because pokes me with her claws to be sure to get my attention.
I was concentrating on a particularly hard bit of code just ...

I've already told you about the enormous success that the scratching post

nice for her old bones to have a bed that would adapt to her shape.
