Finally, after months of itching and misery.  After too many doses of
prednisone to keep the itch at bay.  After at least three visits to my PCP.
And lots of various remedies rubbed into skin that didn't want me to sleep
at night.

How's Vino doing?

I've just had a call from my neighbour 2 doors up to go get my cat. Lily
is a very sociable kitty, and she likes human bitties because they play
with her. It seems they keep having to fish her out of the kiddies
paddling pool! Lily and the kids have apparently been spending the ...

I have all twelve kitty's purrs (and some doggie drools as well) to offer
for all who need them, Baha, Mark, Victor & his family, Jean for Sandy, and
all the others whom I can't recall at the moment.
In other words - you need purrs?  We got plenty here!

I was concerned that Timothy still hadn't eaten anything by lunchtime
today (48 hours without food) and by his continued shaking/shivering
so off we went to see TED. The journey there, 2 mins walking, proved

.....I would have ended it all tonight. I'm at my lowest point for years and
I really don't know why. I've got tears running down my face, it's only

little kitten prancing up the sidewalk towards me, obviously proud of
something.
He is all black, with a small blaze of white on his chest, and very

Thanks to all of you, for well wishes and your posts regarding the
passing of my Oreo cat. Dusty has been here at my side, comforting me
... and when she is away doing something else, Cosmo takes over those
duties. Its funny how they know.

Seems to be going quite well for Vino so far.  This morning he ate some
of an Iams pouch.  I've found that microwaving the food does not help
him at all, he likes it cold.  I guess it's what he's used to, being an
only cat, most of his food comes straight from the fridge.

So far, it looks like the purrs are helping. I still can't say with
what (big grin), but continued purrs are appreciated until I can
mention it.
Hugs and Purrs,

I have one very traumatised and scared 10 week old kitten huddled at
the back of a cat basket in the kitten pen in my bedroom at the
moment. The same old story - he was  found wandering the streets
yesterday. He's another white and black kitten which seems to be the
