Well, I feel bad for trashing UPS now even though I'm still mad about
the lost cat food. Poor Bootsie is sitting in the window. I'm sure she
is watching for the UPS truck. I should tell them that.
So now I'm gonna say something nice about someone. I'm still working on

About curing Kitty's recent toilet habits?  It was all going so well with
the new litterbox.  When I got home from work I went upstairs to the
bathroom where I knew I had left my fleece sweater over the side of the bath
(my house is cold and I needed to put it on) and found it ...

Hoomin Note: It's been over a year now since I first let a very skinny
little spotted momma cat and her four bitties in out of the rain.
Sooo... guess it's about time to sit down and let her tell her story,
as I've done before with Little Bit, Sammy, and Rocky (RB)

Let me tell you a little a story about my last pizza delivery tonight.
I pulled out of the parking lot, turning north towards Fort Sill. I
needed to turn again onto a 4 lane about 100 yards after leaving the
parking lot. Suddenly the left front end did a nose dive. I'm looking

I've been trying to figure out where a sickly sweet odor of rotting
fruit was coming from in the bedroom.  I've lived with it for three
nights because I just couldn't find the source, even though it was
making me queasy.  I've asked DH to help me locate the problem for two

Miranda's half-uncle Kasper had a bump behind one ear. The vet removed
the lump and they are awaiting result from a biopsy. They had to put in
two stitches and Kasper has to wear a collar, though it's a very small
one, just to protect his ear. Pictures of the poor pathetic ...

I took Jake to the vet this afternoon.  Nothing specific seemed wrong with
him, but he seemed to be losing weight and his coat doesn't look good.  He's
just not acting like himself.
Good news is everything the vet can check out by looking and palpitating and

Isn't in very much like the human voice? When you talk, feel your own
throat. It vibrates the same way that a cat's purr vibrates her
throat. What is he trying to say? What words of wisdom does she have
for us that we can't hear with our inept ears? They purr when they're  

I just found out a co-worker's grandson (6 months old) has cancer.  Her
daughter is, of course, distraught.  I'd like to make her a card and bake
some cookies to bring to work Monday.  Does anybody (Jill?) have a good
recipe (something with chocolate)?

I have a stray cat quarantined here tonight. Long story, but the kitty
has some obvious health issues and is quite thin. She has an
appointment with TED tomorrow to evaluate just what is going on with
her. She is a longhaired tuxedo girl and is a very sweet, affectionate

KINGMAN, Ariz. - A man angry at firefighters who refused to rescue a cat

Not what you think,  rude but very funny - do not open if you get
offended easily! No cats were harmed in the making of this video (or at
least providing his claws weren't too long at the time, eek!)

We are trying a new-to-us use for cat litter.   A friend used it on his boat
and said it worked for him.
We are leaving Genesis for the winter and want to keep the moisture from
building up inside.  Our friend suggested filling a pan with a layer of cat

I get I'm a lurker or troller, whatever.  I really enjoy reading this
group, than you for all your contributions, I'm sure my Dino is better
off for it.
