My 6 year old tabby has been getting mats all over his fur. Every year he's
been getting these mats more and more. During the winter it's really bad but
in the summer they get better. This year though they did not get better. I
try combing them, cutting them out but I feel I'm not ...

I was running some "Macros" in Access to import a few hundred Excel
workbooks. Some of the workbooks have been imported before, so a warning
pops up asking if you want to overwrite the existing data. As I was sitting
there typing "Y"es, Cleo decided I was ignoring her. So she was ...

I won't go into the reasons why but I have decided to leave Usenet. I will
most likely return to this group in the future at the times when my
present two cats - Andy (4) and Mary (at least 4) go to the RB. I wish you
all well, and a happy holiday season.

Perhaps some of you remember my stories of Reggie, the Orange
Smurgler.  He lived for many years in a local bakery, which closed
down at the beginning of this year.  Reggie is a wonderful deep orange
cat, with a big ol' head, and round, very sweet eyes, and he was the

New kid on the block here. It's been a few years since I've been on the

I came by today, to see if anyone can help.
I'm working on a new pet website and one of the features I would like to

As some of you know, I've been using Prednisolone for my cat's licky
granuloma, and the latest round hasn't been working, so I'm going to try
Derm Caps vitamins and 4 mg of Chlortrimeton.  Does anyone know if the
over the counter name brand is the same compound as the generic ...

Two big ones and a new kitten
The bigs ones are

No takers on anyone adopting Spotty from the House of Mews yet, but I'm told
he's doing well.  He's socializing with the other kitties and generally
doing just fine.  YAY!

I have probably been reading to many scary news items.  I had a nightmare
Tuesday night.  I was in a dark place and a dark figure approached me and
got around my neck with its hands and then got face to face with me.  I
fought back with all my strength and finally was able to get ...

That's the song I'm singing today:
Nine - whole - pounds...
Abelard weighs Nine Whole Pounds!
For six weeks now he's been holding that weight!

I think you know what this is about....

Actually, if this had happened to my cat, I wouldn't be laughing the

I was at PetSmart yesterday to get cat food and one of the rescue

white tuxedo boy with folded ears (Scottish fold type folded ears).
Apparently he was abandoned when his people moved. I sat there for
