The Dr. Phil show will feature a woman with a couple hundred cats and
disgruntled neighbors on his show on Wednesday. Nov. 15.  I don't know if
this show is available internationally, but information is available at
Drphil.com.

I was watching television last night when I kept hearing this odd swishing
sound.  I thought my TV was acting up.  But the sound kept up.  So I muted
the TV and still heard the noise.
I tracked it down.  I have a Sherpa pet carrier for Persia.  They are soft

Two female cats are sitting on a fence.

One says to the other, "What would you like for Christmas? I'd like four
kittens.

After some *Very* careful consideration and a long discussion with the
RSPCA staff at the shelter, I've decided not to adopt Lassie. She is
apparently unreliable with cats and as much as I would love to rescue
her, I am not prepared to take the risk with the resident mogs in the

With all the hullabaloo over squeaky Rosie - I forgot that one year ago
YESTERDAY (Nov 11), we brought the Rubble kids in!
The one year annifurrsary of Bam-Bam, Barney & Betty coming to live with us
passed with out nary a cuddle, skritchin or smurgle of concatulations until

Ishmael is dying of cancer.  He's very thin with a severely swollen
abdomen.  Last night he could still purr and cuddle up to us, but for
the last few days he hasn't eaten and he can't lie down in a normal
position any more, prefers to prop himself up on something angular

I popped out to the bank today (from work) and noticed a PetCo store
along the way. I had been going to Petsmart from home, but it's a PITA

My MIL just bought us a motorized, lifting/reclining chair to help me/us
right now.  Our cats seem to LOVE our current, used furniture - but this is
a brand new $900 piece of furniture.
What's the best way to keep the cats off the chair?  Does Feliway work for

The little sh.t Chaos deigned to eat 3 (three) tiny bits of rib-eye, then
looked at the other 7, sneezed on them, and walked away. I'm sipping my
just-boiled Constant Comment thinking nasty words at her.
Yesterday, I offered her some and she didn't /quite/ bury it...

So you know those little colored marshmellows, the flavored ones?  Well
Scotland and Nicky Jimmy LOVE them.  Scotland will eat the lime and
Nicky eats the lemon (which make his eyes puffy) and the strawberry
pinks ones.

Sorry I've been so absent in posting, just been spending time with
Dennis, plus working, plus dealing with getting our house built.
Anyway, we are all doing well and settling in really well in Australia.
Loving it here and it already feels like home.
