I've been continuing to integrate Dot and Buster.  Megan recently
suggested to me that since Dot has been avoiding Buster, I should take
steps to actively introduce them.  I'd been thinking the same thing,
as it was pretty clear Dot wasn't going to take the first step.

I went for a walk today and in the next village, about 2 miles away, I met a
young black cat that looked like a younger version of Shadow. Unfortunately,
like Shadow, he still had all his kitten making equipment. I've heard that
tom cats can wander three miles or more looking for ...

I need advice. My baby brother, who I've begged purrs for in the past,
is now driving a truck. His girlfriend has been riding with him and on
the 3rd she had a stroke while they were in Houston (she's 36!). My
brother managed to get an ambulance and she's in ICU at St. Luke's.

(spay/neutering, vacs, etc.), vet visits, medicines (Clavamox, Albon, nose
drops), Revolution, and vaccines for all three, we were due a little good

Thank you all for your recovery purrs for Jake.  He has been an ideal
patient the last week or so.

My old monitor was really on the way out yesterday, so last night I
bought a new one, a flat-panel. Today she was cuddling with me on
my desk, and then she got up to go to her usual spot atop the monitor.
She went to jump up, and noticed that something wasn't quite right. So

I got an email from Paulette that she had a heart attack last week,
got a quadruple bypass, and just came home yesterday.
As many of us know, Paulette is sort of like RPCA's official lurker, a
bit unusual and charming in that if she posted as much as she emailed,

OK, first the SH*T parts...
I thought I was at the point where we could put the kittens in with Tayla
full time since they've been in there loose for as long as an hour at a
time.  But yesterday, when they were playing with the stick with feathers,
