get back.  Purrs to all who will need them while I'm gone.

Well, Bucky ran out again. He stayed out all day. However, when I went to
feed the ferals, he came walking up.
Before I put the food down, I scooped him up. He immediately started
struggling, with a "hey, I'm HUNGRY" kind of energy.

She's eating, thank Our Lady! they've made a slurry out of the A/D can food,
and she has been chowing. She's had a bit of time outside the oxygen hutch
too. Most importantly, no report of the food causing problems with breathing;
this is the second night we have not gotten The Call ...

I don't know what it is.  It isn't like anything is specifically wrong,
or bad, or worse than normal.  But I just seem to want to curl up in bed
and do nothing half the time.  The other half, I am desperately trying
to get a few more things unpacked and put away, and it seems an ...

Just a short update on Sammy and Spotty  and their blood work today.
Everything was well within normal range. Since Sammy has received to
FIV immunization, she wasn't tested for that, but Spotty was and came

I just found out from a friend who works at the company where I used to work
that the woman who fired me after 11 years received the same treatment.
Now don't get me wrong.  I don't like it when anyone loses their job.  But
this woman pillaged and plundered her way through the 4 ...

I've been "away" so long, most of you probably don't even remember me!  I'm alive and well but can't say the same for my RPCA life.  First, the RPCA carrier went totally haywire.  It was impossible, insane.  Got another computer and different carrier.  This one posted some items ...

Last Saturday morning I updated that Odessa was very much improved. Not ten
minutes after I spoke with the tech at Orchard Park, I got a call from the
vet on call that things were not as rosy as first thought.
Our Odessa-Doll is still in hospital, in a little hutch-like thing where

My Muriel has been with me for 16 years (there are some photos on my
website, but she's hard to photograph - looks just like the cat on
the bag of Somerfield Fuller's Earth cat litter, for UK readers -
silver tabby shorthairs are popular with advertising photographers -

A friend of mine has had a couple of abandoned kittens dumped on her
doorstep, and she is attempting to take care of the poor little things.
Both were skin and bones and had swollen bellies and were infested with
fleas.

Having 6 furry owners, we of course have a lot of cat toys spread all
around the house. Of special interest are the feather wands. We've got a
plastic wand with an orange marabou feather on the end that Sammy has
claimed as his own. We also have a couple of boa feathers attached to

I'm leaving for Australia in six days.  My next-door neighbors are very good
about feeding, petting and playing with my cats while I'm gone.
However, Lindy is now on thyroid medication twice a day, and I think it's
too much to ask the neighbors to give her the medication.  ...
