Hey folks,
I can't seem to get any emails through to GaDragonfly and (probably
due to her RL) she hasn't been replying to my ping post either.
I need to get my new address to her so I can get onto the card list.

Well I'm back and still have all the bits (fingers, toes, noses etc)
that I went on my Pyrotechnics course with. :)
Many, many purrs for those who need them - especially KFC who is
getting extra special purrs from Miss Lily Whiskers and HRFL, and

Charleen visited me and Suz again a couple of days ago.  Charleen came
over my house first, where she was investigated by Buster.  Buster had
a puffy tail and slunk away a little when Charleen petted him,
exclaiming that he was so soft.  But in a couple of minutes, Buster

Here in the UK, we have a children's TV programme, "Blue Peter".
Amongst other items, they keep pets - and try to educate children
how to look after them.
Here's their latest recruit - "Cookie":

How do cats do it? What extra-sensory perception do they possess? This
morning I prepared the carry-cage in the basement to take Martha to
the vets. I carried it silently up to the second floor, passed this
office where Martha had been sleeping, and set the cage silently on

Our own Karyn Moltzen has been picked one of the TOP TEN nominees for
Hero Of The Year on Animal Planet!!!!!!!!!!  Most excellent!!!
She is one amazing and dedicated woman and I can only imagine the
awesome things she could do with the prize money, and the publicity if

Hi gang. I haven't posted in a coon's age, I know. Just been busy on the
home front and starting my from-home job again. Hope all posters and
four-on-the-floor babies are doing well. I'll have to sift thru the
zillion unreads later!

I am wondering if anyone here has used one of those pest control units
I've seen advertised?  You plug them in and they work on some
frequency frequented by rodent-types to drive them away.  I need to
know if they would bother my Gracie cat or Sir-Barks-A-Lot...like give

Gracie Caught A Mouse!!!
What a GOOD girl!  She deposited it on my bed for me to find when I
came home from the post office.  That's ok by me, and I gave her lots
and lots of scritches and tummy rubs!!

The November Issue of Cat Fancy has an interesting article about whiskers.
Maybe you folks knew this stuff but I sure didn't!
Apparently (most) domestic cats are farsighted so they use their whiskers to
help them sense prey.  They pick up on minute air vibrations which tells

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 but

(and anyone else that might be interested in WWII history)
Pam, are you watching Ken Burns' WWII documentary airing on PBS
entitled "The War"? You and Rob would enjoy it. Tonight was the second
night on Georgia PBS but it looks like we're getting a second viewing

It is starting to get dark earlier and earlier in the evening.  Jake and
Molly haven't adjusted their internal clocks to the sun, so they are staying
out more and more after dark.
We have a motion activated light on the back porch, but often the cats won't
