Here's Caliban snoozing by the kitchen sink. It's a favourite hang-out
for him. Don't ask me why, you'd think it would be hard and
uncomfortable. It does get quite warm when the dishwasher underneath is
running, though. And he can keep an eye on the fridge. You know, in case

As I mentioned in a previous post, my breother gave me (us?)
a Littermaid for Christmas.  The cats have adapted well,
other than a couple of initial incidents with Melisande. She
had gotten in the habit of parking with all four feet in the

This pit bull rescue, BADRAP, in the Bay Area, has been given custody of
several of the pit bulls from Michael Vick's "establishment" and has
documented their further-- very positive-- adventures.  They have three
slide shows showing the dogs in the process of evaluation, ...

For a kitten that has none at all, Archer sure acts like he's got cojones
the size of grapefruits.  This is a video of 11 pound Archer (aka Little Big
Balls) playing (rough) with 20 pound Sammy (aka The Samazon).  She is the
one doing all the yelling, but don't worry, they do this ...

I collected Fungus Ferret this morning. :o)
He was neutered, microchipped and vaccinated yesterday and came
through surgery very successfully and the RSPCA Instector came over
last night so that I could fill out the adoption paperwork.

A woman in Connecticut set up a homegrown cat rescue, rented a large
barn to keep them in, but then fell behind on rent. (It doesn't say
why, I can only assume it's because she can't really afford it.) Also,
it turns out that the barn is not zoned for animal rescue. She has

Going in 45 minutes to get Star and take him to his new home.  As you
know, Sarah seems like a lovely person and she is also very excited.
While buying cat food today, I admit that I bought a few toys and treats

tiger-striped feline was before she took her husband to the airport. The

We have an end table on one side of the couch. The arm of the couch
rises about six inches above the table top.
Today, Dulce Mae was on the end table and being a silly girl. Or I was
being a silly boy. Or something...

Long distance, no less.  I don't know how he found out about this cat but
it's another one of those "about to be PTS for no good reason" situations.
He learned about her predicament and got in touch with the shelter in
Alabama that had her.

For at least the last 15 years, I have bought canned gooshy food. In that
time, I have probably bought every brand there is that comes in a 400g can,
even experimenting with the pouches for a little while. But in those 15 or
so years, I have learnt the best value for money, what ...

These are the pictures from yesterday.  They're not very good - used my
portable camera - but you can see his velveteen fur pretty well.  Can't

I replied in an old thread to Tweed about her concerns about the spleen
removal and thought I'd stick it in a new thread.  I'm horrified for my
