Someone saw this on a news site.  Is anybody here in Oregon?
Some of the cats are handicapped and there are only 14 of them altogether.
If you belong to other cat groups, maybe you know somebody near there who
could take in one or two cats from this place.

Extreme Home Make over is redoing a family home that runs an animal
sanctuary

In Japan, Maru the Cat is one of the most popular stars on the
Internet. No wonder. Watch him trying to dive into a cardboard carton
that's much too small for him!

Whilst walking down to let Francis Drake out this morning, a cat I had never
seen before rushed down the path and exited through a small hole in the
fence, well, not a hole exactly but where a fence post is leaning slightly
to allow access to next door's garden.

Ya'll remember Victoria, the blind cat we adopted.
Sigh.
It didn't take her long.
Last Thursday afternoon & evening, she didn't eat much and had several

Of course the batteries died before I got any good ones. The first pic
is from last summer when he was feeling good. The rest are from a few
minutes ago. He's starting to like being brushed - which is good

TED gave her 2 antibiotic injections, and put her on amoxicillin.

I heard the all to familiar sound of..
hurk...hurk....hurk...hurk....BLEAH!!!
But at the time I had no energy to even lift my head so couldn't see

And to others similiarly concerned.
I listed my mothers car on an online site and apparently have attracted the
attention of someone who, shall I say, I'd rather not deal with.  (And if
he's reading here, hey!  I told you NO!)

"Baby" Beatrice was born around this time in 2005. Seems impossible that
this much time has passed since she was a tiny thing sucking my earlobes.
She has grown to be a gorgeous long-haired creamsickle girl who now

Substitute cat for dog and it's OT.  :)  I still thought it was good enough

I received the sad news the other day that my friend Olive's cat
Hermes got out and hit by a car. She and her family are horrified and
deeply grieved.
He was a young and handsome fellow, no more than two or three years

We finally managed to get Sabrina into the vet for her regular visit
and I was so pleased to hear not only a clean bill of health, but the
doctor's word that The Matron, at over 10 years old, is quite a
healthy old lady in her prime. Her teeth and gums look good, and aside
