Frankly, the reason I'm going on about this is cuz some people on this
newsgroup ACTUALLY LIKE cats, and don't come here to steal other
folks' lunch money. Also, since most people nowadays look at Usenet
through Google, I enjoy giving the trolls a chance to stand out in the

and will be up for adoption tomorrow.
The woman I spoke to on the phone is named Jessica and if we are
interested in trying to get this cat out of the shelter and into Mary's
home (or anyone else) we should contact her supervisor, "Terry" (Teri?).

I have seen many statements like those quoted below on webpages
about Abyssinians... but none of them actually gives any references
for these "genetic studies".  Does anybody have the details of the
published scientific papers (if any) that described these findings?

At the risk of sounding stupid, can someone tell me how to upload
photos onto groups.  I would like you to see one or two of my Tobes and
Dillon, but dont know how to go about it.
Thanks

timed-feeding using canned food, should I have one cat's food dish in

I've receintly installed a ceiling fan (and am scheduled to install 2
more).  My 3 year old cat--timid but usually friendly and happy--is
completely terrorized by the site of it, even when it's off.  He will
not go anywhere near the room with the new fan and has taken to

So far so good.
We have two diffusers on the first floor. Louis has sprayed (or
squatted and peed) in four locations that we're aware of, three
downstairs, one upstairs.

After doing the semi-anual deck cleaning and sealing, I got the enclosure
back up.  It hasn't been opened up yet this season, so today is the first
day the kittens have seen the big OUT.
Rhett figured out how to work the pet flap in 15 minutes.  I'm so proud;

Cats have their human slaves for such simple tasks as changing light bulbs !

All my cats have reacted differently to the TV. Some ignore it,
others, like Tiger, seem to be fascinated by it. He'll bat at things

I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who responded to my message. It
was really comforting to read all of the kind words. Blackie is still doing
fine, eating and drinking on her own, and doing her "business". With the
help of my mother, and husband we are constantly moving her ...

I have 3 cats and one of the 3 we call him Fred he loves to jump into my
bath tub can someone tell me why?

I would like a flea remedy I can buy at PetsMART/wherever. I do not
want it to require a prescription.
Kitty has tape worms again and I want to make sure the fleas are
killed first.
