On the basis of what we have been reading here on the forum we have almost decided to order a Litter Robot. The reviews on the forum by those using them have been almost all positive, with the exception of problems we might expect from any new litter box, such as issues related to getting our...

Just for a little humor, Jim and I thought those of you out there in the younger generation, which is of course most all of you, might find this to be of interest. No -- it is not a joke. Jim and I were married just 4 years after this article was published in Good Housekeeping in 1955. I...

Please forgive if this duplicates a prior posting. I could not find anything on it by using "Search." $2 for each empty inkjet cartridge is donated to PetsMart Charities to support their lifesaving work, according to a little plastic bag I received today along with our bimonthly restocking of...

Here is a snapshot of Samwise as he finished his last cat show. This was not his most favorite thing -- hours of boredom cooped up in a little cage all weekend, interrupted by brief moments of indignity and discomfort when Jim would occasionally carry him up to the judge's bench. He was one...

Howdy, good people. I reintroduced myself earlier today on "New Cats on the Block," and now I would like to reintroduce Samwise. He is as cute as ever. Two charming TCS ladies showed me how to use Photobucket today, so I should be able to crank in a couple of photos here, with a little bit of...

Hi, gentle readers. I am happy to be rejoining the group after too long an absence. A difficult physical problem ruined both my disposition and my health for a bit, and I felt it better to step off the site for awhile. I am now back amongst the living, and I am now a "survivor" as was my...
