We got back from a one week vacation early last week and I finally got this video put together. It's a change of pace from my usual videos of hikes in New England (orange leaves, greeen grass or snow) since we have warm salt water, palm trees and crabs! The place we stayed at was very dog...

It's that time of year when we fire up the woodstove, it saves on fuel oil and makes the house cozy! This pic was taken before it got cold. Maybe my two furboys are practicing, or maybe they're reserving the best seats in the house?

Too bad I didn't see this with my own eyes. Brady, my ex-feral, is not a very snuggly cat. I pick him up maybe twice a week and he lets me pet him for about 20 seconds before he gets fed up. Still, he likes us and his doggy buddies, staying close but just out of reach, or head butting one of us...

Congratulations on getting your sigpic online! You have a lovely fur-family! You might want to post the technical question about how to get a link to appear in this forum http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=46 as I think it will get seen better.

Brady has figured out that MEOWING loudly for his breakfast won't work and neither does walking around on the bed (he has to pick his way around the dog anyway ). He found a way that I hope he sticks with - he gives me a foot massage! Can you believe it? First I thought my dog was doing...

Since a lot of members here have digital cameras I wanted to get a feel for what people think. I bought a Canon S1 IS camera in Nov 2004 for about $300. I love the camera. We had to do a repair on it once (the flash wasn't popping up) but other than that it's been fine. A week ago the screen...

We had a heat wave in the northeast where I live and the critters didn't like it much. Here is Brady, stretched out and then cleaning himself. The heat and humidity were so bad, I think it triggered a problem with my Canon S1 IS (known issue with leads to the CCD failing) so I sent it in and...

Or should I say "just warmin'" It was a warm humid weekend and my two male furbums seemed to enjoy it. Sophia doesn't care for the heat and finds a nice piece of shade. Zircon was in front of our front door, hoping I'd come out and play a round of "Stupid Ball" with him. For a change, his...

Sometimes Brady begs at the table as if he were an ill-mannered dog. I haven't discouraged it since he is an ex-feral and I'm proud of how well he's adapted to being a pet. Also I'm not ashamed to use udnerhanded tactics to make sure it stays that way! I give him a little bit of cream cheese, a...

I've been so bummed about feeding Brady Whiskas tray food. He seemed to enjoy FF souffle styles up until about a month ago and then wouldn't even eat that. I've been trying to get him to eat more wet food so he can lose weight and was stuck with the Whiskas trays since everything else seemed to...

I knew there was a reason we nicknamed Brady "Pavarotti." Last night (it must have been midnight? 1 AM?) I heard him: "LAAA LAAAA LAAAAAAAH" and thought 'uh-oh, he must have killed something.' Sure enough this morning there were a few mouse parts on the kitchen floor. I wonder if he sings to...

I think it's official. Monsieur Brady, who refuses to eat any halfway decent brand of wet food will gobble down Whiskas tray cat food. I've been up one side and down the other with him, trying out all possible "good" brands only to end up sneaking it into the dog food bowl after Monsieur made it...

It seems like Brady only enjoys the first bite out of a can or tray of wet and after that he has to "think about it" when it comes to eating it. He usually gets a heaping tablespoon of canned along with his dry in the evening. After a new can or tray is opened, it goes into the fridge until the...

I think the PC that I've been using to run Photoshop 6.0.1 is about to die so I have no choice but to upgrade. And the PS software was on it when I got it so if I want Photoshop 6.0 I'll have to buy it. Can anyone who is familiar with image editing software please give me some advice? I'm not...

I wanted to ask if it's ok to post a link to a FB group with a suggestion that TCSers who are on FB take a look and report it. The group in question has posted instructions on how to torture small animals including cats and while they may be protected by free speech, I suspect that they really...

I'm one of those people who clips coupons and hubby says I'm the only one he knows who could squeeze a dime out of a nickel. I think that's a compliment. Anyway I love cheese and I love Brie cheese so when I got a log of PrÃ169sident brie the other day and saw on the package you can get a...

It was a rainy weekend and I was stuck on the computer (re-doing our taxes, dealing with insurance crud etc) so I didn't tire out the doggies with a long hike as I normally do. I spent most of it writing at the computer or on the phone. Since it was cold and damp I cranked up the woodstove to...

Brady has discovered that some mice have moved into the unfinished basement. Mighty hunter that he is, he kills one every so often and leaves most of it where we can admire it upstairs near his play area. The thing is, he eats part of it and both times he's vomited up his regular food. Is there...

Santa Paws came on time this year, but his little elf (me) was slow in getting the gifts where they needed to be. A very nice person sent Zircon and Sophia a gift certificate to Drs Foster and Smith. Well Zircon and Sophia wanted to do something nice for Brady so they shared their gift...

When I took Brady to the vet this week, she mentioned that he could use a teeth cleaning (but didn't do it) and picked off a couple of chunks of tartar that were on his molars. He is an ex-feral who tolerates being cuddled for about 20 seconds and I don't feel comfortable trying to brush his...
