Anyone remember me around these parts? I haven't posted in ages. And I'm no longer a cat owner. I found new homes for my cats. Long tale. Anyhow thought I would pop by and say hello.

I wasn't too sure where to post this and I really should know by now. Anyway, this is a timely reminder and/or warning for members. Don't leave string, ribbon or things similar of any length accessible to your kittens or cats. It can end up with a lot of worry for you and a rather large vet...

I've just got a suggestion that could possibly be of assistance to members who come to help with kitty conundrums other members face. Although it's nice to read how a problem is solved I'm sure not all members have a lot of time to do so each time they come by. Well I know I don't. Well we...

Yup, yet another update from me. I just can't seem to stay still long enough to post. Let's see, I am loving my work. The first two months had me in tears though as the furbabies were in boarding while we were frantically looking for a place to rent that allowed pets. We found one! Which...

It's another one of those posts from me again, an update of what I've been up to since the last time I came by. Firstly, the biggest news. I have successfully completed my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Murdoch University in November. The release of my results have confirmed it. The...

Yes you read right folks. Okay, firstly a quick update and description and an explanation wouldnt go astray. I have three fully indoor cats, all healthy, housetrained, full of personality and vet checked. Currently they are being boarded. We are living with friends who will not understand...

Hi! Sorry I've been absent for a while. I've been busy with work and study and running after three kitties. Menchi has grown so much in the time that I've been away. He's now got faded markings on his white fur and his eyes are still as blue as ever. He's a snuggle kitty. He loves to curl up...

I'm not entirely sure where to post this. I was tossing up between Behaviour and the Breeders forum. In the end I chose here because it would be more likely to be read by someone with experience with momma cats. Does mumcat do anything to encourage the first feed of her kittens? Or does it seem...

As much as I would like to support TCS by clicking on the ads, some of the ads don't have any animation and invariably don't lead to a web page. These are DentalPlans.com, Justflowers.com and that cheap airline ticket ad. The only ones that do work are The Cat Pages, Kitty Bytes, (but aren't...

Hi everyone! Well instead of sending out e-mails and PM's I thought a public thank you would be more appropriate. I checked the mail today and lo and behold I had a parcel to collect. What the parcel contained was "Kitten for Dummies" by Dusty Rainbolt which was the prize for the TCS Contest...

As some of you know with my job at the airport I have the opportunity to deal with animals including dogs. I'm an animal person...except for insects....they're creepy. Now my problem with dogs is when I'm on a courier run by myself. This week I actually got cornered at the front door of a...

Well everyone, it's another science post from me. This time it's about antibacterial soaps and cleaners. The cleaners that are more effective against bacteria and are better at protecting the family from infections and diseases. Right? Well not exactly. Antibacterial soap won't cut infection...

Well I think it will be a tough one. It's in Australia. The town I live in is Port Hedland. Here goes... There are many stray dogs that roam the streets of South Hedland and Port Hedland, not to mention many cats. Before, you never saw the cats during the day, and only at night, but now you...

Well here goes. As you may know I have a new kitten in the house. We've named him too. His name is Menchi. Anyway, he's a rather quiet little guy. I guess Russell and Esper do the talking for him. All three get along marvellously. And it's a secret just amongst us, but Esper let's Menchi...

Ok, I'm a babbling fruitcake of all things scientific. But this is interesting and finally answered one of my questions about the disaster. Why did the Hindenburg burn with red and yellow flames and not blue ones? For those of you who don't know the tragic story, a quick run down. The...

Well everyone has heard of The Nobel Prize. What about the Id Nobel Prize? They are awarded to real scientific studies done. "The winners have all done things that first make people LAUGH, then make them THINK." Have a look and have a laugh. Science and scientists do have a sense of humour...

In short, Esper has lost her voice. For full details... Yesterday when I got home, Esper greeted me at the door. However, it was not her usual meow. That came out was a raspy meow. Much like how a human would sound if they lost their voice. You know that half voice half scratchy raspy sound...

I had a rather interesting debate with the vet nurse at the surgery the other day. I mentioned that I was getting a 6 week old kitten. She said that it had to be immunised the second they were taken away from the mother cat. I didn't agree with this and questioned her statement because I...

Well now that I have a digital camera, I can show off my little furbubbies to you all. I haven't figured out the remote linking to Imagestation as yet and I know everyone here isn't a member there so I'll provide links to the photos for now. At least I think they work. They are also VERY large...

Hi everyone! Hello new members! Sorry I disappeared for a while. I'm regretting it becuase I even missed the special kitten forum! First off, we moved out of our place for three days as we couldn't put up with our housemate's rudeness and blatant disregard of our feelings. He had his...
