Hi, all. I have a friend who's adopted a stray from the streets of WPB. The stray is a female young siamese with a lame leg, but generally seems to be in good health. Jeff has put off spaying her because he's been quoted $200, and asked me if this was "right" because they haven't got a lot of...

Last night, Simon decided to become rather adventurous. He was leaping, jumping, goofing off...catching my feet, landing on Esse...just being a rambunctious Siamese. He's only 1 1/2 year old, so I fully expect shenanigans. During his romp, he went from my computer chair to...well, he was...

Some of you are already aware that in July, my friend's Dr. put me in charge of her care. At the time, she was suicidal and very, very depressed. She started electro-convulsive therapy ("ect") in August, and basically moved in with me for the duration. Her illness was so severe that her ect...

I was thinking about how sweet my crew is, really so very sweet and wonderful. I thought I'd start a thread which details the sweetest moments with fuzzbutts, those moments where you know beyond any doubt that they love you, know who you are, and are just perfect cat moments. Esse: Her...

Yes, my life has not yet slowed down. As a matter of fact, and as unbelievable as it seems, it has continued to be even more insane and harried. And in the middle of it all, my mother evicted the tenants from her property. They failed to pay rent...and were having extraordinarily...

So there I was, taking photos of this gigantic spider (an orbweaver) that decided to spin it's web right outside my window. This was Sunday morning. For whatever reason, I thought I'd be able to be fine barefoot, and since there weren't too many people on the street, I figured in a teeshirt...

A quick update on my life. We are almost complete with the ECT treatment (electro-convulsive therapy). My friend has not responded as well as we had hoped, but she is doing better than before. We will have a two week break, and then delve back into meds and talk therapy. She will be staying...

I think it's because he's just so dratted smart, but he has a problem. It's not a big one; but it's happened several times, and I was wondering if anyone else's cat did this. He can't stand music. Really. I have a CD I use to relax with called "Orca Suite" and it has the sounds of orcas...

I live in an area that is prone to earthquakes and fire. Where I live is also a tsunami area, as well as a flood innundation area (should one of the dams in the area break). I am not willing to wait for the government to come save me; that's my job. So I was thinking about how I can do that job...

(My cats are fine) PPPPPHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! SCREAMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG AT THE TOPPPPPPP OF MY LUNGS!!!!!!!! STEAM IS EMERGING FROM MY EARS........CAN YOU SEE IT?????????? I am slowly being driven nuts. That is all. Just nuts. Nothing further to communicate right...

Yes, Lamps. You know, those things you turn on when it's dark? Yeah, those things. So Pie has taken to sleeping under them. Really. She'll curl around the base of the lamp in the living room - on the side table - and just lay there...sometimes staring into the light, other times just laying...

After observing the interaction between Penguin and Esse, especially after I've been lovin on Esse and she's rumbling like an 18 wheeler, I got to thinking (which is, of course, dangerous...) Do cats excrete a "happy" or "wow this feels great!" pheremone or scent from their jowl pads (or...

Hi, all. Some of you may have read through the thread about my houseguest who is being treated for major depressive disorder, suicidal tendancies and compulsions. We are at the point of no return. Thankfully, she is communicative about her state of mind, wanting to kill herself and determined...

13 year old, male, neutered. Her cat began to pull out his own hair in clumps last summer, and they treated for fleas and other parasites. He stopped on his own, when the weather cooled down. He's been checked by a vet, and has gotten the all clear. There is no apparent reason (no move, no...

Raccoon 1 a : a small nocturnal carnivore (Procyon lotor) of No. America that is chiefly gray, has a black mask and bushy ringed tail, lives chiefly in trees, and has a varied diet including small animals, fruits, and nuts Esse Kitty 1 a: Large, domestic short hair feline, placid and gentle...

Hi, all. Finally got a decent shot of her. She's filled out, grown her hair back, and is a sweetheart. Enjoy! best- Michele

The last 90 days have threatened my sanity and wellbeing like no other 90 period in recent memory. ~I lost my department position. In fact, I lost my job. My assistant took over the Director's chair, and I was fired. So, I switched offices, but can't seem to get any work going at all. I let...

A cat needs some loving from someone in that area. The cat seems to be peeing on the floor, and despite her owner's best efforts, she won't stop. The owner is not able to afford extensive testing, Feliway, and the like, so is now facing either a rescue or PTS. I've asked her to give me a bit...

I borrowed a friend's camera, and was playing around with it. I got several shots of Simon the Genius cat, but not doing any of his genius stuff. Here he is, posing, pretending to be the tough guy he wishes he was. Enjoy! Best- Noni

I have an offer that I may not be able to refuse - airfare to Australia. No, not one adventure in the Great Date Saga, but a friend who feels as if she owes me - and wants to take me to Australia. We are looking at the first part of September, which is one of my favorite times of year over...
