I ran across this while browsing Accuweather.com's weather blog and thought it would fit right in with this thread. Dateline: Mount Washington Observatory – (White Mountains, New Hampshire) All About Marty the Cat ... Cats have had a nearly continuous presence at the Observatory since its founding years in the early 1930s. The first cats were usually strays that were brought up to help keep the mouse population in check and also of course for some companionship, especially since the observers in those days stayed on the summit for much longer than one week at a time. ... |

Vacuum cleaner rescue on BBC They are good guys, these firemen. When we had a house fire a while back the worst damage was done by smoke. We were away and thank goodness our neighbour's daughter came in to feed our old boy and raised the alarm in time. The firemen were great and gave our poor old Woodbridge 2 cylinders of oxygen and certainly saved his life. He had, of course, been asleep on our bed but was eventually found cowering in a downstairs room, completely black instead of ginger and white! A week at the vet's and he was able to live out the rest of his 21 years. |

Richard, this picture must have been on omen. I currently have one of those little grey ones in my kitchen. Been eluding the two kitties for an hour already. Ok, he just moved into the living room. Got front and back door open, hoping it will make it's dash for freedom. That is why kitties need claws. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Never a dull moment around here. I was rooting for the mousie by the way. Last year I found a baby mouse, swimming for it's life in a waterbowl outside. It got to live too and I don't think the kitties were any wiser. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Did you ever take on a 'project kitty'?.... Tip for kitty lovers..... My Tigger II was always a little standoffish....very independent...... A few weeks ago, I started forcing her to sit or lay down with me and let me pet her gently......the change has been amazing.... Not that I ever ignored her, just let her go her own way..... But I have said this here before.....kitties give what they get....she is now laying here at my feet, just sooooooo happy to be with me..... If any of you has a kitty that you wish was a bit more receiving of your attention....try it for a few weeks. You don't wanna get too forceful about it, but make kitty sit and let you give her (or him) some very gentle petting...neck scratching and chin rubbing seem to be favs......and you might be surprised if you don't have a new kitty friend after a few weeks of 'luv treatments'.... Same thing happened with Lori's new kitty Starbucks..... The shelter insisted that he wasn't a lap kitty and was very independent.... After a few weeks in his new home, with proper attention to his kitty needs...he is the most loving kitty you could imagine. No longer hangs out in the basement, wants to be around Lori, I, and the other kitties all the time. He and Oscar have become best buds, and obviously enjoy each other's company....and his human slaves' as well. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

It's Garfield's 30th Birthday today! 30 years of Garfield. Unfortunately....that means the time is going to come, all too soon, that Jim Davis is going to retire. That will be a sad day. Air Cold, the blade stops; from silent stone, Death is preordained Calm Chaos Forums : Everyone Welcome |
