A cat with an uncanny ability to detect when nursing home patients are about to die has proven itself in around 50 cases by curling up with them in their final hours, according to a new book.... (Telegraph.co.uk)

Sometimes a Fur Coat Just Isn't Enough

Monkai the cat has always loved boxes, especially the tray boxes that cases of bottled water come in. And she had spent a lot of time laying on what must be an uncomfortable, but warm radiator. I put the tray box on this radiator, and that cat now spends most of her time in the warm box.

Speaking of cats, Freddie is just fine after neutering. (See post from January 18, 2009). He came home from the animal hospital the next day as planned. All the cats get along better now.

Less than 12 hours Until the Dreaded Trip

This is Freddie, who will be fasting after midnight and checks into the local animal hospital at 8:00 a.m. Everything brought into the home fascinates this cat, including the new pet carrier that he will be transported in tomorrow. The curious kitty, poor thing has no idea what is in store for him. He will be just fine though.

I'm sure you probably know what's up, but if not, just click the title link for all the details, as long as you don't click "home," when you get there. Because it links to a pet hospital in L.A., but little Freddie won't be traveling that far! The linked site was just one of the best websites I found about neutering the male cat and lots of other interesting things that go on at an animal hospital.
