    So, it took them this long

    My ceiling-high cat tree's upmost level used to be one of Usva's favorite places, where she could conviniently rule over the whole living room. The others always wanted to join her there; sometimes she would let them, sometimes not. After her death in November, Tilli and Milla have refused to go...

    Martial arts, anyone?

    Just curious, if any TCS members are doing martial arts. I started aikido this fall. I had wanted to do it for a long time, but never got around to it before. I like aikido because it's sufficiently soft for a wuss like me. The training evenings are about the only time I can clear my mind and...

    Farewell Usva

    To Usva (1999 - November 22nd 2007) Your life didn't start out all that good. You were abandoned in a forest with your siblings. That changed, when you came to my life. You gave everyone so much love and were loved more than any living thing in return. You single handedly turned many cat...

    Tumor in the tongue

    Hi guys, I haven't been writing for a long time, just lurking regularly. Still here, though. Now I could really use some advice/experiences. Usva's breath began stinking a while ago, I assumed she just needed her teeth cleaned and took her to a vet. Instead of bad teeth an infected lump was...

    Goodbye Timotei

    Timotei was born in May 2004. He was the kindest cat I've ever known. Always playful, perky and sweet, never angry at anybody, a puppylike little gentleman. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, though. He loved everything and everybody. He lost his year long battle against IMHA on the 4th of...

    Weekend plans?

    Just curious. I'm staying at home, being a nerd at my computer and whatching DVDs. Does me good every once in a while, quite a few of recent weekends have been all about wine, song and men. I've got to load my batteries for the next weekend: My sister's promoting a gig with 7 bands (I...

    The best Christmas present ever: I got a job!

    I can't believe it! I was just offered a real job by the paper I do some freelance work for. It's only until August, but the paper is supposedly going to hire more regular staff in the near future, so I think I may even have a chance for a permanent position. I did my internship in the same...

    Hi, I'm back, remember me?

    I used to be quite active on TCS last autumn and winter. So much has been happenig in my life since then that I somehow disconnected myself from this board last spring. I'm back now. I've been going through a divorce (stormy in the beginning but now we're cool). I live together with my sister...

    Timotei was diagnosed with it today, and the vet said over 50% die despite of treatment. He's not even two years old. Does anyone have any experence of IMHA in cats?

    Frozen sea (pics)

    I just wanted to share some pics I took today. Since it was very sunny, we went for a walk on the ice. The Baltic Sea is underneath me in every picture. Right now I'm all sun burned and freckled.

    Basic Rules For Cats Who Run A House

    I don't know if this has been here before, it's hilarous. ---------------------------------------------------------------- DOORS: Do not allow closed doors in any room. To get a door opened, stand on hind legs and hammer it with forepaws. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to use it...

    I'm so relieved: Milla's vet visit went OK

    Milla, who otherwise tends to be the kindest, least aggressive little cat in the world just hates vet visits. Last year she went completely berserk and bit me. The vet is not the problem, she's really nice and calm, and all our other cats love her. Thursdays vet visit had all the makings of a...

Well, for some reason she hasn't been visiting her gallery messages since October. A minute ago she called me, voice shaking: She had recieved a work offer from a US comic book...

    We had a pre-Christmas (what do you call it in English, it's "little Christmas" in Finnish?) family party last night: My mom and her fiance, my brother and his common law wife, my sister and her boyfriend at our place. It was really nice, though my borthers girl friend and my mom got a bit too...

    Shining - A warm hearted family story

    OMG: A hit and run!

    I'm really disturbed about this: I was in our neighbourhood supermarket with hubby. As I was packing the groceries, everyone suddenly went "OMG, she was hit by a car!" I turned around and saw a teenage girl with a bike lying on the road behind the window. And the driver was no where to be...
