I've got another one somewhere where she was searching for a deuce that just got flushed, I'll have to find it. [thumbsup]

This is my fur ball B.B. - she's a little wench but she's damn cute so I guess I'll have to hold off on the slippers for a while.

You're all making me miss my cat, now.

He was the runt of the litter when we got him. My parents only let me keep him because they thought he was going to die. At 8 weeks he weighed only 6 ounces and when he curled up to sleep he could sit on your palm.

He was quiet and a bit antisocial, loved his sun spots and his catnip. He out-lived every kitten we ever brought home to torment him and he played with every single one of them.

Every once in a while he'd be in a really snuggly mood and he'd hop up on your lap and bury his head in you armpit. He was looking for a fold in your t-shirt to suck on. A 15 pound, long haired, huge, bear-looking tomcat would nuzzle into your ribs and suck on your shirt like a 6 week old kitten.

He'd lived with my parents since I went to college.

Ended up getting diabetes around new year and held on, with insulin shots, until March. When he finally died, my dad, who hates cats, looked at my mom and asked "Great. Now who am I supposed to use for a role model?"

Tucker!   he's super fat... just more to love i guess  [laugh]

actually my camera has some funky preflash flash (maybe red-eye reduction?) which causes the cats to flinch whenever i try to take their pictures.

I need to get a pic of my friend's rescued cat.  She's got an entire litter of Hemingway kittens ~

Desmo, my 7 month old kitten. He's a rescued feral cat, has a weird personality. He will follow you into the bathroom or hop on your lap when you are sitting down, but if you try to touch him any other time he panics and hides under something. He'll jump on your lap while you are eating and try to grab stuff off your plate. He also powerslides around my hardwood floors when he is playing.

(http://nbriders.org/gallery/albums/userpics/10338/IMG_0286.JPG)

black kitties are WaY cool  [thumbsup]

he'll come around, he's a baby

We had a rescued feral cat who would never let us touch her. The baby, on the other hand, could do whatever he wanted. He could yank at her whiskers and she'd just follow him in the direction of the pull. She'd prowl around behind him as he crawled around. As he got older, she got more and more like a dog. Often, she'd just lean up against him as he played with Legos. When his rowdy friends came over, she'd get right in the middle of things no matter how loud they got. If I tried to pick her up, she wouldn't growl or scratch, but she'd invoke extra gravity. Once she moved inside, she never ate anything but dry cat food ever again, no matter what we tempted her with, and never went outside again.

Weird cat, but I miss her.

OSK is her name, throwing up on my bed and tearing up furniture is her game.

i know a couple of deaf white cats...

Here's the first cat, Molly:

I´ve been told this is THE best way to transport your kitteh..

(http://www.uel.ac.uk/subaqua/site/images/jokes/cat-carrier.jpg)

I´m not into animal cruelty.. it´s just amusing to think someone actually planned this out in their head. Scary.

The family photo is priceless.  I want one to put in my wallet. 

We had a cat, Spunk, who would not go in a cat carrier. I don't mean that he put up a fight, I mean that it was impossible to get him into one. He was a large neutered tom, so he was about 2/3 the size of the door to begin with, but he'd get his paws out and become 4X the size of the carrier door. Wouldn't scratch at the person who was trying to get him in the carrier. He'd concentrate all his energy on staying the hell out of the box.

Kitty Valium (probably straight ketamine) in his soft food would knock him out so we could get him to the vet, but he was apparently very sensitive to the effects and his system would slow waaaaaay down. Then the vet showed us a trick.

We'd put the cat carrier on its back, with the door facing up. Then simply wrap the stubborn bastard in a towel with his head covered but his butt exposed, then pick him up and hold him vertically over the carrier door. He'd wiggle downward out of the towel and drop *plunk* straight into the carrier. Took him a few seconds to realize where he was, by which time we'd closed the door. Then all we had to do was listen to him howl all the way to the vet's office. Checkup done? Repeat steps A through J, and listen to him whine all the way home.

Man, do I miss that poor, dumb bastard.

Ok, I had to find some pictures.  Here are my (wife's) cats

OK..this iz great!!  [laugh] [laugh]



This iz not!!   >:(

My wife found this cat at work.Probably about 8 months old now. Apparently it had been hanging around the garden center and wouldn't let anyone near it. One day it came up to her and she called to see if she could bring it home. She thought it was female but no. For whatever reason he took a liking to me and doesn't want anything to do with her unless she's feeding him. So at least he's got a good sense of people. He's the best thing I'm walking away from the marriage with.

Here is he guarding my fresh brewed beer :) Name: Kat. Fierce biter of toes when hungry. Which is 22 hours a day.

Updated photo of the kittens.

(http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc19/silentbob_pics/P6218520.jpg)

We have a stealth kitty named Hellen. no pics available.

Last night.... Annie, our new dog, ran Hellen , up a tree. Hellen is about 14 years old, and has never climed a tree in her life. My attempt at getting her down failed. As soon as I climed up, she climbed higher. Then at one point, she shimmied her way out on a branch, and fell about 14 feet. She then ran and hid in the cat condo.
Michelle went in after her, and discovered blood streaming from Hellens nose.

The blood stopped flowing after a bit.

Hellen spent the night in bed with us, and appears to be doing ok.

Ready for the grill, apparently.

(Sorry; didn't see the question until the thread revived just now)

Yin's not deaf, just so good at ignoring us when we don't have anything of interest that we thought so at first.

and for those familiar with eastern philosophy, their names are wrong -- in the Yin-Yang symbol, Yin is the black, feminine, cool, intuitive side & Yang is the white, masculine, hot, action-oriented side. While the colors are wrong (and they're both female -- two sisters from a four & four litter of white & black), the descriptions fit their personalities remarkably well. Yang, for example, is the one laying on the Enter & Shift keys right now insisting that I've got better things to do than screwing around on the DMF. She's right, but she's not going to like the alternative, either...

Yes.  That is their fate unless you adopt them.

Here is Cookie.  He's almost 3 years old, also loves power sliding on hardwood floors, sleeping all day, and occasionally sneaking outside to beat the ^%^& out of the neighborhood cats.  His left eye tears like crazy, so all over our windows and floors are droplet stains (he had an eye infection as a kitten).

Sorry to hear about C.B.

sorry to hear about your cat..

I have a stray that showed up about two months ago, she was the size of a baseball, nothing but hair and ribs. she had a sibling with her when she first showed up, but I never saw it again, it was really skiddish, she was pretty friendly.

(http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r141/acalles1/0908081725.jpg)

Jupiter.. (named so because of her color and the big spot she's got on the side.)

First cat I've ever had. I was gonna give her away, but all my customers love her so she stays...

Thanks everybody; I really didn't expect this to be as hard as it has been.  They've always been The Wife's Cats, and this was the antisocial one.  We essentially had both cat cliches covered:  "Scaredy" and "Curiosity Killed the."  Turns out curiosity is healthier than previously believed. 

BTW, that's a cute little mange-ball you've got there, acalles.  Give her a scratch behind the ear for me  [thumbsup]

Damn Tristan!  I'm sorry that CB passed!  I remember you were saying that he had gotten sick again last Saturday, but I didn't think it would come to this so quickly.  I'm really sorry brother.

This little guy/gal showed up at our shop a couple days ago...

Looks like a "Cali" to me. 

Annoying customer.

I always wanted to name a cat "Kooch"

Our kittehs:

The dilute calico/siamese (pinned) is Moxie, who we got from the local shelter. The orange monster is Lucy (short for Lucifer), who we got as a tiny kitten from a local farm.

she's getting bigger, and dirtier  [laugh] (can not get her to stay clean!)

I'm considering taking her home, since she's getting into trouble, and wanting to play in the busy street here  :o

^ Depressed Emo Kitteh

"Honey, this is not what it looks like, I swear!"

 [laugh]

Well I've got two to add the the pile.

Here is my first cat Lucifer.  His mother was a stray and walked into a buddies place had her kittens in a dresser. He was born on 6-6-06 so watch out. Yes, a black cat born on 666  ;D
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/Rufus120/lucifer.jpg)

Here is Kitty.  I rescued him as a kitten when someone abandoned in the apartment next to mine.  Originally we where only going to keep him a few days so we just called him Kitty.  Well a few days turned into a month and well he's not going anywhere now and neither is his name. He's a bit of on oddball cat so I have a few more pics of him. 
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/Rufus120/kitty1.jpg)

He sleeps like this almost all the time.
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/Rufus120/kitty.jpg)

He's on his way to get his balls chopped off, not pumped at all.
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/Rufus120/poorkitty.jpg)

I'm really into big cats and I was lucky enough to get a personal tour of a private zoo that rescues all sorts of animals from people that aren't prepared to care for them properly.  They had like 200 different animals, but these are the big cats.

Mountain lions are the largest cats that purr.  If a house cat is like a car purring this thing sounds like a jumbo jet.
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/Rufus120/cougar.jpg)

This is me with timber the bob cat.  He was super friendly and even thou he weighed 45 pounds you wouldn't know it when he is climbing on you.
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/Rufus120/bobcat.jpg)

And finally one of the coolest things I have ever got to do in my life.  I got to interact with two female tigers.  They don't purr and they make the weirdest noise.  We couldn't go in the enclosure for safety reasons, but we where able to pet them through the cage.  Such a magnificent creatures.  It's sad to think people try to keep them as pets.

Baby food



























Made from real babies ;D

No comment..but..






judging by the position that thing is in..    :-X

Actually,pellets and hay. He's about to hit the one year mark, so he's not quite up to his full weight yet.
He's a purebred flemish giant, and his name is Harvey.

Looks tasty.

Yes, I know a little about this breed.  An -ex used to have one.  Her's was only a few months old though the last I saw it.  

Lon (after Lon Chaney), who runs this house and will damn well let you know it:

Sorry for your loss Bun-bun. 

Diesel looks like one hell of a cat. Sorry for your loss!

Sorry about Diesel. 

*cues taps on computer*

Sorry to hear, it's hard to make that decision.  He should look up Cougar when he gets where he's going ~

JM

Sorry to hear about Diesel.  RIP

RIP Diesel :(

Wow.  Always a difficult decision to come to, even when it is for the best.  Sorry for your loss.

This is Buddy. She is a feral cat that lives outside of my bldg. I have been taking care of her for the past 5 yrs.

(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa91/chiflado/buddy001.jpg)

 :'( me too

Thank you all for your condolences, I appreciate it.

Diesel's problem was recurring anemia. It started two years ago. She got a transfusion, and several months of medication. Last year, it recurred, she got another transfusion, and several months of medications. When it happened again this year, I just couldn't justify the cost($8-1200/time), and it was worse than ever before, so I had her put down.

She was 12 years old, and we'd had her since before birth. Her mother, Precious, is still alive, though at 17, probably not for too much longer. Precious is having seizures (about one a month), and is on phenobarbitol. Diesels grandmother, Grand champion Lady Shadow of Silverwood (also known as Puppy) died three years ago, at the age of 18.

I'm starting to look for a kitten to liven the place up again, but it'll probably be a while. I'm thinking shorthair this time, maybe a Siamese, or an Ocicat.

Office manager at a place I worked at bought a house.  The previous owners had been feeding a feral cat and wrote it into the sales agreement that the new owners would continue feeding the cat.   I don't know if the new owners were already catpeople, but they took the agreement very seriously and eventually convinced the cat to move inside the house.   He turned out to be a great pet (named him Chuck) and they lived happily ever after for many years.

Awesome.  [thumbsup]  She won't come inside no matter what. Rain, tornado sirens, freezing cold. She knows the sound of my old Toyota truck and meets me at the curb when I pull up.  ;D

those are some really neat looking kitty cats [clap]

Here's our kitty, Isabelle (aka Izzy).  Siamese / Medium hair mix.

Wish I had her here. She could get the bunneh and rodent populations back in check.

Frank looks much less inclined to get his ass handed to him these days.

Of course, good camera work can do wonders for appearances.

Bob is like 6 time bigger that him, and you can tell when Bob decides he's had enough and just sits on him   [laugh]

*muffled..."mewewdwbwebbweb"

I had a cat named Eggo who, topping out at 18 lbs, was a giant fatass of a neutered tom.

He raised/played with/tolerated 6 cats.

He always played well with them. But there came a point...

When they realized that he had paws that were, no shit, the size of half-dollars.

I miss that poor, crotchety, runt-of-the-litter bastard.

every so often one of us has to pick Bob up


" holy shit you fat tub of goo" is the most commonly used phrase   [laugh]

very cool pic...   are those the real colors or is there some photoshop hackery going on? 

I white washed it, but left his eyes and nose alone.

my dumb cat always ends up with a little turd on his nose.

We had some help remodeling the bathroom:

Pablo was securing the plastic drop cloth:

Spooky was checking the structural integrity of the floor:  *note...  Those are 18" tiles
(http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn168/the_journeyman/Animals/DSCF0991-1200.jpg)

Spooky is NOT a small cat.  He was ensuring the ladder was safe:

Polydactyl, but not a hemingway. Notice the ears: part Bobcat.
Nine weeks old, and absolutely fearless. Already chasing the other cats around the house!

Had to put up this picture from this morning of our girl Yang, who gave us a real scare a couple of weeks back, losing about a third of her already meager body weight, vomiting, getting seriously dehydrated and enduring trips to the vet for a couple hundred dollars worth of "I'm not sure." Most likely, she'd gotten into something that triggered her severe food allergies to chicken or corn, but I was quite worried that it looked a whole lot like renal failure. Fortunately, she responded well to lots of tuna & designer canned cat food, to which her sister Yin had no objections either. While she's hardly chubby, Yang's got some bulk on her bones again, and seems happy to go back to bossing around the dogs.

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2448/3953645152_f10f971988.jpg)

I know that look.

"Why are you in here on the computer when my food bowl is empty?"

Glad to hear she's feeling better.

Bob, Liwa, Yang, (Yin, not pictured), Spooky, Pablo and the rest of 'em – they're all so cool!  Glad to hear that Yang is feeling better!
Nice kittehs.   [thumbsup]

all cute kitties and a very cool photo  [thumbsup]

Rest in peace little girl.

R.I.P Gabby

We had to put her down today. She was 13. She was a Stray Rescue cat.

She was purring all the way up to the end  :'(

You will be dearly missed =(

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2602/3964578781_05c1823497.jpg)

Oh man Rob, I'm sorry! 

 :( not again...

sorry for your loss rob
she was a beautiful cat

i had a cat named gabby in college

Sad week in the cat thread, my condolences Rob.

Sorry to hear for everyone's loss, it's never easy time to lose a furry friend.  :'(

[hugs]

Rob, sorry for your loss.

Your Gabby and my Stella are playing together now. 

RIP kitties.

 :'(

RIP Gabby.

So sorry Rob -- Gabby looks like a fantastic girl. Rest in Peace.

I sure hope so. Thank you all for the Kind words

Sorry Rob, RIP Gabby. :'(

Gabby.  Beautiful.  So sorry to hear this Rob!     :'(      Again, another lucky cat to have an owner like you. 

This is turning out to be the dearly departed cat thread. :-\

We've all lost furry family. It definitely hurts. My condolences to Diva and Rob.

On the flip side,
We've had our kitten, Liwa, for two weeks now. I had forgotten that having a kitten is a full time job! Liwa has two speeds, off, and "Oooooh, shiny, ATTACK!". She eats MORE than our two full grown cats combined, and has more energy than both of them, and the two of us all put together. She has absolutely no fear, and no conception of the word "no".
Her favorite food is yours.
She will climb anything, put her nose anywhere, and I even watched her chase one of the full grown cats around the house at full speed the other day. They made three full high speed circuits of the house before the other cat stopped, turned, and WHACK! sent Liwa ass over teakettle. The only trash can she hasn't explored yet is the one in our kitchen, which has a flip top lid on it. At the rate she is growing, I fully expect to hear that trash can start meowing sometime next week, probably Tuesday.
 She firmly believes in the value of communication, and will climb up you and tell you all about her day, how she reformatted the computer (again), the fact that it is time to clean the litterbox, and what she wants for dinner, at full volume, repeatedly. She wil then proceed down to your feet and untie your shoes.
 Just when you begin to consider Kittycide, she will climb up onto your shoulder, rub against your face, and begin to serenade you with a purr so loud and vigorous, you begin to wonder how such a small animal ever managed to swallow a Harley Davidson motorcycle. She will then fall asleep on your shoulder, and melt your heart with repeated applications of kitten breath against your cheek.

Since we had a close call with one of ours a couple of weeks back, I've been trying to pay especially close attention to that flip side, which you described beautifully. I was kind of reluctant to share this picture because, well, this is a motorcycle list and there's just a bit more "Awwwww" to it than the usual DMF content. But here's my version of the flip side, and why it's worth dealing with the painful fact that I plan to outlive these beautiful little girls. Yin (the white one) and Yang (the black one) laying claim to yours truly.

Is that yours? 

Holy cow we have one that looks just like him/her!

:D

and i have the same bandana  ;D

prettykitty dd :)

She rotates between that one, in the dinning room, the one in the living room, and my desk in the office, which is directly above another register.


Yup, I have had her since she was a kitten.  Both of her parents are feral cats.  She won't let me near her for the first month or so.

That was 9 years ago.  At her last check-up the vet said she is now a senior kitty. 

Frank reminds me of our non-riding Lola.

The other cat (Precious) is a 17 year old persian who weighs 8 lbs.

What a goofball!  Very, very cute.

Had to take this picture of our cat Yang just now; I often wonder if there is any pleasure quite so exquisite as to be a black cat with a sun-filled chair all to herself.

Kitteh make great lap warmer.  :)

One of ours loves to perch on the clothes dryer when it's fired up.

i built a cat tree today, cost about $30, not counting the scrap wood and bug scratching post i recycled into the base.  stands about 6' tall

we'll have a new addition to our family later today

pics to follow.....

Nice rack!  On the bike you pervs!  Is that a custom rig?

JM

Nah it's a Happy Trails rack.  My BMW is my fun in the dirt/touring bike, so it gets the cool rack and all the luggage.  :)  The duc will just get to be pretty...when it arrives :)

the anticipation of your new addition is killing me  :)

This is Sissy (I'm going to refer to her as La La... as in sissylala  [cheeky] )

Her Ma Ma (a sister of Michelles friend) passed away a few days ago, so we offered to take her in.

(http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/bobspapa/024-5.jpg?t=1278897357)

She weights about 2 pounds more than Bob. Bob has lost his tub-o-goo status in the house.

aaaaaaaw :)

she looks like a chubby version of our maggie who passed away in 06

whatacutie! good luck with her

As I mentioned in TOSAT last night, I had to leave to go take care of Mr. and Mrs. Wedding Pant's feline and flora.  

Well that feline Lola is AMAZING!  

After about 30 minutes of lap time and brushing her....she jumped off my lap - not uncommon for a cat, right?  
Well then, get this, she ran to the dining room and nudged a chair, yes, NUDGED A CHAIR, – into the kitchen!

Now my cat will nudge me (the "feed me now before I claw your eyes out" nudge) but this cat was nudging a CHAIR.
Well, she nudged that chair right up to THE FRIDGE!  With her tiny white paw that she placed on the rubber seal of the door,
she pulled and pried and POP went the door wide open.

She hopped onto the shelf (she's tiny) and then proceeded to nudge a green bottle until it tipped onto its side – still
on the shelf, mind you.
  
Like a baby circus seal rolling a ball, she rolled that green bottle onto the chair and then oh-so-carefully, grasped the
top of the bottle with her cute little kitten mouth and jumped onto the floor.

Super Lola kitty then placed the green glass bottle onto the floor and ROLLED IT TO MY FEET!  

At that point, I picked it up and realized it was a tasty adult beverage!  After that amazing and dexterous feat, I could
not offend the wee one and popped the top and consumed the Dos Equis.

Good kitty.    [drink]     [thumbsup]

Anyone watch Cats 101?  http://animal.discovery.com/videos/cats-101-top-cat-breeds/ (http://animal.discovery.com/videos/cats-101-top-cat-breeds/)


A lot of good info on the different breeds.  I'm not a cat person..mostly because I'm allergic..but I wouldn't mind a Scottish Fold, Burmese or a Persian.  The Selkirk Rex and Manx are pretty cool too!

You should have seen it when she painted the green room with an airless sprayer and all the scaffolding she put up too.

Thx Stella.  :-*

Cats.... never trust them around your vehicle

I can't believe what I just did?!  :o

I went in the pet store to get dog treats and came out with a cat?!  ???

I guess a local animal shelter closed it's doors.  There were a ton of cats in Petco.  Natasha's ice blue eyes lured me in and I was hooked!  She is an 8 yr old Himalyan.  She's declawed and is trained.  She has a smashed pug-like and her hair goes beyond the end of her feet.  

I was never a cat guy since I was always allergic.  I guess I grew out of it though.  The last allergy test was negative.

Natasha:  Lucky!  And a beautiful girl!   Congrats IZ's!!!

Doesn't the Mrs. IZ have "ice blue eyes" as well?

Just sayin'.

sorry for the unpleasant pics..

Cograts IZ!

She's beautiful.   [thumbsup]

B hooked me with his ice blue eyes....

cute pics.

Cats do what cats do.

One of mine spends most of his time outside.  He comes back long enough to eat and get let back out again [laugh]

Basically the entire neighborhood is his and he's been fighting this orange cat lately (and winning)

A few days ago i notice this crusty thing on his head when i pet him (we were outside and it was dark)

**** Graphic content below, no pics though***










































He has a huge abscess on his head just under his ear.  Obviously a cat bite from a fight.

There's volcano like hole there and under that, honest to god, is thus lump that's the size of the tip of my little finger.

It had broken open finally and was starting to drain.

Of course the vet wants him in to give him antibiotics but he was just there, i don't want to spend more money because it doesn't seem to bother him.

We'll work on it ourselves and hit up the vet if it doesn't improve.

So after a quick google search it seems like it's now our job to get all the junk out and use lots of hydrogen-peroxide.

I was amazed at how patient this cat was while my wife held him and i worked on this thing.

The smell was terrible and what came out of this thing when I squeezed looked even worse.

He was a trooper though, and twice a day for four days now he let me scrub this thing out and squeeze it.

The lump is gone and it's much better.

Just a little tutorial for you all if you ever have a cat show up with one of these.

It's like a hypodermic injection of yucky cat mouth bacteria.

Apparently they normally will change their eating and drinking habits and become lethargic.  Our cat didn't experience any of that though.

He's a tough MF'er :)

Pretty kitty IZ!

I had a bike from a stray get infected on my finger.  I had to cut it open to fix it

JM

Infected bikes are the worst

;)

Thanks DD and JM!  

Speaking of blue eyes..it's a perfect match!   [cheeky]

Check out the markings on Natasha.  Dark brown line goes diagonally from front legs up to her bushy tail.  She also has brown rear legs.  The long hair on her paws looks like she has socks on that are falling off.  :)

Hold on IZ!


Are you talking about the Missus?
or the Cat?






 ;D

Obviously, the puss!!   [cheeky]


Wow..I couldn't imagine adopting a Himalayan kitten. Very cute!!   :)

Oh So Cute Kitten Meow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HxQ2BU0vJw&feature=related#normal)

Unreasonably IZ_ and adorable. :)

thanks to that videos music.... I'll be see'n John Wayne Gacy clowns in my sleep for weeks

she's a beautiful cat iz :)

i adopted a declawed himalayan when i was in college.
a cats claws are their first defense,
their teeth are there second.
gabrielle got scared one night and bit my roommate, the wound was not pretty

also, long haired cats have problems with hairballs
gabby ended up dying from one

Well, I hope that's not foreshadowing!!   :-[

Thanks though. 

Invest in a Furminator.  I brush my cats with it once a week, about 10 minutes.  Makes a serious dent in the amount of fur. 

^^Looking for one this week.

D*mn, if this cat had claws..my furniture would be shredded!!

It's fun watching her explore though and work out problems in her mind prior to causing mischief!!

"Little sh*t" soon replaced her given name!!

It seems like she's reduced my stress level a bit though.  She likes being held and brushed which is relaxing for both of us.   :)     

Oh, The cat. I hear ya.  ;)

Yeah, once they learn how to use tools, it's tough to get them to stop disassembling stuff.  ;D

Thanks for the pictures, One & IZ! Those are some cool critters.

MonsterLover -- our white cat had exactly the same injury a couple of weeks ago, which went unnoticed until it ruptured one morning while we were having breakfast.  [puke] The abcess didn't bother her nearly as much as us trying to get antibiotics onto & into her.

I always wondered if that worked.  Will definitely have to get one - 2 of the roommates have allergies.

They do work very well, but "invest" is not a bad word for buying one of them; you'd think they were made out of carbon fiber with a "Corsa" sticker or something!

His eyes are set on 'kill'.  :)

He's got one of those Geordi La Forge visors.

He also hosts a kids television show promoting literacy.

He's reached critical mass..

When my cats get to that stage, it can be room-clearing.

We just found out that our community cat Eddie was put down earlier this week.

 :'(

:(

Post a cat pic. Maybe you'll feel a little better.

This is Eddie when he came over an afternoon visit a few weeks ago. :'(

Holy crap!! Your cat is as big as your dog!!

He was stretched out on the floor one day with his front and back legs stretched alllll the way out. I got out the tape measure.

40"

Is he a Maine Coon? They get HUGE!

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B_UYivug_UY/S95L1fiqEhI/AAAAAAAAAWc/a0w0XjyBoGk/s1600/maine+coon2.jpg)

 :o

Kinda freaky isn't it!!

We are not completely sure what he is.  Our other one we are certain is norwegian forest cat and possibly some maine coon as well.

 This one I suspect is probably the same.

 They both came to us as strays.

Uh huh!  We want one honey.  They are "gentle giants".  We also want a Ragdoll.  They are floppy and sweet.  P.S.  My birthday is coming.

I know sweetie - but we already have 2!!  :-*

(and your birthday is still months away!!)

Here's my version of the Maine Coon pic

Longcat is long

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/900rider/Misc/2011-03-10_19-42-20_449.jpg)

 :o

Certainly is.

Does he like to be up high? Hang out on top of the fridge? Perched on top of open doors?

Looks like Zuul from Ghostbusters!!

He can act like it too [laugh]

That is about the size of my 30lb+ black cat.  They have features of a Maine Coon.  Yes, he really does stretch that far ~

JM

Got me sumpin to take care of that stupid dog...

Cat looks all business.

He is.  The dog is no match for him and nobody messes with his 'nip!

JM

Took this one after work yesterday with my phone.  :)

I wish all the ladies were so eager to get in my pants!  [laugh]

(http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo118/Speedbag/catinpants.jpg)

dude..are you sitting on the toilet?!  :-\

If so..I believe this is what is standing in between you and your wish.

My cat Molly always comes in the bathroom when I am taking a crap.  She gets all lovey dovey and I just don't get it lol.  She hasn't jumped in my pants though.

Everybody poops, dude.  [cheeky]

I had just gotten home from work, and had no more than seated myself and in she went. Apparently she missed me more than normal, since this isn't typical behavior.

My cat Hannibal used to do that.  Glad he's not the exception. 

Geeze....what's wrong with you people....close the friggen door. There are some places pets just should not be at certain times....

Yeah, yeah...funny book. You could add a new page to it with that pic.

Wait, are you saying you don't hold your cat on your lap while you poop?

[laugh]  ....ummm no...

We call one of the cats "Pee Assistant" because he always runs for the bathroom if me or my wife head in there.

JM

Our cats do that too.

Wtf is wrong with them?!?

When I'm in the shower, he sits on the toilet lid, watching the shower like he's standing guard or something.

JM

Yep. Same here.

If i manage to get into the bathroom without one of the cats he will paw at the door like he's dying to get in there.

My himalyan cat, hagu has started watching the tv now.  To the point, where i have to shooo him away as he keeps blocking me.  The DVD that started all this is "Flight of the Conchords" menu.  He started chasing moving things and tapping the tv.  Pretty funny.

My himalyan would always peek in at me showering.  His perch was behind the toilet which have him easy access for attempting to claw me everytime I touched the shower curtain.

Are you wearing a poncho?

No thats one of my cats

Mine does that too. Weird animals.

My mother had a cat that would do the same thing. After a couple of months of this cat following her to the bathroom and watching her pee, she was awakened one night by the sound of someone peeing. Which was weird, since, you know, she lived alone at that point. So she gets up to investigate, baseball bat in hand, and she turns on the light in the bathroom only to find Jamal (the cat) hanging her butt over the seat taking a leak in the toilet.

thats funny haha and funny strange

[laugh] :o

Longcat got a haircut tonight. Every few months I break out the beard trimmer and shear away tons of extra belly and side fur. It really cuts down on hairball/blarg surprises. There's a quarter in there for scale. The pile is about 3" deep.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/900rider/Pets/2011-03-27_20-01-56_978.jpg)

^^ That looks like the amount of hair I had to cut off the Himalyan's azz so she didn't have anymore dingleberries hanging. 
Loved that cat but that was disgusting!    :P

Yeah we've had at least one major code brown before.

Bad situation. :P

I thought the cat had a swollen gland on it's azz but turned out to be a grey turd.  That happened twice the first week we had her and then I decided it would get it's butt shaved..permanently.   

Wasn't quite sure where to put this but it's funny:

Cute cat begging..not feeling sorry for it though.  Doesn't look like it's missed any meals lately.  ;)

We said a sudden, sad farewell to our black cat Yang this morning at around 3:45 a.m.; she woke us up crying at around 3:00, and our dog Fluffy & Yang's sister Yin were both whining and agitated as well. Yang was outside our bedroom door laying on the floor & couldn't move her back legs. We called the emergency line at the vet's office, and he met us there about half an hour later. His diagnosis was a blood clot that had moved from her heart to the arteries in her legs, with little or no hope of treatment. There really wasn't anything to do but say good bye and comfort her and each other the best we could while he prepared the syringes.

(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4274447023_9a26af3aa0_z.jpg)

She could be an ornery little cuss with a stunning array of allergies and strong, loudly argued opinions on a variety of topics, particularly about how little she cared for the pricey, low-allergen cat food that was the only thing she could keep down. Of all the pets in the household - including the 100 lb. husky mix dog - she was clearly the alpha in the house. She could also be incredibly affectionate, with a huge personality for a little seven pound critter. We're going to miss her terribly.

Man I'm sorry to hear that Brad, It's always so hard when one of our friends time has come.  :'(

So sorry to hear that  :'(

Seriously..WHY?! 









 [cheeky]

Because it's Spock and Hobbits.

It's like (awesome sauce)².

Back on topic:

I have apparently spoiled Monty, my roommate's 14 year old long haired grey cat.

I'll admit, when I'm in the kitchen making a sammich and he comes up to investigate, I'll give him a shred of lunch meat. He's all over pretty much any kind of turkey or roast beef. Not so much with the pastrami, and he's hot and cold with swiss cheese.

I made mac and cheese tonight. He could obviously smell it.

What he apparently COULDN'T smell was the hot sauce I'd added to give it some zip.

So he comes up to my chair begging. I put a piece on the floor, expecting him to smell the hot sauce and back away.

Nope.

3-4 solid licks. He was JUST about to bite the noodle.

And then the spice kicked in. 

He spent a couple of minutes sitting there looking at the noodle all confuzzled and licking his chops.

When I moved the noodle closer, to see if he REALLY wanted it, he backed away.  [laugh]

Maybe that'll learn 'em.

My kind of cat... [evil]

My wife brought home 2 kittens. We're only keeping one. I don't know anything about cats. What do you feed a really young, around 1 month old, kitten? Please, nothing too fancy. I recently moved to Chile so pet supplies are limited.

From the net-

A one month old kitten (4 weeks) should still be nursing its mother or else being bottle fed.  It's very important to feed a kitten a proper milk supplement.  KMR Brand of formula is excellent.  It can be purchased from a local veterinarian, farm supply store, and possibly a pet store.  It will need to be diluted as directed on the can.  The kitten will need this supplement until it is a full 6-7 weeks old, though I prefer to feed it for a week to two longer than that in addition to regular kitten foods.  It will also need to be fed quite often.  It will need to start eating soft foods at 5-6 weeks and can be started on dry at 6-7 weeks, if you choose.  I highly recommend the truly premium foods such as Wellness and Nature's Variety.  Please read my past AllExperts answers regarding food brands, diet, and nutrition.  Please try to find the brand of kitten milk replacer that I mentioned...regular cow's milk can cause major gastrointestinal problems and does not contain sufficient nutrients for a kitten.  When the kitten reaches 6 weeks it will also need an initial vet exam to check for parasites, etc.

Good info here as well--> http://www.kittencare.com/feeding_kittens.html (http://www.kittencare.com/feeding_kittens.html)

I too found it, but being in Chile, I'm not sure if I can find the milk supplement that they mentioned.

How about the link. . . didn't they have a recipe for make your own milk at home (from cow?)  I just skimmed it.  I'm by no means an expert.

I did find some recipes. I hope I can think of something.

Just do the best you can.  Plenty of cats have made it on much less.

We stumbled onto a pet food store that actually have the KMR. We were lucky cause a lady in the store looked at the kitten and told us that it's probably slightly younger than 1 month.

Good for you for helping that kitty out. [beer]

A Tribute to a Furry Friend

I got "Grumpy" when he was only weeks old (I think it was in 97) some people who lived in the same unit/apartment complex I was staying in got 2 Kittens, they kept one, I got the other, when I got him he was thin, covered in Flea's and had some other Medical problems, so I took him straight to the vet, thankfully none were to serious, and a regular flea bath and some other pills and Potions he was well and truly on the path to recovery. While he was sick I called him Grumpy, he was not a happy little Camper, but he was recovering but every now and then he would remind you with a bite or a scratch that he was not 100% well, the name quickly stuck.
After about a month he was fine and growing fast.

I got him when I first moved out of home, I was in a new town, no friends (apart from a few workmates) a crappy little one bedroom Apartment, Grumpy and I quickly became best of Friends, I used to come home from work at Lunch time to spend time with him, he loved it when I came home after work, we used to play a game under the back door, he would put his Paw under the door and try to catch my Fingers, and when I did open the door he would yell at me until I picked him up and gave him a cuddle. I had undiagnosed case of Depression and I still think to this day Grumpy got me through some really dark times, I always knew I had someone to go home to who wanted you around, someone to talk to, and not judge you. My Furry Mate.

When I moved back Home after 12 Months I stayed with my Mum for a few months until I found a new Job and some new accommodation, Grumpy stayed with my mother during that time (Mum had another Cat called "Mummy Cat" and she was Queen of the Household) but when it came time for me to take him with me when I got a Job and a place of my own, He had decided he liked his current living arrangements, and decided to stay! I was dumped....By a Cat!  [laugh]
He had her wrapped around his little Paw, he was given the best food, the Choice of the best Living room Chair, he could come and go as he pleased, he got to sit out the back every morning and watch the Birds get fed (He never chased them, he was just wanted to watch them) a number of years later, Mummy Cat sadly passed away (Age gets us all in the end)
Grumpy was now King of the Castle.

Mum and Grumpy became the best of friends, when she came home from work he was there waiting, He used to sit on Her Paper or Magazine she was trying to read, He used to Dribble when you gave him a Pat, He was a Gentle Giant. My Mum's brother John used to come up and visit for a week or 2 every now and then, and as much as he used to put on the big toughie routine, " I don't like Cats" Grumpy used to follow him around like a lost Child, John and Grumpy were inseparable, where ever John was, Grumpy was beside him. In fact when John went home, grumpy would collapse and sleep for a couple of days, he was exhausted from following John around so much! As much as John used to put on the big toughie routine, you always knew, somewhere deep down inside, he secretly loved that Cat!  

I was always regularly going around home to Visit Mum and Grumpy, He would always want to picked up for his Cuddle, He was always such a quiet cat, but everyone knew when it was Chow time, that was about the only time he got Vocal.

And now he is Gone, Age finally caught up with him, Mum had to put him to sleep Yesterday.
Mum sent me an Email yesterday afternoon, the opening line was Heart Breaking.  :'(
"I have just buried my best mate"

It hurts when we lose a Family member, a Friend or Acquaintance, But we adjust, we Grieve and we move on, but having loved and lost a few "Furry Friends" over the years I always find it's hurts that little bit more and that little bit longer, I have always said I often have more Respect for my Furry companions than a lot of Humans I know, Animals love you for who you are.

Goodbye Grumpy, we will miss you. you will never be forgotten

Eastwood is the tortie, a neurotic little ball of fuzz for reasons I'm not entirely sure.  Calvin is the grey and white tabby, laying claim to his latest kill.  HE FEASTS TONIGHT!

Not to mention it was the comfiest couch EVAR.  She loved camping out on that couch while we still had it.

Other than getting a fence, how do you stp a cat from climbing up to my bed? This damn cat is like a month old and he climbs up every night. Do I need to lock him out of my room?

You learn to love kitten claws.  [laugh]

I am horribly allergic to our cats. I pop Zyrtec like candy. But if we locked them out of ANY room in the house, they would revolt en masse.

Bad idea.  He'll make so much noise trying to scratch through the door that you won't sleep well.

Id say let him on the bed.  If that won't fly, you could try a squirt bottle of water.  When he gets on the bed, light him up.

I keep my cats on a strict schedule.  When the TV goes off, they run into their "room."  I dish food, refresh water and give them some attention before leaving the room and shutting the door.  It works very well.

The freaking fur ball climbs anything! If you're sitting anywhere he'll clutch your leg and leave puncture wounds. I kinda understand why people declaw their cats. It's not a question of letting him on the bed, we're just paranoid we might crush the little guy in our sleep.

Most of the kittens I've known loved to climb anything & everything, all the time, but grew out of it as they got heavier & climbing got to be more like, y'know, work. Then they'd only do it if they wanted to kill something.

Our cat Yin has had a challenging holiday season; we're turtle-sitting for friends who are out of town for two weeks, and she simply doesn't know what to make of the thing:

And then as I was wrapping up some final presents last night, I used up the last of the wrapping paper in the house. Not a problem; I got out a big pad of flip-chart paper, some rubber stamps & the stamp pad to make more. When I turned my back, I discovered that she'd gotten into the act:

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/383860_10150448599484290_631574289_8818317_1760040305_n.jpg)

It was incredibly cute... up until we discovered that she's also walked all over the bed & much of the house.  [roll]

At least you have the perp's prints.  ;)

[laugh] [laugh]

Sounds like something my cats would do.

JM

My Girlfriend and I just moved in together and got a cat. I got to name him. Here's Desmo:

Pretty cat!

JM

Thanks. I just wish he'd learn to sleep at night instead of bouncing off the walls.

I can't decide if he looks adorable or looks like he's about to devour someone's soul.

Good luck with that.

JM

After 6-9 months old, every kitten I've ever had has grown out of the habit. Its darn cute up until they get heavy enough to tear clothing, and then they stop.

Plus, waking up to kitty snuggles is one of the best things ever. You don't want to train them out of that possibility.

Honey, have you seen the cat?

I have now learned that cats are psychotic.

Indeed they are.
One minute our 3 are best buds and the next it sounds like some downtown alley after 2am as they chase each other growling screaming hissing biting etc etc.
But then when it is treat time, they are all best buds again...and nap time...nothing more comfy than a kitteh ball of snuggly warmthness.

Fickle make the beast with two backsin' things...worse than the wimmins!  :-*

Balls.

 :-\

I'm so sorry to hear that - she sounds like a personality that's going to leave a big gap behind.

:'(

I'm so sorry

Thanks guys. 

Gone through it before. Still suuuuucks! 

Just thankful that she had a long, happy life, was safe, well fed and well loved. She was a cool cat and faithful companion.

Her one functioning kidney was, I suspect, finally failing her.  At 18, I wasn't going to bring her to emergency and have her on fluids for days that would then sustain her for a few more weeks.

So grateful for a neighborhood vet who makes house calls so her last day wasn't in a clinic - which she hated with a passion.

Circle of life.... 

:'(

Sorry for your loss, Polly and Randy.   :'(

she was a very lucky girl to have you as her owner and caretaker polly :)

/hugs

Sorry to hear.

this.... I do not like

thats just creepy on so many levels.
let your cat die and keep its dignity

Roy Rogers stuffed and mounted his beloved horse Trigger

his partner Dale Evans was mounted and stuffed,

but only while she was alive    ;D

WTF?

I find this very funny, and very disturbing at the same time.

More disturbing with each passing minute.

I wish I didn't seen the above  :'(

 ;D

Well the next door neighbor's normally docile collie-lab mix dog

killed our 13 year old cat on our front lawn last evening.   (the dog was on leash)

The cat was deaf and must have had its back to them

neighbor no doubt had her cellphone glued to her ear like always yakking away her suburban drama

and was not paying attention to her surroundings or thinking ahead of her dog...

poor Mr. Pooh lasted about 5 minutes.... he took a pretty savage attack

he either died of internal bleeding or shock and heart attack

the wife is devastated

I hope the neighbors don't blame their dog for this.............

all problems with dogs are almost always found at the owner's end of the relationship

on the leash?   [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang]

yup...every time I have seen her out with the dog it is cellphone to ear

eyes glazed over, jaw flapping away and dog pretty much walks itself while she holds the leash

the neighbors aren't exactly the brightest bulbs on the string

Rat900,you phrased it correctly with your last line (stupid pregnant dog!).Tell your wife we're thinking of her.

omg that is beyond horrible! i am so sorry rat  :(
rip mr. pooh

:'(

Rip Pooh

Bad dog owners annoy me. How the hell can someone let that happen?

So sorry for you loss rat. Condolences to you and your wife.

 :(

Sorry, Gerry. That gives me the sads.

heavy boots :-\

Sorry to hear, RAT...  :'(





  [bacon]

RIP Pooh

I am so sorry for your loss Rat.  What a horrible way to go.  RIP Mr. Pooh. :'(

Thanks folks...it sucks,

he deserved a better exit

he was a good "doggish" type of cat

our Mastiff keeps looking around for him

to their credit (and my surprise) the neighbors came over last night with a plant for my wife

and asked if they could pay for his cremation

my wife to her credit told them to please make sure that their daughters understand it wasn't the dog's fault

and to not blame her, she was just being a dog

and life moves forward.......

Our newest.

crap :'(

Sorry, he was a nice cat

The nice one's always die.

Assholes live forever...

I've always wanted an orange tom...

We kept a couple from past litters...and they all died from the road or predators.

I'm pretty much done with pets.

I don't have the energy for them anymore.

Sorry to hear,


RIP Stick Boy Benny.

Sorry to hear that,DP. Condolences to the family.
After going through the same thing with a couple of ours,we trained up our last one to wear a harness and put him outside tethered on a 75' nylon string.He was a good hunter even on the rope,you just had to untangle him once in a while.

Sorry to hear about that, Nate.

Sorry to hear Nate!

JM

so sorry bro.

Sorry about your kitty DP. We just got news that 13 year old Calvin has kidney disease. He's not long for this world.

Sorry to hear hiblam, we lost a wonderful sandy tabby to kidney disease, it's so hard to see that happen.  My two black cats (We call them sentinels, they're 30lbs and guard us & our furry friends when sick) stood watch over him and laid down on either side of him as he was going.  It was hard to see him go.

JM

goes for humans too....heck I might be immortal after all

Sorry to hear you lost a good one Nate

Me too Gerry...

me too. :-\

Sad to hear about both kitties. 

Took these at the Hemingway House & Museum in Key West.  They continue to breed the polydactyl cats just as Hemingway did.

:D

No clue what she thinks she's doing, but she does this all the time. It's even sillier when she stretches and yawns, and her front legs stick straight out like Superman flying....

 :)

It's in her genes,like a lion hanging out on a tree branch.  :)

Our girl Yin does that too; it must feel good, as she likes to spread her toes as wide as possible.

Considering that lack of opposable thumbs is probably the biggest reason why most cats haven't murdered us in our sleep and stolen all of the gooshy food out of the pantry, do we really need to be encouraging this?

After a really rough weekend with multiple trips to the vet that never really came up with a diagnosis, I got word earlier today that our kitty Yin died while they were trying to get her fluids & core temperature back up.

I'm going to miss her a lot.

Good girl, kee kee.

that is a bummer



there is a really gross looking dead grackle sort of bird floating in my neighbor's pool

........the neighbor whose dog savagely killed our cat

I found the bird in my back yard and took a shovel and catapulted it over the fence

...........and I heard the splash

I did this in honor of Mr. Pooh....and will continue to do so

 :'(

Sorry about your kitteh, tf.



I approve of the bird relocation method.  [thumbsup]

Sorry for your loss. 

RIP Kin. 

Sorry about kitty :(

Thanks, all - it was quite unexpected as she'd been the healthiest and most trouble-free of all the menagerie (now reduced over a rough past year down to one dog & two chickens), and she had just turned nine on the first of the month, so should have had a lot of years in front of her.

Anyway, I appreciate the support. She was a good, quirky little soul, and she leaves behind a way bigger hole in our home than you'd expect from a seven pound furball.

Sorry to hear.

RIP Yin.

 Wow Speedbag,I got a lump in my throat reading that one.  :-[

Do your cats all come from a home next to the nuclear power plant?  30 pounds is pretty big. Our cats are big at 15lbs.

Do you get those green plastic turtle sand boxes from the hardware store to use as litter boxes?  [laugh]

Ok, you noticed too . . .

I luff teh kitteh's.   ;D

We have THREE of the big covered litter boxes in the house!  The black cats are part Main Coon and Norwegian Forest Cat, two of the largest breeds around.  They also got a lot of roast beef when they were kittens because I'd toss them scraps as I made my sandwich every day.  All of ours are a little "special" it seems.  Two are abnormally large, one has extra toes, ones abnormally small, one lives in a bathroom sink, one is cross eyed and afraid of his shadow, and one is a senior citizen.

JM

So, they're all purrfect!!   ;)

:D

I thought my Maine Coon was a little on the plus size at 15lbs...jeeze

This big lump of love has been living in my yard for a few weeks.  He's clearly blind, though that doesn't give him too much trouble when it comes to finding the food bowl.  I'm taking him into my vet tomorrow to get him checked out and then trying to find a home for him.

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WxKXCwCKpso/UE5GR25s_1I/AAAAAAAACO0/Ma3KBPRtzq8/s800/IMAG0786.jpg)

awwwwwww

Sounds like he's already found one. 

what he said !

awww man
keep him
he's a nice little guy
deserves a good home.... with lots of food

I second the motion . . .

The vet, or a specialist, might even be able to fix his eyes.

Well, after a brief visit to the vet, it turns out that his name is Blue and his home is around the corner from me.  I expect that if he ever sneaks out again that I'll see him on my porch briefly before his owners (who I now know) come to retrieve him.

I would have been tempted to keep him myself if I didn't already have two fuzzbuckets running around the house, but since he was chipped he at least has a family who cares for him.

You were feeding him. Even a blind man knows it when the sun shines.  ;D

Good on ya for looking out for him & for tracking down his people.  [thumbsup]

Glad he found his way home.   [thumbsup]

Your story reminded me that our dogs still need to be chipped.

Ollie likes his perch atop the kitty tree!

he has "granite camouflage" ...  ;D he's so cute [thumbsup]

And he's still coming by to mooch off of my outside food bowl on a daily basis.  I can usually find him sitting on my front porch when I get home from work, so he gets some pettins and a snack.

Also, one of my kitties just turned 2 this week:

There is no such place "where the cat can't go".

Another?  Damn

Yup...

not to the road this time.

She got caught somewhere...

came home all sooty and with a leg that is indescribable...we tried.

There will be turf wars here as she was the Queen.

Sorry to hear it DP.  :(

Sorry to hear dp!!!  I hate to see one go!!!!

was Quattro the black or orange?

RIP Quattro :'(

Sorry to hear that, Nate.

Quattro was the oldest mama. She was a really dark calico...mostly black, but with some mottling of yellow/orange.

Gage named her at the first DIMBY. She's been around for a while.

Sorry bout her . . . I like cats and dogs  . . . people, I like less . . .

so sorry guys :(

Sorry Nate, RIP Quattro. :'(

My cat sleeps on my bike all the time.

My cat sleeps all the time. Period.

Suck day. :'(

Calvin (13 years 9 months) was diagnosed with kidney disease 8 months ago. Antibiotics kept it at bay since and his quality of life has been acceptable. The last month or so he has been stumbling when he walked and not eating as much. The last three days were progressively worse. I found him hidden in closet this morning and he wouldn't eat when I took him out. I put him in his favorite place, lounging in the sun in the back yard, but later found him in the shade in the bushes drooling.

We took the drive over to his vet and unlike all the other drives where he howled and cried this time he was silent. I got to spend a few minutes with him before he faded away. Hopefully he knew I just wanted to make sure he wasn't hurting.

He has been a great cat, very sweet and gentle with the other pets we have brought in. Its going to be hard to get used to not having him around.

His favorite spot, in the sun on a warm jacuzzi...

sorry hbliam . . .

That sucks.

Calvin looked very much at peace on top of the jacuzzi.  [thumbsup]

Sorry for  your loss.

So sad...RIP Calvin.

sad day

:(

Sorry to hear.

You did the right thing though. Calvin couldn't have asked you for a better life. Keep that in mind.

That's a hard thing, but you did right by him. RIP, Calvin.

No doubt Calvin is resting forever peacefully.  Sounds like he had a wonderful life ~ and what a privilege to be there with him as he moved to the next.

Get used to "seeing" him around the house for a while.  It's been almost a year and I still have moments of seeing my old girl out of the corner of my eye.  It's weird.


<hugs>

Sorry hiblam, we lost our Couger cat to kidney disease.

JM

Thanks guys....we are in day two of the suck. I can't believe how bummed I am. I mean I knew it was coming and all.

So sorry for your loss. RIP Calvin  :(

Calvin can now play with Bob chasing endless mice.

This is my cat oliver. He is a maincoon ragdall. He isnt stretching in this picture, this is how he just lays around the house. I keep yelling at him to stop being so lazy and get a job and start contributing. He loves to be held like a baby (he purrs louder when you hold him)

Wow.  He's so.....   gray.

(http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo240/jessethibodaux/20130210_161404-1_zps5d03ca18.jpg)This is Luna. My girlfriends cat. She hates me.... well not really but she definitely gets depressed when her mother leaves. She is a siamese lynx point. She also loves this heating pad.

Cool cats!

I miss having one.

I used to be a dog person. But my girlfriend came with a cat... so I adopted one.
Ok last pic I promise:
(http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo240/jessethibodaux/20130301_091638_zps4bc517e7.jpg)
I just got my new seat in the mail and of course first thing he does is start playing with the plastic (his favorite game.

Funny.

I had one specific plastic dry cleaner bag that my cat played with for YEARS!  They have 9 lives.  No fear of silly suffocation.

And don't stop posting the pics on my account.  This is the cat thread, right?   ;)

My cat insists on smothering me in the mornings.

My two fuzzbuckets doing their thing, which is to say being lazy and trying to use all of the space on my recliner. 

When it rains it pours...I posted a few pages back the news that I had to put Calvin down on February 11th. It was rough and we still miss having him around. It seems Casey, our girl cat, missed him even more. I had to put her down last Saturday after she went from no issues ever in 12 years to not eating, distended abdomen, throwing up, etc. Vet diagnosed cancer. I think it was cancer and depression. After Calvin died she looked for him in all his spots in the backyard for the first two days. Then she stopped going in the backyard altogether. So our hearts are heavy with no felines in the home. Lucy the JRT is not taking it well. Hopefully the new dog will help her.

Ciao Casey...

So sorry :(

 :'(  sorry to hear about Casey.

So sorry to hear about Casey; it's tough to lose critters in the first place, but in close succession is especially hard. Take care of you & yours.

And Suzyj, that is one fine looking fella.  [thumbsup]

My two guys. They're about 4 months old now.

So sorry to hear hbliam, they're so hard to part with.

Bearded - are those Abyssinian cats?

JM

 :'(

I dunno actually. My girlfriend and I adopted them as "domestic short hairs" which usually means who knows what the hell they're mixed with. We were told they both came from the same litter but, like in the pic, Jack looks a little like an Abby, and when Theo sits upright he looks to have a Siamese face.

Both of their ear to head ratios are very similar to Abyssinians.

They look a little like Havana Browns - which was the result of planned breedings between Siamese and domestic black cats - they are also known as non-blue eyed Siamese. (Used to show cats in a different lifetime)

Sorry for your loss, hbliam.   :'(

Zah Zah has discovered my dresser drawers are perfect caves with nice soft, clean clothes to snuggle in.

I guess we'll have to wait till they get a bit older. All kittens area bit fluffy and nondescript, but some of their features are beginning to show.

My faithful companion for the past 11 years left me today.   :'(

She traveled to the land of abundant catnip, mice, and boxes.

Zah Zah you helped me through the toughest times of my life, you will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Rest in peace, Princess.

Thanks all for the kind words. 

I asked B last night what he wants for his birthday at the end of this week, his reply "a kitten or two."

Doesn't look like we'll bet without cat long.   [thumbsup]

Big cats like boxes too.   [thumbsup]  [laugh]

Mothermakethebeastwithtwobacksing Edward! - Big Boy.  [clap]
I gotta post some pics of one of my mom's cats, his name is Oak and he's about the size of one. Arms like Popeye.

His last vet checkup, we put him on the scale and he weighed 29.8lbs.
Our normal vet had never seen him before so when he comes walking into the exam room, he immediately goes, "We need to do something about Edwa..." He cuts himself off as he looks up at Edward and goes, "Huh...he isn't morbidly obese..."

Turns out, he *is* a bit overweight but he has no risk for feline diabetes which shocked our vet even more.
He is a huge love bug though...all he wants to do is snuggle. So what if that involves crushing your chest and windpipe as long as you know he LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES you.  [laugh]

He sounds a lot like my Spectre cat.  Spectre is similar in size & weight and he got on my chest in the middle of the night once.  I woke up because I was having trouble breathing...

^^^ Wow, I have the near duplicate of him terrorizing my house (down to the black specks on his nose), only difference being the eyes on my character are more greenish (his name's Lucy, short for Lucifer).

Cool!  There are times this one could be a lucifer!  Most of the time he's a cuddle cat.  We call him copper cat for a nick, because he's he's copper colored all over!

JM

Does he fetch? Mine does, just started doing it one day when he was young. He brought a catnip mouse over to me and dropped it. I tossed it, repeating again and again and he kept bringing it back. Screwball.

Takes showers with me in the morning (on the edge of the tub, peering around the curtain to get some spray), acts like a dog when I get home from work, follows me around the house. Also likes to wake me up at normal work time on weekends by licking my face incessantly, I think he's afraid of me being late for work.

He's been a better dog than any actual dogs I've had to date.  :)

Old picture of him mauling one of the others.  :)

His coloring matches yours more now and he's bulked up in the shoulders since. His fur around his face is more full now too.

(http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo118/Speedbag/two.jpg)

He doesn't really fetch, but one of my monster (30ish lbs) black cats carries me all kinds of random objects he feels like I need to see.  He even brought me a shoe one day.

JM

Pablo approves of the Security Six.  I wouldn't mess with him, he's got enough extra toes to load and fire it...
