My Cats

[red states rule]

These are my spoiled cats

They are a joy

[darin]

I see a little camera-shake, perhaps in a couple of those.

I love my cats. I can't begin to think about how sad I'll be when they die. :(

Damn it... don't say that. Because I know what you mean. My partner is 15, and I dread the day he leaves me too. I absurdly spoil him with the mere thought of it.

Great cats rsr. I love cats. I don't think there's a cuter baby of anything that's cuter than a cat.

Here's my partner up in his lookout...

They all have different personalities

When I get home at night they all come out and say hi

[red states rule]

In all their glory

Brad and Mike just turned 12. They are very curious cats.

They stalk my wife. Literally. We've had to start locking them out at night. When my alarm sounds, or they decide they are ready to grace her with their presence, all 20+lbs hop up onto the ~3ft high bed. They walk over to her, and straddle her face (one on each side of her head) and get into purring contests to see who she pets first. If they see a hand out from under the covers, they start lickin'. Most-any-skin, really, is fair game to them. GODFORBID if they see you open an eye!! Then they are in your face!

Mike likes to lay on top of Mary - facing her, with his paws tween her bewbs - What guy wouldnt? right? :) He'll inch up as if to say "You cannnnnot seeeeeeeeeee meeee!!" until he has a paw around each side of her neck, then he nose-dives for the crease between her neck and shoulder and nuzzles in.
Brad's more annoying, I'd say, because he's persistent. Hard to shoo him off.
I've caught Brad, on numerous occasions, slowly reaching down Mary's shirt, as she lays there.

He'll holler and call for food, a clean litter box, or just for attention. He still chases laser-pointers, too! :D

No pics of Brad here - but he's like Mike, but Orange. :) And heavier.

Big boy

My favorite cat. Munchkin, tips in scales at 16 pounds

She is a big girl

[Abbey Marie]

D, those are some affectionate cats you have! Isn't it funny when people who don't have cats, try to tell you they are too "aloof" to be good pets?

[glockmail]

I told you before that cats are simply waiting around for the day that you stroke out and can't defend yourself. Then they will descend on you and feed. I can see it in their evil little slit eyes. I've only got one of the little bastards and he takes a taste out of me whenever he gets the chance. And I rescued his sorry ass twice now. Once as an abandoned kitten with an intestine full of worms and the second time last month with his tail run over by a car and a mangled foot. $750 and three weeks later he's back to biting me in the leg. Damn stubby-tailed mutant he is.

[diuretic]

My cat knows my habits. If get out of bed and wander into the bathroom to take a leak she stays on the sofa and lets me go back to bed to sleep without bothering me. But she does that even when I'm on night shift and sleeping during the day. It's like she knows it's not time for me to get up. But she must know when I get up to stay up because she comes racing in to the bedroom doing the "hi there, good to see you, now feed me" meet and greet and rub feet routine. When I'm working evening shifts and want to sleep a bit longer she hops up on thed and insists on running over my head until I give in and get up to feed her.

Those are lovely cats btw. Mine's a Tortoiseshell. I must dig a pic out.

[red states rule]

Ditto. They know when I am getting ready to go to work and they don't like it. They follow me around and a couple will lay on my briefcase as if to stop me from leaving

[diuretic]

She doesn't mind me going to work as long as I've fed her. The dog doesn't like it. But then the dog is the first to greet men when I come home. The cat makes sure it's me before rushing off to her food bowl :laugh2:

[red states rule]

and don't forget a clean litter box

With as many as I have, I am using 4 boxes - and they are each cleaned twice per day

In the morning after breakfast is served they watch me clean them

Then they go

They are worth all the fuss

Here are my 2 they were both rescued off the street. Garfield the cat (kid's named him) was about 7 weeks old when we found him. He is comical he will go racing to the front door when he hears our car pull up and wait for us to come in and as soon as we open up the door he rolls over on his back and starts flipping from side to side greeting us. The dog however, we have to go looking for her she never comes to the door when we come home. The cat when it gets close to 10:00pm he starts looking at us like come on it's bed time. When we finally get up to go to bed I'll tell him come on Garfield it's bedtime and he goes racing down the hallway but then stops right before he gets to the bedroom and looks to make sure we are coming then he goes and hops in bed and lays down.


Garfield loves to play as well there was one time dad was coming out of his room about 6 in the morning it was dark in the hallway and Garfield was laying in the middle of the floor in front of dads bedroom door, well dad about tripped on him as he was walking to go to the bathroom Garfield jumped up and ran down the hallway a little further and laid back down in the middle of the floor and tripped him again :laugh2: that cats devious!

Actually she is not your typical dog....we found her this past February during an ice storm someone dumped her off, we live in the country so we see that a lot. We think who ever owned her before abused her because when we first took her in she was always shaking and if you walked up on her to fast or raised your hand up by her she would cower like she was afraid she was going to get hit. She would never play or even act like a normal dog. We have gotten her to come around a lot since we first took her in she is more playful now and no longer cowers when you come up on her or raise your hand up by her.

She never barks either I have heard her bark maybe twice and the first time she ever barked was probably about 3 months after we found her we were all sitting in the kitchen and my boy's were a couple of houses down playing with the neighbor kid's, we heard Chocolate start barking and we all looked at each other and was like she's barking! We go into the living room and she is at the window and she runs over to the door the same time my oldest and the neighbor kid come running into the house to tell me that my youngest got hit in the head with a rock and he was bleeding and she takes off out the door and runs over to my youngest and stands there with him looking to make sure we were coming.

[red states rule]

It is a shame people dump or mistreat them

All my cats are strays - some dumped, other kittens born to a stray

Yeah I know we see a lot of that around here too. My neighbors have 5 dogs and 4 cats and all but 1 were dumped off here and they took them in.

I think people get them when they are babies because aw they are so cute and then they get older and they get tired of them, there not so cute anymore, so they dump them off. People need to realize when you take on a pet you need to be ready to commit to that pet for the duration of their life.

With me, it is a lifetime promise to love and care for them

They are a pain in the ass sometimes - but they are worth it

How can you be mad with cats like these?

I once offered my services as a volunteer with the RSPCA here (I'm a Life Member) but the general manager told me I'd end up in prison for belting the living daylights out of the first person I investigated for animal curelty. I took the hint.

I had a feeling that she might have been abused based on the look in her eyes and your earlier post. You appear to be doing the right thing; with continued love and attention and respect she'll come around.

I've always been of the understanding that dogs who bark all the time are immature. (Sort of like some of the younger posters around here.) An intelligent dog should reserve the bark for when it is necessary, and your's did exactly that. The event that you described also indicates that she is watchful of your kids and that is a very good thing.

But you were kidding about the cat's eyes right? The eyes are part of their imperious charm. :D

But I cant have them as I am allergic to them. My friend has them and every time I go over there I get a really stuffy nose and can't stop sneezing.

No wonder they look so pissed off. Mine's a vicious predator.

One we get his ass in Mexico he'll find out that the US ain't such a bad place after all. My guess is he'll come back crying, soon after his first "shakedown" with the local protection organization.

The first time I had this happen was with a cat named Blackbeard. I came out of a deep sleep thinking something was VERY wrong as I couldn't breath right.
Now P. Bear does. She likes her hind quarters being shook before settling down to bedtime. Picture those old ads with women on those fat-reducing machines with the belts. She's dirty white with grey ears & tail; blue eyes.

Of course MM could solve oir illegal immigration problem. He will go to Mexico, tell everybody he runs into what a rotten place America is, and perhaps nobody will want to come here

Mine eats dry food- Dental Diet. We go away on weekend routinely and leave him a big ol' bowl. He comes and goes through the dog door at will, and hunts down by the creek. He also been seen crawling up through street drains, so he must be venturing through the draiange system in the 'hood. I'd like to have a "cat cam" on him someday.
