You Are a Ragdoll Cat

http://www.blogthingsimages.com/whatbreedofcatareyouquiz/ragdoll.jpg

You are extremely cute and cuddly. You are downright adorable.
Your personality matches your exterior. You are very laid back and sweet.

You don't really like the outdoors. You prefer to stay inside where it's cozy.
Luckily, you are the perfect houseguest. You are polite and obedient.

The quiz labelled me as a ragdoll as well! :crazybounce:

Our real rag doll, Newton, would be happy to hear it...

You Are a Bengal Cat
http://blogthings.cachefly.net/whatbreedofcatareyouquiz/bengal.jpg

You look wild, but deep down, you're really quite sweet.
You are curious about the world around you, and you love to explore.

You liked to swim and climb trees as a kid... and probably still do!
You are confident and energetic. You are ready to take on the world.


Hey!! That's me!! :D

Poll said I was a Siamese.

I will be getting a Bengal though someday. Love those cats!

I don't need to take this test.

I already know I'm a lion. Or a tiger. Depends on how I'm feeling that day...

I'm a Maine Coon Cat

You tend to be loving and playful around your family and friends.
But when you're around strangers you tend to be a bit reserved.

You are intuitive. You understand human emotions well.
You do best when you are around people. You don't like being left alone.

:eek: d...d....daaad...DAD!:jaw: :scared: ... :wtf:... :sorry:... no. :runaway:

I love Maine Coons! We had one from the time I was in 7th grade until my sophomore year in college when he sadly died of a seizure - best cat ever!
Though, I think the Ragdolls would be a very close second in my list of choices!

We have threeMaine Coon Cats, age 15, 14, and 3. The two older cats lived on our sailboat with us until 2005.

You Are a Sphynx Cat

http://www.blogthingsimages.com/whatbreedofcatareyouquiz/sphynx.jpg

Some say you're part monkey, part dog, part child, and part cat.
You're unique and mysterious enough to seem a little otherworldly.

You're so hyper active that you almost literally climb the walls.
You are also devoted and loyal. But you demand a lot of attention in return.

What Breed of Cat Are You? (http://www.blogthings.com/whatbreedofcatareyouquiz/)

:eek: Poor Chairman's going to disagree with that :p

Fun Chairman Meow story of the moment: A lot of times he'll sleep part of the night in the garage atop my Firebird (He watches for mice believe it or not) and tonight the water heater started acting up. The pressure valve must be faulty (It's a brand new water heater) so it started doing this loud repetive squeeking! It freaked him out until I shut off the water supply to it and the gas. I imagine he thinks it's a giant mouse or something now...

So he's been eying it funny for the past couple of hours (No doubt trying to figure how to kill it). :D

Well, as long as we're doing "funny cat stories"... My cat Jet is a total spaz. Lately he's taken to falling asleep on top of the sofa, behind my head as I'm watching TV. The back of the sofa is about 8" from the wall because there's a heat reister in the floor behind it. Problem is, he tends to fall asleep up there. So about twice a night I'll hear a loud "klunk" and he'll come wandering out from behind the sofa with a squint and the funniest "Wha' happened?!" look on his face. He hasn't figured out the correlation between falling asleep and falling off the back of the sofa yet. Not all cats are graceful and intelligent. :rolleyes:

Did the test on everybody in the house, I'm a Maine Coon and the wife and daughter are both Bengal Cat's. :cool:

Considering we have 3 cats, 2 females and 1 male. The HBIC is the only one with no front claws, keeps the others in check, and the male is the biggest pu**y in the house, won't stand up to the other cats, he is the youngest, just over a year old.

Later

NB

So about twice a night I'll hear a loud "klunk" and he'll come wandering out from behind the sofa with a squint and the funniest "Wha' happened?!" look on his face.

I discovered a great way to get around that when one of mine peed in the carrier on the way back from the vet, with his brother in there with him - I just threw them both in there in the carrier and got them all hosed down - then let them out to shampoo and rinse.... still drama from the one, but at least I wasn't shredded to ribbons, and he wasn't soaked in pee anymore :)

You Are a Siamese Cat
You are a very communicative creature. You're eager to express yourself - and do so often.
You are very dependent and love attention. You will complain if you are not getting enough affection.

Even though you are very loving, you can seem aloof, unpredictable, and stubborn in relationships.
A relationship with you takes a lot of patience.

I am Siamese, if you please.

I will be getting a Bengal though someday. Love those cats!


Be careful, they like to get into ****!

Specifically, fly traps.

:rotflmao: That's awesome! I bet that cat was wayyy hostile as it HAD to be your fault for his predicament :p

Chairman got a sticker on his tail in his ventures and for a solid day wouldn't let anyone mess with it (I don't know how if he thought we'd make it worse or something?).

How'd you get that one off?

She jumped in the air to get a fly and caught the trap mid crotch. :D

I tried several different methods to get it off of her but had to go with brute force.

She was pissed! :eek:

I've heard. Does she like water? I've read about Bengal owners leaving about an inch or two of water in the tub at all times so the cat can play in it.

Cool looking cat! :D You cat has that look like, "What are you doing, let's play!!"

Camaro, You have to get that shot of your cat in the saddlebag published. That is a fantastic shot!

Cool looking cat! :D You cat has that look like, "What are you doing, let's play!!"

I guess she's easy to read. EAT.SLEEP. POOP. PLAY. CUDDLE. EAT. SLEEP. POOP. PLAY. CUDDLE.

Took that test, Said I was a "Norwegian forest cat" :)

I thought I'd throw this in here :( My cat Chairman Meow (He's a ragdoll) is my baby. I always have to let him out to run around the backyard for a good 30 minutes a day. I got a call today to come into work, so after school (around 2pm) I ran home, changed, and since my cell phone was almost dead I plugged it in and left it. Right before I left I let Chairman out to run around and Ma B said she'd get him (which usually just involves finding him and he knows to come back in on his own)...

... So I get home from work at about 9pm and no Chairman (He ALWAYS greets me at the door). Turns out while he was out back he found a new buddy (a baby rattlesnake!). He got bit and is at the cat hospital. He has to stay overnight on an IV and have his blood checked every couple of hours. I have to wake up in about 6 hours to pick him up (He's doing a lot better). :(

The lesson?
Chairman almost died (which I wouldn't be able to accept)
The anti-venom alone is $600 and everything else is a good $300-$400.
I guess the whole process is incredibly painful and stressful (poor kitty :( )

The doctor said snakes start to come out a lot this time of year and in fact at the same time 2 other dogs that showed up at the hospitalfor the same reason (snake bites). So if you have indoor/outdoor cats or dogs be careful! Try to keep long grass and brush trimmed down and keep an eye out along fence lines for snakes.

Sorry to hear of Chairman's condition. Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery and will be back home soon... safe, sound and back to normal. :)

I can't imagine losing my cat, either, but know one day the inevitable will happen. That's the most suckiest part of owning a pet. :(

good juju thoughts to the Chairman! :thumbup:

I wonder how this poll is doing over on the Harley forums?

I'm a maine coon, apparently. Our personal cat is an ohio dumbass, but we love him.

good juju thoughts to the Chairman! :thumbup:

My first cat, Tick Tock, was the runt of the litter and I had to hand-feed her for weeks or she would have surely perished. I had her for 16 years and she was the best cat anyone could have. She once even got between me and a huge German Shepard trying to "protect" me when a friend brought the dog into the house unannounced. At 16 years old and starting to show her advanced years she developed a tumor on her hind leg. I took her to the vet every week for months for steroid shots that made her feel much better, but eventually they did no good. When it became obvious she was feeling pain I took her to the vet and he euthanized her while I held her in my arms, purring away the whole time. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do and I'm tearing up as I write this remembering what a great companion she was to me for so many years. I still have her collar and ID tag decades later and just can't seem to get rid of them.
I never wanted another cat after Tick Tock passed away, but when my mother died last year I adopted her cat Jet since the poor little guy had nowhere else to go. He cried the whole way to his new home and hid under the bed for weeks before he felt secure enough to explore his new surroundings. Now he acts like he owns the place and although he has a much different personality than my first cat (he's only 3 years old and a juvenile delinquent) we've already become a team.
I don't think you fully appreciate the effect that small creature has on your life until it's no longer a part of it. Hope you two have a lot more years left to enjoy each other's company.
And best wishes for a speedy recovery to the Chairman.

I hope Chairman feels better soon!

This made me so sad... I'm glad Jet has a buddy with you, that way you both can remember your mom.

Thanks all! I just picked him up about half an hour ago and he's acclimating well. He wants outside again already :p I couldn't sleep at all last night and was anxious to get him back home. I'm kind of bummed at the expense though :( $1,600 was the total!

Poor kitty doesn't realize any of it, but I suppose it's better that way :p

Yay!! Way to go Chairman!!! :hellokitty:

Vex, you know it's money well spent. :thumbup:

Sleep well tonight. :sleep:

Money well spent to save your loving pet. Hope Chairman goes back to his normal self.

Not cool man, really not cool to say something like that at all let alone in a thread for/by/of cat lovers.

I took the quiz and got bengal cat. I like them and maybe one day I'll have one. for now I don't have any animals cause of my apartment, but still get to see my parent's pets which are 3 cats and a dalmatian. They used to have more but as the years go by they pass away one by one and they just don't really have the urge to have large numbers of animals anymore.

You Are a Norwegian Forest Cat

You are both athletic and adventurous.
You dream of climbing the highest mountain and surfing the biggest waves.
While you are active and spirited, you are also sweet and cuddly.
You're very family oriented, and you love to be around people.


Sounds like the kinda cat I'd like to have. Probably won't have a cat of my own for a few years, but I'd actually like to get a Bengal. Or better yet, some kind of bobcat/domestic hybrid.

This is making me miss the cats of my youth :o I get to see one every once in a while. My friend adopted her when my Dad moved to IL.

What the hell, here's some pix:

I AM SO SICK OF LITTER. Ive been wanting to do this.

Seriously... a cat using a toilet? How did you train it to do that? And does it flush? :)

Patience, and no. ;)

Theres some on youtube that flush though

You can train them to flush pretty easily, actually. The problem is that they rarely associate going to the toilet with the flushing afterward, and they'll just flush the toilet all day when they feel like it.

Its not that bad here, but probably because Im near the largest group of freshwater lakes on the planet:)

I was just down in florida and they're having a freshwater problem.They"re only allowed to water their lawn certain days of the week is all I can remember. Maybe someone here from florida can chime in on this with more detail.

I am glad Chairman will make a recovery!

What Breed of Cat Are You? (http://www.blogthings.com/whatbreedofcatareyouquiz/)

I think my cat Loki was a Ragdoll... He was a stray I picked up...and had to give away because I moved into another house where there was going to be an Akita mix and a Boxer... Loki would have been Kitty snack... Then it turned out that the Akita was going to be an outside/garage dog and the boxer was finding another home... I could have kept my cat... :( ah well.. He went to a good home..

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/S2_Rp/Me%20and%20Mine/Kittie005.jpg

She has HIDs!?

She has HIDs!?

Yep, 10000000000K haha

Yeah Loki looks very ragdollish :) It's tricky because there is about 3-4 breeds that look VERY simliar. Thanks again to all those with kind words. Chairman seems to be back to his normal self. He's eager to go outside (which isn't going to happen anymore :p). To add to that it's raining right now and he STILL wants out :D I snapped some battle scar pics as well.

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll294/VeX86BirD/Chairman_Meow/Chairmans_Mane.jpg
It's hard to get a picture, but his neck is shaved and something was on his neck ( I don't believe it was the IV, but I'm no doctor ;) ). When he looks upward there's a huge patch of missing fur

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll294/VeX86BirD/Chairman_Meow/Chairmans_Boot.jpg
This looks rather funny, but I think this is where they had to shave an put the IV. It looks like he's walking around with a big furry boot on now.

Chairman is a badass.

yay!!

:dance:

Glad to hear he made it through alright.

He wants to get back out and show that rattle snake what's up. That's why he looks so pissed haha.

Stylish kitty cat. Good to know that he's A-Okay.

Well you guys are in the middle of the worst drought ever, aren't you? With the constant news of all the fires over there I'm not surprised you have to ration water. Over here we just keep wasting it like there's no tomorrow. What ticks me off the most is so many people are in the habit of using bottled water even though we have some of the cleanest water on the planet right out of our kitchen taps. And then all those plastic bottles end up in the huge plastic trash island in the Pacific. I hear it's as big as the state of Texas now. Pretty soon we'll be able to walk to OZ! :mad:

Hit the nail on the head over here. That would be cool if you Americans and us Aussies were able to walk to each other's country, save a heck of a lot money!

We made a cat play house today!! Our cats are indoors due to coyotes, Bald eagles and feral cats. The bald eagles during certain times of the year sit outside in a tree in our back yard!! Swoop! there goes my kitty. So to keep them safe , they are indoor only.
We have a dog run. The dogs act as if we are killing them to have them in the dog kennel. So it has become a storage pit. no good.
We moved it today and covered the top with mesh. It is decorated with big tree parts and plants!! They were pretty stoked and weirded out at the same time. :) They can be outside and safe. It is a kitty jungle :)
will finish decorating it and post pics!!

will finish decorating it and post pics!! please :)

Two of the best cats I've had.

please :)

Cats could not play in the new kitty jungle house today - mesh roofing and raining :( and raining and raining.....

Olive and Neko are cute!!

That's awesome :) I love when cats like to get 'comfy' and without a care for dignity just sprawl out like that :D For my last two cats though it was a trap if you tried to pet their bellies though.

Exactly:thumbup:

My cat Jet sprawls out like that all the time. And yes, on occasion rubbing that belly will eventually lead to claw marks for the unwary. Jet has his own way of doing things though. To get in that position he tucks his head in and does a full vertical somersault, landing on his back with all 4 legs stuck in the air.

I got this in an email today... I have to say... I was laughing so hard I cried :D

:kittynap:

I have some sad news. Yesterday after I got home from a ride with some friends my cat, Gizmo, followed me upstairs like normal. When I went back downstairs he jumped up like he was going to follow me, but kind of did a flip in the air. I got about two steps down and heard a thump against the wall. I ran back up to see what happened and he was just laying there. He cried once or twice then stopped breathing, and a few seconds later his heart stopped beating. I called the emergency vet, but they were over half an hour away, and I would have had to take him myself. I gave him cpr like they instructed for a good 15 or 20 minutes, but nothing happened.

He just turned 2 so I'm not sure what went wrong, maybe a seizure or something. When he was at the vet in April they told me he had a heart murmur so maybe that had something to do with it. He said it was only a problem if I started to notice him breathing strangely, but Gizmo was always fine.

I have had other cats die before but this is harder because he wasn't old or sick like the others, and those cats weren't actually "mine". I got Gizmo 2 weeks after I moved into my first house. I'll miss him so much. Just needed to get this all out to help with the grieving process. Rest in peace little buddy.

My condolences.

nb

I have a pic of my cat after we put a black studded collar on him. I'll have to try and find it. He somehow got it in his mouth while trying to get it off and was stuck with his mouth wide open. He looked like an S&M cat. :D

No one posted the video of my stripper neice's stripper cat?! ;)

I guess pets really are like their owners...

Sorry to hear about Gizmo (:(), but this rings true for my niece.

I'm sorry Ryan, that sounds like terribly bad luck for both you and Gizmo. :(

You Are a Maine Coon Cat

http://www.blogthingsimages.com/whatbreedofcatareyouquiz/mainecoon.jpg

You tend to be loving and playful around your family and friends.
But when you're around strangers you tend to be a bit reserved.

You are intuitive. You understand human emotions well.
You do best when you are around people. You don't like being left alone.

What Breed of Cat Are You? (http://www.blogthings.com/whatbreedofcatareyouquiz/)


Almost on-target, just wish my half-Maine Coon ball of fur and death was a little more relaxed about me leaving for the day to take care of those necessities like riding and work.


Ryan, very sorry to hear about Gizmo, I know how hard it can be to lose a first pet and a new friend.

Thanks guys. It does help a little bit to talk about it. Makes me tear up a little bit each time though.

Sorry Ryan :( My cat is 2 too.

You Are a Sphynx Cat

http://www.blogthingsimages.com/whatbreedofcatareyouquiz/sphynx.jpg

Some say you're part monkey, part dog, part child, and part cat.
You're unique and mysterious enough to seem a little otherworldly.

You're so hyper active that you almost literally climb the walls.
You are also devoted and loyal. But you demand a lot of attention in return.

What Breed of Cat Are You? (http://www.blogthings.com/whatbreedofcatareyouquiz/)



That is me as well. My cat would like that. She is a Somali.

http://animal-world.com/Cats/Natural-Breeds/images/Somali_FelisCatusWCtN_Ap6F.jpg
This isn't her, but same breed.

Somali's are very active, curious and playful, yet extremely loyal. Yeah, that explains why we get along so well. She is part dog too, she follows me all over the house. I can't close a door or else I hear this meow from the other side. Her telling me to open up and let her in, NOW!! lol

My condolences, Ryan. :(

So sorry to hear that Ryan. I too have lost a close pet. He was not mine, but he kind of was, since I was there when my mom got him (a ShiTzu). He was lost while getting fixed, some reaction to the anesthesia they gave him. He was not even a year old. So tough. I can still tear up when I think about him. I just cherish the time I did spend with him. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help!

Ryan, I am so sorry about Gizmo - I am tearing up just thinking about it. At least you were there with him when it happened and he knows you gave him a great home while he was with us. :hug:

dang Ryan, so sorry.

Woohoo cats.. I love them

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3255/3173480655_3d3d29ceb3.jpg
The mean looking cat, my wife named him 'Leppard'. He is stupid, arrogant, muscled and eats a lot. Nevertheless, he's guarding the house.... I wish.

My in-law has a bunch of them. Browse my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/adzla

Talking about cat.. I once save a cat in the middle of a highway from being crushed by cars, lorries. The cat I think is being dumped by some idiot owner with low life, and no ounce of humanity. The little tyke is squatting and looked very afraid by the busy moving vehicles. I stopped by the side and quickly grab it and stuffed into my jacket. I bring it to my office and gave it to one of the office janitor (She was actually looking for a kitten for her daughter.) The kitten was so afraid it even pooped to my shirt.

I hate people dumped their pet in the road and left them to die, they should at least dump it at in a wet market or places that they can find food and shelter.

Ryan> Sorry about Gizmo. He definitely had a great master.

Thanks everyone for your support. I too am glad I was there with him. I'm doing pretty good, but yesterday when I got home from work it really hit me. It was the first time he didn't meet me at the door. :(

Sorry Ryan for your loss.

Thanks Rick.

My girlfriend and my mom think it would be good for me to get another cat. I feel kind of bad, like Gizmo deserves more time for me to mourn, but I have agreed to go look at some kittens this weekend with my gf. I told her that unless it feels right I'm not getting one. It would help to not have to come home to an empty house and think about it for the whole night.

Heal the soul, then nourish the spirit. I feel for ya, buddy.

Sorry about Gizmo Ryan. I'm going to bet that when you go to look at the kittens one of them might come up to you and start rubbing your leg - Gizmo channeling?

My heart goes out to you Ryan.

i never planned on having 5 cats. I had accidently ran over my snowball in 2003 and swore i would never have another. 2 weeks later found the mama cat had made a nest in the roof of my shed started feeding her as she was small and letting her in. Little did i know a few weeks later she delivered 3 kittens on my bday. It made the healing process go a lot faster.

Now that is cool that you share a birthday with the cats.

Thanks again everyone, and you were right Don. The kittens chose me. And yes that is kittens with an s.

This is Avery. We met her friday night and instantly fell in love. She purred from the minute we got there until we left.

This is what really made me sure she was for me. She layed down on my lap and fell asleep.

She actually had 2 brothers but they were already adopted. Seeing them together made us realize that we wanted two of them, so saturday we went and found this little guy. His foster mother named him Kevin, but we are changing it to Clutch.

Sorry for all the pictures I'm just excited. I asked Gizmo to help me find some good ones and he sure did. I'm going out of town for the holiday so I will be picking them up the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. I can't wait!

:)

Make sure to hold them and give them alot of love as kittens. The ones who are shown alot of love and are held alot are the same ones who grow up to be the cuddly ones that love being held. I'm sorry about Gizmo, I know what you were/are going through.

Thanks, and I don't think loving them will be an issue, though I totally agree with you.

Although we didn't get Gizmo until he was 5 months old he was the best cat I have ever had. These ones are 10 weeks (Avery) and 12 weeks (Clutch).

glad to see you found some new babies to love :) I know that Gizmo approves :hug:

they are so cute and adorable when they are kittens congrats on your new babies

omgoat!! I want a dozen. just ship them right over!! You picked a couple of winners :)

They're here!!!

Clutch still has an upper respiratory infection and red rimmed eyes so I have to keep them apart, but he is going to the vet tomorrow morning so hopefully that will clear up soon so they can play together.

They're so cute. I hope Clutch comes out alright.

so cute - I love them in that stage - so playful and full of energy!

I just saw this and couldn't resist to share it's just too cute!

http://ca.video.yahoo.com/network/100899001?v=6522901&l=4695079

Thanks guys. They are adorable and so cuddly. Clutch's vet visit went well. They gave me more ointment for his eyes, and said it didn't seem like he had an upper respiratory infection. I have to keep them apart for another week though :( They know each other are there, and will scratch at the other door when they are out. I can't wait to let them play together.

That's a great video BR. That kitty is having the time of his life.

Hi!

I have a question and I hope there is someone else out there who understands what I am taking about and can give me some insight...

Have you ever had a problem with your cat (indoor cat) steeling? Items like clothing, bags of bread, food that is wraped up, etc...

I have the worst problem with one of my cats steeling! He takes bags of food (or anything else he can find) every night but wont eat it or destroy it 95% of the time. It just gets stepped on and smushed when he leaves it laying on the floor in a dark room. He usually brings it to the bedroom. I have woken up to a whole loaf of bread at the end of my bed many times! And he took it up a flight up stairs. When he's feeling brave he'll steel the sandwich or bagel you just made when you turn around.

Why would he be doing this? Anyone else ever have that problem? I have tried hiding things but I can't hide everything.

This is the theif.
"Timothy." (3 years old)
5132


Sometimes he recruits the others in his crimes...
"Gnarley" (1 year old)
5130

and Gnarleys older sister,
"Molly" (2 years old, same mother as Gnarley, different litter)
5131

Poppy my orange cat will take nuts, bolts zip ties but mostly carries around this goofy little mitten. You would have to be careful if you were working on your bike or anything because a part would be somewhere lost. She also takes atm slips,atm cards, Drivers lic. if your purse/ pack is open. So I would leave bread out if I were you to appease the Tim boy!

We were thinking that maybe, just maybe, he brings us 'presents'. Like an outdoor cat will bring you birds, mice, and whatever else they can catch to show their affection. Since he's stuck inside, maybe he 'caught' that loaf of bread and puts it by the bed as his way of showing his affection. Cant think of any other reason why he would be doing this.

Or maybe he's just mad that we painted that room pink.

(Timmys angry look)

Timmy spend the day in the garage once. My boyfriend came home to find paw prints all over his just washed, polished and pretty zx10. The cats are no longer allowed in the garage at all. I'm just happy that he didnt scratch up his seat!

I think it's probably just presents for you - if he was mad he'd be far more evil, like peeing on the bed in the picture :)

Gizmo would just steal things he wanted to chew on. One day I left an SCCA sticker on my desk, and came home to find it in his room with a bunch of teeth holes in it. I figured he wanted it for his own, so I put it on his cat carrier. He seemed to like that :D

I think it's probably just presents for you - if he was mad he'd be far more evil, like peeing on the bed in the picture :)

I've got a big problem with this, my younger kitty. She's 9 months old, seems happy, plays frequently, and uses the litterbox. However, when she feels like it, she'll go and pee all over my bed. I've been through 4 mattresses in the last 30 or so days.

My cat Keiko is a fiend for bread products too. She'll steal a bite of my sandwich if I turn around or leave it unattended for more than a few moments. She doesn't relocate food though, unless it's a bag of kitty treats, which she has shredded and consumed on numerous occasions. Wonder if their liking for bread has any relation to the amount of carbohydrates in the standard cat chow to help it taste better...


Keiko went through the "I'm upset with you" urination phase too. Fortunately she just destroyed a cheap futon, but at the time that was my bed. Honestly don't know what to suggest other than some chemical training aids to keep the kitties away from the bed. Not a great option, but it worked for me long enough for her to get past that phase.

Petsmart and the like have some products that tend to help remove the smell so you don't have to trash things... Justin, have you considered a plastic mattress cover/pad like what they use for little kids who have bed wetting problems? Not the most comfortable to sleep on, but better than continually replacing mattresses!

I had a cat that started to pee on everything! and out of the blue too. I had to put a tarp over my bed/chairs whenever I wasn't sleeping.

As far as Timmy stealing, he doesn't destroy anything, pee on stuff, or anything! He just seems to like to move things around... he's a little odd but the sweetest big boy.

I thought this was funny. My grand father was over the other night and doesn't particularly like animals. I think Clutch could tell, and was trying to convert him.

The stare down.
http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh87/camaroz1985/Avery%20and%20Clutch/PC270557.jpg

He then curled up on his lap, and slept there for a good hour and half or so. Avery was sleeping there for even longer.

It looks like Grandpa decided to join his new friends and take a nap as well.

Haha, no he was just looking down. There is a board game on the coffee table.

too cute! he must not dislike them too much if he let them sit on him!

that is too sweet...

:( . Our beloved cat died. I don't know what are the complications, but she passed away peacefully.

If you havent tried it yet.....get a ziptie....cats LOVE them.....Just drag it across something, and watch the cat go nuts chasing it. They seem to like the bright yellow ones the best.

And here is the funny for the day.....

:) I had to have a lil' help from my little friend ;) Assembling an exhaust can be a real pain, but having kitty on my side, really helped af whole lot!

Thank you guys.

I can get thru it, but the cat was very close to my father in-law. He's a bit depressed when he knew about the cat died.

Yeah, I missed her fluffy-ness.

So sorry Adzla :(

Here a backpacking cat name Kitty. This french couple found this abandonned kitty in Louisiana during their backpacking trip from the Miami, USA to Ushuaia, Argentina.

My little cat ..

7167

I will have to post up some photos of my herd. I have been rescuing cats for ten years. Fix and release was the plan .After we figured out that they wont leave. We started giving them away to good homes. Fixed with shots cost me about 150 dollars a cat. But over the years we have seen a total decline in the number of stray cats in the neighborhood. All told we are up to 87 cats we have fixed/rescued .We still have eight and had to put down at least 10 . Mostly for injury's or leukemia

I still have eight cats and two dogs
three orange tabby s. One is a female .They are very rare

two regular tabby s

one Russan blue one
black and white guy

and one black cat. Out of all of them the black cat "Inky " Is the smartest cat I have ever seen . She is two years old and runs the whole show. Anyone else have a black cat that is exceptional?

Awesome! I especially like how the kitten climbs up on its own at the end. I guess it lets them know when it's gotta go!

It looks like they have an Acer Aspire one also. I plan to ditch mine now that I have an Alienware M11x but it certainly made my cross-country trip with ease.

She looks just like my Ralphie!! :)

The quiz labelled me as a ragdoll as well! :crazybounce:

Our real rag doll, Newton, would be happy to hear it...

http://www.ciurczak.com/photos/3465121_SLsCn-S.jpg

Was going through the site looking for pics & posts about Newton; sadly we just lost him last week at 13.5 years. Feel fortunate that the kids (and us) got to say goodbye before taking him to the vet for the last time; it looked like he had run away to find a quiet place to depart this realm, but somehow he came back a day later with virtually all of his strength fading. Our dog is going to miss his playmate, and I wonder if we have it in us to find another kitten or cat to help him out at some point.

Sorry about the loss of your cat.

Recommendation: don't rush into getting another cat right away. Wait a few months. Let it sink in. New kitten can become a loved family member, but will never replace Newton.

:( Sorry to hear about your loss.

Sorry to hear about your losing a friend and family member :(. I was devastated when I lost my Mummbles (yes, that's the spelling). I had her for 18 years, my entire adult life at that point. I moped around the house for two weeks, feeling like my house was empty. Then I went out and got Mack and Gator. Can't imagine life without my two boys! They rescued me as much as I rescued them.

D.

Sorry to hear about that, Alex. Pets are so great to have, but like a family member it's so tough to see them go :( Hope your family is doing better now.
