We're sorry, but this discussion has just been closed to further replies.
Let's see those beloved kitties! Post a photo, name, and any introductory information you'd like.
These are my guys, Iggy and Smokey (the gray one). They are absolute best friends and frequently spoon one another. They wrestle silently and stand up on their hind legs to fight like dinosaurs.
Sometimes I wonder if my boyfriend and I have stayed together the past three years just because we couldn't bare to split them up.
I love that photo of Iggy and Smokey! Adorable! We've actually got 6 cats. I know, I sound like the Crazy Cat Lady. We've got 2 adult felines, Fred and George, who had their first litters in the summer. Yes, Fred and George are both females. We were given them and the lady who gave them to us told us that they were brothers. Wrong. They were both girls. They both got pregnant around the same time. We've got 4 kittens: Chubby, Buchimgae (one of my Korean students named the kitten), Spike and Trouble.
We've kept Trouble and Spike as indoor kittens and all the others are our barn cats. They do an amazing job keeping our barn pest free and they are so fun to watch. Mama cat (Fred) is an amazing hunter and watching her teach her kittens to stalk their prey is just so fascinating.
The first pic is of Fred (Mama cat) and the second is of Buchimgae. These pics were taken moments after Chance (our doggy) ran outside and scared the cats by mistake. They all get along really well. Chance is actually more scared of the cats than they are of him!!! Anyway, Fred taught her kittens to run up the tree when in danger. It was so cute to see the interaction between mother cat and babies. Okay, I'm signing off before I seriously start to sound like a crazy cat lady! LOL!
She was my husband's cat before we met, and I'm not sure how old she is (she was a rescue cat). She definitely loves him more than she loves me, but I let her get away with more than he does, so I have a place in her heart too.
Uhm... we have 7 kitties ranging in age from 15 to 3. I don't want to hog up a lot of page real estate with pics but you can see them all over on my blog: http://alteredartist.blogs.com/life/2007/09/ww-cats.html. They are all spoiled rotten. We also have 2 dogs and a ferret. Oh and I feed the birds and squirrels.
This is Bunny at 9 weeks. She's about five months old now. We currently have 14, but two are definitely absolutely positively fosters who aren't staying. One is a feral kitten who no one else would want, even though she's adorable...but she's a cat lover, not a people lover. Two are kittens we were raising for someone, but one of them had terrible Irritable Bowel (almost died, had awful cramps and often couldn't make it to the litterbox to poop, so we decided to keep both of them...we changed their food to Wild Kitty raw food, and he's 99.9% fixed, but he's so sweet that we're attached now - the person who was going to take them flaked anyway, like 50% of people who say they want fosters), one was an outdoor cat that we were helping Best Friends rescue and they were going to place her, we just had to catch her...two years ago. She lives in the bathroom (her choice) and is a good mom to foster babies. The rest - all rescues for a variety of reasons, and of course, all unintentional. :)
Frank, Tie, Bing, & Scampi - three siblings & their original foster dad. We got them when they were one day old, and they were our first fosters that we were supposed to bottle feed and then find homes for them. But, uh, they were soooooo cute, and they were our first set, so we couldn't bear to give them up. It may not seem like it, but we have given some up after they were weaned. Until we had these babies, I thought I hated cats. Oops. Now, I think there's nothing better than kittens...and some cats. I have to say, our boys are cuddly and our girls are typical cats who love you when it's convenient for them.
I apologize for hogging picture space. For more pictures, here's a link to my Fickr account.
Hi! My kitties pics are on my NaBloPoMo page. I am sure I will be adding more as the month progresses :-) I only have 2. Chip is a male short hair. Mostly white with patches of grey and black and a gray and black striped tail. He's relatively small since he was the runt of his litter and was born 7/27/06 (we think). He's the neurotic cat. Acts very odd and rarely cat-like. Walks around the house meowing mournfully and hates to be held, but when he 8wants* love, he demands it and he has at least started being more of a lap kitty in the last month or so. Amber is a long haired diva! She is all cat. Purrs like mad, climbs as high as she can, chases anything that moves and loves to be loved. She is also Trouble! Born 10/27/06 which we do know for sure she is so so so a Scorpio!!
Thankfully neither cat is finicky at all about food. Once Chip was fixed his spraying issues disappeared so really they are awesome and easy cats right now. We had to evacuate one night due to the fires in San Diego and they were great.
They are both rescue cats. Danny is ~11 yrs. old and weights around 18-20lbs. Tyler is 4 and pure white with blue eyes (and no, he's not deaf). My husband and I have talked about getting a dog at some point, but I don't think Danny and Tyler will let us.
This is Puffy:
Who is a Greta Garbo cat, especially as he gets older. We have to protect him somewhat from our new kitten, 6 1/2 months:
Who was in terrible shape, was held as evidence in a police case and bounced through three shelters before I found him; I had to call the police to get him sprung, so for his first week, he was "The Fugitive." He's doing great now, has only torn up one shower curtain, broke a plant pot and a lamp. :) We named him Reverend Jim.
We rely on James Bond to keep it all together:
since he's our Supreme Supervisor. I got the kitten partially to be a companion to him, and while this James Bond's middle name is Caution, he still pretends the kitten is a pain in the patootie. But we've caught them sleeping together, and playing together, so the pose is dropping.
