WOW!!! That is most amazing!!!

I have 2 male litter mates who are 5 years old & new to me. One is an orange tabby, the other reminds me of a cremesicle. The tabby is the more loving of the 2 toward me. The cremesicle is friendlier with strangers. They are both polydactyl & are quite dexterous with those opposable thumbs, the cremesicle one much more so than the tabby. I really prefer the tabby, but I never tell the other one that!! I really need to resize some pics to post them here.

Misty has finally calmed down. Apparently being boarded for two weeks was quite the traumatic event for her and she wanted to make sure that I knew it.

Hopefully annoying the hell out of my Mum who now looks after them. They always did their best to be aggravating for the first ten years of their life so I gave them to my Mum for company after my Dad died. I don't think they wholly replace my Dad but Mum does nag them and train them just like she did to my Dad for over 50 years.

They're enjoying tidbits of KFC. I knew they'd be begging non-stop, so brought home a little extra for them.

Panthera joined me and Gaia as we went to the vet's today :)
She was awfully tired all evening, but now she's back to herself..... annoying and doing the things I'd rather dont want to have her to do!

Anyone wants a black kitty? She gets along great with dogs......

it's just a joke!!!!!!

This post made me smile.

Da Boyz is trying to survive the neighbors' fireworks, one of which was so loud it felt like our house was being bombed. They're both avoiding the windowsill tonight. I hope they make it through the weekend!!

I have one that has become a velcro kitty... and she is driving me nuts!

(It is the same one that took a bath in #2 home heating oil last month.)

She has always been a mama's kitty but now she has to be on me!!!

Of course she is clinging to you; you saved her life. How traumatic that experience must have been for her, poor tyke!

Da Boyz has been very playful since I put up a new toy for them last night. It's one of those poles with the dangly toy on the end, the kind that you can go cat-fishing with. They even rolled around for a minute playing with each other!! I uncovered a rubbermaid type plastic tub with a lid on it & that's become Booga's new bed. Pookie's sleeping on their scratching pad. It's finally summer here, even in this basement, so I need to start brushing them. Their fur is everywhere!!!

Booga's my lovey one & he now has a ritual when I go to bed: he comes to bed with me & while I try to get my pills out of their bottles so I can take them, he bumps my hands with his head. Then when I lie down with my book, he bumps the book & my hands. It's annoying, but so cute!! So I yell at him & threaten to beat him severely & he purrs & bumps me some more. Pookie is more stand-offish with me & rarely sleeps with me. Some mornings I wake up unable to move my feet & they are both on the twin size bed with me.

We belled the Doom Cat !

Today we got him a little cat-harness that's black with white paws . Once we were home, i attached a silver bell. One day i hope to find a little skull and cross-bones charm for an ID tag.

Watching the poor little fellow trying to "back out" of the harness was so funny.

He also got a new toy and treats, as did Banshea.

I've had a pretty rough day today & a little while ago I finally realized that all afternoon & evening Booga's been lying on the tile floor under the desk at my feet. For awhile he had himself sort of wrapped up in my long cotton skirt. He gets up now & then to eat or drink a little water, play for a few moments & then he's back on the floor at my feet. He's amazing, my empathic kitteh.

as soon as I can find the cord, I need to DL some pics of Cashie. Sadly, I wasnt fast enough to get the original shots of him discovering that the tall, 'empty' box (with smaller 'empty' boxes nested inside) was a bit of a maze... he ended up doing basically a handstand (tail and back legs flailing wildly as he tried to back up).. however I HAVE gotten a few of him inside it later.. pics of disembodied kitty head poking up from what is a nest of boxes, etc..

it LOOKS a lot cuter than it sounds, IMO.. LOL

The new property manager of our townhome complex is cracking down on pets. According to the CCR's (and city ordinance, too, but no one pays attention to it), all dogs must be leashed when outside and all cats must be under "direct supervision" when outdoors. I am now letting Angel out at night so she is pooped out and will stay inside from 9 A.M. to 3 P.M., the hours that the busybody works. If she's like the last half-dozen property managers that have preceded her, she won't last more than 6 months.

I could just strangle Angel's previous owner with my bare hands for raising her to be an indoor/outdoor cat in this city, then abandoning her like they did. It's not difficult to train a kitten to be indoors only, but it is very difficult to convert an indoor/outdoor cat at age 5 to be strictly indoors. Had she been mine since day one, she would never have set a paw outside to begin with and this problem wouldn't even exist.

Mr. Cat was indoor/outdoor for years. When we moved to a townhouse in San Francisco, there was no yard & no place for him to go outside, so I made him an indoor cat. We lived on the main floor, one floor up from the street & our apartment didn't get direct sunlight, but the stairwell did at certain times of the day. So I would let him out into the stairwell to bask in the sun. Every now & then, he'd forget he was an indoor boy & go to the street door & stare at it in an attempt to get it to open. I'd remind him he was now an indoor cat & you could see his shoulders droop a little & he'd almost sigh & turn around & come back upstairs.

After we moved to a quieter street & had a yard, he got to go back outside. When he got sick with the cancer, he didn't like to go outside by himself, I think because he knew that he couldn't defend himself should he need to. So I would go out & sit with him because he loved the outdoors sooooo much!!

Disclaimer: This was a few decades ago & letting cats outside was a lot more common. I don't let da Boyz out at all.

I've been trying to convert her, but it just breaks my heart to see how much she wants to go outside. She will first brush up against my leg to let me know she'd like out. Then she will meow. Then it will proceed to outright wailing. She has a nice sunny, grassy yard to play in and just doesn't understand these restrictions. I can go out there with her in the evenings that I don't have to go somewhere, but obviously not during the day when I'm working. The irony of all this is that I don't even really believe in the concept of an indoor/outdoor cat myself and have NEVER allowed any cat other than her outside.

She is also extremely quick and sneaky. She has laid in wait for me to come home and open the door, and the second I did, sneaked right on outside past me.

One area I'm going to have to be careful about is the "excessive noise." My neighbor has three outdoor cats (he'd better watch his step, too) that sometimes come into my yard. When one of them comes into Angel's yard, she's been known to chase the cat back into its yard and terrorize it by shrieking at the top of her lungs. It has even disturbed me when I was trying to work and I've had to go outside and put a stop to it. If it annoyed me, it probably annoyed others and the last thing I need is someone reporting her. I removed the feeding dishes from the porch not only because they provided a reason for my neighbor's cats to venture into my yard, but because they're a dead giveaway of an outdoor pet.

She's not the only outdoor cat in the neighborhood and if I can at least keep her indoors during the hours the busybody is working, hopefully she can "fly under the radar." If this property manager is like the last half-dozen others, she won't last 6 months. None of the others seemed particularly concerned about this.
