I'd be more worried that she seems to have a thing for Gordon Brown... :-X
-
Or Nee-ko-Lah Saar-ko-zeeeee? ;D ;D
Mind you it is a Scottish cat so it probably likes Gordon Brown. I suppose somebody has to.
-
Nah, about 5 mins earlier she was all over the bloke from BA looking all embarrassed over the T5 fiasco. She's a bit of a tv whore it would appear....
She was all over Jon Snow too. :-*

At least it proves your house is "cat friendly". ;)
As regards TV watching cats, on one occasion my parents old cat spotted a mouse being shown on a TV programme, and at some point the mouse ran behind something. The cat immediately ran behind the TV, to look for it!

This is exactly what started Pippin off. She saw a mouse in a badger sett on the programme rcently on tv about badgers. Ever since then she has been watching any old crap!
-
I think she's waiting for the mouse to reappear.

I'm pleased this thread has been started here. I've always loved this thread and would often scroll through it on days when I needed chearing up.

That's our Small Fat Cat, who is now decidedly middle-aged but doesn't seem to have realised she isn't still a small kitten. She runs around, squeaking frantically and being silly, and then collapses in a heap to sleep for about 8 hours solid.

Nacho lies on a pile of old carpets looking nonchalant whilst Templeton (neighbour's cat) sits in the background.
It's funny how Nacho doesn't give two hoots about Templeton or his sister Poitier being on his turf, whilst he launches himself at any other cat that comes in the garden. It's maybe because he has known them since they were kittens and has established himself firmly as "the boss". Or maybe he can't take them seriously because of their silly names...

I'm supposed to get a urine sample from Twist, so I emptied the packet of beads into a small tray and placed it on the floor near him.
A few minutes later he moved into the tray, curled up & went to sleep, much like Boushti.

Ms P just found a picture of Boushti when we first got him. There was a vet living downstairs and she locked herself out of her flat, we couldn't contact the landlord so she stayed on our sofa for a night. She had a cat in the back of her van which she had rescued from somewhere- I think his owner had died. He got his new name the instant he put his head outta the cat carrier (it's sort of back slang, from p'tit bou). He was still with us a couple days later, I eventually worked out that we'd adopted him.
He's a lot furrier, and somewhat fatter, now. It is mostly fur tho'.

This (http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c212/clifftaylor/cat%201/cat2006.jpg) just in from the local cat protection establishment :)
He's about 3 years old, described as a stray, and was very nervous when he first arrived at Taylor Towers, hiding behind the sofa for the first 24 hours, but is gradually settling down.
He was named "Cliff" by the Cat People, so one of us will have to change....

He looks like a slimmer version of our "Kismet". My dad was taking one of our other animals to the vet and they had found a beautiful tortoishell abandoned in a box on the doorstep. Holiday season, said the vet. So she came home and has been stealing food ever since!

Owner unable or couldn't be arsed ( >:( ) brushing the cat.

\My sister in law has a persian cat that gets shaved every so often. They do groom her religiously but Persian cat hair apparently carries on growing so has to be kept at bay. Shaving is a kindness rather than cruel in this case. IANAV (vet) so may of course be totally wrong on this, though it's their vet friend who does the shaving.

Apparently something about the heat.

A friend of mine took these up in the midlands somehwhere. Granted they is big but they're still cats and loverable.

Very impressive shots. :thumbsup:
I'm always amazed how often the look and behaviour of big cats seems so similar to domestic cats, the mannerisms; washing, scratching, interactions with other cats. You can almost see them as a domestic cat just scaled up a bit.
Nevertheless, there's no way I'm going to scratch one of that lot under the chin or behind the ears. ;D

LOL, no I don't think so. For all that Craig Busch has a lot of familiarity with big cats, and how to behave with them, he has still been badly mauled on a couple of occasions. Even domestic cats can decide that they've had enough and give you a warning swipe or bite, the same from three hundred pounds of Bengal is likely to leave your head ringing!

Talisker Clive W (was Talisker Clive O), on holiday for a couple of weeks at Chez TimO. He's inspected most of the rooms, checked out the cat litter (hurling a good portion across the room in the process), tested out all food and drink that's available, and decided that halfway up the stairs is a good place to guard the house.
Whether he'll be happy being cooped up here for a couple of weeks is another thing, but since the alternative would have been a cage in a cattery, he shouldn't complain... yeah right. ;D
Being a totally black cat, he is of course damned near impossible to get a good photo of, since the cameras autofocus refuses to admit he exists. :-\

Get him drunk and stationary (see above) and focus on a nearby object.
The first weekend with our profoundly deaf pure white English short hair thing, he drank half a glass of a decent minor Burgundy. He was drunk, and not very stationary. Manic, in fact. He was impossibly curious, kept on wrapping himself around my shoulders like a living fur accessory, before being neatly sick in his earth tray.
He sensibly drank lots of water before he went to bed.

Cat sitting Talisker for a couple of weeks is bad enough, although that's mainly because he's getting progressively more annoyed with not being let out. :(

Biff is on the right here i should have made it clear,they both have a tabby back but smudge has a big white smudge on her back.She is very nosy and determined he is typical male follows on behind ,however when one of the neighbours cats came into the garden he was straight to the fore puffing his little self out as big as pos and basically staring the invader out whilst she hid behind me.He is already a good bit bigger than his sis.Because they are so alike when they sleep or fight curled up together you cant tell where one starts and the other ends.

This is my friend's cat, his name is Vlad!
Vlad has a bag habit. He knows it, we know it. He likes to climb inside them, much to my disapproval.
He also on occasion sticks his head through one of the handles and runs around, wearing it as a cape, super hero stylee.
Here is a demonstration!
About to take flight, SUPER VLAD!! If he's not careful I'll embarrass him and source a Halloween costume.

This sort of thing worries me a bit, since I've had to leave Tali alone locked in at home, so when he gets bored I assume he wanders around the house looking for things to poke his head into, literally. I've put all the plastic bags I've found aside, so he can't do this, but after many years of reading warnings about keeping plastic bags away from small children, I'm getting paranoid. :-\
Vlad looks a lot like Tali, even down to the reflective collar! He also appears to be about as stupid. ;D

Must be a cat thing, Lord Dashworth does the same thing, now the plastic bags hang on a hook halfway up the back door for just this reason....
-
I think it's a "I must poke my nose into this bag on the off chance there's some food in there" thing, even though he's never found anything edible in one yet. It doesn't seem to stop him from trying whenever I come in from shopping though.

Cats love bags and boxes. My friend caught her 4 yr old dragging a bag behind her, as they were about the leave the house to go to the beach. Once she had extracted the bag from 4 yr old's hands, she found it contain a purring cat, who was seemingly happy to be dragged around in said bag.
The 4 yr old claimed to have found the cat in the garden.

Altogether now; Ahhhhhh.
Little black furry cuteness. Tali must have looked like that once, but we had him as a pre-owned adult cat, so never saw him as a kitten. He's not half as cute now!
-
Oh yes, he's a true black ball of furry cuteness... His eyes are starting to change colour with slight green undertones.
He's now litter trained too. Phew, what a relief. After 5 days I was starting to get a bit concerned that he might still need to be lifted to his tray by the time my wife and daughters come back from Japan on 2nd September.
Our mature 6 year-old ginger cat box is not impressed but is not holding a grudge against me. He sniffs about and when he catches sight of the little one he rushes off with a disappointed look.
Here is Box keeping his tummy warm on the laptop:

He was half her size then, but he's much bigger than her now. I think he also won a champion award equivalent when he was a kitten, but I don't think this counts once they become adults.
She stopped showing them, when Bubbles had got two black marks for scratching or biting a judge (or something like that). If she gets a third, she is then banned from any further shows! ;D
This is him by himself, and slightly more upright.

Well dur ::-) there is no way according to the Unwritten Rules of Cat that he could acknowledge that you had the idea and built it for him.

A regular visitor to the garden. Known only as 'the Kitten' given he/she started visiting when very young. Our cat, who is normally a big girl's blouse, only chases this one out of the garden. Very odd behaviour.
What is that contraption you are pointing at me? Hmmm?

TimO, I wish I had a picture of my Bagpuss. I battled for more than a decade to keep him off my sofa. He was stripey and ginger, king of the block, and the Cassina Le Corbusier thing was his favourite nest.
Find cat on sofa, remove cat to a place four floors above, and he would be back on the sofa, pretending to be asleep, faster than I could run down the stairs!
So a cat that spent his evenings in Tesco (all the staff knew him) came home to hog a sofa that cost more than a family car.
-
I've got no chance of keeping him off of the sofa, he's got the entire day when I'm not around to make the best of it, although I guess I could close some doors and try and limit his wandering, although a closed door is anathema to a cat!
The sofa does exceed the value of my car though, which isn't actually saying much.

Awwwh!

after that, can you tell us a bit about the cat?
-
It's female, about 12 weeks old, and as yet still called 'Cat' - It's so small it curled up on a video case and fell a sleep yesterday. Fetched it on xmas eve, it slept all day untill we got into bed and turned the lights out then it started crying (think we should call it 'Durex'?).
We got it because no.2 son, who when asked what he wanted for xmas just said 'another cat'.
There was an advert in last weeks local paper 'kittens free to good home'. It was 1 of 4 and I think we 'rescued' it from a crazy cat lady in the dirtiest house I've ever seen. There were about 15-20 cats running around the place including feral cats who she said had just set up home there and she'd never been able to pet them. One of the toms was trying to get the mother of the kittens pregnant again. The place stunk, there was cat shit under the table and in the corner, half eaten dead animals that the cats had brought in. The chickens that were in the yard obviously slept in the conservatory from the amount of feathers and sh1t we had to walk across to get into the house.

Cat claws and leather sofas?
The Horror, The Horror!
Tell me about it, but ordering my sofa and it arriving, overlapped with acquiring Talisker. Luckily he hasn't done any (significant) damage yet.
-
Hazel our cat is not a furniture scratched unlike the cats we have had before. We have had a leather sofa for two years and she hadn't touched it until a couple of weeks ago when Pcolbeck junior startled her when she was half asleep and she attempted to jump from the floor onto the sofa arm, screwed it up and then used her claws to stop herself falling back down. Lovely big scratches and a couple of puncture holes in it now. Oh well its only furniture.
-
Leather, and suede to some extent, is a really good non-clawable fabric. Our last sofa and armchair which were covered in a velour type fabric were in shreds after our kittens discovered their delights (preferred to their scratch post, of course). We got a new sofa in a sort of heavy duty suedette (horrible term, sorry, but it's not real suede) which they haven't touched because they can't get any purchase on it. Ditto the leather armchair. :thumbsup:
The carpets are in a right old state though. :'( ;D
-
I think certain materials feel more scratchable to cats, especially anything rough, which they can get a good purchase on. The scratching posts and boards you can buy have a particularly rough and uncomfortable surface, but the cats love it for cleaning their claws on.
Talisker doesn't particularly scratch the leather sofa, but there are a couple of small groups of holes which are suggestive of him having an unsteady moment, and having to use his ground anchors. ;D
What he really loves is the corner of a cardboard box, there are a few (from the house move, which I've almost finished unpacking... Aham...) which have been shredded by him.
-
My Nelly didn't touch the leather sofa, she just jump up and snuggle up, not a single claw mark on it.

Hazel is pretty good and only uses her scratching post or anything made of wicker (the washing basket and a couple of wicker storage boxes we have). If she is cross that you aren't doing what she wants (feeding her on demand or opening a door quick enough) she will have a go at the carpet though.

Talisker playing with a plastic ball containing cat treats. The idea is that you keep your cat amused, and limit his eating, by putting any treats inside the ball, and adjust the hole size so it takes some effort to get the snacks out.
Talisker, it turns out, is very good at doing this. He emptied it almost as fast as he could eat each munchy which he got out!

Fcuk me! Is that a microwave?!
Yup, Kafe was the cat who left home to live with my mother; mum had a black laborador as well, the cat learned to beg because she saw the dog doing so and getting fed, realised there was food to be had and tried it herself. She then sussed that hoovering crumbs also worked and one day mum wandered into the kitchen and found the cat cleaning out the microwave.
Kafe was about 2 years old in that picture, she died in 2006 aged 17 so it obviously didn't do her much harm.
I would also like to point out that when she lived with us she was called Kafer, mum embellished it to Kaypher, way more letters than is strictly neccessary.

That belly looks like it needs a rub :D

And we are able to oblige these days.
I don't know what happened to him prior to arriving at the Cats Protection place, but belly rubbing was a very risky undertaking until maybe two months ago - he's been at Taylor Towers for about eight months, and is only now able to relax properly with us - in fact the general level of eating and sleeping is such that we may have to change his name from "Max" to "Mr Tubby" :D
-
...in fact the general level of eating and sleeping is such that we may have to change his name from "Max" to "Mr Tubby" :D
Talisker is also on for the Mr Tubby award, having put on 1kg over the last 3 months (44% increase in body weight!) I'm hoping that with the warmer weather, he'll spend more time outdoors hunting, and generally decimating the local population of anything smaller than him. :-\ At least he should burn off some of the fuel, and hopefully won't replace that with more energy from the additional food he gains.
-
Could I just mention: Tiggy. 42 confirmed kills. Yes that's right… 42 mice in the last two years. There must be some kind of 'mouse shop' in somebody's garden near us, and we live in a town.
(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b176/Riggers_1956/Tiggy-action.jpg)
-
Very fluffy. :thumbsup:
I know Talisker hunts, and succeeds, but I've only ever once seen him with anything. That was one afternoon when it suddenly started to rain, and there was thud-a-thud-a-thud as the cat flap went at some speed, and Talisker appeared with a mouth full of something, saw that the house wasn't unoccupied, and immediately turned and went back out again.
He has also been seen with a squirrel by others, and there have been occasional amounts of feathers in the back garden indicating the demise of something that once flew.
42 confirmed isn't bad, but does have a way to go to catch up with the world record holder, which was for over 3 mice a day (plus other beasties) on average, for almost 24 years. :o

Talisker being disdainful about n+1, although I think it's mainly because he wandered out to see what I was doing, and has just realised how wet it actually is!

Sadly Tim, there was also a 'robin' to add to the list from last week, but fortunately it's mice that seems to occupy her.
-
He has also been seen with a squirrel by others
That is quite remarkable for a cat, especially one in an urban environment where it can't get a squirrel some distance from the nearest tree etc.
-
...and this was only a short while before he was started on the Hyperthyroidism therapy, so was underweight, suffering from a heart murmer, and gods know what else probably making him feel ill.
Now he's back on form, the local rodent and bird population is possibly in for a hard time. :-\

A couple of years ago, I saw a bush thrashing about in the Garden. Then Spyro emerged at high speed with squirrel in his mouth. I went out in a rescue attempt, and he dropped the squirrel - who then bled to death from his throat while I watched.
He'll play with little stuff - something bigger that can fight back gets its throat bit - hard!
I found a dead rat in the garden on Sunday - not sure if Spyro had it, or if it just died there. The "just died" theory sounds unlikely though.
I can't imagine the pandemonium that'll take place if he ever manages to get a live rat into the house. The girly screeching that goes on when he brings a mouse in is bad enough.

He's not quite as prolific as Towser (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4388043.stm).
-
30,000!
Who keeps a tally of that?!
-
Easy, you just chuck them onto a set of scales, and when it reaches half a tonne, you've got 30000 mice (assuming an average weight of 17g).
;D
-
I had to post this, since it made me chuckle. Talisker is basically on guard duty. I've noticed that other cats will squirm under the side gate and wander past the house to get to the back gardens. Talisker has obviously noticed this as well, and this is the first time I've seen him perched here, where he can obviously spot them, and launch an attack!

Awesome!
Sgt Talisker at his post: alert, ears pointing in the right direction, not smoking on duty, good use of cover, good field of vision - top marks!

… superbly camouflaged too!

I shall go and whitewash him immediately. ;D

Nah! You need to build him a sangar up there. That would be AWESOME! AWWWWWWW-SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMM!!!!
Ahem. Er, carry on chaps, normal service resumed. :-[
-
Nah, he needs something a bit more formal, how about a guard box like this:
(http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/guardbox.jpg)
I don't think he's going to like the uniform though, and to be fair, he doesn't really need a Bearskin, he's already black and fluffy. ;D

The lack of opposable thumbs may make firearms use a bit problematic.

Just joined this forum. Here are two pictures of the two kittens i will get in three weeks. Can wait till I have them.

"C'mon lads, push harder! One more heave should have her over the edge!!"
-
Hang on, are those the same kittens? ;D
The top picture seems to show one black and ginger, and the other brownish. Whereas the bottom shot has two all gingers, one black & white, and one grey.
Am I getting the colours mixed around (like the kittens!) in the top shot?
-
They are the same kittens, the colours in the top picture are not very good.
-
The black and white one is a guinea pig isn't it?

Talisker, two or three years ago, when he was on holiday at a previous Chez TimO, before I took him on full time, and before he got seriously into running up bills at the vets.

How was that possibly comfy? It's not a soft bag, it's hard, lumpy, generally uncomfortable to lie on (I guess, I've never tried). The carpet by itself would have to be easier. Presumably he did it since he's a cat, and they are required to sleep on things that you've foolishly left lying about!

Hello Charlie. He looks like he is still enjoying
life sleeping all day :thumbsup:
Until I met Mrs Noodley I had never had pets other than fish and budgies.....when we started to 'go out' she had 2 Siamese, a seal point and a tabby point. The Seal Point attacked me at every opportunity, and the Tabby and I got on great.....then when the Seal started to get older and got ill he 'warmed' to me and we became best friends. The Seal point died about 6 years ago and the Tabby, who I still think about as being in the house sometimes, died last year.
We now have Rosie, Ollie and Angus and they are 'part of the family'. I love them to bits.
I am most usually a placid person, but I do get a bit 'heated' when someone gets a bit 'anti cat'...

Montezuma hasn't been well of late. The vet reckons that he's got thyroid problems, so he's on medication now. Which, it has to be said, has perked him up a right treat.

Another addition to the Noodley household arrived last weekend. He is called Jock, or Big Jock (he is only 10 days older than Angus, but is the size of an adult), or Kinky Jock (he has a kink in his tail)

Kinky Jock (he has a kink in his tail)
There's an ancient tale from Siam to how the kitteh got a kink in its tail.
The Princess took her rings off while bathing and placed them on the Siamese kittehs tail
so they wouldn't get lost.
To make sure he didn't lose them the kitteh kinked the end of his tail.
Blah, blah...

Thanks to a chap called Sam over on Cyclechat, there's a new owner in the Shifty household:

Bonington isn't exactly a fan yet, but she'll adapt in due course.

very cute, I'm sure Bonington will come round in a wee while. Try a hot water bottle with them, they'll soon become pals then!

This is the pub cat at the Jenyn Arms, on Regs Ride to Regicide yesterday. The little furry bugger kept on looking away just as I took a shot!

He (she?) seemed quite chatty, but wasn't willing to come down and say hello, possibly because of the Cockerel who was wandering about!

Mikey, a neighbours cat.

Mikey looks like a splendid chap indeed.
-
He knows he is! ;D
-
This is 'Cyril'. He has taken to sleeping in our flower trough.
(http://www.alfiecat.co.uk/yetacf/cyril.jpg)
We call him Cyril because we can't remember his real name. He is the neighbour's roof-climbing cat.

These are three of the cats at Gastrobiking (there used to be two, now there are four)

Not quite your normal "cute kitty" shot. ;D
I'd just woken him up from yesterdays favourite snoozing location, on top of the tumble drier, and he needed a stretch and yawn.

We lost one of our cats last weekend, killed by a car about a mile from home.
We miss her terribly and it's been a hard week, but happy memories are replacing the sadness. So I thought I should post a pic of Rosie here, in one of her favourite places snuggled up on warm towels just out of the tumble drier:

fabulous! Alfie or Bea? (My bet is on Alfie...)
And what about the ickle baby kitteh? Have you chosen?
-
'tis Alfie, enjoying the sun and someone being at home.
We are going to have the brown one, unless we like the chocolate one better, or perhaps... :P
My sister's second cat is dying slowly, that's 3 weeks after her first one died at 19. (The 2nd one is Alfie's son and half-brother...)
I think we'll give her the choice of kitteh, because of that.

Alfred Hitchcock Kitteh.

Mikey, a neighbours cat.

Mikey looks right dead proud and chuffed.
And so he should be... he's easily the fastest neighbourhood cat, and can
easily overtake all the other cats.
Mikey freely invites you to follow all of his "kills" on YouTube.

Here's Ozzy now he's grown up. He is a beautiful and extremely soft cat who lets you pick him up, turn him over and tickle his tummy. A complete softy.

-
I've just been hunting for the kitten photos that you posted, before I realised that you must have posted them on ACF rather than here, so we can't make a direct comparison.
Talisker also doesn't really like being picked up like most cats. I've only had him since he was one or so, and he was like that from the start, so it's probably how he was treated as a kitten. He does however tolerate being picked up like a baby, and as you say, having his tummy tickled. ;D
He is also a total softy. A cattery I used before moving to London said that he was the most relaxed cat that they had ever met!
-
Here he is as a baby - he's huge now! The first and last photo are with his sister, Cindy, who was killed earlier this year by a car.

The reason why you shouldn't leave a rack pack, open, on the kitchen floor.
(http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/TaliskerRackPack_Thumb480.jpg) (http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/TaliskerRackPack.jpg)
I wouldn't have thought he would fit in it, I've certainly never tried to get anything as big as him in, although I haven't tried zipping it up with a Talisker as it's cargo. I suspect it would be a bit tight, not to mention sharp teethed and clawy. ;D

I wish I had a camera. I have been cat-sitting!
He's a small and lithe 17yr old, and profoundly deaf. He is very, very vocal, likes eye contact, and will search out every opportunity to give affectionate head-butts. This means some strange positioning antics as he finds some useful high point to either look at you, or get onto your shoulder.
He really, really has to be at eye level, or as near as damn it.
He also seems to like my ears.

Our Ol has taken to doing this as well. I think that as he's getting older he's finding it harder to fully-retract his claws. He just hangs there looking guilty until disentangled...
We trimmed his claws after that so hopefully he should be alright for another couple of weeks, until he gets stuck on one of my tops anyway....

Talisker tends to get stuck on my dressing gown, but it's an advantage when I need to give him his pill first thing.
- Grab cat.
- Invert cat.
- Cat struggles and get paws caught in dressing gown.
- Give cat pill.
- Disengage claws.
- Plonk cat down for his breakfast.

My lovely wee Angus, put to sleep today aged only 9 months.
I miss him.
:'( :'(
-
Oh no !
Poor lad.
-
Oh no, not another one! :(
What happened Noodley?
-
Very sad. :'( What a beauty.
-
Oh no, not another one! :(
What happened Noodley?
We took him to the vets yesterday as he was not himself and at that stage the vet thought it was gastroenteritis and put him on a drip for a few hours. He came home in the evening but took a turn for the worse so went back again today. The vet then thought it might be a liver shunt so we were preparing for a trip to the Dick Vet in Edinburgh for intensive care and hopefully an operation....but after a few more tests it became apparent he had Feline Infectious Peritonitis.
He was spent. And we owed it to him to spare him any suffering.
He purred when we gave him a cuddle when we were saying goodbye... :'(
I'm not taking it too well. Sorry.
-
Poor wee thing.
And don't feel bad about having a wee cry.
-
I'm so sorry to hear that, Noodley.
You did the right things, of course, and he was loved and cared for all his life - especially at the end. It's probably the lost important thing we can do for them.
Take care.
-
I'm not taking it too well. Sorry.
There is no reason why you should be either of those things.
-
Oh Noodley - I'm so sorry to hear the sad news :(
Since we lost Monty, I've been a stranger to this thread for a while. I just popped in to post a pic of the Pikes' cats Emmie and Ethel, who are staying with us at the moment. They've been making it awfully clear where they feel the most comfortable having a snooze:

:'( :'(
-
:'( :'(
I'm wondering how long it'll take me to run out of tears...that's over 7 hours now. :'(
He was so young and such a character....it's so unfair.
Apologies for my sharing my grief. :-[ I appreciate all your replies.
-
Oh Noodley, that's just awful. Poor little cat. That seems so desperately unfair.
-
That's really rotten Noodley, but obviously you did the right thing, and he certainly had a good time whilst he was with you. :(
-
Noodley,
We're all so sorry - horrid thing to happen at the festive time - or any time for that matter.
Try to remember the good things about him and cuddle the remaining ones - LOTS
We're thinking about you all.
Paul
-
Sorry to hear that Noodley. That's awfully sad :'(.
-
No need to apologise..... hugs from all of us here.
-
Thanks again everyone for your kind thoughts and words. It is really appreciated.
-
It was surely the kindest way. We had a young cat (Jack) that caught FIP in his 1st year but the vet's didn't diagnose it soon enough and the poor creature kept having fits. It's a dreadful thing to see a cat suffering a fit and we'd much rather he'd been spared the ordeal.
His half-brother, Vinnie,
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t51/asorim1/Re-roofing/SDC11171.jpg)
is still alive and well despite having been hit by a car over 6 years ago.

I'm sorry to hear that Noodly :(

I got a new lens for chrimbo, so finally I have something with a big enough aperture to cope with black cats indoors, with no flash, and therefore no 'hypno-eyes'.

Aye, been through it ourselves a few times, but never with such a young beautiful boy as yours. Ours are mostly old codgers from various rescue charities (Dee Carrick from Siamese Rescue and Cats Protection).
You're not alone and it never gets any easier.

Ours are mostly old codgers from various rescue charities (Dee Carrick from Siamese Rescue and Cats Protection).
We had just about got over Rosie's death from a few month's ago when she was killed on the road, and I was thinking we should get another Siamese as it is the first time me and Mrs Noodley have not had a Siamese in all the time we have been together. But Mrs Noodley was still not ready for another one.
There are a couple of Siamese looking for rescue homes, but this has thrown us big time. Mrs Noodley has declared "no more pets" such is the pain....
He was so young. Our previous Siamese had been with us for years (Booboo was 12 when he died and Hamish was 16) and to have 2 friends taken away in such a short time is really hard. We still have Ollie and Jock and they are much loved....
-
The young ones get you in a different way to the old ones. With the old ones you miss the seasoned campaigner, the mumbling purr-snore, the comforting chat by the fire, the routine and the slightly crusty eyes. With the young ones you lose the spark in the eye, the flash of a sharp claw and the wide eyed innocence.

His first trip out ever. I don't think he'll be pining to go out again for a while!
-
Cats in snow can be funny, my parents cat would wait until she was near exploding, and then carefully walk up the garden, putting her rear paws in the same holes that her front paws had made, so as to minimise contact with the cold white stuff. She'd pretty much follow the same footprints back down the garden on her return from her "ablutions".
Talisker's cat flap was snowed in last year:
(http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/Snow_2009-02-02_CatFlap_350.jpg)
and he was decidedly unimpressed with the snow.
We haven't had so much snow dumped on us this year (so far), but he's avoided going out regardless!
-
Mmm
We have a litter tray for Small Cat, who is pretty-much an indoors cat, and Big Cat has always made his own arrangements, involving shrubberies
BC was very ill last year and we gave him his own tray for a while, but once he was better he started going outside again. but the combination of he Landlord's gardener cutting back all the bushes in the back garden and the cold weather has seen him quide liderally squatting in his sister's litter tray
Since he does much smellier poos and wees than she does, this is Not Good.

(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4324500121_d734042478.jpg)
George looks somewhat like Milo (same colour) but this is not by design - we went to the breeder's house to meet a different cat, but ended up falling in love with this cheeky chappie.
Bertie was less than impressed to start with, but as you can see, has come round to the idea of having a new pal.
Sorry for the crap pic - taken on my blackberry as my camera is elsewhere, unreachable (curses).
-
Awwh, that's nice. Which is which?
-
George is the small blue (grey) one, and Bertie is chocolate.
Milo (deceased) is in my profile pic - you can see the similarity with George.
-
Hug him and squeeze him. Indeedy doody. :thumbsup:
-
Oh yes, I never noticed your profile pic (blind!). They're both lovely :)
-
For some reason I don't think I ever posted these pictures here, I think it was over at the other place. The small cat is Marmaduke, and the bigger one is his half sister Bubbles. They are my sisters cats, I don't think Talisker would stand a chance with these two around, they're both bigger and heavier than him.

Marmaduke is actually much bigger than his half siblings these days, they are both hulking great big British Blue Shorthairs.

This is Marmaduke last year, somewhat more grown up:

Oh poor kitty with no nose :(
-
This is Milly, she lives many many miles away from Noodley Towers and we have never met her - so it's fairly gratuitous that I have posted her pic:
(http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/jdfyfe/Millie.jpg)
One thing about Milly is that she currently has a few kitteh-shaped objects wriggling inside her....in three or so weeks they are due to pop out to say hello, and one of them may just be the next addition to the Noodley family :thumbsup:
I'll post gratuitous kitteh pics as we go....

She's lovely! :thumbsup:

Awwh :(
It's just a chunk of her nose then, from the picture the other night I thought it had all gone.
The plan was to remove the entire nose, but once she was anaesthetised a problem became evident with her lungs and the vet was reluctant to take the whole nasal area while she had breathing difficulties. Since the leision was off to one side he took that side off, but we have to wait for the path lab results to see if he got the entire tumour. She may yet have to lose moar nose. ::-)

Do they think it's sun - related?

Yes, very cute pictures. Hilary looks a lot like Talisker, and even has a matching red collar (until he looses his current one).
I haven't seen much of Talisker today, and what I have seen was him asleep in the back garden. When he's come in, his black fur is very hot, so he's obviously been sun bathing a lot! "Cat things" in this weather seems to be mostly sleeping.

Yes, he is! Still has big feet so there is a bit of growing to do I think. He loves his tummy tickled so he is a bit of a tart.

He does cute very well as he has massive eyes (think Puss in Boots from Shrek), so no one ever believes that he is actually a very naughty cat.

This is Mikey, the intrepid cat.
Mikey goes for walks with his owners, and I think he has graced these pages before. Here he is today on a walk to the sea.
On a car at the car park.

On the way home.

Did he go to the beach in the car with his owners, or did they walk from their house? Either way, that's great :thumbsup:
My much adored cat Sam used to come on walks round our (largeish - 3 acres) garden and surrounding fields when I was growing up, but nothing quite like that!
-
They walked from the house. The car was in the way in the car park so he just climbed over it. ;D

Following on from this
R.I.P Oliver (http://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=33292.msg685109#msg685109)
we now have a pair of cute kittens :)
(http://www.bosphorus.f2s.com/kittypics/1.jpg)
Tam
(http://www.bosphorus.f2s.com/kittypics/3.jpg)
Daisy
(http://www.bosphorus.f2s.com/kittypics/12.jpg)
They seem to love each other :)
Tam likes his food and although we haven't told him it's unofficially short for Tamworth - because he's a little ginger piggy
Daisy is alternatively known as Blodeuwedd, because sometimes she has the aspect of an owl, sometimes flowers...
-
Those two both look like trouble on four paws!
That shot of Daisy especially, it looks like she's planning something. :)
-
Those two both look like trouble on four paws!
They're very sweet actually. Found with their mum & two litter mates living in the trunk of an ancient yew near Newport. They were seriously socialised by someone who knew her onions when they were tiny (they're about 10 weeks now; we've had them a week) and as a result they love being handled and purr if you look at them :)
Tam's brother was even bigger, and Tam's a big chap already.
edit: I think they're both going to be fearsome hunters though...
edit2: living in a rented barn of a place with old tatty furniture (pending buying somewhere and replacing chairs, sofa etc) it's an ideal time to have kittens - and post Mille Cymru I'm around to look after them in the day (mostly)
-
:)
-
Daisy looks just like our cat Hazel did at her age. Same evil stare. Torties are usually good hunters. Our little one certainly is.
-
The orange one looks completely mental!!
-
My cat likes to sleep in boxes....

Took me a moment to realise that that was one long cat folded in half...
-
Big old world out there, apparently
Too young to go outside yet, I would imagine?
-
Yes
They need another set of injections and, probably, neutering
There's foxes & stoats & buzzards 'n' stuff in our garden so they need to be a fair bit bigger
Plus they got freaked out when they found the lounge, so it's early days yet

(http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff128/shifty176/garden/IMGP1455.jpg)
¾ unknown, ¼ Bengal. He has inherited The Voice, and the temperament, and hidden in the coat are fine black tiger stripes, but they're only visible in the sunshine. He's lovely, and even Bonz seems to quite like him.

A hernia sorted and six teeth out later she's much happier.
It's her second hernia repair as she was pretty banged up and has a pinned knee from her previous life, the scar is just behind her new stitches.
A large box of chocolates and thankyou card were needed for the vets and nurses as she wasn't a very good patient and has dissolving external stitches to help prevent further human blood letting.

Pootle the tom kitten. He is the largest of the kittens and almost totally grey apart from three white hairs on his back.

I very nearly ran this slow worm over with my bike in the hall tonight. It appears unhurt and all Kiri who must have brought it in wants to do is stare lovingly at it. The cats were most put out when I carted it outside and then locked their cat flap though!

My cats are very obsessed with long stringy things so I think they like the way slow worms move.
Kiri is a very strange cat anyway, she has a thing for my daughters hair bands and every morning we find she has brought several of them downstairs and there are some in her food bowl and some in her water. Natalie tried to hide them from her with limited success. She has also been known to catch a mouse and put it dead but uneaten in her food bowl ???

Put an old sack on the ground and water it occasionally. That will encourage the slugs. The slow worms will soon find them and will be glad of the sack to hide under while they munch on the slugs.

Also put down something for them to bask under - a small sheet of metal or black tile, something that warms up in the sun. Slow worms are protected under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, so if you can encourage them it might help slow down the decrease in numbers. :thumbsup:
They're lizards, so if you do find a living one that a cat has brought in be careful how you pick it up. They shed their tails to deter predators so you could end up with a handful of tail, no slow worm, and lots of blood!

Talisker went out on Tuesday, to deal with an urgent problem, but decided that he didn't like this white stuff at all, came back inside, and hasn't gone out again since. Luckily he's got an electric litter tray, since I don't let him out at night any more, so he's been using that under duress.
-
In the worst weather I sometimes find to my horror that Kiri and Rico have nominated some soft absorbant surface of the house as their temporary toilet. Last winter the spare bed got awarded this special status ::-)
-
We only got the cat flap working this week, so the kittens have been using a litter tray until now. Despite frozen ground, they are transitioning to outside doings and the litter tray is being far less used :thumbsup:
I hate having a litter tray in the house.

yeah i hate it too, my guys are inherantly lazy and if I supply a litter tray they both use it for all of their needs. They have 2 flaps one in the front door and one in the back so they don't have to walk round to get in, but they don't like getting wet or cold feet!
They prefer to spend the cold weather in their electric heated bed :facepalm:

Talisker is as lazy as any cat, but doesn't seem to be that keen on using a litter tray, if he can possibly avoid it.
-
I like the electric bed! I bought one of the radiator hanging beds, like in Jadeds picture, at a car boot maybe five years ago and it's only in the last month that it's started being used.
It was up in the old house unused for nearly three years and I still put it up here. Glad I kept it as she's hardly ever out of there. She did get in before the cold snap arrived so maybe she's a good long range forecaster.
No pics I'm afraid as I've still lost my camera.
-
I bought the electric bed (it is actually an aluminium pad with an armoured cable that goes inside the bed) for them when they were kittens, fully intending to only use it for the first few weeks. However on the odd occasion I have unplugged it I get filthy looks and sad kitties. They are 4 years old now and it is always switched on ;D

We had a similar problem with the light (probably a 100W incandescent) in the cupboard under my parents' stairs, which accidentally got left on one time. We eventually discovered this about a week later, after failing to correlate the lamp's position with one of the cats adopting a certain step as her new favourite snoozing place. We had assumed it was simply her finely-tuned cat instinct for sitting in really awkward places. :facepalm:

A Burmese is basically a needier, louder Siamese. And the Burmese live *forever* domestically, compared to some other mogs (late 20s not unknown). I only know this as a friend took in a Burmese aged about 16 thinking it was a short gig. Cat Longevity Fail.
-

Yeah, but by then they'll be both hungry and furious, so guaranteed to win the noisy cat competition.
While I grew up with and have known various Siamese cats (who were all fairly loud, though had vastly different levels of assertiveness), I've only really met one Burmese, who wasn't especially vocal. He was however utterly enormous and had the most spectacular resonant purr. It was like having a big warm cuddly motorbike on your lap, or something.

Talisker doesn't have any Burmese in him, as far as I know, he's just a bog standard totally black domestic short hair, but he does purr for England, and is one of the loudest purrers I've ever known.
He also seems to be very chatty for a dsh, he'll chirrup, meow, and very occasionally yowl greetings, warning, and demands. You can have a conversation with him, so long as you don't expect to understand anything he says and are willing to reply "Meow" to all. ;D

I don't own a cat, but I think Part-Time (my chosen name for her on account of her total lack of fidelity) probably owns me.
This is her a short while ago, checking out the comfort factor of my kitchen chairs. Usually, she homes-in on wherever the central heating pipes cross beneath the floorboards.
No loyalty. None whatsoever. I never see her between April and November.

I had my frame on the bed for general coveting reasons (no, before anyone asks I don't actually sleep with my frame) and it seems Rico is also pretty impressed with it. The rear triangle is his new nest for the day!

my mum has recently passed away..around 8 years ago i stopped her from dog sitting as she had a fall on bookham common and broke her hip . she took on 2 kittens sally and geogie ,sisters. i have contacted the local vets to see if the can rehouse them as i have already got 3 cats and cannot afford more.i however very fond of them and wondered if a home might be found with a forum member . that way i hopefully can see pictures of how they are getting on :thumbsup

I hope you find a good home for them Cycleman, roughly whereabouts are you? It might help with someone here taking them in. Good luck!
Smokey looks the spit of one of my sisters early cats - Bacardi. She was quite an odd cat, in a nice way, but definitely odd.

Our last old boy finally gave in to time last November, a couple of years after his brother had popped his clogs and left him in peace. He was about 18, so not really unexpected.
It does mean we have a little force of nature in the house now. A few weeks of the place feeling empty drove us to the cat rescue place where we picked up Isla - a tiny 5 year old tortoiseshell who wants inside every cupboard; to sleep on every lap; to chase and fight and basically burn off energy in every way imaginable.

She's seen off the local 'top cat' already, although she and the chickens seem to have come to an uneasy truce. She doesn't get too close to them and therefore they don't chase her.

She's working on the tubbiness. Allegedly torties are prone to that, there certainly seems to be something as she exhibits most of the behaviour apparently typical to them.
And Mel (better half) showed me that pic when we were first looking to put a cat flap in (she's a semi-outdoor cat, certainly more so than the two old codgers who preceded her) commenting that she looked just like Isla. :D

Don't let my cats see that picture of your posh cat flap shelf, they will be wanting one too :o
-
Needs must. The cat flap is way too far off the ground for them to get through easily otherwise.

Ours would want a Stannah CatflapLift if one were available...

So is mine, but I figured if they can jump an 8 foot fence then they can perform a mid air dive-at-the-flap manouvre ;D They do make one hell of a crash coming through it sometimes though! If I made them a shelf I reckon I would end up with a cat ornament permanently mounted on my front door!

Say hello to Frankie (to be confirmed), s/he was rescued from a homeless guy who was mistreating her. She's tiny but has ginormous fur and huge claws. I say she but we don't know yet, her furs too long to check :facepalm: we've only had her half a day but already she's gone from being scared of everything to snuggling up in the sofa, though she's still terrified of boots. Never heard a kitty purr so loudly.

She even used the litter tray in the bathroom first time. Funniest moment was when we left her alone to get accustomed to the place as we went out to get food, litter etc. Came back to find her missing. After an hour of panic she finally reared her head of the of the cable tidy cut out in the shelving unit, the only access is through a 5cm hole. Oh and she loves attacking my spds ::-)

Almost back to his usual self. Seems to be a massive Mac fan lol. Though I think it's cos they are warmer bodied than the pc laptop in the room lol.

First & last bath surely?

Aww, he's a very pretty boy!

He honestly didn't seem to mind, not even the shampoo.

Gods, you washed a cat, and managed to get photographs of it? (and with no evidence of any blood)
Talisker is the most chilled out cat I know, and I had to use gardening gloves to bathe him, and I still ended up with the only scratches he's ever given me. :-\
He looks very cute, and must be incredibly laid back. :)

-
Oh no !
Have they snipped bits of her ear away ?
-
Eeep, poor Mia, and poor you. I hope they're able to keep her comfortable as long as possible.
-
Poor puss. :( Cat's with light fur/skin are apparently prone to this, and we should put sun block on their ears.
If they lose part or all of their ears, it must have an impact on their interactions with other cats, since ears seem to be so involved in, at a minimum, some significant body language, and possibly more subtle communication that we don't understand.
I'm just thankful that Talisker is as black as a very black thing, so I don't need to attempt to put sun block on him. :-\
-
Oh noes :(

:( Mia (15) has skin cancer
Emmie (half a nose removed for similar reasons) sends her best wishes, and says that it really doesn't stop you from being a proper cat at all. :-*
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3097/4553625255_1c7c8577ea.jpg)
-
Mia is very placid, and seems not unhappy with life. She's become quite stiff in her old age and is not the perfectly groomed puss she once was.
I haven't seen her for more than 6 months and the winter has taken it's toll. Her (litter) sister Maudie died 3 years ago. Nothing lasts forever.
-
Of course both Emmie and Mia would be stuffed in nature, so they're doing a lot better as pets than they would have done in the wild.
(Aside from being spoilt rotten and given all the cat food that they can eat!)

New game: Cats in the Attic. This is getting to be quite a PITA; every time I go up there they climb the steps and follow me in. There's all sorts of horrible bits of wiring, wasps' nests & places to get stuck so we have an entertaining game of catch whilst I teeter along joists & try not to put my foot through the plasterboard...

Teh cute Volio kitehs!
Kiri, my Siamese also has a loft fettish. She nips up the ladder any time someone is up there but she's crap at getting down it again. Consequently nipping up into the loft to get something takes 3 times as long as it should because of the following kitteh rescue. I have even woken up at night to the sound of miowing to realise it is coming from above me and someone has inadvertently locked her up there ;D
-
My parents also had a Siamese with a loft fetish. Fortunately she also had a box fetish, so extracting her from the loft was usually a simple matter of providing a suitably enticing box, closing her in, then passing it down...

Rubbish.
Most magpies live off carrion, most of the time. Roadkill is why we see so many more than we used to.
They make their own nests as often as they 'steal'.
Yes, they eat fledglings sometimes, but on the scale of their diet as a whole, it's insignificant.

Not to the parents of the young it isn't insignificant.

Magpies are vermin, and any injured specimen brought in to me takes an instant trip to 'devon'.

Yes, they eat fledglings sometimes, but on the scale of their diet as a whole, it's insignificant.
Not to the parents of the young it isn't insignificant. It wasn't insignificant to me to see the death of the baby birds I had been carefully watching hatch and be raised in my garden as I was growing up either. Magpies are vermin, and any injured specimen brought in to me takes an instant trip to 'devon'.
Are cats vermin then too?
Puh-leese
You're entitled to hold a different opinion on magpies, you won't change mine though. (Plus I won't tell you you're speaking rubbish even if you are ;) )
-
They just discussed this on Countryfile
It seems that just about every organisation (including the RSPB) except the BSSC accepts that the primary impact on songbirds is habitat destruction and that magpies are not really a significant factor at all.
-
Its a weird one. Last year in my dad's garden magpies took every single chick from the nests of all the other birds. It's never happened before though and my dad shot the offending pair of birds and this year there has been no repeat.so perhaps it is not a problem of magpies as a whole but just that some magpies get into the habit of it.

So this little lady has come to
share take over our home. She's from Battersea, came in as a stray a couple of weeks ago. Been aged at between 3 and 5 years old, probably at the lower end of that scale. She's a really tiny cat whatever age she might be.
Very confident and affectionate so far. Rubs herself up on you a lot, comes onto the sofa if you're sat there etc. Not overly keen on being picked up, but who is?
We collected her today, and she seems to be settling in quite nicely. We've let her be for a while, just in the front living room. She's had an explore and so on around.
She seems like a really lovely cat.

Well chaps, (unless y'all are being mischievous) you have a top picture, and a bottom picture. The bottom picture is the one that looks as if said cat is chasing penguin, and is the one that isn't photographed at Pingu's home.
Glad I can sort that one out for all you lot.
-
Rigger, I think you are right!
Now, have you got a top picture? Hmmm?

You old trout.

That wasn't to do with your pet though, was it ?

No, it was yours! ;D

Trouble and more trouble. ;D
So, one is totally black, and the other has a small white bib?
Yes, Cat1 is all black and the bolder of the pair. Cat2 (who's now shed his clerical Battersea collar) has a little white smudge on his chest for ease of identification.
He's the more timid one and can often be found curled up in the little space under one of the kitchen units :)
-
They're so pretty they're like cats out of a Ladybird book or something. ;D
-
They are bloody gorgeous - you've made me and Mrs JT want another kitten now!
And Cat 2 reminds us of Miles...

-
Aww, poor Mia. What mustn't she scratch/chew/lick/whatever ?
-
It's the skin cancer. They've cut all sorts of bits out. Apparently she's come through very well and is much fitter than they'd feared.
-
Cats with light fur are apparently prone to that. :(
Hopefully the cone will be off shortly, and she can get to being her normal furry (probably troublemaking) self.
-
Aw. poor Mia. Alfie sends her love 'n dementia.

Awwwh cute, congrats to Charlotte & Julian on becoming the proud playthings of the kittens.

Frankie the CatDog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MFyg9_lYVA)
Frankie playing fetch!
-
LOL, I've never seen a cat which will actually bring the ball back. Most of them will chase a ball like that, but then look at you, until you go and get the ball, and throw it again!
One of my parents neighbours had a cat who would steal balls. He'd take any balls that he found, and which he could carry in his mouth, back to his "home" garden. He would even try and carry quite large ones, if they were deflated enough that he could get a decent mouthful !
-
My first cat - who was by all accounts the stereotype of a highly intelligent Siamese - would play fetch, catch, ping-pong ball football, hide and seek, leap-up-and-grab-the-toy-out-of-my-hand, turn the bathroom light on and off and so on. I even managed to train her that the most effective way to get food was to sit cutely by her bowl rather than tripping people up, mowling or jumping on the surfaces! We're forever grateful that she never learned to answer the phone (my aunt has a Siamese who was notorious for this, so their line was often engaged) or flush the toilet.
Sadly none of our subsequent cats demonstrated anything like that level of trainability, though one of them did have a favourite ball that she'd carry around (sadly, even to the litter tray) in her mouth and throw at you when she wanted to play. And another managed to train both the humans and the local squirrels to be a source of entertainment (squirrel would appear at the window, cat would go and get attention of humans, humans would throw nuts to squirrel, cat would sit and bark at squirrels eating nuts).

It's not bad, there is a little scar tissue where the hair doesn't grow. He can still jump up onto the wall between our building and the next- it's above my head height- so he seems to have plenty mobility.

Yeah the tabby one was the biggest. The two mostly white ones were the tiniest and took ages to get breathing. They were still partly anaesthetised in that pic as takes them a while to breathe out the anaesthetic gases from their blood stream. They were lucky to all make it really considering the mum had a smashed pelvis from an RTA a year ago and should have been spayed then since she would never have been able to give birth :(

Our cat - aged 12 - woke up long enough to bring me a present this morning. She doesn't do this often - last time (2002) it was a, very lively, viper so I guess this is an improvement.
She is still looking very pleased with herself.

I'm guessing that you can't let them roam free until a certain age, presumably because they need their vaccinations or whatnot?
Are you going to let them be indoors/outdoors cat? My sister's cat are indoors only, but she does take them out occasionally with harnesses and leads. Being cats, they do of course manage to get the leads wrapped around things. :-\ ;D

Did they go all floppy and forget how to balance when you put the harnesses on? We used them for ours when they first went out and they absolutely refused to believe that it is possible to walk whilst wearing a harness ;D

They're all jabbed up, but until they've been done, they don't get to wander about. Also, they've not started their worming/flea treatments yet.
Are you going to let them be indoors/outdoors cat?
Outdoors, definitely. They're a pair of little hunters if ever I saw any and it would be awful not to let them roam free. It's fairly quiet and safe round here and I think they'll do well. We just have to get them used to going into the garden and coming back again!

They didn't like them very much to start with, but curiosity got the better of them pretty soon and they were dragging us all over the garden...

Tam & Daisy being cute. They'd had a bit of a falling out before this, when he accidentally sat on her, so this was good to see :)
-
That behaviour is usually a prelude to kitty fisticuffs here :hand:
-
It can be a dominance thing (Mrs MV's brother's kitten tries to wash his head to show who's boss :)) but with these two it's genuine affection, and they wash each other
-
Not mine, they belong to my parents (or is it they belong to the cats - so hard to tell)
Charlie - he's a Ragdoll. This was taken when he was a kitten. He's a lot bigger and fluffier now.

They're usually pretty tough. That fella looks to be anyway.

as students we shared a house with a bloke from Wakefield (who later went on to have a minor role in the cash-for-questions thing). We had jays in the garden, and his take was "That bird must be f'in hard - a pink crow, that's going to get the shit kicked out of it otherwise, isn't it ?

Ginger, who you you will not be surprised to learn was a ginger cat, was the local bad boy. He came home with all sorts, a literal string of sausages as in a cartoon, a slice of beef with gravy, next door's goldfish, that sort of thing. So no gingerism does not appear to be a cat thing

This is my brother's cat, Chorlton. He's not really a big bruiser, but he does bring in small dead mammals. He's more of a slut, as you can probably see. Maybe it's because he's more of a strawberry blonde than a ginger.
-
He looks exactly like Tam :)
Same personality too, by the look of it.

Tortie (http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/6014657267/) by blackpuddinonnabike (http://www.flickr.com/people/blackpuddinonnabike/), on Flickr
-
First, the bad news: This was Sandy, Anders's first cat, who had to be put to sleep earlier this year at *3 years old* due to an incurable disease. This, as you can imagine, was extremely suckful for all of us. He was a strong, aggressively friendly cat with an improbably bushy tail; he quickly became the feline Big Cheese in our house.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3431/4566431184_37d0770c84_z.jpg)
Now the good news: This is Sooty, who Anders met and bonded with not long before Sandy passed away. Sooty is a strong, aggressively friendly cat with a pitifully skinny tail. He pretty much lets the other cats do their own thing, except when he's stealing their food or chasing their tails.

Ours went to the vet today for annual vaccinations
The vet was telling me how torties were permanently stressed and prone to skin complaints as a result. At which point Daisy rolled over to show her tummy, and started purring loudly :)

Kirst, I hate to say it, but I think your kitteh may be a bit underfed... ;)

I just had a serious cuteness overload while visiting
two kittens my parents and their two new(ish) kittens. They were born on May 1st, & are now in that lean, lithe, leggy stage of kittenhood, where they are hyperactive & excessively agile, hurtling up walls & bouncing off ceilings. They're now kittens who peep out from behind curtains - over the top, having climbed up the other side. ;D
But I forgot to check the battery in my camera. One picture, & it died. :facepalm:
The old cat hates 'em. She avoids them, & whenever they try to make friends she has a hissy-snarly fit.

Kitten on canal boat

Extremely atypical, because it's awake but sitting still.

That's a very cute canal boat kitten, but I've recently become biased in favour of mostly white underside with coloured fur on top cats.

Bledlow, she's beautiful. One of our first cats was a tortie much like yours in colouring which is quite rare. *wants a kitteh*
Just to be pedantic, a tortoiseshell cat has no white, and the colouring arises due to a genetic trait.
Bledlow's cat is a 'calico' or 'tortoiseshell and white'. But very cute all the same....

One of a pair that my parents got recently. Born May 1st. They have a sibling in Lincolnshire. All the same colouring. The other one of the pair has a bigger black patch on the face, & the patterns on their bodies are easily distinguished.
They've not ventured off the boat yet, so haven't discovered what happens when they jump for the bank & miss. It'll come. ;D
Most of their waking hours are spent in energetic play. Lots of play fighting with each other & anyone who'll give them a hand to fight (they know to hold back with claws & teeth), chasing small movable things, etc. They've found perches (one a shelf formerly occupied by CDs which have had to find a new home) from which they can watch the world outside. Very quickly overcame their caution & made friends with Mrs B & me. Purr very loudly.

An attempt to get a couple of decent head shots of both Kai and Zev, but neither was quite looking at the right place when I took the shots, and the flash in Zev's case is a bit naff, I need to use something slightly more diffuse, but often you just have to grab the camera, and use the built in flash. :-\

This one has a habit of getting into the bed, not just on top 8)
Every morning at the moment I wake up to find George, our two year old Burmese, tucked under the duvet by my feet with his head sticking out. He is much more considerate than his predecessor Milo (see pic left) who, along with Bertie, would conspire to shove me over to nearly-falling-out-of-bed every night. Bertie has taken instead to merely sitting on my neck when the alarm goes off or if I make the slightest stirring before that. When it gets cold at night, he'll be under the duvet too. :thumbsup:

Well, we've become a two-cat household. Cass was very keen on there being another furry friend wandering around to keep us and Lady Chilli Pepper company. So, Sir Scoville has arrived from a lady who is due to give birth this coming Tuesday and was becoming increasingly concerned about their ability to pay the cat any attention etc. He's 10 months old and he's quite a big lump (especially compared to the very petite Chilli). He's in the front living room currently (with Chilli wondering why she is suddenly not allowed in there!) - he seems pretty shell-shocked by the move (he's literally never been outside, so a train ride from Hackney to Chiswick was quite traumatic). He's wandered out from under the sofa during the night and eaten and used the litter tray - so hopefully he will settle over the next few days and then we can think about introducing the two cats and hoping that all goes well!

Ha - a friend commented last night that we'll end up with more cats than bikes soon - I assured him that this will not be the case. Two is a good number of cats, two bikes is far too few for two people.
He's a very handsome fellow, and I am sure he will venture out more and more over the next few days. He was very approachable and friendly in his original house, so it's just a question of settling a bit now. He has lived in the same block of flats for his entire 10 months, never been outside or anything, so a trip in a cat-carrier across London must have been very scary, though he was as good as gold on the train.
He'll settle soon enough I am sure. He'll be off to the vets on Thursday for a bit more upheaval (jabs, chipping and the chop) - we'll then take it as it comes as to introductions with Chilli. The vet doesn't see any problems once he's been fixed (Chilli is spayed), suggesting to give him another few days after the chop before they are properly introduced. Chilli seems utterly unbothered by his smell (we inherited his litter tray, which we left in the kitchen whilst we sorted things in the front room, along with a blanket - she had a good smell around it all and, whilst fascinated, did not exhibit any signs of distress or aggression.) She gets annoyed when we both disappear into the front room and she can't come with us - but she tends to be like that anyway currently.
Hopefully in a couple of weeks, I'll be able to put up a photo of the two of them at least tolerating each other, if not being BFF!

Right I'm hving issues posting a pic of the two gits that seem to enjoy paying with my sockets, then going to sleep in my rag bags. Then hissing at me when I awake them. Also if i'm having a nap in a car listening to the radio I awake with one on them either asleep on my head or asleep on my feet. So moving gets lots of moaning meows.

Boushti is liking the new place and so am I. He comes and goes via the catflap and I don't have to smuggle him in past the landlord any more (and we got our entire deposit back too). He's had some teeth out recently but doing fine otherwise but I don't have any new photos.
Oh well- In my email today- a photo of Ms. P's friend's cat. Ooh, I think, that can go on the cycling forum instead.

When I was talking to some Cat rescue bods, some months back, when Talisker went to the vets, they said that black and white cats are the hardest to rehome, because they're considered to be "common". :-\
Kai is White and Black, and Zev is Black and White (the predominant colour comes first), and they seem like a fine pair of little furry nutters to me. :)

She's definitely more a small cat than a kitten now, but still fairly stupid! She can easily fall off things, and doesn't always remember not to have her claws on full four paw drive (ouch!) I've got half a dozen scratches on my hands from her having minor panics when I pick her up, although she's generally getting better at that.
Kai is getting a little rotund, so I think I'm definitely going to have to slowly reduce his food a bit. He does have a sneaky habit of nicking Zev's food, although that's mainly a problem with the dry food I leave out for her, which he'll happily scoff the entire bowl of. She's much less fussy about food than him, so he often doesn't fancy her food much, and won't touch it!

A couple more shots of Zev, since she happened to be moderately photogenic (ie I only got a dozen shots of a blur, or her bum!)

Kai has been de-naded, since he could be more than a little smelly! Zev's too young yet. She'll probably go under the knife around the end of November, start of December, when she's approximately 6 months old.
-
Hector is still a tomcat (he's about 3-4 months old and has - literally - doubled in size over the last three weeks) but, from the way he sometimes curls his tail right over his back, I suspect he will start spraying soon and then he'll be booked in. Otherwise we'll get him done when he's six months old or if he tries to hump Boo.

I think she's doubled in size since returning (the neighbours over-fed her while we were away), but she's slimmer than before she vanished, and the vet approves (and would like her to lose a few more hundred grams).
Her dose is looking better too.

Not the best shots in the world of Zev, but at least they're mostly in focus. Trying to take a photo of a black cat against a chocolate coloured sofa, in a poorly lit room, it was challenging to focus the camera, the auto-focus refused to work at all.
Unusually, I've let her into the living room this evening. She'll often scarper under the sofa, where it's pretty much impossible to get to her, and even Kai can't fit, so I can't use him to herd her out!

She does look a bit chunky in that shot. She may have started to lower her body a bit, like they do when they're a bit nervous, and there's someone waving an odd object around! Generally she looks quite lanky, like most DSHs.
The bowl (i) isn't hers, it just happened to be there when I was taking the photo, & (ii) is just non-stick, not titanium. The only titanium I own are titanium tent pegs and sporks!

Further confirmation that Kai is a Forest Cat, is that he's quite happily going outside, even when the evenings are a bit chilly, and isn't particularly using the heated bed even when he's in the house. He's clearly a hardy soul!

Actually, because it's more 3D now, and not as flat, ie some of the "cubes" reuse other cubes for more of their edges, I've got quite a lot of rods and corner pieces spare. I'm not sure what I can do with them, but I'll maybe make some more platform bits to extend it even further!

Been a while since any photos of our two furry nutters have been shared. They seem to be getting on okay - won't say friends, but we've not had any real outbreaks of hostilities.
They'll chase each other around a few times a day and things only get noisy/out of hand if Sir Scoville (the younger, male cat who is the newer arrival) catches Lady Chilli Pepper (small, female who arrived first) and does his trademark WWF-style belly flop onto her! She is not so keen on that and tends to give him a good bat with her paw (she has scratched his nose a couple of times).
Largely, they seem unbothered by each other - keep themselves to themselves much of the time, they'll not get too close to each other very often, they've found their own spots to sleep in etc. Scovie is pretty chilled out and sleeps most all of the time. Chilli is a handful and is constantly roaming about trying to get into/onto everything possible.

Chilli's new favourite spot. We put some shelves in the front room, which have instantly become her watchtower. She sleeps up there sometimes! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcusjb/6375939381/) by marcus_jb1973 (http://www.flickr.com/people/marcusjb/), on Flickr
-
Haha, Lady CP looks pretty pleased with herself up there :)
-
I guess it's a 'tree' to her (our little courtyard garden has none), so she can see everything and is safe from predators.
Scovie, on the other hand, has never ventured more than about 1 metre above floor level - shows no interest in climbing whatsoever. He's quite a dull cat really, but adorable with it!
Chilli is all the entertainment I can handle as she crashes and bangs through life. She really is the definition of curiosity killing the cat! This morning she gave me a fright as she misjudged the leap from her scratching pedestal onto the filing cabinet (her route up the 'tree') and bounced off the filing cabinet, off my bike's handlebars and onto the floor, certainly not feet first! Her other tricks include hanging about on top of open doors quite a lot - she just likes being up high. But then her most favourite hiding spots are both at ground level (1 behind a chair in the conservatory and the other in the garden between 2 large pots behind some ivy).
-
Just playing with a new macro lens, I got this shot of Kai's face, although he looked slightly away as I took it (predictably!)
(http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/xanthus/Kai/KaiFaceNewLens_thumb640.jpg) (http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/xanthus/Kai/KaiFaceNewLens.jpg)
-
:D He's wuvly.
-
That photo works quite well, since I was fairly close (although not really Macro close) to him, so the rest of his body, and the background is out of focus, leaving his head nicely highlighted. I was also experimenting with using raw images, because with these two, either the very white, or very black images are hard to correct, and if the image is a little bit under or over exposed, modifying the JPG doesn't always look that good. With the raw data it's much easier to get an acceptable image.
-
Nice shot of Kai, you can see every hair on his face :)
In fact, it's making me want to pick his little nose for him (my poor cats have to submit to having the sleep picked out of their eyes for them daily, it's a bad habit of mine)!
-
Possibly you're hands are a mite smaller than mine. I have to be very careful if I clean any sleep out of their eyes, especially Zev, since being a kitten she's sometimes not quite as good as doing that as adults seem to be. They also don't like me approaching their eyes with my relatively big hands either!
Talisker wasn't brilliant at it either, but I think that was him getting a bit more elderly.
Until I looked at that photo, I hadn't realised he was a bit snotty, it's nowhere near as obvious as that photo makes it look!

I think it's just me being cat-snot obsessed! Technically it isn't really snot, they have porphyrin pigments that can look dark or reddish coloured in the normal amount of tear/mucus/nasal secretions which makes it visible against a white cat's skin and fur.
-
I used to pick snot out of my cats' eyes too.
Actually, Zev happily let me do it when she was with us at first (she quickly decided I was mummy cat and was therefore allowed to do such things), but eventually worked out that going near her eyes probably meant I was about to attack her with the evil ointment and became a lot more wary.
-
If I need to do something like that to Zev, and need to indicate that I'm "Mum cat", it takes a definite assertiveness to get her to behave. Tapping her nose, or if all else fails, grabbing her by the scruff of her neck. I have to be careful doing that though, because she's a lot heavier now, so I have to support her lower half as well with a hand. It does stop her when she's getting into a "I'm going to scratch everything / exploding cat" mood.
Here are some more shots, although the ones of Zev aren't as good because (i) it's still difficult to get a decent shot of a black cat, although eventually I'm going to work out how to do it & (ii) she was on the other side of the room, so the flash has only minimally helped illuminate her.

whatwho is on the menu. :o

When I read up on it, there are two main thoughts. One is they are trying to make somewhere to sleep, treading down imaginary grass etc.
The other is some kind of throwback to suckling, the kneading would trigger the milk from mother cat.
Both of ours do it from time to time on a little blanket on the sofa. Scoville sometimes does try and start suckling the blanket, suggesting the second explanation has more merit. He is about a year old.
-
Frankie is almost a year old now :)
Ooh is he going to get much bigger?

Their Christmas present just arrived. Well, to be honest it is actually Alfie's present, given he is so geriatric. He currently sits on the radiator when the heating is on, which is a struggle for him to get up to, via a missing bannister and a carefully placed bedside table ;D
-
He's going to have to work hard if he is to stake a claim for that, or are you going to evict the other cats if they get there first.
-
What's Frankie doing?
http://youtu.be/lFj7RT1jgKY
My old cat called P*ssy did that for years on my mum. I think they are trying to remember old days when with mummy and kitty'hood or just some sort of animal instinct.
-
But whats he trying to do?
He is actually trying to stimumlate your milk let-down reflex prior to suckling you (well that is what his instincts are telling him anyway ;D ).
it means he thinks you are his mummy and is getting warm fuzzy feelings.

I got exactly the same bed for Talisker, but he rarely used it.
Kai did use it when he was sleeping in the Bathroom (because he was un-neutered and prone to spraying a bit), but hasn't shown much interest since.
Kai also did the kneading thing in that bed, and I tend to agree with others that it's them naturally doing what they would have done as kittens to stimulate milk from mum. We do tend to treat them in a very kitten like fashion, so it's hardly surprising that they sometimes behave like very big kittens.
I wonder if Zev will use it now that she'll be allowed to wander around the house, and further afield if she wishes. Her hair isn't half as long as Kai's, she'd just a bog standard domestic short hair, so she may well feel the chill weather a bit more.

Really like that photo, Windy.

OK - so the addition of a favourite blanket and moving the bed to a darker place have worked.
After 24 hours it is a success.

Who knows if it will still be a success in another 24 hours. Cats, eh! ;D

Hopefully it will be as popular as the heated bed I bought Kiri and Rico as kittens to help them settle in. I've made a few attempts to unplug the thing over the years, but they are now 5 years old and still spend most of their time in it! If I turn it off they look most disgruntled.

Awh, they are so kewt!

Cats are very organised at doing what they do best. ;D
So far, the closest Kai and Zev have gotten to sleeping together, is about three foot apart, with me between them!
It'll be interesting on Monday, when I pick them up, to see how they've been getting on. The woman who runs that cattery reckoned that it would possibly get them on better terms, or alternatively they'll end up killing each other. ;D

Awh, they are so kewt!
No kewtness today ,bored due to not playing out as we have snow outside Biff has decided fun is to be had knocking 7 bells out of his sister ,who is now avoiding him at all costs.

For all that it looks like Kai is a bit annoyed, and squishing Zev, he calmed down after a few minutes, and was actually snoozing on both the Tram and Train journeys! Zev was more all big eyes and looking around to see what was happening.
A shoulder strap on the carrier worked, and actually made it quite easy to move them around (it's a short walk from the station to the cattery in Chessington), on past experience even a lighter load (ie Talisker) was pretty hard on my arms, so it was much easier. I don't think I'll be able to do it like this next year though. The two of them fitted in one carrier OK, but it wasn't exactly spacious, and once Zev is a bit larger, neither will be able to move around, so I'll have to use two carriers in future (or get a bigger one).

Yes, my Siamese both hop in then proceed to use the rear seats as their scratching post!
Kiri also likes to get into supermarket delivery vehicles. I have to check where she is before they are allowed to drive off!
-

Well, not in, because my bike doesn't really have an in, but Talisker would jump onto the rack to really make sure I noticed him, and give him a fluff.
-
Many years ago, one of our cats used to adorn the parcel shelf whilst I drove out to collect SWMBO from work.

A friend of my fathers, who was a GP, used to have her cat in her car when she went out to visit patients. As with Fuzzy, the cat used to just sleep on the rear parcel shelf. I guess it's an improvement upon a nodding dog!

Wow, that's almost exactly what my parents' cats used to look like, only the other way up: Cleo, the somewhat lardy Seal point would usually decide to climb in second, with polite licking deteriorating into head-kicking and neck-biting when she inevitably failed to keep her back feet on the top of the radiator and would fall gracelessly on top. They'd generaly flop around like that for a while before one of the tubes supporting the bed would work loose and the side would collapse, with both cats sliding reluctantly to the floor. They would then wander off pretending that they meant to do that.

Well, this goombah went missing on Sunday night. Didn't show for breakfast on Monday or dinner or indeed breakfast this morning. This afternoon SWMBO is off to the doctor's. As she's getting into her car she sees a kerfuffle going on in mine.
The little sod had sneaked in to my car when I came home from Mum's on Sunday evening, luckily he held on to his doings until she let him out this afternoon. I'm checking carefully from now on!

We shared a house at university with a bloke (let's call him "Karl") who was really, really rubbish at getting course work in on time. One essay had been haunting him for weeks; he'd got an extension, then another, and finally (miraculously) finished it on a Sunday evening, leaving him time to go to the pub to celebrate.
Unfortunately he made he mistake of feeding the cat a very out-of-date kipper and then accidentally locking it in his room when he went out. Said cat was explosive at both ends all over Karl's shiny new (handwritten in those days) essay which he'd left spread out along his windowsill ...
And then next day he had to go and try to explain to his tutor that he really had done the essay this time, but...
He took the essay in in a plastic bag, but the tutor chose not to try to read it.
-
I had the opposite happen once: The school caretakers cat, who was quite elderly and not entirely in control of his bodily fluids, liked to sneak into the music rooms in search of warmth. Unfortunately this would sometimes turn out to be a pile of freshly-marked essays next to a radiator...

Similarly my son took the kitten to bed with him last night. His bed is one of those bunks with a desk under and too high for said kitten to jump down from. He had to decamp to a sofa in the night and much laundry has been done today.

Some of these stories are great.

Meet our new kitty, she's about 6months old anna stray. The photo's don't do her justice, she is absolutely gorgeous in real life. Her and Frankie don't see eye to eye yet, she keeps hissing and growling at him, he growls every so often.
She doesn't have a name yet but Lyn is calling her Charlie so it may well be that.
-
... She doesn't have a name yet but Lyn is calling her Charlie so it may well be that.

Yes, but that wouldn't have supported my argument, so I ignored it. ;D

Remember, you want something you can shout out the door when trying to find her, for feeding / vet visits / random other cat finding purpose. If you pick the wrong name, it could be embarrassing!
-
True. Anyways, she's terrorising Frankie atm, he's realised he's bigger so isn't so fussed about attacking her but she's using guerilla tactics, every time he sits down to snooze, she sneeks up and whacks him on the face, does the whole hissy thing and then runs off and hides underneath the sofa. Other than that she stops him in his path by coming out and growling/hissing and they just stare at each hour for minutes/hours. Frankie as that sad look of bemusement on his face saying why have you ruined a perfect thing?
Is this normal?
-
That does sound a bit like Zev and Kai.
I think, as long as they're not really aggressively fighting ie arched back, all fur on end, lots of teeth and claws, and drawing noticeable amounts of blood, it's probably OK.
I'd guess it's a combination of trying to sort out their hierarchy, and also that kittens do play fight a lot.
Kai's a lot older than Zev, but he will join in sometimes, on other occasions he just ignores her, aside from the odd swipe of a paw to warn her off. What used to fascinate Zev, was Kai's big fluffy tail, which he would of course start twitching when she was annoying him, and which just encouraged her to attack it! She's not quite so bad with that now.
-
Ah yes the big fluffy tail, Frankie has the same lol
-
So decided to call her Lumen, she is now confident enough to sleep on the sofa instead of underneath it. Frankie has his own reading chair he's claimed.
Weirdest thing happened though, I let Frankie out earlier, his arch nemesis is Chip, the local half red half grey squirrel, they torment eachother. They were sat on the grass about a foot away from eachother looking through the glass door at Lumen who was hissing and growling at them.

There is a company actually selling a device for this to vets, although any strongish clip will work. It sends them into kitten-being-carried-by-mum mode where they relax and hang by the scruff ;D
-
I've never seen it work that well on an adult cat - impressive!
AIUI it's okay to grab an adult by the scruff to calm them down, as long as you don't pick them up by it as you would a kitten?
-

I wouldn't necessarily recommend you try grabbing a cat who is already wound up heh. Even if you hold all four of their legs they will get you with a 5th then bite you ;D
I wouldn't pick an adult cat up by the scruff without supporting their weight from below since the skin is not really strong enough to take 4-6kg of dangling cat and it could hurt. Calming techniques on cats work best if the cat is already calm at the start, once their adrenaline gets pumping you end up with something closer to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hPxGmTGarM
-
Yes, once Zev gets a bit upset, then the kitten being carried by mum bit doesn't really work. It worked better when she was younger, but doesn't work as well now. I've never done it that often, and generally only when she's decided to go into exploding cat, paws and claws everywhere mode, but it doesn't really do much now. Luckily she's small enough that I can just grab all four paws and stop her struggling, although you can't really do anything else at that point, having run out of hands!
She's currently definitely not as relaxed as either Kai is, or Talisker was.
-
The scruffing just about worked when I rescued Zev from down the side of a skip. She was very very scared/angry and I managed to scruff her while holding her which mainly had the effect of her growling but not really able to bite/claw me. That was enough to get her in the house and up to bathroom into drybath where we could put her down and she couldn't run away anywhere dangerous.
I think we only scruffed her one or two more times and that was to get eyedrops in her eyes, Kim usually used the nicely nicely getting her as calm as possible method which worked till she got wise to it.
-
I suspect I'll find out how well it works, the next time I need to do something like give her a pill! Kai luckily is relaxed enough that I can just flip him on his back and pop a pill in, as I used to do with Talisker. So far, I've only had to give Zev a worming paste, and that resulted in only a handful of scratches!
-
Here's an update:

In that photo, they almost look the same size. How big is Charlie compared to Frankie?
Zev is still only about 3/5th the size of Kai, but it doesn't stop her attacking him more often than the other way around!
Frankie looks a little more relaxed than Charlie, which is much the same as my two. Zev is the nervous one, always ready to run away, or be spooked easily, and with the big wide worried eyes if she's not sure what's happening, for example someone with a strange camera thingy!

I forgot about Rico's 'issues' with walking in snow and forgot to provide him with a litter tray yesterday. He pissed on the floor of my ensuite bathroom. I am so glad he didn't do it on the bed like he did last year!

Here's an update:
...
As you can see they're tolerating eachother but the look on their faces tell a story lol.
In that photo, they almost look the same size. How big is Charlie compared to Frankie?
Zev is still only about 3/5th the size of Kai, but it doesn't stop her attacking him more often than the other way around!
Frankie looks a little more relaxed than Charlie, which is much the same as my two. Zev is the nervous one, always ready to run away, or be spooked easily, and with the big wide worried eyes if she's not sure what's happening, for example someone with a strange camera thingy!
Frankie is a good 3rd bigger, that said after a bath they're both not to dissimilar, frankie just has tonnes of hair. He's taking the offensive now, they get on much better and only growl/hiss when they spot eachother from either side of one of us. But they do play fight a lot which Frankie starts now and stops when she starts hissing. I think he's just trying to play and she's not.
-
Interestingly though, the other night, Toby the big male cat came in through the window for a visit, she didn't seem to mind him, infact she pretty much followed him around which he didn't like. Despite his size, he's a bit of a whimp.

We have a eregular visitor to our garden- she winds Willow and Scoobie up a treat. We call her Scuttle cat cos she has short legs and scuttles off when spooked. She does a good impression of a Tribble however-

Are you sure her legs are short or could it be her fluff covers most of them?
She looks teh cute!

This is our new kitty overlord, surveying the study her realm from on top of the wardrobe.
Say hello to 'Princess... Oh god! We have to think of a better name! But it suits her so well! Gaah!' :facepalm:
She is a domestic short hair and very soft. We deliberately re-homed a shy cat as our house has a very regular schedule of not much coming and going and is a quiet environment. She settled in pretty quickly, spending most of the first day in her igloo, then exploring the study when it got dark. This morning she has been wandering around, meowing to get strokes and has had a bit of a sit on my lap. She is one of those funny cats who nuzzle at you until you stroke them, then instantly walk away ::-)
We have now got the door open to the rest of the house, she has stuck her head out a couple of times, but currently isn't interested in exploring. She is currently sleeping ontop of the wardrobe, which she loves when we have music on. No music and she isn't interested in being up there for long.
-
Aaah! She's lovely. A musical kitteh you say? How about Diva for a name that combines 'Princess' and musak?
-
... She is one of those funny cats who nuzzle at you until you stroke them, then instantly walk away ::-) ...

A couple of shots of Zev playing with a toy mouse that came from the latest cat food delivery. I tried to get one when she threw the toy in the air, but I never managed to quite catch that.

Awww she looks very much like when she was tiny but BIIIG!
Katzenspielzeugen!

She still not a huge cat, albeit somewhat larger than she was. Given she's now about 10 months old, I suspect she's not going to get a lot larger. That is quite a small toy mouse. She's brought in larger real (dead) mice.

Somebody's going to trip up over that hoover flex...

Haha, you know I never noticed!
Stop press: after hiding under a chair all day yesterday and ignoring enticement by tidbits, in the evening he came out for a stroke, almost had a belly rub and then would have had a lap had Jock not been in the way!
I thought he was going to be hiding for a few weeks more. Hopefully there will be photies soon :)

Did one of them say "wheeeeeeeeeeeee"?

Did they climb on there themselves, or did you put them there...?
-
They were chasing it so I put them on :) Now that it's off they try and climb it lol.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXpJAfTapxk&feature=colike

They're definitely proper little cats now. :) :thumbsup:
-
Yup they can run and climb. It's enough to make me worried. Frankie will often jump through the window, see them and growl at them and walk off. Now they chase after him which worries me.
-
Hmm. Kai was incredibly tolerant of Zev when she was younger. She would launch herself at him quite aggressively, repeatedly, and he generally didn't do too much back to her. He could have quite easily clobbered her, but seemed to choose not to.
Now, maybe he's unusual, but I suspect there's something inbuilt in many mammals that have some degree of cooperative behaviour (and admittedly cats are not pack animals, but they do seem to have some sort of social structure) that encourages them not to be excessively aggressive towards the younger more stupid members of their species.
The chances are that he'll just work out newer and better ways to avoid them, rather than them working out how to chase him down. They're bound to be curious about him, because that's how they're wired up. Cats are naturally curious, as are the young of most species, so they've got double the trouble!
Anyway, keep the kitten pictures and videos coming. ;D :thumbsup:
-
Ah he can run away outside or onto the bed which is at head height.

Kai came and sat on my lap for a short while earlier, when it started pouring down outside. Miraculously he came in just after it started, so was almost dry, with just a few drops having hit him. A second miracle involved me having a camera, so I took a few shots of him sat there.
I'm still amazed by how different he looks after only a bit over 6 months, compared to this shot that Loafheads took of him.

Sir Scoville (http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcusjb/7061323337/) by marcus_jb1973 (http://www.flickr.com/people/marcusjb/), on Flickr
Our handsome boy, Sir Scoville.
He is off to the vet's shortly for an X-ray to try and finally diagnose whether he's got asthma or whether he had a chest infection. Poor chap.
-
Hope he's feeling better soon!
-
He's getting there! X-Rays, ultra-sound of his heart etc. showing he's still got fluid around his lungs (but not heart disease thankfully). More anti-biotics and back in a week to be X-rayed again.
Bank account emptied by above procedures!
-
Seems to have grown quite a bit!
Not really, it's mostly fur. When I first took him to the vets, he estimated that Kai was around 4 years old, so he's not a spotty faced teenager, but a middle aged cat (unlike Zev who is the equivalent of a spotty faced teenage, and behaves like it!)
I think eating better, and having more time to wash and generally relax a bit means his fur has grown out a lot, and is much more luxuriant. He's probably put a bit of weight on, but mostly he's just a lot furrier than he used to be.
marcusjb, I'm glad to hear that Sir Scoville is getting better. :thumbsup:

I'm tempted at set up a cat-cam in my hall. So far today I've seen 4 different cats who are not mine come into the house! I think I must be feeding the entire feline population of my street.

Don't they gang up on him? Isn't that what siblings are for? (well, that and fighting each other).

Sadly, no - they would appear to be terrified of the next door moggy. Honestly - what's the point in being a pair of demonic black throat slashers if you can't scare a fluffy pussy out of a garden?

Always the way with cats. You could train them to use a super soaker, I suppose, but that way lies the slippery slope of defending your cat's territory for them...

It doesn't seem to matter how many you have; losing one is always a wrench. Commiserations. :(

Apparently he's a Siberian Forest Cat, or something equally odd. But he was very lovely - even when he went and brought a small fledgeling as his BBQ contribution, and proceeded to disembowel it in the centre of the party. ;D :facepalm:

... Apparently he's a Siberian Forest Cat, or something equally odd. ...
The Siberian is one of three breeds of Forest Cat, which are believed to be the ancestors of all long haired breeds. The other two are the Maine Coon, and the Norwegian Forest Cat (the only one of the three with Forest Cat actually in the name).
I reckon Kai is related to one (or more!) of these, because he has a lot of the features, the ruff around the neck, long legs, big paws etc
That chap is a fine looking cat though, lovely colouring.

So, Bear Grumpikins is settling in (I don't make the names!):

He's a lovely cat, a little under socialised and very timid of humans - it will hopefully get better as he settles more.
Chilli and him get on quite well - he seems to want to be her friend more than the other way around - if he doesn't know where she is, he'll wander around the house, chirping, until he finds her! We have a small litter tray challenge in that he is now using Chilli's favourite one and she won't share it at all with him (though she did with Scoville - though he would only ever wee in that one).

They seem to be getting on very well for such a short time!

They seem to be getting on very well for such a short time!
Yes! Cass did the beginnings of introductions at the weekend, whilst I was away at Mille Alba - and no signs of agression at all from either cat, so things moved pretty quickly. It took many days with Chilli and Scoville - so that's great that they managed in a couple of days. He's enjoying having the whole house to explore as well.
he is quite shy around humans still - sometimes. He sits at the base of my chair in the office quite a lot and I can stroke him as much as I like. Other times he physically flinches if you put your hand out to stroke him - then runs off.
All going well though - it's nice having two cats again - especially two well cats that chase each other around etc.

After almost twelve months, both Kai and Zev still occasionally flinch and cower when I put my hand out to them. It's possibly Kai's been hit by someone else in their house, because he clearly does visit other people (I know this from my neighbours), but Zev is far too nervous to go near anyone else. The one time I answered the door when holding her, I lost a significant amount of blood. She really does not like other people (no one else has yet been in the house long enough for her to not feel threatened by them).

My parents old cat lost her sight with old age, and she coped with it fine, so long as you didn't move the furniture.
One Christmas, one chair that she favoured sleeping on, had been moved exactly it's width sideways, and Cindy wandered into the room, brushed up against the leg to check that she was by the chair, and then jumped up, only to fall flat on her face! It was quite amusing, even if the poor cat probably didn't understand what had happened. ;D

She is amazing, she will walk through a room - straight through. Then, if you are in the way, she will walk through the room, at the same speed, but walk round you.
Doesn't help her find the smoked salmon though. ;D

Still looks OK this morning. Mind you, we had a very amusing three hours a couple of years ago filling it with the dinghy equivalent of Slime. We had to keep rolling the dinghy around, turning it upside down etc to ensure the inside was fully coated. That thing is heavy and not easy to handle on dry land!

The picture did rather remind me of Bill Bryson's 'Notes from a Small Island', where as a fresh arrival to the UK from the US, he was somewhat taken aback at the less-than-customer-oriented service from the propierors of the B+Bs on the south coast.
Sample here:

A page or so later he says:

Neighbours' kitten. Trotted in when I opened the door and demanded a ride on the Trice.
(http://www.ductilebiscuit.net/gallery_albums/random/IMG_3637.sized.jpg)
When I refused he went sniffing around the house, probably because his fish-dar had detected the smoked salmon defrosting in the kitchen.
(http://www.ductilebiscuit.net/gallery_albums/random/IMG_3624.sized.jpg)
That's a particularly impressive Tail.

Eventually lured him back outside with a game of chase-the-string.
-
Neighbours' kitten. Trotted in when I opened the door and demanded a ride on the Trice. ...
He looks like an impressive young fellow. Is he long haired, only too young to have grown much yet? The tail suggests he might be. His colouring isn't entirely dissimilar to Kai's although with a bit more black.
-
Yeah, he's young - he's grown visibly in the last couple of weeks. Too young to be allowed out if you ask me, especially having observed his lack of road sense. :hand:
He's got long hair - there's surprisingly little cat under all that - and a spectacular tail (that's natural resting fluffiness, not excited bushy tail mode), so I wouldn't be surprised if he grows up to be very Kai-like.
He's quite friendly and extremely curious - he climbed all over the bike trailer a couple of weeks ago while I was hitching it up, and I've seen him approaching random students as they walk past outside. And he followed barakta into the house when she came home from work this evening and ran around exploring.
-
Cats seem to have surprisingly little road sense. You'd think rapid evolution would have forced them to have some! Talisker, a totally black cat, used to favour sleeping in the middle of the road in warm weather like this.
A black cat, on a black road. :facepalm:
I used to put the highest vis reflective collars I could find on him, and wondered about putting velcro retroflectives on his paws, but decided they wouldn't last very long! I seriously wondered if you could produce some sort of retroflective or fluorescent pet shampoo, that could make a cat glow in the dark. ;D
-
It's not helped by our road suddenly becoming a rat-run, due to emergency water main works on the Bristol Road in the middle of Silly Oak. Yes, the same bit of road they've spent the last couple of years building a bypass round...

I think evolution has ensured that cats have lots of sex and get pregnant early enough that by the time Darwin strikes they have already left a dozen replacements!

This is Gash the Cat. He is a stray who hangs out at Press On Dry Cleaning, next door to the studios in Chorlton-cum-Hardy. He seems to be a good guard cat! He is so named because when the proprietors of the dry cleaning business met him, he had a nasty cut all the way along his side. As you can see, he is very well fed and made very welcome.

I don't think any of you should let your cats watch this in case they start to demand you make one for them.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce you to young Wiggins?

Sadly not mine, but my nieces'. She was known as "Mo" for a day, but I guess the Tour de France made more of an impression than the Olympics.
-
Oh my word. Demand video footage for the kitteh-lovin cyclists immediately.

Can a (female) cat grow sideburns? ;D
I love the mottled colouring of Torties, she looks like she's tricoloured. Very cute. :thumbsup:

Somehow you just 'know' that is Becky's cat.
The purposeful stance and the look that says 'It's OK. Whatever engineering problem you had, I'm here now and I can sort it.'

Two Cats sleeping

A rare shot of Zev, showing all her white patches! (ooer missues).
She has five white patches, one on her "bib", one between each pair of legs, and her front paw-pits (the patch between her front legs is only just visible).
(http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/xanthus/ZevAndKai/ZevPatches_thumb512.jpg) (http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/xanthus/ZevAndKai/ZevPatches.jpg)
She moved her left paw outside of the image, just as I took the picture. She probably wouldn't have been quite so stretched out, if she hadn't done that.
-
Aww, she's all huge!
-
Love it !
-
Neat. :thumbsup:
That is an incredibly well behaved, and mellow cat!
There was of course the infamous Rastus (http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/motorcycles/2/5/2), the Kiwi motorcycling cat (who unfortunately died with his owner in a motor vehicle collision), but I've never seen a cat on a bicycle before, other than in a carrier.

Mrs P, it is up in the NW Highlands!
I've forgotten the artists name. I shall ask again.
If it ever stops raining I shall pop out and take more piccies.

Is Blitz wearing a bandana?
I can't say I've ever seen a domestic cat "in the wild" wearing one. There are plenty of shots, which look like they're staged, with cats wearing them, but not generally when they're just wandering about.

He is. I'll have to keep an eye out for him to see how long it lasts - but I may not see him until next weekend.

Here's Wiggins again:

He is indeed a cutie. Sideburns still need work though.

You can get collars (with the standard safety-release) with a bandana attached. Tim says our cats don't needs them. :(

It does seem like it would just be an increased cost. I reckoned Talisker's average lifetime for a collar was around six weeks. With both Kai and Zev it was a lot longer, but recently their loss rate has gone up. I'm currently out of spare collars, and need to stock up.
I generally buy retroflective and/or luminous collars costing £2 to £3 each, and just treat them as disposable. The current record for loss was a new collar put on after breakfast, and gone by the time Kai turned up for supper.
Wiggins does look cute, but a bit blurry. Is there an appropriate description for kittens, in the same way that all babies look like Winston Churchill? (as pointed out by a colleague about her new daughter, so it's not just me!) To me they often look a bit shocked, and tend to have big ears and head, compared to the rest of them (but I suspect big heads are a trait retained by most mammals).

Unnamed as yet, but Asha is high on the suggestions list.

-
(s)he may be an employee, it's not unusual to actually have a cat as a mouser, to keep vermin down, and they're "paid" in cat food. Both distilleries and BT have certainly done this in the past.
-
As did York Station at one time, not sure if it still has a cat.
-
The cat rescue bods often do this with feral cats. They capture them from an undesirable location, neuter and treat them with long term worming and flea treatment, and then release them at a location like stables, where they can live happily, are fed, and will keep the inevitable vermin under control. Slightly bizarrely a well fed mouser is far better than a hungry one, a strong appetite doesn't make them better!
I presume they have to go back once a year or so, trap them, and do an annual checkup and retreatment.
-
Several of the garden centres round here have resident cats, usually with warnings posted about not getting too close!

When we took the late great Alfie to be cremated, the crem had a "comfort cat" who came to sit with you while waiting for the ashes.
A lovely touch.
If you need a crem, Prestwood near Stourbridge were first rate.
Right, back to pictures of lovely cats.....

Either that's one huge cat, or there's a certain amount of camera foreshortening! Still he (the cat) looks comfy. :)

Awww. That second photo is super cute.
We also have a cat that likes to sit on top of doors and watch the world beneath.

I found out recently that my dad has been carrying around this picture in his wallet of me, a lifetime ago, with one of the tiger cubs - so I got a scan.

Apparently back in those days I was always turning up at school with more scrapes and bruises than the other children, and with my fantastical excuses for how I got them the teachers suspected abuse. They got my parents in for a "chat", and were shocked when my parents backed up my story that the latest set of odd gouges and scrapes really were due to playing with an over-enthusiastic lion cub - especially bearing in mind that I lived in Oldham, not especially known for it's big cat population :)

Are they related to Charlie? I only ask, because despite tinkly bells that make him the audio equivalent of Santa's sleigh he's killed three robins, two rats, a mouse, and something grey that was bigger than a blackbird but smaller than a pigeon, since xmas.
That's only the stuff I know about, and one of the rats was hidden - until we found it. :sick:

This is how I wake up on cold mornings. Two live hot water bottles, under the duvet. Frequently one on either side of me, but this morning like this. God only knows how I don't crush them to deth when I'm asleep.

... Two live hot water bottles, under the duvet. ...
I think you're mistaking who is the hot water bottle. :)
None of my cats have ever been that keen on getting under the duvet. Zev will often scrunch herself close up against me, on top of the duvet, in the middle of the night, but is normally gone by the morning. I suspect she gets annoyed by too much movement coming close to squishing her, and remembers (eventually) that lying on the bed isn't always the brightest move.
-
Ha! Awesome photos.
Chilli sleeps on the bed most nights - depending on weather conditions will depend on how annoyingly close to you she chooses to sleep. Mr Bear only comes to sleep at the very foot of the bed if it's really cold.
Thankfully neither of them get under the duvet though!
-
Rico likes to get under the duvet too. He has an uncanny ability to take up 3/4 of a super- king sized bed when he lies in linear form!

For those who like names and other such details, meet Jess. Five months old and utterly bonkers.

Great videos Dibdib. :thumbsup:
Zev still hasn't worked out that it's my legs moving under the duvet, and regularly attacks them. She's almost two years old now.

Daisy will still happily chase a ball of wool.

Lies! They're Bed Monsters, and only disguise themselves as legs when you pull the duvet back. They must be stopped!
-
Jess is a real cutie dibdib!
Thanks :) she's a rescue mog, a sad story but with a happy ending.
Eagle-eyed viewers of the videos will spot that she only has one back leg. The other was quite deformed with no foot when she was born, and was giving her quite a bit of discomfort meaning she was quite badly behaved. The RSPCA took the rest of the litter for rehoming, and asked the vet to put Jess to sleep; the vet refused and amputated insted, then rehomed her herself which is where I got her. Now the leg isn't bothering her she's much happier, as you can tell, and is now a very spoilt housecat.

Despite having watched both videos, with some amusement, I hadn't noticed that. :-[ ... which is probably a good sign. Well done on taking her on, not an obvious choice for many people.
I've met three legged cats, even outdoors, so I suspect they are quite capable of being able to live a life as indoors/outdoors cats. I wouldn't necessarily deprive her of outdoor access, although you may have to think a bit about giving her ways to escape other cats, although that's potentially an issue with any cat. I'm guessing at her age, she hasn't been spayed and/or fully vaccinated yet, so isn't going to be let outdoors yet anyway.
She does looks to be happy, and like all kittens, somewhat insane. :thumbsup: ;D

I didn't notice the three legs either (had to watch again and when you know, it is obvious.). As TimO said, it is probably a good sign not to notice. It certainly isn't slowing her down a lot - still running around like a mad thing. She looks like a very amusing cat to have around!

Agreed! My camera struggles to get enough light to get a decent quick action shot of Jess indoors. Hopefully as the weather improves I'll get some good ones.
Mikey's very handsome indeed, too. You don't often see such pure ginger cats. Apparently they are genetically all tabbies IIRC, but obviously there's variation in how distinct the tabby markings are.

I came into the kitchen last night to discover that George can apparently open the kitchen drawers all by himself.

Kiri and Rico just don't get their twin bowl feeder. Here Rico is deploying the technique of snaffling the bowl furthest from him first while body-blocking Kiri from eating from his bowl. He is bigger so this technique is effective!

OOOOHHHHHH no. 7:15 was when she decided to calm down, sit next to the alarm clock, and look adorable. Before that I had about two hours of her bouncing around/under/over the bed, pouncing on my feet, and getting under the covers. I was just too tired to take a photo of that bit.
-
Zev is too well trained in my ways, she'll mostly sleep on the bed next to me, until I start to get up. Utterly useless as a cat alarm clock!

Cats do apparently have these sort of neutral areas, which are not specifically one cats territory (at least not at this time, territory can also depend upon time of day), and where they'll congregate and "interact". Since sitting quietly, and not moving is particularly friendly behaviour for a cat, this is presumably some sort of meeting, or other social gathering. Odd to us, but apparently a normal enough cat practice.

I'm not actually sure. The inkjet chromatography used to be a notice asking people not to park in front of the driveway, so I assume someone's got the builders in, but there's nothing visible from the street (other than unrelated builders at no 6). Seems to be business as usual at the church, so probably something round the back.

Good shots. :thumbsup: There's lovely detail of the face.
Black cats can be absolute buggers to photograph, often you just end up with a black silhouette! That looks like it was quite dark, given how wide the pupils are, did you use an external light source, or just a lens with a very wide aperture? The relatively small depth of focus suggests a wide open lens, but the shadow and spot of light in the eyes suggests a bright light, so possibly you used both.
-
Hi TimO,
You're absolutely right. Moderately high ISO, fast glass, a speedlight held up camera left on low power and a good dose of patience. Pee-wee (the cat) was very timid so it's taken a couple of days to let her get used to her surroundings before cracking the camera out.

Some happy cat photos from early this morning.
When I got up I noticed a neighbour's cat, the magnificent Mikey, in the shed window.
He then came into the garden and whilst alternating between looking for prey and posing, managed to get a pumpkin seed on his back.

Princess inna box :)
That's her 'I wasn't chasing my tail in the box whilst you were out of the room. Honest.' face. As soon as the room contains no servants, you can hear frantic scrabbling as she chases her tail in the box. She will freeze and pretend not to be doing it the second you walk back into the room.

I wasn't sure if this belongs here or in the dogs thread, but Google the Cockapoo has had a bad couple of weeks and is recently bereaved and is not acting himself. Kiri has taken every opportunity to sit with him, cuddle him and groom him. She was grooming his back when he turned over for her but she didn't oblige with his undercarriage!

Oh, and one of her sister Tiggy. And… they hate each other's guts.

She is Abyssinian, 5.5 years old, a breeding dam that had a lot of problems with litters, so she has become a pet. Along with an orange Aby kitten, who she is getting used to. Her colouring is amazing - it really is a salmon pink undercoat and shirt front.

We won't name her until we've had her long enough to see what fits with her personality.
We're putting suggestions up on the chalk board in the kitchen. So far we seem to be going for traditional English girls' names.

Me: "Fair enough, how about Beryl?" :demon:

Beryl

Meet - oh, she hasn't got a name yet.
Cuteness!
She seemed very happy that we had provided a bed for her to sleep in

I believe that's technically known as "doing a Zev" :D
-
Actually, she's from not very far from Kim/barakta towers. Quite possibly a distant relative of Zev's
-
That is one seriously cute kitty!
Re: Beryl, go for it, I reckon her thighs might develop adequately in time... then tell the family who Beryl is, in about a year's time.
Actually our animals rarely get addressed by their names. Tirion is frequently referred to as stripey ('cos she is) grumpy ('cos she is) or stumpy ('cos she walks all stumpy, like, due to a spine problem).
Baggins is either "big cat", "lumpy" ('cos he is, and it sort of goes with "stumpy") or "bloodyhellcatyourpawsareheavy" or sometimes, whilst I'm in bed "getoffmybollocksyoubastard". This said, I do love him dearly, and must get off my arse and post pics of the great lump here.
Surya is frequently referred to as "dog" (way too obvious to explain), stinky (ditto) or "getoutofthebloodywayyoustupidanimal" due to her tendency to be very friendly, to the extent that wherever you are trying to go, there is a border collie right in front of you. She is rightly terrified of the cats...
-
;D
That reminds me of my aunt who guide walked for the blind. Puppies have to learn seven commands, except hers learned eight, the eighth being " 'op it " which my uncle taught them.
Basil, Beryl is very cute.
-
She's adorable basil. Even sleeping in her nice gritty bed.
Very lovely.

I believe that's technically known as "doing a Zev" :D
Which she has luckily grown out of. :)
Actually, she's from not very far from Kim/barakta towers. Quite possibly a distant relative of Zev's
Her colouring isn't massively distinct from Zev, but Zev has relatively small patches on her bib and underside, and her paws are entirely black.
-
The various Zev-shaped cats we see around the area have different amounts of white, but a distinctive stockiness.
-
Our kitting's sister was much more stockier but slightly longer haired. We didn't choose her due to long hair and asthma probs.

I take it the lack of leg isn't stopping her getting around then?
She's looking good!
-
She's learnin' to cope well. Sometimes, round the house, you can hear the thud, thud, thud, as if she's got a wooden crutch under her arm. And we've witnessed her scampering along the pavement at high speed, though she has to adjust her direction, because she veers off to one side.
-
^ that's all good to hear!
Here's a picture of our two looking like the saddest, grumpiest cats ever! (Well Mr Bear's full name is Mr Bear Grumpikins!). They are not really sad (I hope!). They seem to be settling into their new home rather well and Bear, in particular, has become a lot more sociable and friendly since the move (we suspect that any residual scent of our previous male cat in the last place may have unsettled him slightly or something).
We've moved to a much higher density cat area - whilst ours don't go out onto the road, they seem pretty happy to run around the garden - but there are a number of cats who appear on top of fences and gates to annoy them. We've only had 1 cat actually jump down into the garden, it didn't cause much stress really - unlike the squirrel that went to try and collect fallen fruit on the ground - that did cause a bit of fun and games.

You need the vacuum on your carpet!
-
They're not grumpy, they are just considering the more serious and weighty issues of life. Its a responsible job being a cat, y'know.
-
They're waiting for you to go away so they can continue plotting.

Watch out when you are packing camera gear to go away...
No one is looking...

Some time back, I dismantled Zev Towers (https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=144.msg1084921#msg1084921) because Zev was no longer living in that room exclusively, and I needed it for visitors of the non-feline variety!
I just reassembled some of it, to give Zev a perch where she can sleep and watch the outside world go by, when she doesn't want to go out.
(http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/xanthus/Zev/ZevSleepingOnPerch_500.jpg) (http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/xanthus/Zev/ZevSleepingOnPerch.jpg)

She's slept on it several times since I put it there, so it's obviously a hit. The washing machine and dish washer are just below her, so she does tend to pop her head up, and watch me, when I'm filling or emptying them.

She didn't want to leave the security of the bath at that point, and preferred the texture of the litter to that of the bath mat I'd put in just out of shot (which she later decided to pee on).

Yep. Dafydd did that too, when he first came to us at 9 weeks old.He was called Beryl at the time. oops. :facepalm:

^ Cat fell out of a window this evening.
2nd floor window. After an emergency vet call out (only a child at home) she* seems to be sore but OK.
*cat, not vet, or child.
-
Cats are astoundingly good at falling out of windows. I read somewhere that they achieve terminal velocity after about 10 metres, and can usually survive that with no or minor injuries, depending on the surface they land on (and whether there's anything wrong with them that interferes with their proper landing instinct).
-
Glad the cat is all okay.

Sadly, 3-legged Noodle can't jump for toffee, and I don't think she's caught even one mouse. Her sister's caught over 50, but none this year. I don't think, given their ages, there's much chance of them reaching over 28,0000 mice somehow! That's a plague isn't it?
And good to hear Jaders's Ginger's okay.

Eels that must have been worrying Jaded :o
I worry about my Kiri doing the same thing. She climbs out of our bathroom window onto the garage roof, but occasionally seems to want to do the same from the bedroom window which would give her a 20 foot drop onto the patio. I once ended up yelling at her from the garden to not jump off the ledge while Simon rushed into the room to retrieve her. We can't open those windows more than one notch safely now ::-)

I have to be careful at home, second floor (ground, first and second) window and Daisy will go out pane one along the UPVC external window sill and in pane 3, Pane 2 doesn't open. :o
I twitch each time I see it.

It's brings to mind a cat I treated at work many moons ago who lived in a block of flats and would do the window ledge thing from room to room. What the cat failed to take into account was that when she was pregnant ..... splat :facepalm: She survived with surgery, although her womb ruptured and the kittens did not.
-
Fortunately she didn't do it in that condition and has now been spayed, however at 16 years of age she is now getting more unsteady on her feet and has been known to attempt to jump from a lap to a table and fall short.

For the first six months I was convinced that it was a soft toy that someone draped over cars - it never moved, just slept. More recently it has taken to sitting in the middle of the road watching cars trying to get around it.

Awww! He is a photogenic cat!
-
Is he cuddly? He looks cuddly.
-
He is very disappointed every time I put the laptop on my lap, and as soon as I put it down, he takes its place.
-
The last 4 cats my brothers have had all hid for a week so I think he must like you if you're getting laps already!
-
I love the fact that he has his own place mat.

Aw he's so adorable!

Marcel Kitteh, anyone?

Pete is adorable! I love the neatly placed paws in the last shot. Squee!
-
Come on, he lives in Edinburgh, not Glasgow ::-)
He does have a placemat, but he sees it as a thing to scatter biscuits across, and once they're on the mat, he can't possibly eat them.
I got him the igloo bed you see in the background, and that was as close as he ever got to it. So I took it back and changed it for a hooded one and he ignored that too.

Cat paws.
Is there anything else in the world better to look at?

Baby human paws. It's all about the opposable thumb action (sorry, barakta).
On the subject of cat beds, there's a hefty location, location, location factor. Floor level is cold and rubbish. A good view of the room is essential. Heat sources are always a plus. Randomly inconveniencing humans is a bonus too. So where you think is a good place for the cat bed and where the cat is interested in sleeping don't always line up...
I've yet to meet a cat that didn't like those radiator-mounted snuggle cat beds, though size and number of cats trying to occupy them simultaneously can be an issue. Cat bed on the far side of the kitchen always went down well with my parents' cats: They'd have a nice warm vantage point to lazily observe what was going on, and as a result tended to get under feet less when cooking was in progress (they soon learned exactly when to leap down and start nagging, though).
-
That's a cat who knows he's arrived. :) Lucky wee chap. Love the belly!
-
What a handsome chap!
He looks a lovely cat and lots of belly exposing hopefully shows he is pretty comfortable around you.
-
He was showing me his belly the first day we met at the shelter. It's either his preferred sleeping position or he just really likes me.
-

I can show you a few, as well as avoiding those heated cat bed things too.

Uhoh. Talisker used to regularly end up with a bandage wrapped around his leg, when he had a blood test. I was always impressed with how easily it came away from his fur, it's a material actually designed for cats and dogs (and presumably other fluffy animals).
-
Mmm yes it's weird stuff, sticks to itself but it's not sticky. She wasn't very impressed about us cutting it off just now, poor wee toot.
Back to the vet on Thursday for another blood glucose (being as she's had no insulin since last Tuesday). At least that's what the appointment is for at the moment, bit of a fluid situation :-\

Not my cat, she is the work cat. She was born there and was untouched by any human for the first 2 years of her life. She is fed and watered but she hunts for a living. She kills a lot of rats and mice. She will now let only 4 people get near her and touch her. She does now come and greet the people she likes in the mornings. Some days she will find somewhere to lay and watch us working. When she was 2 y/o she cut her leg and as she wouldn't let anyone to touch her. She was caught with the aid of a fishing landing net and taken to the vets. She had her leg stitched and was spade at the same time. It then took her a couple of years to decide some people aren't all bad.

Wonky was cute in a bonkers sort of way. :-*
I don't think it's fair to get another kitty right now what with Mojo being effectively both deaf and blind now - just making his way round The Igloo is an undertaking.
I may well be in desperate need of a lap, but I reckon Mojo's needs are greater than mine :-\

We got bad news this morning. She had been causing concern recently as she was sometimkes unsteady on her feet and occasionaly couldn't stand. The staff were worried about a virus or infection but the vet was unable to diagnose. On the vets last visit, Meisie died. Susbsequent post mortem revealed a brain tumour. Our beautiful lady has gone :'(

For a change from Kai and Zev, here's one of the neighbouring cats. who I often walk past on my way to Sainsburys (only a hundred feet or so from my house).
(http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/xanthus/Random/LocalChunkyCat20140921_512.jpg) (http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/xanthus/Random/LocalChunkyCat20140921.jpg)
He (or she) is much bigger than Zev and Kai, I'd reckon on him being 7 or 8kg, although I haven't picked him up to make an estimate. Unlike Kai, who is a lot of long fur, this cat is very solid, with a short coat.
For all that he's quite possibly the local bruiser, to humans he is quite friendly, and always happy to be petted, often giving a small friendly "meow" in response. There's a slightly smaller and less sociable black and white cat, that I think is a fellow house cat, since they're often in not very close proximity!
Today he was draped across that gateway post, a couple of houses down from where I think he lives (and where his colleague was relaxing in the driveway), his head popped up when I stopped to scratch his ears and say "hello" to him.
-
... and just to address the lack of Zev-ness. Zev, last night, just after she came in wet due to a passing shower, and stopped on the bed to wash and dry herself off.
(http://jakal.sp.ph.ic.ac.uk/~timo/xanthus/Zev/WetZev20140920_512.jpg)
With this effect! The cats actually have a door mat on the cat flap, and the bedroom is about as far away from the cat flap as it's possible to get in the house, so how does Zev still manage to get to me with wet and muddy paws? :)
It was actually worse than this photo suggests, but it's been taken off now, and put into the laundry (which was due to happen anyway).

The BBC, knowing they're onto a good thing, have done a extended version of their domestic cat tracking programme from last year. There are three episodes on iPlayer (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04lcqvq/episodes/player) if you haven't seen the catpr0n already, and some of it is even interesting.
Anyway, I was working my way through the second programme, when they inexplicably cut to a picture of Benedict Cumberbatch:

Following the sad demise in January of our elderly cats Tigger and Simba we recently got a couple of rescue kittens. They are brother and sister Barry and Isabella. Barry is all black and his sister is mainly black with some white, largely symmetrical markings.
They are about 15 weeks old now and quite a handful. Isabella has already made inroads into her 9 lives by falling 12 feet down our stairwell onto a hard floor. Cats of this age are not guaranteed to land on their feet ::-)

Oopsie. When I got Talisker from the Blue Cross, he came complete with a short period of Insurance (a month I think), which was obviously a marketing ploy by the insurance company involved. Potentially useful nevertheless.
I guess your two came from a less regular source? Since Zev and Kai were basically courtesy of YACF, I had to do all that independently too, and they immediately cost a small fortune in checks, vaccinations and being spayed and neutered. Not too many problems since, thankfully.
I hope Issy is getting better, it sounds relatively minor.

They are being looked after by PetPals this weekend. I hope they are behaving themselves!

Early last week Barry and Isabella, our kittens, were diagnosed with cat flu. The vets think that their mum, a stray, had flu and passed it onto them and the underlying virus was triggered into action when they had their first jabs. On Tuesday evening Barry was a very poorly cat and we were very worried.
But, thankfully they both seem to be bouncing back probably cos they are full of drugs! This weekend they have been extremely naughty and full of beans which is lovely to see. Latest photos, Barry first:

Isabella, fast asleep and twitching:
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l160/stevenr_01/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps276c824d.jpg)
They are about twice the size of when we got them. Despite being a smaller animal Issy is now slightly heavier than Baz, possibly because the flu hit him harder.

These are her brothers and sisters. For a week or two we contemplated taking on another one to keep her company as she was a bit quiet and probably missing them , but she has perked up recently and started eating.

That article does need to sort out its probabilities though.
Headline sentence: p(male tortie): 1 in 400,000
Body text:99.96 are female, therefore p(male tortie): 1 in 2,500
I suppose all cats are "one of world's rarest" if you work your way down the list far enough.
Nice cat though.

They've got quite similar markings, you'll have fun telling them apart at Mach2!
Great kitties, and many commisseratinos to Cycleman for his loss. Been there too many times, and will do again. When Tirion went, Baggins was instructed he had to last till at least 20, preferably 25. He's currently 13, and looks and acts asd if he's about 2. Bloody brilliant cat (but I wish you'd stop yelling at me so loud, when you want a brush!).

Our kittens are now back to full health with the minor exception of Barry's eyes which are still a bit weepy. He'll be going in shortly to part company with his bollocks so the plan is he'll be getting his tear ducts flushed out.
Meanwhile, Twinkle Toes the Teenager found her Build-A-Bear clothes so dressed up the cats. Here is Barry wearing floral pants, he wasn't impressed:

As well as being impossibly cute The Hooligans are also impossibly naughty. They enjoy having a good dig when they have used their litter tray, those poor people in Australia must be wondering where all the cat poo is coming from. Here is the aftermath of a particularly enthusiastic session:

I've seen similar devices for mobile phones. To charge your cat you simply place it on the mat, there's no need to plug it into a charger anymore. Clever tech.

Only works if your cat has a USB port though.

And it has to be a Windows cat.

You've got an out of focus cat from Amazon? Easy, send it back, their returns policy is quite good.... ;D ;D
From personal experience, that sort of mog photo is frequently out of focus, unless you are really well prepared with focus tracking engaged. I've got loads like it, where they've lunged at the camera with a silly expression, I even get swans doing it to me now.
-
I suspect less out of focus and more movement during shutter operation, which is always a risk in a dim room when avoiding flash.
-
Are you sure they haven't sold you a fox of some sort?? They might be in an adjacent bay in the warehouse.

Barry and Isabella love cat litter bags as well. We cut air holes in the bottom as they like to sit on the open end whilst their sibling is in the bag. We also cut the handles off after Barry (not the brightest cat) got a carrier bag handle round is neck and ran around the house in a blind panic until he was cornered and sorted out.
-
That wasn't a blind panic. That was his secret superhero identity!

That wasn't a blind panic. That was his secret superhero identity!
Actually from what I could see as he passed me several times on the stairs doing about Mach 2 the Super Dry carrier bag did look very much like a cape - orange it was. It took me about 5 minutes to corner the silly bugger and it felt like his little heart was about to burst out of his chest.

Cats, go figure. ???
Went to put some rubbish into the bin outside the house and ended up talking to a new neighbour across the road for 15 minutes.
Unfortunately I didn't lock the door and upon re-entering my house there was a cat strolling on the sofa like it owned it. I screamed
and chased it out. I was fearful that it may have left its "calling card".
(feel free to report me to the rspca) ;)

The expression on that cat's face can only be duplicated by a Tory MP. Chase it out of the yard with a (water) pistol ;D

Definitely a 'What are you doing in my garden' look.

Apparently they have met Fenella (named after the witch), the black cat from next door, who has assumed ownership of the CrinklyYard since the CrinklyCats moved to Hertfordshire and who occasionally decides to try and wander into the house. It seems that the meeting was not amicable!
-
It's very likely that they is a she.

No pictures- but the resident cat's morning routine has started to look like this:
Follow fboab into bathroom
Watch fboab sit on the toilet while [cat!] drinking from the sink
Smirk at fboab on the scales
Snooze on fboab's stinky gym kit while fboab showers.
The creature isn't right in the head.

Certainly not right in the heads.
Yours, etc.

A new (probationary) resident at Granny Annie's was somewhat taken with her first glimpse of the ultra-widescreen kitteh TV. Permanent residency to be contingent on how formal introductions with the resident hounds progress; first contact has been made, apparently with some very wide eyes and a some (kitten) growling involved. She's a little battered - the vets think she may have had an argument with a car - but a very amiable wee thing.
-
Aww.

His left eye is often a bit gunky as the cat flu he had when he was a kitten has left him with a dodgy tear duct. The vet tried flushing it out when he was debollocked but to no avail.
He and Isabella are doing very well. We let them out a bit now and they enjoy the garden. But they seem genuinely bemused by birds, you can see it in their faces ... "How the hell can you fly when we can't? That can't be fair can it?"

Aww :(
-
Awwww. Why the cone of shame? :(
-
They got spayed today.
They're supposed to be resting. So far they've done nothing of the sort, and Pumpkin managed to break my bedside lamp almost as soon as they got home. Presumably due to the sudden widening of their heads.... I blame the pain meds. My previous cats didn't get anything to my knowledge and just laid quietly for 2 days.
They don't seem to like the look of each other with the cones on. Can't believe they're supposed to wear them for a fortnight!
-
Cone of shame stops the whiskers doing their thing. Some cats really don't handle that well (see also: singed whiskers).
-
You could try one of these https://thrivepetfoods.com/problem-solvers/comfy-collar-page
-
Drinking water didn't seem to go so well judging by the collateral damage. And I just had to shove Pumpkin's head back in cos her ears were poking out the back of the collar!
-
Realistically speaking 1 week should be enough- cats skin heals very quickly and when I actually use skin stitches in them (which I generally avoid) they are removed in 7 days.
Cats who chew their wound and remove stitches generally do so within the first 3-4 days of the op.
But obviously you have to listen to what your vet has told you as you may otherwise get the blame if they do bad things to themselves :-\
-
According to the letter they have dissolving stitches. Looks like they've been glued up because there's nothing to see. I doubt the collars will last longer than a week anyway judging by the state of the ties already!
-
My vet never supplied, or suggested anything for either Kai or Zev when they were "done". Kai was done as an adult male cat, and Zev as a 6 month old female kitten. As I recall, I kept Kai in for a day or two, as you would with a human that had been under a general anaesthetic (OK, not kept in, observed, but you know what I mean!). Zev was kept in the spare room for most of that time, as she had been for the first 6 months, when she wasn't wandering around the house with Kai.
Both were fairly active, as I recall, although I'd imagine keeping them indoors would be a good thing.
I'd imagine that both eating and drinking could be a bit more difficult with the 'cone of shame' on, unless you've got something like a spaniel bowl.
-
Pippin didn't have a CoS and she was fine. Our present pair haven't shown any sign of wanting to lick their wounds. They do seem to have itchy necks though, they are loving neck scratches from us at the moment!
-
Cone of shame stops the whiskers doing their thing. Some cats really don't handle that well (see also: singed whiskers).
When Bad Cat knackered her back paw and had to be sewn back up she was dressed up in a shame cone. It didn't last the evening owing the trail of destruction she left behind, the fact that one of her attempts to remove it involved falling down the stairs backwards, and the second found her caught between chair back and table edge.
She is currently eating my swimming trunks. Nice.

They are coping OK with their collars now. Ninkasi was a lot happier once we trimmed her collar back so that it was the same depth as Pumpkin's (dunno why they put the larger collar on the smaller cat) and they seem to have stopped being frightened of each other now which is good.

We went to visit Grandad Bill in the home to prove that we had indeed safely touched down and were back, then went on the way home to see Granny Annie back at the ancestral manor where the SmallestCub discovered the way to the newest resident's heart is through her stomach...

Meet my good friends Chuck (background) and Norris-
(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b360/mattlangridge/DSC05454.ARW.jpg) (http://s23.photobucket.com/user/mattlangridge/media/DSC05454.ARW.jpg.html)
Both are just about 3 years old and were raised from young cubs at the cheetah sanctuary we voluteer at. They came to the sanctuary at less than a month old and were hand reared by one of the workers. We first met them when they were nearly a year old. By then they were the size of great danes but not as stocky as they are now. They hadn't develpoed manes but were getting a bit scruffy around the shoulders.
Unlike with the cheetah we can't enter their enclosure as they are too boisterous and would cause serious damage without meaning it. They do like to rub up against the bars of their gate for a good scratch behind the ears and under the chin. Chuck also like to nuzzle and lick knuckles.
They are getting of an age where they are developing their 'voice'. Going off to sleep listening to the guys 'huhnering' and groaning and trying to roar is quite special. A guy who works at a reserve says he can har them of an evening and he is over 5km away :D
The sad thing is that Chuck and Norris were originaly the property of a canned hunting farm- an operation where the lions are raised by humans so become accustomed to them and don't steer clear. They are then released into small reserves (very small, probably about the size of an urban park) where rich folk pay top dollar to look for them and shoot them. not hard when the area is restricted and the 'prey' doesn't do a runner >:(

Looks remarkably like Fred who visits us from a couple of doors down (getting a rep for wandering into houses, but not 'terribly' friendly, he's all mouth when he growls at you though, part ragdoll so you pick him up and he just flops, while growling, very odd combo).

Thanks, I had no idea if they'd be sharp as the light was going and its a new camera I am getting used to. If I'd got any closer they'd have been off and away.

Bagel (née Mabel) the cat I'm looking after this week, along with her Guinea Pig and Degu colleagues (who are both safely ensconced in cages, away from her paws and teeth!).
That is the only in focus photograph from 48 that I took last night! A totally black cat, and the response time of a phone camera don't help much when trying to get a decent photo. ;D

Black cats are really difficult to photograph well.

Black cats are really difficult to photograph well.
Unfortunately, the only non-black cat I've needed to photograph, Kai, only deigns to be anywhere near the house about once a month, and rarely when I've got a camera of some sort immediately to hand!
Talisker was entirely black, Zev is about 95% black, and my occasional charge, Bagel, is apparently black except for about eight hairs, which I've yet to spot!
With the mobile phone camera, it works OK if I turn the flash on, but that also needs an entirely stationary cat, which Bagel rarely is!

Round at Granny Annie's, Mavis is doing rather well. Four feet on the table - that was always against the rules. She doesn't seem to care :D And she's getting very brave around the dogs!

I see NO feet on the table.
Cat logic states that if I am not allowed on the table/ sofa/ shelf, wotever, as long as I am on something that is resting on the banned facility I'm roolz compliant.

Also, cats are like parked cars, in that Enforcement can't infer that they've walked across the prohibited area in order to get there, since they may have levitated or quantum tunnelled or something.

This is one of the neighbours cats, who will often say hello to me on my way past to the supermarket.
He may look small and cuddly, but he's slightly larger than Zev and a lot more solid! Zev will sway a bit when you pet her, but he doesn't move in the slightest. :)

Actually it is the cat version of a VERY special martial arts move known as the five point paw exploding fur punch. That kitten will walk five steps and fall asleep.

Went to the local SPCA to *just have a look* and ended up putting in an application for this girl
(http://bcspcapets.shelterbuddy.com/photos/lostfound/doc_431566.jpg)
Should find out tomorrow...
Hana was boarding most of November at the her 'parents' place and besides having 5 danes, they also have 5 cats and she did marvelous with them, which prompted this decision.
Part of my would have preferred to take one of the older cats, as they have a harder time getting adopted, but they're also harder to convince to co-exist with a dog....(And my wife fell in love with this one).

Aaaah, uber cute!
How old is she? She doesn't look overly kitten like, but clearly not a fully adult cat yet. I'm guessing 3 to 4 months old?

4 months old (they think). Unfortunately, she went to the other couple :/. I've found a different cat specific organization that doesn't seem as busy as the SPCA and put in an initial application there.

They are of a much higher quality than some of the 'cats on glass tables' fodder!
Our attempt was somewhat less artistic- Simon photobombed Kiri's picture and the image composition left a little to be desired. Sadly we will never get a chance to get a better one :'(

Here are a couple of pictures of my Cat Fran as "Sky-Cat" Saturday, having climbed the ladder (thin wire-rung ladder you see at the left there - he prefers the ladder to either the plank I laid up last year from the roof-edge down to a safer elevation to try and coax him down [with the Cat-treats!: furr-get-it!, he said, until finished] or the more 'natural' downed spruce tree leaning against the roof behind it) to get on the roof of the semi-abandoned house across my little road:

(http://hujev.net/image/cat/med/zcr_8152395.jpg)
(that's an overgrown rooftop garden there, plus the views of course -- so obviously a Cat place. Under the nearby sauna is his favo(u)rite hunting spot too, and lately I've been commandeering the sauna itself a few times a week)
In case those don't work, and/or to see more of the same (climbing, the full story, his fluffy butt, etc.):

ps - I've fallen into a bit of a thing posting mostly Cat pictures here at yacf (some on the biscuit thread too I think)... have gotten interested in tricycles recently so doing most 'cycling' posts over there... But here are some pix of my new Sayles/Woodrup touring frame in attempt to retain my velo-credentials:

Is that a kitten, prey with the same colouration, or a long fluffy tail in front of her front paws?

Whilst we are doing cats in nip...
This was 2 summers ago, before I'd realized what extraordinary measures I had to take to protect Fran from the catnip (when he was a barn cat he ignored the wild catnip!). First I tried balancing the catnip-pot on top of a door on a shed:
(http://hujev.net/image/cat/med/czrP6064476.jpg)
(As Mr. Q looks interestedly on)
[/many other variants tried with little or no success throughout the summer - the summer I learned Fran's good with ladders/]
(http://hujev.net/image/cat/med/_8151990%20r.jpg)
(Later that same summer, after I'd settled upon a hanging pot [and learned not to leave the ladder nearby!] and I brought it down for a supervised feeding)

Unusually, Kai decided that he was willing to be a little friendly. These shots were taken with my Garmin Virb video camera, which is designed to focus on cars and so forth, not cats 5cm from the lens, hence some images are a bit out of focus!

The empty cat bed of doom (® Jaded) has been nagging me for too long.
Phoned a friend who breeds Ragdolls to tentatively ask if she was planning any more litters in the next 12 months.
She replied that she has 2 urgently needing homes as nearly 20 weeks from her last litter. They are absolutely gorgeous.
I am going to collect them next Tuesday ;D

I put a towel down, to go in the washing machine, a couple of weeks ago. Zev immediately claimed it, so I haven't been able to wash it, or use that stool since! It's her favourite location to sleep, when not at the bottom of the bed, waiting for me to get up and prepare her breakfast. :)
it's getting towards the point of becoming so heavily fur covered, that I'm going to have to wash it, and substitute one of Zev's own towels (she has a couple of old ones, that are normally used with the cat carrier for visits to the vet or cattery).

I had kitteh-sitting duties yesterday evening/this morning, which I simplified the logistics for by staying at said kitteh's house. So I woke up in the wee small hours with a very loud purr next to my ear, and realised that Mitzi had climbed onto the middle shelf of the bedside table next to me :)

Five weeks ago we got kittens, Daisy is now about 13 weeks old and Victor is about 15 weeks old. I say "about" as they were rescue kittens so we can't be sure. Although they are both tabbies they aren't siblings.
What they are is little buggers ::-) >:( ;D Some of the time they are like this ...
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l160/stevenr_01/Mobile%20Uploads/C3BF47E3-0EAC-43C1-90C7-821D1D164D8A_zps0uzklrim.jpg)
The rest of the time they are hooning around the house, climbing into and onto everything (it's incredibly how high they can jump) and fighting each other, quite often it seems like we are in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. We thought Isabella and Barry were hooligans when they were kittens a couple of years ago, they were nothing like Daisy and Vic are at the moment. Issy is slowly getting used to them.
Although we seem to spend our lives shouting at the kittens they are well loved and very cute. The next two photos were taken a few days after we got them.
Daisy who is the smaller of the two but the naughtiest ...

Apparently that's a normal thing that cats do after giving birth, so you can't read much into it. 5 kittens were confirmed by x-ray, but John reckoned it could be as many as 7 from watching them kick. It appears that's she's just given birth to a 6th (stillborn) while I wasn't looking, some hours after the others.
-
It looks like they're all fighting over the same teat. That white one is really stroppy!

It looks like they're all fighting over the same teat. That white one is really stroppy!
The first white one (who is now more accurately described as 'cream' having had a chance to dry off) was wriggling and clambering from the start. I reckon he's to blame for most of the visible in vivo kicking.
They're very energetic for newborns.
Oh, looks like another's being born!
ETA: Yep, it's a seventh, and it's alive. Hopefully she can stop now!
ETA: Another black one, female, 106g. She's discovered that Gaia has a SEEKRIT extra nipple (which is probably just as well).

Gaia the procrastinator has finally given birth. Baby kittens!
The kittens are now 20 days old, are over three times their birth weight, eyes and ears open, have achieved a basic competence at walking and are starting to show an interest in their surroundings. The white ones have developed points, and John has resorted to coloured backdrops in an attempt to persuade the camera's auto-exposure[1] to find a level where the black ones are mostly visible.
Their mother has returned to a reasonable size and is looking greatly relieved about it, but several weeks in a room at happy newborn kitten degrees Farenheit[2] has persuaded her that it's summer, and yesterday's floor-sweeping yielded a fluffball the size of her head. She has an affinity for smooth surfaces and when she's not with the kittens, she's usually snoozing on the scales.

Victor (in the foreground) and Daisy are now all growed up and allowed outside. Their integration into the local cat community has gone surprisingly smoothly (famous last words ::-) ) and given their capacity to cause utter chaos whilst they were confined to the house this has come as a pleasant surprise! This is probably due to them not being kittens anymore so they don't hoon around the place like furry whirlwinds - which is sad and a relief in equal measure.
Isabella, sister to the late Barry the Cat :'( , is now very much Senior Cat and enjoys certain privileges like being able to sleep on our bed at night. She is slowly learning how to tolerate the upstarts, long may this process continue.

I'm just amazed they aren't all trying to shove their faces into one bowl ! When both Kai and Zev were in the house together, I had to feed them simultaneously, so one didn't try and steal food from the other. ;D

They frequently do have three snouts in one trough.
They seem to get adequate food eventually. Blackie often holds back until the others have gorged themselves and left, then helps himself to a long, slow feast.
-
I remember when we had three cats and a two dish cat bowl. Two of them learnt the hook a paw in and drag the bowl to you trick. The third was the dumb bully who would suddenly realise there was no trough infront of her snout, look puzzled for a minute and then barge across to the bowl. Then the whole process was repeated as the bowl slowly moved across the kitchen floor.

Now 4 years old and sister of Barry who got run over in 2016 :'( Issy is very much the Senior Cat, does her own thing, quite difficult to photograph as she likes being outdoors even in winter when she grows a particularly thick coat.

Same age as Daisy but not related. Vic is an a dim, athletic but accident prone cat - not a great combination. He has fallen some height from a tree and we returned from holiday at the end of July to find he had a serious abrasion wound to his left flank. Consequently he spent all of August and some of this month wearing a Cone of Shame whilst living in a cage so his heavily stitched repair job had a chance to heal. Vic likes killing things, particularly pigeons, he dispatched another last night ::-)

Domino. The small, nervous one. Doesn't seem overly enthusiastic about meeting new humans (or royal weedings), but she did come and have a cuddle with with me yesterday, after extensive cat-chess on the previous visit:

I love the cat in the hat.

Her adoption of it is an excellent demonstration of the "If I fits, I sits" principle. By filling it with impressive amounts of cat hair she's provided an unnecessary second reason never to be a pillion passenger on Dr Biggles's motorbike.

There's a turf war going on for the top bunk.
Freya (of the freckled nose) won on Saturday

However, she wasn't moving before Christmas when twin sister Anja (of the dark nose) decided it was her turn

Aw nice torties. I was just observing tonight that after all the 'get a big tree, cats like to be up high', one of ours seems to show a preference for 'below'. Lying under a footstool, under the cat tree, under the bed.... And her sister would rather have a lap than a tree.
-
In my experience, cats really love being high up when their staff need to grab them to get them in.
-
Our cats mostly sleep upstairs overnight.
They seem very sensitive to anything that suggests one of us is going to be downstairs to give them FOOD and arrive in he kitchen when I do.
-
Lovely cat photo and lovely cats :)

Our two have a little bolt hole which is below - under the bed in the spare room. It's a favourite place, it's dark, sheltered and warm as its near a radiator so they have a basket each under there and can often be found if not squabbling over the cat tower downstairs.
We've been bullied since the summer by a young male Bengal who had amorous intentions living a few gardens away. He even attacked Mrs Trekker to the point of causing an infection in her arm when she tried to shoo him away. Fortunately (although not for their new neighbours) the family moved out over Christmas and our two are feeling all brave and adventurous again so we aren't seeing them as much all of a sudden.

We are in the process of adopting Bella, a 15-year old cat from the local animal rescue centre. Ms. P. sent me a photo during one of her visits today.
She is short of a few teeth but in reasonably good health otherwise.

Pumpkin & Ninkasi aren't what you'd call bosom buddies so we had to get a shot of this.
Ninkasi, on the right was there first. She was really not impressed when Pumpkin squeezed in beside her.

Bella settling in. She is quite playful for a 15-year old. I let her out by mistake the other day and she easily got over the 5-ft fence and disappeared for a short while (returning eventually from an unexpected direction).
She doesn't wake me up for breakfast before 6 a.m. and generally eats whatever I put in her bowl!

The cat watched all of the first half but left with 10 minutes to go to avoid the traffic no doubt. Leek won 3-1 if you are interested.

Next door neighbour has recently welcomed a bengal kitten. Beautiful thing with an amazingly long tail and is also extremely inquisitive. I have never heard a cat/kitten growl before, i.e. when looking at birds whilst having tummy tickled. I can see some difficulties arising in future, keeping him away from them.

OOh yes two kitties. I have a cat that visits my garden, usually to smell my washing, that looks like the cat in the bottom picture.

He turned up at our French place in spring 2018, we used to get lots of feral cats but he was a kitten we think was dumped. Used to follow us round looking pathetic.
Obviously it's not a good idea to encourage cats to stick around by feeding them.

a yowling from my lawn this morning revealed two cats that don't own me sitting having a staring match. The black one then went and sat in the rose bed for a bit, then a circuit of the house back to the raspberry bed where he resurrected the stare-down.

I kept doing that but then the kittens APPEARED and we felt we had to look after them.
They moved in uninvited and I didn't have the heart to turn them all out.
You have been warned...

It doesn't matter what it is and how hard/ soft/ squidgy/ lumpy/ comfortabl/ painful it is. If it is in a bag a cat WILL lie on it. To a cat, a bag of something is like a red button with a 'Do not touch' sign to us........

Cats sleep anywhere, any table, any chair.
Top of piano, window-ledge, in the middle, on the edge.
Open drawer, empty shoe, anybody's lap will do.
Fitted in a cardboard box, in the cupboard with your frocks.
Anywhere! They don't care! Cats sleep anywhere.

They are beautiful. I had a British Shorthair blue, called Milly, she was a very aloof cat but would sit on me if I was in pain. She died about three years ago. I miss her.

These two are quite friendly and very undemanding. They make great house cats. They belonged to my partner's mother who died last year (Covid) and very rarely went outside until they were 14 - spoiled rotten with freshly prepared chicken daily, etc. ::-) (they get what they're given these days ;))
They were therefore greatly surprised by anything flying or crawling when introduced to the garden - pigeons would send them scurrying for cover ;D. Happily, they are slowly adjusting to a more normal existence. They've even made friends with a local group of feral cats and seem to be able to stick up for themselves.

Milly came to live with me after her owners had a baby. She had been spoiled too and was a house cat. She would out into the garden to sit with me if I was outside but really ruled the house.

RZ is the feeding tube because he wouldn't eat?
Yes. He was very ill, and very ill cats become anorexic, so you have to keep them nourished while they get back in the habit of eating.

We have a part-time visitor, too - though she's the opposite and visiting less now it's colder outside, and is presumably staying in her actual home (same street, different block of flats) more. She was happy to test out our fleecy throw (though she prefers it when there's a nice warm human underneath).

Just had a visit from the blackest, slickest girl kitty in the world.
She checked out every corner of the house, had a good scratch of my carpets, and was a demon with the laser pointer.
I'm pretty sure she has fleas, as she's wearing a second collar and scratching a fair bit.
So sweet.

Pumpkin, Mighty Huntress had her first mouse of the season. She's spent *a lot* of time waiting at the mouse area.

As requested by Mrs Ping (http://"https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1241.msg2832610#msg2832610") (although I have intended to post some pics anyway) meet (yet another?) Sam:
He is a rescue, having been involved in a court case which took two years to resolve. He ended up being the longest serving feline resident in the shelter that anyone can remember. Also due to the court case, he's had to have a new name. We were told that the previous owners were keeping him in a crate in their kitchen, intending to breed from him. It is apparently very rare for the shelter to have pedigree cats. He is a Maine Coon (not that we have the paperwork to prove it). Some of you may remember we had a couple previously, but they died about seven and eight years ago. We have been cat-less for about five years.
He was a bit nervous when he arrived, but did explore his new surroundings.

He has looked outside, but not actually gone through the door yet (he has never been outdoors in his life, so we are taking things slowly)

Aw, he's lovely! Court case sounds a bit dodgy.

Some excellent floof there :thumbsup:

I believe that Maine coons are one of the few cat breeds that like water. A very fine looking feline 🐈 😍
-
Maine Coons don’t actively seek out water like Turkish Vans who will even swim.
The Coons have a double coat, with a waterproof outer layer and a thick inner insulation. Sam is in his summer coat at the moment so the inner layer is match reduced.
Our old pair would happily go out in the rain. They just don’t seem to notice the wet.
-
I would love to have a maine coon.
You are doing very well getting him so settled so quickly.
(instead I have an insane tiny tortie, who likes nothing better than sitting out in long grass in the rain)
Did once own a York Black Cat (while they aren't a breed, they do seem to be common in York) who swam voluntarily. Sometimes to hunt (ducks!) and sometimes just to get on/off the barge.
-
My theory is that cats - much like humans - like water when it's on their own terms. So if they're going fishing or playing with a running tap or pretending that they meant to do that after falling in the bath, it's all fine. But if it's raining when they want to go outside or you try to wash them or something, it's the worst thing ever.
Unlike humans, long hair makes it easier for cats to ignore rain.
-
He does look like a big fluffy, and very relaxed, cat. :)
I think long haired cats are a bit more work than a random domestic short-hair, since they do need more brushing. Kai wasn't keen on brushing, so I didn't do it a lot, and ultimately he wasn't keen on living here at all, so that became a mote point.
(He must be quite elderly now, but the neighbours who he adopted have since moved, so I don't know how well he's doing).

These are my sister's cats. Meercat (with the eyebrows) looks a bit drawn but he has not been well (https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=42883.msg2847071#msg2847071). Fortunately he seems to be doing much better than expected :thumbsup: His sister Blackie (the erm black one) looks on in a concerned manner.

The photo reminded me of something and it took a while to work out what it was. Is it just me or are they doing an uncannily good job of replicating the positions and facial expressions in American Gothic?

Gosh, it's probably a trick of perspective or something but Meercat's eyes look really widely spaced.

This is the glorious Khan. He's visited us several times, learning his new, wider domain. Our Effie is his sister.

Needs to concentrate on the rabbits though.
