First two pictures I took of her, I'll post more in a day or two after she's calmed down.





(Update)

Just took this picture of her relaxing in a box.

1. I hate to break it to you, but I'm pretty sure that's not a raven.

The raven, Corvus Corax, can be distinguished by its heavy curved beak and fan-shaped tail.

I think that what you have there is some kind of mammal; probably a housecat, felis domesticus.

3. Smart alec.

5. Three friends of a friend used to have cats called, respectively, "Mouse", "Cat" and "Dog". N.T.

17. I have some friends who named their

rooster Colonel Sanders and their hens Regular and Extra Crispy.

[Ms. Toad]

34. Haven't been around poultry farming much, have they?

Far more roosters end up as regular and extra crispy than hens...

Hens earn their keep by laying eggs, until their egg production decreases - by which time they are more fit for chicken noodle soup than frying.

Roosters, on the other hand, have very limited use beyond belly filling.

Just sayin'

[Skidmore]

39. Actually, we are a farming village.

The wife in that pair just has a twisted sense of humor.

14. That's a helluva thing to say about Will Pitt's mother.

16. "Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!”

Quoth the Raven “Meow”

Doesn't provide quite the same shudder.


Glad Raven is home!

Took pic of friend's cat playing w/ catnip toy. Flash on 1 eye not just glowed but shows long spikes of light. 'this is your cat on nip' Wish I could fig out how to post pix w/ this ancient (5yo) phone...

Thx to Spitfire of ATJ, I think I can post pix! Let's see if it works (test seemed to)

[Spitfire of ATJ]

32. Send the pic to your email account. Works on my old flip phone.

[Panich52]

36. How to get it from email to DU post?

Sorry. I can get dense about this stuff. I chk'd 'help' & it said I needed URL f/ the pic.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. She's home?

Pardon my asking but where was she and how long was she gone?

She's beautiful and I'm glad she is home, I just don't recall why she was not home.

[Archae]

29. Picked her out at the Humane Society last Saturday.

She's now all fixed up, and spayed.

And is she playful!

[2naSalit]

30. Oh! What sweet story

for a sweet looking kitty. Thank you for giving her a forever home!

[Panich52]

26. Glad she's back! Black cats have special place in my heart

[stage left]

28. What a gorgeous cat!

Of course, to me, all cats are gorgeous.

[libdem4life]

31. Ha...first look at photo 3 looked like a TV in the box...and she seems to be watching it.

Lucky kitty in more ways than one! Okay, I now see that it's a part of the box or something, oh well.

[Liberal_in_LA]

35. sweet cat

[Rhiannon12866]

37. Awwww! What a beautiful kitty! And I understand the challenges of taking pix of a black cat...

I have one, too, found him an a grocery store parking lot last summer. He was just a little thing, the vet said about 7 weeks, but he's growing up to be a lovely cat. My friend in rescue suggested using a red background, but I'm lucky when he holds still long enough for me to take a pic, LOL. Raven is not only beautiful, but is so very lucky to have found you! Looking forward to seeing more pix...

Meet Felix:
