Obligatory Saturday's Cat Thread. There's no way around it! Post away!

1. Gorgeous cat.

Burmese, right?

But here's Erin and Lucky doing what they do best. :-)

[swag]

2. Oh, no. Now there's Saturday cat-blogging too?

[Call Me Wesley]

6. Whaddaya think? Does anything else really counts?

Is this yours? She/he is a beauty and looks very serene here. :thumbsup:

[swag]

15. Cat-blogging speaks volumes. Everything else is bullshit.

Thanks for the kind remarks about Chevrolet.

I have been told that this pic shows the darker, Cheneyesque side of Chev:

[Call Me Wesley]

20. Totally agreed.

Is he a fighter?

Here's Ginger's uncle:


Doesn't he look sweet in a shoebox? Awwww, kitty kitty! Touch him, and you're gone ... No blog will remember you.

[Ava]

57. LOL! Chev does look like cheney in that photo!

:spray:

[swag]

60. bettyellen suggested a domain name based on the cats who look like cheney

theme.

[graywarrior]

53. Really nice photo!

[Call Me Wesley]

4. Great happy cats!

Ginger does look like a burmese, but he's actually not. His mother is mostly grey, and the father was a wild cat around here. But somewhat old genes might have kicked in. When he was born, he was totally white.

Here he is with his brother (left) and his sister (right.) His sister looks like the mother.

[lizziegrace]

3. Widget and Gracie

[Call Me Wesley]

10. "Taking pics of us again. What? Do you get a kick out of it?

Look away and we shred your comforter in now time!" :rofl:

Gorgeous cats! Thanks for sharing the pic!

[lizziegrace]

12. Thank you

She's the original Lizziegrace. More attitude than one little seven pound cat should have. Widget's twice her size and more canine than feline. (Shhh...don't tell anyone I said that.)

[Call Me Wesley]

14. No worries,

I won't say a thing. :)

[terrya]

5. It just so happens that there's a pic of my cat, Chess, on my C drive

I went for "cute" in my first (and not only) pic of my kitty

[Call Me Wesley]

13. And you know why I started the thread,

your godson was asking for it! ;)

She's such a cutie! Thank you!

[terrya]

16. I know. And...here's another one of Chess!

And my godson gets what he asks for! :-)

Thanks

[Call Me Wesley]

21. Overload!

:) "Can yo make the birds come in? I really like them!"

Thanks again!

[jobycom]

7. Here is the sight that awaits me every day when I get home

[Call Me Wesley]

17. Awww. Home,

where the heart cat is!

That's a great picture to come home to. Ginger usually emerges from some bushes, stretches and then sits down, looking at us: "What did you bring home for me?"

:hi:

[Metta]

8. The only cats around here are the cool kind.

For us, daddy. Big hi. :hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

18. Of course!

You should have one too, my friend. Meditation will never be the same. ;)

:hi:

[Metta]

19. Uh, thanks.

I think even if I didn't have allergies to fur, I wouldn't have one. We never grew up with pets and they're just not on my radar.

All the best to you all. Please rub your cat on the head and give it my best regards.

:hug: :)

[Call Me Wesley]

22. I will.

I've learned a lot of compassion from this one. :hug:

[Metta]

25. I'm sure and a lot of flexibility as well.

Patience and tolerance come to mind as well. Kindness. Gentility. Yeah. Other beings are the opposite of going into the cave.

[Call Me Wesley]

32. I really think I have to start meditating again.

My flexibility isn't what it once was ...

[Metta]

64. "Do not think lightly of good, thinking 'It will not come of me ...'

For, even as a bucket is filled, if only drop by drop, so the wise ones fill themselves with their deeds." as close as I can remember, from the Dhammapada, the Way of the Dhamma.

[catmandu57]

9. An older and newer

[Call Me Wesley]

23. You still have both?

Showing the tummy is beyond pure happiness. :thumbsup: That's security.

[catmandu57]

27. Yes

The top one is momma catting, the widder catting, her hubby has gone to the great litter box in the sky, she's 16 and going strong.
The yellow boy is Sam, he's been with me for nine years now.

[Arugula Latte]

73. Camoflauge kitty!

Blending in w/ the carpet ... verrrry sneaky!

So cute!

[Kali]

11. Plate of shrimp:

see this

[Call Me Wesley]

24. LOL!

I saw it before. Be very, very careful. That's not an easy job. :rofl:

[Bill McBlueState]

26. Chora

She looks calm here, but she's a loud, pushy kitty.

[Call Me Wesley]

29. Well, you have to rest between the loud and pushy moments.

Gorgeous kitty! :hi:

[havocmom]

28. Some great video clips

http://www.jimmyr.com/blog/Funny_Cat_Videos_191_2006.php

That fourth one- talking cats- reminds me of two cats in my past. One said Hello, only HE stood over the phone when it rang to say hello. One said momma clear as a bell.

There are funny cats. Tuck the link away for a day you need a smile

[Call Me Wesley]

31. Thank you!

There were a few I haven't seen yet. :hi:

[Roon]

34. Here is another adorable kitty video

What makes this video so cute is you can hear the owner laughing and enjoying his cat!
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/2006/01/barkingcat.html

[Call Me Wesley]

36. Thanks again.

That's the killing sound they made if they see a prey from afar. Ginger's sister does it from a mile away; and it's so loud the prey always hears it and is well prepared. :)

[Roon]

38. Cute! eom

[Roon]

30. Here are mine

Barney and Morrison. Morrison is part bobcat! :-o


My 21-year-old cat, Daniel. Her orginal owner thought she was male, until she had kittens. She'll be 22 in November!

[Call Me Wesley]

33. You're truly blessed.

22 is a great age for a cat. I hope you have many more years to enjoy her company! And the other two are great as well! :hi:

[Roon]

35. That is how I ended up with her.

my ex had her for 20 years, now it's my turn to enjoy her for the time she has left! :-)

[Call Me Wesley]

37. Might she have many years left

for you to enjoy! :hi:

[Roon]

39. I am hoping!

:-)

[pink-o]

44. Aren't most Calicos female??

I had a Calico decide that I was her person--it was 1979 and she was a little kitten. She found me right after a Police Concert, so I called her Regatta. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep her because the landlady lived above me and she was allergic. But I gave her to my sis and that cat lived till 20...she was all spit and vinegar, and honestly she never forgave me for giving her away--like I spoiled the natural order of things.

Miss Patty, the Bombay, forgives me everything I do that bugs her. She must have some canine DNA.

[Roon]

48. Yes, most females are calico

but remember, my ex was only 13 when he got her!

[barb162]

92. DARLINGS

[pink-o]

40. The Bombaby :-)

not too spoiled, is she???

[Call Me Wesley]

42. LOL!

What's her username on here? I bet she only posts in GD! ;)

[pink-o]

45. Actually, she blogs on Catster :-)

...but it's hard to translate the pawprints without a kitty rosetta stone!

[pink-o]

41. Here's another pix of the Bombaby

Her name is Miss Patty

[Call Me Wesley]

43. I only had one black cat so far,

his name was 'Macchiavelli,' and he died to early of an auto-immune deficiency. He was a great loving cat, and I still miss him.

[pink-o]

46. I'm sorry. Did he live up to his name?

I wanted to call mine Isis or Circe or something exotic, but the SPCA named her Patty, and she's too fat and too down-to-earth for a dramatic name.

Black kitties get hotter in the summer. Mine is asleep under the bed right now.

[Call Me Wesley]

47. He probably did.

Niccolò Macchiavelli might have written 'Il Principe', but he sure did nt live the life he described in it. In fact, he was a tender, intellectual guy who wrote poems and a great history of Florence. He just knew politics, and, to my very surprise, it hasn't changed much till today.

[havocmom]

49. Stumbled on this with my mozilla stumble on tool bar

Not unlike naptime at our house where the 90 Pound Hound and his protege catch some zzzzzs

[Call Me Wesley]

50. Sometimes. life is just good.

Nap time is way better! :rofl:

[NV Whino]

51. Miss Millie and Mr Grayson

Picked them up last Saturday... just in time for the gawd awful heat we are having. Grayson is currently in the bathtub (no water). Don't know where Millie is.

[Heidi]

67. They're _beautiful_, NV Whino!

Are they brother and sister?

:thumbsup:

[NV Whino]

71. No, two different litters

I was hoping for two from the same litter, but Grayson captured my heart immediately and only males were left from his litter. Millie was a pound rescue along with her brother. But I draw the line at too much kitty testosterone. So I ended up with two different litters.

I brought them home last Saturday and Grayson kept hissing his little "back off" message to Millie. Tuesday morning I was fixing breakfast with Grayson at my feet when Millie appeared in the kitchen. She hunched her back, puffed her tail and did the most amazing sideways, hissy hop you've ever seen. Just in case we didn't get it, she did it three more times. 15 minutes later they were playing the kittyanapolis 500 through the house, best of friends forever--as exemplified in the photo.

[Jazz2006]

52. Here are Simba and Duchess....

curled up on "their" chair with their fave kitty pillow

[Call Me Wesley]

74. The big one looks like one of my mom's cats ...

Thanks for posting! Gorgeous cats! :hi:

[Skittles]

54. my hairy bastid Riff Raff

[Call Me Wesley]

75. OHHH! HE'LL KICK MY BEHIND!

I'm sure! ;)

Great toy he has there! :hi:

[Skittles]

88. my cats had nothing to do with that cat house when I got it

they played in the box it came in for months though :o

[Ava]

55. skippy!

[Call Me Wesley]

76. Beautiful face!

Thanks for posting, Ava! :hi:

[flamingyouth]

56. Here are two of Cubby.

Even though we've provided him with basically the run of the house and a host of cozy cat beds, he likes to sleep on the hardwood floor. And, oh, once in this shoe box when I was cleaning out my closet. :eyes:

[Ava]

59. awww!

that first one is so cute! :D

[Call Me Wesley]

77. Ahh, hardwood floor! Shoebox!

I posted a pic of Ginger's uncle upthread, in a shoebox, too. Cat's minds work in mysterious ways. :hi:

[Arugula Latte]

91. OMG!

That blob of white filling out every corner of the box -- that is priceless! :rofl:

[graywarrior]

58. "Must I....again? Fool"

[Call Me Wesley]

78. "Ohhh, the camera again?

How would you feel if I take pics of you with squinty eyes and post them here?" ;)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

61. Milo and Jeoffry

doing what they do best.

[Call Me Wesley]

79. The art of relaxing, or

how much we could learn if we just tried once ... :)

[bluethruandthru]

62. Here are my furkids

Bubbles


Lucy


Shazzy


Ricky

[Call Me Wesley]

80. Great family you have there!

The first pic is just priceless. :hi:

[bluethruandthru]

84. Thank you!

That's Bubbles regular spot. She's a tiny cat and Lucy, the other female loves to pick on her. I guess she feels safe up high "in the trees"! :hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

85. Hopefully so.

A truly safe spot she has there. :hi:

[billyskank]

63. Ginger!!!

:loveya:

[Call Me Wesley]

81. Awwww, billy!

Thank you! :pals:

[RevCheesehead]

65. The wiley and most excellent boy cat!!

Binky and Oreo send their love! :loveya:

[Call Me Wesley]

82. The love is well received,

and of course, Ginger asks: "Is my godhuman still attracting mice with all this cheese?" :loveya:

[Heidi]

66. Sunday mornin' kitty kick!

Ginger, stalking one my paintbrushes



Lying in wait for the mailman.



"If you want the umbrella, perhaps you should try and take it."



Baby Ginger, with his brother, Barley (white), and his sister, Tabitha (gray).

[texanwitch]

68. Hi Heidi

Ginger isn't going to let that paint brush get away.

Little kitties are so cute.

[Heidi]

69. You need to post a photo of Lil Monkey!

:hug:

[yellowdogintexas]

70. how can TWAEBCNG live with himself, he is so gorgeous?

nice photos

[Heidi]

72. He's an only child.

Well, he has a brother (who lives with my sister-in-law) and a sister (who lives with my mother-in-law), but since we have no human children, for all intents and purposes, The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger is a spoiled, only child who knows no competitors. What Ginger wants, Ginger gets, I'm somewhat ashamed to say. Twice a day, I feed him strips of rare, bloody, deli roast beef from my fingers (the vet says less than 100 grams per day is OK). The up side is, he's better behaved and more socially adept than most human children. But beware if you're a female visitor wearing a skirt and lotion on your legs; you're liable to get a vigorous leg-lickin' from Ginger. This fetish of his has startled several of our female guests. :rofl:

[BrklynLiberal]

83. What a wonderful group of kitties. Here are some of mine.

Cassie and her German Shepherd, Boen


Cassie and her twin sister Polly


Cassie watching the birds

[Call Me Wesley]

86. Open the window! Open the window!

The birds want to play with me. ;)

I love the pic of Cassie and her Boen. People seem always to be surprised if cats and dogs go together so well. My sister, who's my neighbour, too, has two dogs, and whenever she goes on a walk, almost the whole cat family is following along with the dogs. It's always nice to see the people's reaction to it. Ginger loves to headbump her poodle. :hi:

[BrklynLiberal]

93. I have had various combos of cats and dogs for over 20 years.

They have always gotten along. Here is another pair from along ago.
This was Gemini(dog) and Lady(kitten) observing the world together

[bluethruandthru]

87. Cassie's watching "Bird TV"!

I keep a bird feeder right outside the window too so the cats can watch "Bird TV" anytime!

[barb162]

90. I like that back legd raped over the dog

[barb162]

89. Gorgeous cat in a gorgeous garden

I am emailing this to my firend who has 3 siamese

[BrklynLiberal]

94. Deserves a kick for those who missed it....
