Cats Pepper & Pickle: Comfortably at Home

[wolram]

These are our two cats, the black one is Pepper, the other one is pickle as you can see they both make sure they are comfortable.
As you can see the pics are not very good as i am getting used to my camera.

 

[jtbell]

I hope the flash didn't wake up Pickle!

 

[wolram]

Dinner time is the only time pickle wakes up or perhaps a little hunting, apart from that she is either on her radiator bed or upstairs asleep on my bed.

The orange tabby and the black cat are the two most superior forms of cat. So, you have good taste, Wolram.

So you say, but here you are starting a thread about your cats. Admit it: you love them!

We had two cats like Pickle and Pepper. The orange tabby (male) was named Spencer, and the black tortoise shell (female, black coat with orange and gold) was named Pepper.

'She' - are you sure? Female orange tabby cats are unusual. Can you, erm, double-check the gender please ?

Both cats look healthy and comfortable, as cats should. They're beauties!

I heard once that the fur color is determined by a gene on the cat's X chromosome. A female may double the chance to be yellow or orange because it has 2 X's. This means there are still yellow striped male cats but they are less in number compared to the female population.

Fully agree!
For some strange reason, men are afraid to admit that they like cats.
But cats are so cool! I never liked them and considered myself a 100% dog person. But once we got Murko, a black male, I totally fell in love with him!
I just love their independence and their facial expressions. And their eyes, especially yellow eyes on a black cat.
When I cuddle with Murko, sometimes I call him my little Star-eye.
And when he was little I used to place him on my shoulder and pretended that I'm a witch lol. He is too big for that now, weep lol

My mistake i should have put he for pickle, pepper is a pain he all ways pinches my chair, it doesn't matter that he has two beds and three other chairs to sit in he all ways goes for where i have been sat. i do love them but i do wish they would not sleep on my legs while in bed.

Well now i am confused, i will have to get Kia to confirm what they are

Generally speaking, I have no use for dogs. There are individual dogs I've met who seem OK, but they're mostly too big, too loud, and too needy. I have always liked cats better.

Just about every cat I've ever had does that. They don't want the best seat, they want your seat!

I protest, the dog is mans best friend, before we all became to crumbly to walk dogs we all ways had one and they were all loyal and trustworthy.

I know, everyone loves dogs. I'm the exception.

 

[Sophia]

Dogs are cool, too! I don't think one is better than the other.
Dogs are great companions and helpers and they always show you love when you need it :) I love them, too!
Cats are great for just observing their beauty and guessing what they think. They are mysterious. I don't think they are evil at all! They just won't be your slaves. There are also many of them who are very gentle and kind. But at the same time, they remain wild and always prepared to protect their interests. Just magical!

 

[Lisa!]

pickle reminds me of my own cat.

 

[Tsu]

My Zoobie kitty is still with me. She's getting a bit old (kinda like her namesake ) but she does allow me to share my chair with her.

 

[Silicon Waffle]

I don't treat my pets as my slaves and would feed them daily, so I think they don't need anything more from me. To be sure, there are grumpy crazy cats.

Of COURSE you don't treat them as slaves, silly. YOU are the slave. Cats make sure their human slaves treat them VERY well.

You are right!
I have a headache and sometimes heartache when I hear the puppies barking for food or drinks.

 

[Tsu]

Drinks?? WOW! Like...martini's and gin and tonics?!?111/! COOL!

Dogs behave like slaves. We made them to do so. Incredibly boring! Cats have a personality and don't give ... about us. And they are still predators. Only thing dogs are still after is the next trash can.

 

[Tsu]

Dogs are AWESOME too. I want to get a Great Pyrenees. I think Zoobie would love that... (NOT!11!)

Do you really mean that this is what regularly happens in your area? Starving pets?

 

[Silicon Waffle]

Yes, it is very common to see a dog running around on the street. My pet isn't starving, she only needs food and cries noisily sometimes. At night she sometimes barks for it (her voice sure is different from that when she barks at strangers) and that makes me feel really bad. Something I believe is secreted or extracted in my stomach every time she does that for 10-15 minutes long without anyone visiting her place to offer her something to eat. True haha.

Wow, Do you really think she just barks for food? She needs you! She is a social creature and she needs other dogs, animals or humans to have a relationship with. How would you feel if you just got food and water but no one would spend time with you, being lonely all the time?
Im sorry if I misunderstood something and someone else is taking care of the dog. I really don't want to be hysterical and I hope that I just didn't understand correctly.
This also happens here sometimes. People have a dog, lock it in a cage or on the chain and just feed him. I really really see no point in having a dog like that. He can neither protect you nor have a relationship with you. It's just a waste of money for food. But fortunately, it may be illegal to keep a dog permanently on a chain. People are encouraged to take a picture or video of such cases and send it to authorities for investigation.
I personally would ban cages as well.
Oh ok, you got me, I confess! I am that annoying tree hugging animal welfare activist :-))) But I don't wear hippie clothes :-)

It depends, in my area that'll be no good . Some people might just pretend to be bitten or severely scratched by your dog to make you pay. Other cases include robbers or thefts who are ready to forcefully grab your dog away right in front of you and threaten to beat you up if you call or yell for help. They can sell your dogs to someone else as pets or for meat.

I could with a stiff GandT right now, may be we should re open the Tiki bar cheers Tsu.

What sell a dog for meat, if i had a dog it would be a wolf hound then we could sell the human for meat

It is all just a matter of culture, which animals are appropriate for food. In Western culture I think most of the animals we eat are herbivores or omnivores.
But dog/wolf is a carnivore. I don't know how would it taste...(not that I would ever try it, but that is just a prejudice). Have you every tried it, SiliconWaffle?

Not yet. But I will try it one day!

Bad Silicon waffle, bad Silicon Waffle you will be trying Bugs Bunny next Although there are stranger things to eat, like baked hedgehog, one bakes them in clay and all the spines come away with the clay when unwrapped, they taste a bit like chicken.

 

[fresh_42]

That's what I heard of rattle snakes, squirrels, guinea pigs ... Chicken seem to be the standard comparison to all.

 

[wolram]

Pepper has started bringing in worms for us , we had to refuse them we do not know how to cook them.

First you have to get a fish, a turkey or a chicken ...

What ? baked a hog in clay ? I've never eaten it myself. I hear people also bake chicken in tubes made out of bamboo trees.

 

[wolram]

Baked hedgehog, yum

They look like clean rats. I too think they will taste good. Many people in several rural areas in my country also eat rats and frogs.

No need for cooking :-) don't damage the vitamins!

Yep, French eat frogs, too.
In the past people ate a much larger variety of meats and fruits. Even 100 years ago. I looked at a cookbook written around 1900 and learned that our ancestors ate lamb, variety of game, pheasants, pigeons, other wild birds, snails, freshwater crabs. There was a huge selection of now forgotten local fruits that only a few people have now and it is impossible to buy them but old people still remember them from early childhood.
Now we only eat chicken and pork, only occasionally a fish or beef. And fruits? Just your normal supermarket selection.
We have tons of food now but I'm not sure about its quality.
This was off topic, sorry. :-)

The Tiki Bar! YES! I've missed the Tiki Bar. I'll pick everyone up in the Turbo RV and we'll meet you at the Tiki Bar. Load up everyone! Drinks are on Evo!

Thoughts were the days my friend i thought they would never end, the days when i could see my winkle , now all i see is my belly, beef up the suspension on the RV and pick me up at sunrise.

 

[Tsu]

What's HAPPENED to you Evo??! . There's no such thing as GERD in the Virtual Tiki Bar. Mix up some Margaritas! And above was supposed to read DUMBASS. Does this new format sport auto-correct??
