Kitten Lovers: Cuteness Overload

[Astronuc]

That be a cow kitty. moo.

Don't you mean - mee-yooo. That's kitty for moo!

It's good to have a bilingual cat.

Great, awaiting the first bovine - feline dictionary

Talking about orphans from nasty places. Few years ago Junior brought such a cat home. Cat was just skin and bones, it was barely able to move. This picture was taken after several weeks, when it got stronger.

In a year or so it also got fatter.

Unfortunately later it got lost.

Here's a kitten practicing her hopping technique chasing this mouse. She scopes her prey from around the bend, a great tactical maneuver. All in all, she finds this mouse a bit baffling.

Oh jeez. How to Break up a Cat Fight. (Mildly gross warning, I suppose, if you aren't accustomed to the machinations and general body malfunctions of wee cats [and all critters, actually]. Don't watch this while snacking, eating lunch, or generally during food consumption.)

They stopped play fighting and just looked at that other cat like "wtf, seriously?...come on, really?..."

I've got to try that youtube embedding feature (how come it requres so much coding on our part?)

No doubt! Someone's got "more'n she can handle baby-wise". <- 2 points if you name the movie that's from.

Yup, nothing like teaching bad habits to a developing mind.

He's either planning to have it declawed eventually, or he is setting himself up for 10-20 years of continually having clawmarks on his hands and arms.

Nah, Ember plays that way and I don't get any claw marks...just teeth marks. But if she goes too far, all I have to do is hiss at her and she backs off.

I have to agree with you there, Redbelly. Too many people teach kittens that hands are playthings to bite, scratch, and attack, and then get pissed off with the cat when the cat continues that behaviour when they're grown and it's not "cute" any longer.

I had a beautiful three-year-old cat, who I adopted from the SPCA, who required some serious patience and retraining to get him not to bite and attack a hand when he was being petted. He was such a loving, great guy, but someone had taught him all wrong. At 16 pounds, it hurt when he attacked. But he was a good learner. Still. I can see all kinds of people giving up on cats because of that behaviour.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Eh, I agree with Moonbear. You can teach limits as well as behavior. But, part of the problem that I've seen [in myself as well as others] is that men esp will allow play that is way too aggressive. It may be an acceptable level of play for one person, but everyone gets ripped.

Related: Bun II was a stray cat that I picked up in a hotel. She was a great cat, but she was pretty wild and like to play reeeeeealy hard, which was fine with me. But, one day Tsu had the minister from her Presbyterian church over for coffee. When she - the minster - tried to pet Bun and offer a little play, Bun bloodied her hand! I mean she really let the minister have it. Tsu was embarrassed, and the minister was bleeding pretty good, so I explained that Bun was Catholic.

Awwww how cute! Nice action shot Andre!

 

[Borek]

Perfect one

 

[Evo]

My favorite cat when I was little would play rough, I allowed it since he was a kitten, he'd grab my hand with his front paws and kick and scratch with his hind feet. I'd have a swollen, bleeding, itching stump (I'm allergic to cat scratches). But he knew the difference between "play time" and non play time. Unless I attacked him with my hand and he knew it was ok to get rough, he was the most passive, loving cat on earth. He would climb on my shoulder and drool on my neck, I actually had to place a towel there to keep from getting drool soaked.

AWWWWWWW! Adorable kitty, and great photo of her in action. :!)

Well had to spend some time flat on my belly, but it worked.

Favorite hide out, on the chair under the table

Really? I thought it was sort of snotty looking. I picture the cat saying "I'm better than you and I'm not going to acknowledge your presence."

Well, of course! It's a cat!

What's the difference between a cat & a dog? A dog thinks about its owner: "He feeds me, he grooms me, he takes care of all my needs... He must be God". A cat thinks: "He feeds me, grooms me, takes care of me. I am God".
