My brother kept rats. And they were very friendly.

I just prefer larger friends.

Aww...that made me think of Ivan and Tsu's new kitty. Though, the little fellow in that video didn't look like he wanted plain water in the bottle so much. I think he just wanted to play with the bottle while waiting for the milk to show up. :biggrin:

I think I hear an itty bitty motor running. :smile:
Look at those sweet, fat little toes - like little champagne grapes! :!)

Wonderful pics Andre.

In the bottom picture, I think the hat is too large. :smile:

Actually the girl wearing the too big hat is the steph mom or nanny. These two little ones are orphans, rescued from some nasty place. it is told that she routinely takes care of the homeless until the foster parents show up.

That's heart warming. I had a hen like that - as soon as she heard a little chick "peep" she would spead her wings, and all the chicks would run under her. Then she'd close her wings and that would make the adoption final!

I just noticed that in the first picture, the whiter kitty has little black spikes on its ears - they look like horns :devil: !

That be a cow kitty. moo.

My friend had a cat with that kind of pattern who grew up to be a huge 22-pounder. I can't remember the cat's name, but it was the Japanese word for cow. :cool:

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. :smile:

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. :rolleyes: 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.
 
  • #289
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.

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.

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."

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".
