Oh goodness! That poor cat.
First, the owner is asking, "Did you have puppies?" Let's see, there's a cat, and bunnies in the video...a little confused mom?
Then, she's shoving the bunnies in the cat's face, and scolding the cat every time it thinks one might be tasty.
And at the end, she's busy scolding the cat for biting, while the bunny just climbs on its head.
When that cat breaks into the bunny hutch at night, I'm not blaming her for eating them all!

Pumpkin (calico) and Spencer (orange/marmelade tabby). Pumpkin is about 2 and Spencer is about 1 yr. Pumpkin was about 11-12 lbs then, and Spence was slightly smaller, but eventually grew to about 18 lbs, before we put him on a diet which reduced his weight to about 15-16 lbs.
Pumpkin came to us when she was a baby kitten (a few months old) after she and her siblings were abandoned. She just showed up outside our front door, and we took her in. Spencer was 10-11 months old when he showed up in the front yard of the apartment building where I took the picture. Noone claimed him, so he joined our houseld too. Eventually we had 3 cats and one dog, all of whom were strays or abandoned pets. We found others, but either found homes or the owners.

As opposed to ferrets, for instance, that make a hog-pile every time they want to snooze! How cold are your cats, Math Jeans, since you live in Phoenix?Math Is Hard said:It's amazing how much friendlier cats can become toward each other when the weather turns cool.![]()

I think I'll stick to nailing Jello to the wall. More rewarding, less angst.

The old calico I had had colors that were spots, these cats seem very symmetrical, perhaps you had one{skogkatt} too Astro.

Pumpkin's coloring was asymmetrical. One side of her face had more white, while the other side was more orange and brown. I'll see if I can dig up a picture, but those were well befor we went digital.hypatia said:How funny the ear hairs are. My Maine Coon has the long ear hairs that stand upright, while yours is more of a side sweep. What a beautiful cat.
