Did you scroll all the way down to the bottom of that page...to the "Cat Found" sign? :smile: I think Evo's Dr. Foofer is up to pranks again! :smile: (I really hope it's just a joke and nobody was that stupid.)
Dr. Foofer could be in violation of the Mann Act - transporting possums across state lines for nefarious purposes. :rolleyes:

Some people may not understand the difference between a cat and a possum. Afterall a mammal is a mammal - not that they would know the term necessarily.

Domesticated rats are very cuddly and like to lick you. My friend's son (whose daughter was in my chipmunk pictures) had a rat when he was a kid, and he named it Al, after his grandfather. The rat loved to be held, and even if he didn't know you from Adam, he would climb to your shoulder, snuggle to your cheek, and lick your ears. The cat probably likes the company and the attention.

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:

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:

Andre, I love your son's kitties! They look like trouble :!) !

You bet,

I'll relay the first days disasters in a while.

Oh, those are adorable! Is that the mom? She's a beauty.

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:
