Kitten Lovers: Cuteness Overload

She is just a doll! Nice that you have such a sweet animal friend.

These are two of my babies when they were younger. We call them sisters, but they're really not.

Thank you. She's my angel.

Ooh, how pretty! :!)

My baby doll..

Woot!

 

[Math Is Hard]

Woot!

Thanks.

I just realized that in this pic she looks like one of those "Munchkin cats" with the very short legs. She's not one of those, though. It's the angle, and her stockiness enhances the effect.

I love how she's looking right into the camera. That's a great picture!

We need some new Foofer pics. Fruit bat, too!

Are you looking for a date for Jelly, MIH? I know of a nice 1

I need to get a new camera. Foofer is hardly ever here anymore. I'll need to capture him soon for the move. He's going to be one angry cat when we move, he won't be able to roam outside anymore. The Child of Evo thinks he'll snap. Trapped in the house with the Fruit bat, and we know how the Fruit bat likes to drill holes into cat's heads. I will need to get a cat helmet made for Foofer. This is not going to be an easy transition.

 

[Moonbear]

Ooh, poor Foofer. We'll have to locate a tiny helmet for him.

Here's an Ember update. These were taken at the beginning of the summer, when she seemed to think her toy basket was an excellent place to sleep too (and you can see she's very grumpy when woken up by the flash ).

I can't believe she's already a year and 2 months old! Though, she hasn't outgrown attaching herself to my fingers by her teeth yet.

Greg also mentioned that his cat was looking for a girlfriend. Unfortunately, Jelly hates other cats, won't even tolerate them in her presence.

That's going to be tough for him. My first thought was one of these helmets, but considering it is made out of fruit, that is only going to drive the fruit bat wild.

Awww, Ember looks so soft. That basket is just right for her!

Moonbear, Ember has really grown into a beautiful cat!

MIH, I thought of the fruit helmet too, but then I remembered this

What cat wouldn't love to wear this?

You might be able to persuade a drugged or catatonic cat to get strapped into that, but if Foofer has any spirit, you'd look like hamburg after trying to apply that armor.

Moonbear, Ember has really grown into a beautiful cat!

And she knows it! Spoiled rotten! Too smart too...she's figured out all the loopholes in the rules around here. She's not allowed on kitchen counters, but has figured out how to leap to the top of the kitchen trash can and up onto the top of the cabinets, so she can check out everything going on in the kitchen without touching a countertop! She also knows that rules don't apply if the water bottle is nowhere near me. And, yep, her fur has stayed very soft, which is great, because she's just so fun to snuggle. We play fetch, tag, boxing, wrestling...nobody who meets her seems to think she acts like a normal cat (they think similar things about her owner too).

Wow! That's a cool set of armor! I'm not letting Ember know cats can have armor though...she just might want it for herself. She's already learned bad things from the other cats here. She never touched a Q-tip until someone else mentioned it here somewhere, and ever since, she has gone to great lengths to fish used Q-tips from the trash.

Can you imagine her tooling around with her real whiskers folded up in the helmet and just those falsies hanging out? All night long, you'd hear "clang - yeow", "clang - yeow" as she slammed into door frames, cabinets, etc. Imagine the yowling when she couldn't eat a little snack at night and decided to jump on your bed and head-butt you for attention...to be fair, it might be you yowling in this case.

Yeah, I noticed the fake whiskers, but figured I could pull his real whiskers through the holes.

Ouch, getting gored by an irate cat while asleep doesn't sound too enticing. Guess I will have to go with plan B. The hound helmet.

I would love to be there while you pull Foofer's whiskers through the gaps in that armor. I'm sure that it would be a "family moment".

I will refrain from dumping emoticons on this post so you can pretend to be "normal" on some level.

 

[Evo]

What's not normal about putting helmets and armour on pets?!??

MIH, Moonbear, tell him it's normal.

I don't make this stuff up, you know.

Somehow, I think that would be the selling point for Ember! At least she's gotten over her penchant for headboard diving...with my stomach as her landing pad. (Looks around to make sure Ember isn't reading over my shoulder and getting any ideas.)

Of course it's normal! I guess some people here didn't have "Action Cats" sets when they were growing up. Kinda sad.

Fruit Bat

By popular demand, here's the first picture of the Fruit Bat for those that missed it

and another one

 

[turbo]

Popular demand? At least that little rascal is a little more appealing than the murderers that cat-lovers inflict on small animals and ground-nesting birds by "letting them out" every day. How could I keep my "pocket pals" if these assassins were on the loose?

I don't hate cats, but I am intolerant of cat-owners who take the "easy way" out and let their cats slaughter wildlife so they don't have to tolerate their cats' destructive behavior indoors or change litter-boxes. Wild animals deserve a chance to live, too, and we need them.

Edit: when Astonuc and family visited, his daughter asked if a chipmunk on the patio was one of my pets, and I had to tell her that since I had started relocating the red squirrels, my buddies were so free of scars that I had a hard time telling them apart. I've lost a number of 'munks since then, and I'm afraid that a recently wide-ranging local cat has been killing them off.

Here is him having just woken from a nap:

Here he is sitting in the window bars looking outside :

Very pretty! Is she what they call a "pastel calico"?

 

[Astronuc]

Misty is a pastel tortoise shell. She showed up under our front porch on Halloween night about 4 years ago, when she was about 7 weeks old.

We had an older cat, Pepper, who was a tortoise shell - mostly black with orange/brown spots.

All of our cats have been strays, and we took in one stray dog. We have a Yorkshire terrier, Sassie, who belonged to my mother-in-law until she could take care of it.
