Never heard of them fortunately. I'm listening to Pink Floyd right now - that should clear it out. :oldsmile:

And here's another Science Cat At Work in the lab.

Let there be warmth. Let there be smiles. Let there be laughs. Let there be cats. :smile:

And another one... I wrote in a another thread a while ago that cats can be amazing jumpers. Here is one who seems to enjoy jumping. :smile:

My new female cat is quite a character. Well, frankly, all cats I've known are characters.
This one is a VERY cuddly and VERY talkative cat. One of my former cats were quite good at imitating my sounds, but this one is very good at imitation. Maybe I'll upload a video later when she imitates me.

And she is very funny when she wants to cuddle. She just THROWS herself down on her side beside me, and sometimes put one or two of her legs up on my body (see photo below). She also likes to rest with her head on my arm (see photo below).

She is also very fond of food. Too fond, so I have to be strict with that.
Recently she tried to manipulate me in a new way, it was very funny :oldbiggrin:. She started cuddling with me, and layed down curled up beside me. But only for a couple of seconds. Then she immediately jumped down and ran out to the kitchen, waiting for me to follow. She did this procedure a couple of times, but I did not fall for it.

What breed is she?

(One) reason for asking: I'm wondering whether a little DNA splicing now might make the Sisters of Plentitude prettier and cuddlier in 5 billion years time. :oldeyes:

She is mixed; part Persian cat and part Domestic short-haired cat.
Just like my two previous ones I had, actually. It is a coincidence; all three cats needed a home, so they ended up with me. :smile:
 
Here is a pic of my (newish) female cat. She is quite a character as well, very affectionate and playful. You can see her sitting on a notepad on my desk. Cute, isn't she?

I'd guessed she was part Persian, but not full. Her coat looks similar to a part-Persian cat that was a member of my childhood home. She was all-black, so of course she got christened "Sooty Puss". (An alternate name "Snowflake" got a laugh but was voted down.)

Just like my two previous ones I had, actually. It is a coincidence; all three cats needed a home, so they ended up with me. :smile:
Sooty was a rescue kitten -- a rather sad case at first, and extremely nervous. The first thing my Mum did was give her a flea powder treatment -- the number of fleas that showed up dead on the towel afterwards was a bit shocking.

Cats ARE variable mass entities; just try lifting one from your lap when it doesn't want to move.
Yes, it's so true! :smile: They have some strange kind of skill of making themselves feel heavier.

Hmm, sounds like my grandmother. As a teenager, I once had to lift her up after she'd fallen down. My mother wasn't strong enough, so she had to call me to do it.
 
Well, I don't know why it is, but I know from experience that it's a lot easier to lift and carry conscious patients versus unconscious patients (what cats do)... :smile:

My cat Athena likes my shoes.
I didn't know you had a cat. Such a beautiful coat she has!
I wouldn't be surprised if she is attracted to your shoes because they smell of you.
One of my former cats loved being around my shoes too. :smile:

I have 3 cats.
Good luck figuring out where one cat ends and another begins!
