What a beautiful cat, how horrible!turbo-1 said:Here is Simon lounging by my cousin's pool - a pretty good-natured fellow. A couple of weeks after I did some Simon-portraits for her, she heard him screech and ran out the front door only to see him being killed by a neighbor's Rottweiler.

What happened to the Rottweiler? 
I'm glad I took the series of Simon portraits for her, although it's been two years, I don't know if she can bear to keep them out. He was a pretty cool cat and she loved him dearly.FredGarvin said:

I have a problem with the types of people that often want the aggresive breeds. They are often people lacking the temperament to demand obedient and civil behavior from their dogs. I have known nice people with pit bulls that are the sweetest dogs - you just want to hug them. Not all people who buy pit bulls are nice and spend time training their pets - some want their dogs to be aggressive, and if that's what you want from a pit bull, that's just what you'll get.Curious3141 said:That is just so terrible! Rottweilers and pitbulls should really be banned as pets. They pose a lethal danger not just to other animals (cats and dogs) but also young and old people
What a tragic loss. Poor little Simon.
OMG![/URL] That is SO CUTE!Moonbear said:

Yes, he was a very nice kitten, but turned into an ornery old cat! The ungrateful thing moved out to a barn when he grew up, and refused to even come near us. (Actually, he might have just been a very smart cat...we gave him to my step-sister after we got him onto solid food, and her youngest son, who was only a toddler at the time, thought all pets were there to wrestle with him.marlon said:
)One thing about Simon: He was a massive cat, and if you supported his body when you picked him up, he would just lie back and look at you like he and you were buddies.Evo said:What a beautiful cat, how horrible!
Well, in the case of Silvio, he went on to become a very big and healthy cat. Most of our visitors are always very surprised of how big he actually became. But he is indeed very shy. Actually, he only responds to my girlfriend's voice (she is the one who actually found him) and sometimes he will come to me too if i call him. If someone else is in the room, he will hide himself. He also likes to hide in bags, boxes and loves playing with shadows. This is something my other cats never do.Moonbear said:Yes, he was a very nice kitten, but turned into an ornery old cat!

Sounds just like Lucky. Everyone was amazed that such a tiny thing that we weren't even sure would live with bottle feeding turned into such a big adult cat! He certainly had his quirks though. He got lots of baths when we first got him...at first we needed to wipe his bottom to get him to eliminate, but once he was able to do it on his own, he was quite messy about it (before he was old enough to find a litter box yet, and was still on a bottle). He ended up loving jumping into the bathtub if the water was running, so everyone had to be careful not to run the bathwater too hot in case he just dove in (not fun having a cat join you in the bathtub either), but then the rest of the time, he'd be off hiding somewhere wanting nothing to do with people, even though he was really friendly as a kitten (I have pictures of him lying on top of people, sleeping on their backs while they laid on the floor watching TV, or sitting on top of my sister's head). Maybe he just got a bit miffed when we had him neutered.marlon said:

yep same here. i have had the "pleasure" of doing lots of these "bottom wipings" (i don't know if wiping is correct English but i am sure you get my point
) even though he was really friendly as a kitten (I have pictures of him lying on top of people, sleeping on their backs while they laid on the floor watching TV, or sitting on top of my sister's head). Maybe he just got a bit miffed when we had him neutered.
