Self-indulgent pet thread

Everyone's cats are lovely. trashpony I have definite kitten envy!

My old boy has got terribly thin again He's just fur and bone, all knobbly round the hips. Vets tomorrow <sigh>

Oh no - hope is okay!

Callie - your pic a few pages back reminded me of this one I took of Rocky (sadly dead) in my apple tree!

Cats in trees =

And he's a picture of Rambo II lounging about today

 

[Callie]

The Poo hasnt been up the tree again. Shes currently beating the crap out of Neela for no apparent reason.

Here is Neela killing things in the sofa

I like big cats

[May Kasahara]

Hope the vets goes OK May Kasahara...

Thanks Trillian has beautiful markings, very geometric.

I've had a look at the markers for Maine Coons as CRI suggested and Loki has them all

Thanks! Her back also has black splotches on it that look a bit like a dairy cow's

 

[Agent Sparrow]

May Kasahara, this is her back...



And as a bonus picture, this is a blurry photo of her ridiculous feather duster/squirrel tail!

Aargh, you're so lucky (so Loki Loki Loki...sorry). I would love a Maine Coon, beautiful cats they are and very chilled out from what I hear.

Mine are both mogs but I'd love to know their genetic history. I'm sure there's some oriental breed in there, as they're not cobby and roundfaced like British tabbies and they have loud yowly voices. My girlcat has a distinct look of the Turkish Van about her too. Who knows though, they were born on a building site so might just be south London mongrels like me

Here's my girlcat being queen of the world



And again:

 

[trashpony]

Who knows really until they get bigger? Right now, Loki seems anything but chilled

My top cat toy tip of the day - the cat tunnel - £3 from Asda. Hours and hours of fun

ETA: xposts. Oh yes, she definitely has some oriental stuff going on! What brilliant markings - you'd never lose her

In about 3 years time, you'll have this then!

Trillian's colouring looks like the inverse of Mousch. When we got her she was all fluffy tail with a little kitten attached. It took a while for her to grow into her tail. Oddly her mother looked more like an Abyssinian type with short hair, pronounced stripes and no fluff.

talking about pets eating
looking after this doggie Sammy for a few days, pic from yesterday when i took her out to the park

is a can of dog food in 2 halves, with a fair amount of biscuit stuff each time enough for her?
give her a couple of chewies as well

squeaky ball featured sadly lost in Roath Park lake today, she wouldn't go and get it and I couldn't reach it so I owe her a new one

Probably mogs crossed with posh cats like our two. Hendrix is massive as you know and looks like a Norwegian Forest Cat. Afaik he's half- Persian.

Oh, I love that smile. Are you sure you're going to give Sammy back?

 

[ddraig]

well we've had since tuesday! and have said if they don't come soon she is staying here
this was her getting comfortable on sofa last night and improvising as a mouse mat!

 

[trashpony]

Looks like I'm going to have to move the cat food stash - they were working as a team to get the bag of cat biscuits open

 

[red rose]

This evening Schrodes has been trying to catch his tail...


...and fend off kicks from his own back leg


He eventually managed a sort of compromise

 

[trashpony]

There really are 2 of them:

Loki

Bubbles
And for size reference purposes:

 

[spirals]

My big black cat is called Loki trashpony, you have excellent taste when it comes to names

 

[girasol]

I can't decide which one is more adorable, trashpony! Very happy for you both! Well, for the four of you

 

[colacubes]

When can I come for a visit?

 

[May Kasahara]

And can I come too?

 

[trashpony]

You're always welcome

They are both purring like crazy

Here's my ginger mate Bozzle
