Caturday...

[Chillidoggy]

Give a cat a cardboard box, and it will think all its Christmas's have come at once. They love boxes, and carrier bags are also favourites.

One of the wife's cats she bred was the star in Cinderella.

Our two kittens are a year old now, it has also been a year since we lost Scarlet...

Tarquin is getting big!!

 

 

 

[eeyoreish]

Very smart. He looks like our old boy 'Chancer'.

Mr Fish the cat has found a comfy spot

At a friend's  house recently and a comment was passed about their cat occasional attacking one of the stuffed toys, a monkey, the assumption being that the toy has a long tail therefore cat thinks it's another cat. Cue me with (what looks to be Jess from Postman Pat) toy cat, for several minutes. I annoyed the real cat, it seemed convinced by the gentle forward motion, the movement of legs, the slow flick of the tail, posturing toward higher ground, etc. I now just want to get a toy cat to amuse my cat, well OK amuse me by annoying the cat if/when he next attacks me without due cause.

This is Mr Hat looking a little peckish, once you get to know him you can call him Mike.

 Our Siamese/Burmese cross, the vet can’t go over the size/length of him, he’s two years old & just fits through the cat flap!

[DaveC72]

I also love bags...

[Dan E]

I did not set this up this is how I found him the other morning 

[Bibs]

FFS!

[andydclements]

That's one heck of a bauble.

 

Just had a thought, when I visit some friends, I could take the remnants of the catnip (live plant I have) and subtly hide it in their tree.....

This thread has been too quiet so, Is it the spring yet?

[TheKevlarKid]

We've had a new member to the family, another rescue cat from work. Chatterbox Charlie...

 

 

So where are we going dad?

 

 

 

[silverfrost]

I see he has taken a fancy to the fish already Gavin  

[TheKevlarKid]

Considering his early life at work as a feral he's settled in amazingly. Surprised me to be honest just how well, really friendly and gets on with all the others. You'd never of guessed he's only been with us just over a month. Yes, he loves to sit and watch the fish. "I'm going to get you little fishy".

Best friends now.

Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest???

 

Here's our Coon, finally went at 21 years old last summer. The wife took this pic and only realised afterwards the reflection of white lights in the glass at the opposite end of the room makes it look like he's wearing a flipping tiara! He was big and butch, so wouldn't have been best pleased had he known. 

His sister, a red tabby Maine Coon 'only' lasted 19 years.

We need to get a couple more this year.

Always wondered about getting a Coon.  Are they good company?

Anyway, here's our boy Philip.  Just a 'rescue' ginger DSH but he's great company, easy going with people (and rubbish with other cats).  Definitely more of a fighter than a lover.

[Spinney]

He looks a real character and looking at his frilly ears, you can see he's a bit of a scrapper. So long as he wins!

Maine Coons are really nice friendly cats. They tend to follow humans around the house and garden and one of the things that drew us to them is that unlike some of the oriental breeds, they don't yowl loudly. I also like that they are often big - very big! Our brown tabby, Chuck, in the pic above weighed nearly 10kgs when he reached full maturity, was all muscle and the scourge of the wildlife around here. He was always very gentle with us though. 

My wife often tells the tale of answering the front door to a delivery chap and as they often did, the cats walked alongside her. As she opened the door, the delivery chap looked down, saw Chuck looking up at him and immediately took one step back while asking, "is it friendly"?
