    When I was little, we used to go to Lauderdale every year. Was lots of canals. Lots and lots of creepy dangerous swimming things in them. Still is. Even here. Be careful, watch Dusty!!!

    Reposted from Warm Fuzzies where I posted it by accident:


    Arthur is never interested in modelling and 99.9 % of the time will turn his head away from the camera as soon as I produce it. Best captured with a long lens so he doesn't know he is being photographed. I took several photos of Arthur (from a discreet distance) this morning. THEN I noticed my SD card sticking out of the slot in my PC - aaagh. So no captures of Arthur afterall.

    However here is my cousin's newly adopted black cat Lucky he was brought to a shelter after being hit by a car so a VERY lucky Lucky.

    image

    Before going to the shelter my cousin's son, age 9, had already decided they were going to name whatever cat they chose "Lucky".

    When they got there Lucky was sitting there already christened Lucky.

    Match made in heaven.

    Here is Tutti (Frutti) with her big tail she's so proud of. Below, stalking on safari in the back yard.

    Tutti Frutti is delightfulNerdy

    She must have to spend a bit of time keeping her tail so well groomed.

    Feelingfeline- yes, I would say that she considers grooming her tail her job. She lists it as her occupation whenever she fills out official forms.

    ....I think my Lump was thinking if he finished his big bowl of water, he might get a treat...

    That tail! Magnificent indeed. :) Love Nicholi and Kojak - ours aren't that polite if food may be involved. Tommyboy - great picture of a beautiful kitty!

    Teka- how do they always know when there's food? My mom had a cat who realized fresh fish (her BF brought a lot of his own catch home in neat little fillets in zip lock bags) always came in zips. She would open the fridge and grab a zip and you could hear THUMP. Off the bed and running down the stairs. At her side in seconds.

    Imagine his outright indignation when the odd tomato or half an avocado had been stored the same way! "What? No fish? And that was a good nap i was taking!"

    This is Butch and he is 17 years old. He is so cool. I babysit him when his parents go out of town.

    Butch is a handsome boy.

    Kjones, I got a chuckle out of that meme. We have a feral colony in my neighborhood. There are at least five of us who feed them. I've had them come running when they hear my front door open or when I would come home in our old car. One even "stands guard" on my porch and has growled at strangers!

    Great picture Tomboy!

    What a lovely youthful Butch!

    Jackbirdie - cats sleep with their hearing still at high alert for sure. Nerdy

    Here's another cat with a story: about 15 years ago....maybe more, school let out early because of an approaching blizzard. DS, who was in elementary school at the time, and I stopped by the grocery store on the way home. As we went in we spied this little cat wandering about in the snowbanks, and when we came out she was still there. Apparently either lost or abandoned. So, we took her home, called the Humane Society, the pound, put ads on the radio etc. with no response. We decided we'd keep her & DS named her Storm. See the next picture for the rest of the story.....

    It soon became obvious that Storm should belong to a one pet family. She terrorized our two older cats; who spent their days trapped on top of cupboards while she ate their food, slept on their beds, played with their toys, and monopolized their people. To the happiness of all, we found her a home in which lived one little girl (who would treat her like the queen she was) and no other animals!

    Ruth, good to hear another rescue story with a happy ending :) Feline, your story about Lucky had a wonderful ending too!

    CAMommy looks like Dusty is adjusting and venturing out, how is the rest of your cat clan doing after the move? I think it was Starkist that was most traumatized?

    Katy, your Tutti Frutti is such a pretty girl, loved the shot of her on the window sill - that is an impressive tail, she has a right to be proud!

    Tomboy cool close-up shot of Lump and goldfish having a staring contest, that could've turned out to be a catch-of-the-day story!

    Teka, your grandcats learn fast!!

    Cowgirl, so glad that Butch has a cat sitter like you to love him while his people are away :)

    Kiwi I could just crawl in there with all those kittens, wow are they ever growing fast!!

    Was feeling kinda blue today... just feeling out of sorts, and my one "man cat" Prowler always seems to come to my rescue when this happens. It's like he can sense my heart, and then he comes and traps me on the couch. His purring is good for my soul :) Thought I would share this photo taken with my phone... Prowler's favourite sweater, mine too.
