I want to know how a cat always puts all 15lbs into their toe when theywalk on you? My cats like to play chase in the middle of the night when I was out on the recliner. You'd think they could miss me when they're running??!!

I hear you Smaarty! We have one that's 8 kgs and he always manages to stand on my rib where my mets are and it HURTS. One of the kittens must patty cake my boobs and neck and face at night. He loves to snuggle and purrs and purrs, and patty cakes with sharp little claws. Hate to push him away, but ouch!

I hear you Smaarty! My 25 lb boy must always hit exactly the right (wrong) spots and my little girl must knead the tumor in the R breast all the time! Fortunately, she is only 6 lbs! Love all the baby pics, Kiwi! If I could, I'd be joining Juliecc! Pesky responsibilities!

Oh Terre you are killing me with all these torti mommas!!
Don't stop posting though! Cheers, Dee0 -
Tortis seem to be really common here; more so than I remember them being in the US. Glad you like them, Dee!

There was a great story on the news today. A woman was walking her dog. The dog was very interested in a box they walked by and managed to get it open. Inside was an adorable orange and white kitten with a note written in a child's handwriting: "My Mom's boyfriend is mean to me. Desperat for a loving home." The finder took the kitten to a vet who said it was a bit thin but in good health. It is now with Meow Cat Rescue and will be adopted. I bet they get at least 100 calls wanting that kitten. I'm also impressed with the child who had empathy for the kitten and took finding it a good home into her own hands.

KI cuddle puddle. Four belong to one mom, who has taken on two others who's mum couldn't cope.

No, no--my kitty didn't injure me, the darn seroma ruptured spontaneously while I was bending over the bathroom sink trying to get closer to the mirror while flossing! Surgeon who sutured it thinks my breast was too large and heavy for just steri-strips to have kept the scab over the sentinel-node incision from failing. Meanwhile, because of that I'm wearing the most supportive non-wired bras I can find during the day, and using an Ace bandage over my sleep bra as a binder at night. I'll know more Thursday.
Just before my lumpectomy my surgical nurse gave me a “P3," short for Protective Pillow Purse. It has a pocket for an ice pack, and in the pocket is a small removable cushion that fits between breast and car shoulder belt. It is a "pillow purse" because it has a shoulder strap adjustable with velcro for slinging over the shoulder and separating arm from breast. Every November, a group called “Protect the Girls" (sorry, they don't have a website) meets in Evanston, IL to make them (cutting, sewing, stuffing) and they're distributed to women facing breast cancer surgery & radiation throughout Chicago's North Shore (city & 'burbs). I sleep with mine on the operated (right) side and put another pillow across the rest of my chest. But my younger cat, Happy, likes to walk across my chest while I'm sitting in my recliner--and whenever he sees me put my arm or the pillow across it, he gets discouraged and I feel like an ax-murderess. My older cat Heidi gladly sits atop the larger pillow when I sleep on my back. Neither of them is a featherweight--Happy is about 15 lbs. and Heidi about 14. Here are some pix (Heidi is black and Happy is a ginger patch tabby).
My little princess Heidi at a year old: (she’s gotten camera-shy with age)
This was Happy as a kitten (he's easily twice as big now)
Some more Happy--here he is taking his entrance exam for the “School of the Seven Bells:"
More recently--what’s the deal with big cats and little boxes?
Saw this one on a wall in Paris last year:

ChiSandy -thanks for clarifying. I was feeling like a bit of an ass for posting the patty caking the boob thing, but it was pretty funny. Your kitties are beautiful. I had a cat named "Happy" when I was six and it looked a lot like your Happy!
The pillow sounds fantastic - wish I'd had one when I had my surgery done. I'd love to know more about it, there are people here in NZ always looking for something like that to do, and I bet this would be a hit!
Edited to fix typos!

I watched the head of Alley Cat Project manage to get a feral/scared cat from a shelter cage into a carrier without handling her. It was an art. She put a towel over the carrier to make it dark and inviting to hide in. She has a catio and can put the cat in there to decide if it's really feral or just terrified.

More KI cuteness. The second one is not distressed; she just puts her ears flat every time the camera comes out.

I am a very bad cat who peed on the bedding after my humans refused a very polite request to go outside at 6:00 in the morning.

Kiwi, Do their eyes stay blue? I can't remember seeing an adult cat with blue eyes except for Siamese.

Their eyes usually don't stay blue. I have two with blue eyes; my Himmie and a mutt cat who has lovely blue crossed eyes (Romeo). He doesn't look Siamese, but obviously there's some in there somewhere.
Lots of new KI pics; will try to post tomorrow...too tired tonight.
