    My Romeo with his very best in show pose- he won two of three rings at the National cat (Australia) show his first show as a kitten - till he took a dislike to and growled at one judge and missed out on the supreme title. I didn't like her either lol image

    Bruno is absolutely adorable.

    Romeo looks a little like the Siamese in the video "Mystic Cat" of the famous "Talking Animals" Youtube channel.

    If you don't know that channel, here's a sample for your delight (it's not just cats, but all sorts of animals, and check the Christmas carols"

    I loved the kittens, and the rag dolls, and the maine coon.

    On a sadder note: in the UK, a friendly cat who used to spend part of her day at a bus stop, getting petted by passengers, and becoming a bit of a local celebrity, was kicked so badly that she had to be put to death. The police are appealing for witnesses...

    That is heartbreaking about the bus stop cat. What a sweet trusting pet she was. Hope she is in paradise and that her owners get a lot of comfort from all the outrage over her untimely death.

    This is one of the neighborhood ferals. We call him Big Boy and he is big and beautiful. He is solidly built and is polydactyl. I would say his paws are over an inch wide. One of the neighbors does TNR and so far he has avoided her trap.

    I really want to know how they get all those kittens to look the same way at the same time. Mine won't hold still long enough to get a photo individually. They look too young to train.

    Ahhh what a lovely cat BigBoy is. Amazing how he is so big and healthy as a feral - the neighbourhood must be looking after him well.

    Let's put it this way, he doesn't miss too many meals! I have seen him intimidate some of the cats by his size alone. He will eat almost all of what I put out if he's around and there are 2-3 other houses that put food out for the colony. A neighbor jogs in the area and has seen him in other parts of the neighborhood on porches. He keeps himself very clean to the point I thought he was someone's pet but he is very skittish. His paws are massive, reminds me of dog paws. I'll try and get a picture of them. We had a cat that was polydactyl but nothing like Big Boy's.

    Wren - it's a PhotoShop job. Not a good one, either. But it's cute!

    Joining in at the suggestion of feelingfeline. Thanks! I've long considered myself a dog person with four and a spare dogs at home. However in the past year or so we've established a feral colony in our barn and work with a local rescue. So now I guess I'm a dog and cat person! We have one old cat in town who has alopecia and is losing her hair on her back. I'm going to have to dress her like Giggy on TRHW of Beverly Hills soon. At our farm in the barn we have six rescues and one stray. The stray is a big tom much like BigBoy. He is the most beautiful thing. So far he has alluded capture in my humane trap. We call him Duane, because he is a ramblin' man. (After Duane Allmon). You've got "Lord I was born a ramblin' man . . ." in your head now, right?

    Welcome FarmerLucy!

    There was a joke on this thread some time back about:

    How come if you have several cats you are seen as a CRAZY CAT LADY, but if you have several cats and a dog you are seen as an ANIMAL PERSON?

    Guess you are an animal person! Nerdy

    Lucky ferals to have you looking out for them!

    Any chance you could capture Duane with your camera? Who is bigger, BigBoy or Duane?

    Ah wow. Good luck Duane! XXX

    Years ago I lived for a year in Islington (UK), suburb of London. Loads of ferals. There was a feral rescue group (doing TNR) that I supported. They were known as SNIP.

    You have to be aware pussy is a pet name for cat in European English. Society for Neutering Islington's Pussies.

    (y'all falling about laughing?) Well I still have my SNIP sweatshirt! It must be (eek) 29 years old now.
