Seachain ~ Conor is HUGE! And those big mitts of his...oooh....He is lovely
Feelingfeline ~ Has Arthur become less camera shy? Such a handsome fellow. He's BIG! He takes up most of the bed! Does he have it to himself at night or does he share with DD? Love the Klepto Cat. I never knew the story of Slinky Malinky. Funny when life imitates art
So cute all your critters match.
My kids would have adored that book when they were little. Looking forward to sharing the video with my 4 year old niece. She loves kitties. Need to get the book for her. Thank you for posting it!Tang ~ Toulouse looks "all business"; is he always so serious? When DS was a toddler he would say "kittyboard" instead of keyboard. Very appropriate for your "lap-top" kitty!
Queenie ~ That's some hardcore napping! It must be so hard to resist loving on those silky soft looking babies when they so clearly do not want to be disturbed.
Wren ~ The orange collar idea is great! It can be so hard to see a collar if it matches the cat's coat or if it is longhaired. How big is Squeakers to need a dog size collar? All these giant kitties.....I am jealous
Does Squeakers mind the bell on his collar? My heart cat loooved bells. He would do a proud high-step with a little shimmy to it so he could hear his collar jingle. And he would happily bounce around the house with his jingle toys in his mouth. Also was his favorite way to wake me up! So nice to hear the happy ending to Onyx and Coal's story.
CJ ~ How absolutely terrifying! Wonder what it was that was so enticing outside? Thank goodness the kitties stayed in the yard! GUS

Shepkitty, Squeakers is 16 lbs. We're hoping we can get him down to 14. He has a very stocky build and a short tail. He comes when he's called and walks on a leash. Very doggy kitty.
I'm officially a crazy cat lady. I'm going to the shelter to adopt a very sweet kitty who will be hospice. She's on the hit list for today, so I'm hoping they get my messages to keep her alive until I adopt her late this afternoon. Very sweet tortie with end stage kidney disease and a heart murmur. My guess is that she has 6mos to 1 yr of relative comfort left. Other volunteers have offered to help with costs of special food and fluids she'll need. We tried to get her foster hospice status, but were unsuccessful.

Awww @ kitty Wren. So sweet of you to do.
As of last week, Kitten Inn has desexed 1000 cats and kittens this year. It's been a warmer than usual winter, and apparently that's causing the kitten season to never end. Kitten Inn took in 14 kits on Friday and a pregnant cat. It's winter. Cats are not supposed to be pregnant this time of year. So on it goes. I'm headed into Wellington to direct a calendar photo shoot at a boxing gym. This wasn't even my idea and I have no clue how I ended up in charge of it. And I have no idea what I'm doing. So wish me luck!

Kiwi, so good to see you. I've missed your pics from Kitten Inn. Good luck with the photo shoot.

Kiwi - that is awesome what the Kitten Inn is doing! We had a warmer winter than usual as well, and had no break in kittens. We've even incorporated trap neuter and release programs at the places where the kittens seem to come from most, but it did not make a dent. Anyway, just commisserating. Good luck with your photo shoot. I would love to see some of the photos.

Wren, not crazy just good.
Shep - Arthur is still camera shy, but as he was asleep on DD's bed I was able to capture the moment without him knowing. I guarantee your niece will love Slinki Malinki.

KiwiCatMom - I actually noticed the kitten first - how bad is that?
The man is certainly handsome - but I think he's best looking because the smile on his face for the kitten. A man who loves animals is alright in my book. 0 -
He's adorable, as is the kitten. He once weighed over 300 lbs and got into nutrition and fitness. Now he's a fitness/nutrition coach and I'm going to have him help me a bit. He is, indeed, made all the more handsome by his fantastic smile, non-judgemental attitude, and love for the kitties.

Go away, we're sleeping.

I would never sneak up on my brother and punch him when he's napping.

Queenie, that cat is huge! Do you know what she weighs? And what is the attraction of sleeping on the back cushion of the sofa. My cat loves it there too. I think my sofa cushion is cushier than yours.

Quite the chunky lass, isn't she? At the moment, she weighs something like seventeen pounds, and should be under ten--she's not a structurally large cat, as our previous puss was.
And that's HIS end of the sofa. HER end isn't in the picture, although he's been known to invade.

Of course she would. Any good Queen Cat would.
As for cats on backs of sofas... My Fia loves it. She startled me yesterday as I did not know she was there, and she was literally inches from me.

Kiwi ~ I was reading the posts from the bottom to the top..... I was momentarily overcome with delight at tbe thougbt of your formerly 300 lb cat. Ah, I kept reading...... the real big guy is just as delightful 😻
All kitties should be x-tra fluff size 😃

When we first introduced Boy Cat (the tuxedo) into our household, he plagued Girl Cat like whoa (hence the comment "I would never ambush my brother when he was asleep.") They're brother and sister, but had been separated long enough that they'd forgotten each other.
One day, HE lay on HER side of the sofa and smirked. She hopped up onto the sofa and glared. He did a paw slap. Then I swear she stomped and snorted just like a sumo wrestler....and he fled. Don't wanna know what she said.

How about this for a nice way to spend the afternoon?

Suits me fine. Tell Mr. Tuxedo to budge up.

The rescue kitty is now living with another member of the committee to rescue her. She was really mean to Squeakers, so we're happy to pass her along. She was a real lap hog and loved petting. Other cats, not so much. She chased him away from his food.
I took Squeakers for his outside time on the leash. We were in the back yard when I spotted a very young raccoon. I got Squeakers up on the deck before he saw him. In the meantime the raccoon climbed a tree quite close to the deck so they were at eye level. I was afraid Mama was around somewhere and might think her baby was threatened, so we went in.

Susan - lots of rescue organizations are looking for people to come play and socialize kittens who are in stores for adoptions. Might be able to get your cat fix without having a cat. Just take extra clothes and change before going home.

thanks..good idea

Susan3: Second the idea of 'cat socialization'. Whether you need to change your clothes before going home is optional, depending on how allergic DH is, but definitely wash your hands well.

never knew there was such a thing. You girls are so smart

Stores, Humane Society/ASPCA, no-kill shelters, rescue groups, fostering groups, whatever. There are several ways of going about this, should you be interested. Hey, Miss Plumpy Puss emerged into your presence, even if she did give you the total stinkeye. That counts for something in my book.

Our shelter has 3 shifts per afternoon of volunteers who go in to socialize and play with the kitties. It's about 8-10 people each afternoon. I think there are more on weekends. Each person's shift is 2 hours. The dog side has dog walkers twice a day. Plus runners "get fit with fido" and hikers.
