Queenie ~ I wonder why it is that the kitties forget their siblings? My heart cat and his twin were brought together for a play date once upon a time..... it did not go well. They were inseparable as babies but a few months apart and they became strangers
Good for sissie standing up to brother! Her side of the sofa? My goodness, a girl can only be pushed so far😾Ruth ~ Pretty kitty, pretty garden!
Wren ~ was this the same rescue that was the lovely little old lady-cat? Poor Squeakers! He has put up with some bullies
Kiitty leash training is hard! I've only ever had limited success with mine. What type of harness do you use? We are protective of our fur babies aren't we? I had a friend who one time threw herself between her baby and a charging large dog........ her "baby" was just a wee 110lb Rottweiler! She was a protective pet mamma, lol! Glad you didn't have wrastle any critters to protect Squeakers 😺Excellent ideas about playing with the homeless kitties! I usually don't like FFH....if he were allergic, I'd be tempted to NOT change my clothes 😽 (hmmm.. he does have a bad shellfish allergy) Shhhhh!

Yes, it was the lovely little old lady cat. Definitely full of tortitude. The leash we're using goes over his head, down his front, around his front legs and fastens on top of his back. He can, and has, taken it off. I don't think he can do it while you're holding it, but DH lets go. I'm making (for a year now) a different kind out of fabric. All I need to do is sew on the velcro - but that means I need to fill a new bobbin. You know how it goes. He had been outside (FIV+) and was dying to go back. As soon as he realized the harness meant outside, he was enthused. No training at all.
Usually cats just lay down flat in a harness. We have a photo at the shelter of a white cat doing exactly that. The caption says "Civil disobedience cat will not be moved"

Oh yes! I have experienced the civil disobedience
Finding something that is slip-proof but cat comfy is difficult. My Ragdoll, Disheveled Andrew, would wear a leash and harness for vet outings as he was uncontrollably violent in a cat carrier. He ripped out most of the claws from his front paw one time! Andy was a good car rider though. He wore a mesh puppy vest/harness. I've seen, but never tried the Come With Me Kitty harness and the Kitty Holster. They are supposed to be escape proof. Pris is too timid to try leash walking. Squeakers is a good kitty!Marti & Andy out shopping - guess who was the happy one?

CJSharma keep up the great work rescuing. I'm doing my second treatment out of 6 another week. I'm just tired of being so tired. Thank you all for the inspiration.

Lollipop (grey tabby) and Licorice (orange tabby) were so shy we decided to adopt them ourselves. They have come such a long way, and they still sit together like this! I hope this makes someone smile! As your posts do for me!

Feline, Awesome cat portrait!
Seachain, Isn't it amazing how much territory a cat can cover when it's trying to cool off? Mine hops in the (dry) bathtub or lays on the tile floor.

I have so many beautiful fur-babies of my own, including my 2 gorgeous dogs. they are truly my life. I need new pics of some of my babies, but they always come out blurry!! LOL
I love seeing the pics and hearing about all the other kitties. A highlight through all the crap we go through. Happy Sunday everyone, may you feel fabulous today!

What gorgeous fuzzies!
Yes, I confess, I have a weakness for fuzzies vs short haired. Nevertheless i try not to show favors with my two as the short haired one has his own super-cuteness.

DS's former girlfriend's family lives on a farm. After a visit, they came back with two little 'barn kittens'....the girlfriend is long gone, the cats remain (shhh.....don't tell DS, but that was the best possible outcome, IMO).

Wow 63 pages of cats, cats, cats and I missed it? Thanks felingfeline for telling "us" about this thread. I have a busy day to day, but will be posting pictures later, and after I can catch up with all of the cats here, but a little about my cat story. I had one cat growing up and she was all mine (as much as a cat can be owned). A wonderful Siamese looking cat (not sure if she was purebred, but a snobby woman at the tennis club rejected her because she scratched furniture, so maybe) my mother rescued as our family pet. Tammy. Fast forward 35 years without cats and a busy work life, I finally decided I could get cats again - so rescued two tuxedos 8 years ago. One died 2 1/2 years ago at age 7, of FIP. Maybe FIP will come up in a different conversation - but a devastating cat disease. I know more about FIP than I ever want to again. That left me with one very sad, but the more submissive of the two, and dare I say, bullied those many years, female (excuse this sentence structure - hopefully the point made), named Emma.
I think there is a natural inclination to replace like with like and I was literally looking for a Ms Boo look alike for my Emma. I found one, actually, but deep in my heart I know two cats would never truly be the same and I would always be comparing, so I was thankful that girl had already been adopted. Somehow I ended up looking at Turkish Vans and I had never considered a purebred, but it struck me how personalities could be so well defined by cat breed. Emma had developed asthma shortly after loosing Ms Boo, and having been bullied (Feliway plug ins were a must), both of us were ready for a very sweet cat. Having decided that could only be somewhat guaranteed by picking a purebred cat, I ended up noticing the Devon Rex. OMG - there was nothing about this breed that did not work with me, and as it turns out, with Emma too. More later.......

yes Quinn, we need pics. Never heard of that breed. Will have to google. There's a dog there too if you want to tell them on blues thread
