Houston, It's a joy to have them as well as a lot of work. Think how thrilled a little girl would be to have a kitten. 6-7 is an ideal age for a girly girl. I think it might depend on the kid if she's a tomboy. I volunteer for an animal shelter and it's so fun to see the kids get their first kitten. I didn't get one until I was grown and married. I've had one ever since.

Yes, I love cats since I was younger, we have family cat but not my own. Actually I didn't let my kids have pets when they were younger. So now my older daughter, she's 21 decided to feed the neighborhood stray cats one day. They kept coming back and that's how the cat story begins.

Welcome Houston

This is my other favourite cartoon on the topic!

Look what DH brought me back from recent trip to Seattle!
We actually only have one cat these days, DS is allergic but can manage to get along with 1 as long as he doesn't stick his face in Arthur's fur or rub his eyes after petting him, in which case it is straight for the Clarityn. However I have had a multicat household a lot of my life, and the reputation sticks!

Feline, great cups! One of the shelter volunteers added crazy cat lady to her volunteer shirt.

I follow this thread and wanted to post a couple of pics of the kitties that I am petsitting. Puss is all black and the tuxedo is Boots. They were adopted and they found a wonderful home. They are about a year old and they make me smile, smile, smile.

They sat still because I was slowly waiving a large branch. I love black cats too...just adore them.

Saw this on Facebook, and had to share with my fellow cat ladies.
Apologies for the foul language in the meme - I didn't make it. The comments on the post are great for a laugh if you have some time to read. BTW, I sincerely hope the kitty was able to swim to safety. Thinking about all of the animals in the storm breaks my heart.

Wanted to share my rescue Wilson - got him in January, diagnosed with BC in May, he is my constant companion. My husband laughs at me, but I really believe we were meant to find one another. It's like I'm his purpose- he spends all his time following me, lying with me - he even sits by us when we watch tv and eat dinner. Best is when he runs is mouth on my bald head - the kids love it! He brings a lot of joy to all of us0 -
He's beautiful and how nice that you have him now.

What a handsome cat Wilson is. Cats are special creatures - they know when we need them. Years ago when my father had his first heart attack, our cat spent every moment by his side. My DH had brought home a new cat just a month before my hysterectomy in 2008. While I was recuperating, she spent nearly every moment either on the bed with me or, when she got tired, sleeping under the bed.

Just wanted lovepugs and others worried about the swimming kitty to know that my DH reports that he read an online post by the people who took the photo. They tried to go help him, but he would have none of it. They did see him reach safe ground and slip away into the bushes.

Thanks for posting that. I had been wondering. Cats swim really well, even though they don't usually like it. There is a breed of cats in Turkey (I think) that dive in the water to catch fish to eat.

This is an interesting idea:
This is Jack. He got into a fight and ended up with a wound on his side. The Vet suggested a shirt as a less stressful approach to keep him from chewing it, rather than a plastic cone.
Fun Fact: Most cats fit into baby shirts sized 0-3 months.0 -
Jack, you are darling!!!

What a great idea! They really hate those cones.

Jack does not look too happy in that photo! Wishing him a speedy recovery from both the wound and the clothing embarrassment. I bet he is funny when he walk with that outfit. Interesting 'fun fact'.

That IS interesting!

The shelter has an American Ringtail cat. He has a chip, so they're still trying to contact the owner. He carries his tail over his back with a curl and he wags it back and forth. He's a beautiful orange/white tabby. Nice cat and really playful.

Feline - Oh no! You know that old saying about curiosity and cats. Funny cartoon but scary too! 😳 Still chuckling about the "Catholic Meeting"; had to look at it twice to "get it" lol
Ruth - Jack looks so macho in his "man shirt" , surely he was the winner of the fight! Shirts work really well for dog wounds too. Some people (looks away and softly hums) dress their kitties up quite often so they don't mind wearing clothes.
Wren - I had to look up the American Ringtail. What a unique breed! The loveliness of a long tail with less risk of knocked over items 😊

Wow, never heard of Ringtail either. Duh, guess that means I don't know everything!!
We are "discussing" adopting a second, main problem is DS who has allergies. He took a couple of weeks to acclimatise to Arthur after Arthur arrived and when we took in what we thought was another stray a couple of years ago (a cat that turned out to actually have a home not too far from here) DS was back wheezing and streaming. He swears he will acclimatise to a new one, and he is 21 not 12, but there is a risk if we take one we might end up having to return it to shelter which would be traumatic for cat and people.
All of us would love another cat, no qusetion. Well no-one has asked Arthur to be fair...Arthur's opinion on the matter is unknown.

Feline, How did Arthur react to the cat you took in? If there's a shelter where you live, ask about fostering a cat. Here, the foster parent has first rights to the foster cat. I have only kept a couple over a long time.
The ringtail at the shelter wags it side to side like a dog, so not sure how safe the valuables would be. I think it would be less likely to step on his tail.

That is a great idea about the fostering Wren. I will look into it.

I love the shirt idea. I have to think Jack must prefer it to the cone of shame.
