a thread for crazy cat ladies! I thought maybe just pics of your own cats, and if there's not enough then just any old cat you can find!
I have 8. Technically only 5 are mine, the others think they live here. Mostly because I feed them with everybody else and they never seem to leave!

I have a cardboard scratching box that two of my cats sometimes use as a sleeping chamber. They each have a cat bed as well but sometimes prefer what I refer to as the "bed of nails" as the spot to nap. Go figure. LOL

Good morning, cat lovers. Miss Felix found a puddle on the porch after last night's storm. After getting soaking wet, the first place she goes is the cat pot. Now she has cat litter clumped all over her legs and paws. What a mess.

People here posted their cats reaction to the snow. The majority were dubious but a Norwegian Forrest cat looked absolutely delighted. It looked like a ball and I'll bet there was an ordinary sized cat in there.

I thought I would add to this thread. I am also a cat lover. Miss Kitty lived 19 years. She was not the nicest cat but loved me and my husband. Sadly she passed on Christmas day 2019. We adopted a kitten in March 2020 not knowing she has significant kidney disease. Her name is Kiss Daisy. Her issues are probably congenital but she is the sweetest, most loving cat I have ever seen. The vet is supersized how long she has lived with her renal failure. She was with me in my second cancer journey and I feel she knew what was going on as she cuddled with me all the time. We don't know how long she will be with us but she is a constant comfort to me as I feel I am a constant comfort to her. Cats forever!!!!

My boys let me trim their nails. Stevie sort of tolerates it but shreds everything. Annie will not let us touch her nails and she cries and cries, gets Eddie all upset. So Friday the girls are off to the vets to get those soft paw things put on their murder mittens.
