I have kitties! Two specifically.
The female - who I call Naggy McNaghag, and the male who I call Big dumb cow-kitty. Really, those are nicknames
I actually adopted them this summer - the family I took them from couldn't/wouldn't take care of them anymore. They were in bad shape when I got them, undernourished/malnourished and some kind of rash or mange problem. Both were skittish and rather unpleasant at first.
But after some baths (oatmeal creme rinse to sooth the skin) and some serious upkeep and a tailored diet they've both gained weight, grown their fur back, and have become the cuddliest (bossiest) cats ever.
I keep them as indoor cats now, although they've been outdoor cats their whole lives I figured that they are simply too old to be able to handle the more extreme temperatures as well as wild animals that wander into our yard. So now they live the life of luxury, sleeping on any surface they want to (except counters and tables that's a no!).
Essentially, I spoil the crap out of them.
In fact the male cat is right next to me right now, happily snoring away, after a full breakfast of salmon.
Freaking cats.
-
Anok - love the nicknames!!! How about some pics? Pleeeeeeez
-
I only have a picture of the female. This was soon after I got her - I had managed to cut most of the dreads off, and was just giving her a bath in this picture. She has since gained weight and regrown all of her fur:
-
I tried to come up with a good come back...but I got nuthin'
The only people who've seen this cat already know me, and my blog - so I'm good -
Anok - beautiful color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you are finished washing your kitty cat, please wash pink donkey's mouth out with soap and water, please!
-
Isn't she though? She's very pretty. Bossy - but pretty. When she sits she actually looks like a cartoon rendering of a female cat (complete with the "bump" meant to imply breasts) Hysterical.
Anin - it's not nearly as recognizable as your nose - since you stick in everyone's business! -
I give you credit for successfully washing a cat I could never do that to Mr. Cranky without me getting bloody (yes my blood not his) -
Honestly, she was too malnourished to really fight. Which is sad
-
At least she found a good home now to take care of her!
-
You have no idea - she is The Queen Princess kitty.
Bossy ass cat. But she is sweet, the little kitty who chirps instead of meowing.
-
-
-
LMAO!!!
**This thread is not for kids** -
You just have a filthy mind DM. You should be ashamed of your self. -
Bad donkeh!!
-
An Ingenious Name - You are a perv and part of the rebel alliance!
-
I can't be blamed for the depraved minds of my fellow bloggers, can I?
I was just discussing the obvious merits of having your own pussy and congratulating Anok on successfully ridding her own pussy of whatever was ailing it.
She was quite lucky she was able to cure the mange without having to shave her pussy bald, it happens more than you would think. -
Can you fault us when using double-meanings the way you are. I see what you're doing, Sir donkey!
-
Anin- they are giving away free buckets of ants on another thread. Maybe you should go check it out. (hopefully he runs away and takes his dirty mind with him)

We are a two kitty house. Kitty Gray adopted us about six years ago. She would watch my Mom walk our golden retriever Peaches from across the street. One day she walked up to our porch and stayed. There was a scary moment when Kitty Gray disappeared and I feared she was taken by a coyote. But she showed up three days later and we brought her in the house for good. Buster was my friend's cat who was given to my grand mother. She passed on last May, the day after mother's day and we took him in. We soon found out he was diabetic but is doing great. He loves to be with us and pet all the time. However, Kitty Gray was very very mad and to prove she was still the queen of the house, I turned my room into her room. The two of them get along occasionally. One final note, I'm obsessed with Kitty Gray to the point that it is probably not healthy!-
Kitty Gray and Buster sound like my two, Blue and PeeWee. Blue is a biotch whenever PW comes by. She'll scream as if being disemboweled, and PW didn't even do anything! Sometimes PW will run up to her or simply touch her forhead to get a reaction out of her. He knows exactly what he's doing!
Got any pics of your babies?
-
-
i have two kitties at home, though one's mine and one's my mom's. mine is about 10 and she's an adorable calico with little white mitten paw markings. our other cat is grey, and he was born in a shelter so he's deathly afraid of people and often runs away, which is pretty entertaining.
-
What are their names? Do you know how old the gray one is? Any pics?
-
-
Here are two pix of PeeWee - when he was a baby and now. He was a feral baby with a broken leg when I found/fostered him, ended up keeping him. His story is on my kitty blog.
-
Awwwww! He's so freaking cute! ♥
-
What a poser!
-
PW's top pic does remind me of the Burt Reynold's pose in a magazine so many years ago! This pic did make it into a cat calendar - published and sold as fundraising for a rescue.
Anin - don't make me come over and slap you silly! -
Anin - wrong! So very wrong!!
-
Anin - PW is a boy. What does that say about you!
-
That I'm not fussy about pussy?
-
Anin - guess you don't mind inter-species relationships...
-
When you're the world's last Lavender Aardvark you can't afford to be choosy.
-
-
Living in the country as we do, we have had lots of cats. Our record high was 19. It would take me days to run through the names and funny stories. If I weren't on a conference call and desktop application sharing at the moment, I would start writing out the War and Peace version of my cat stories. Perhaps I will get back here later to share some with you.-
Oh man - kitty war stories - they're too funny. You must share!
-
MS - Please come back with a story and picture. Maybe share one with us once a day or something. Would love to hear from you!
-
-
Just because it's kitty related:
-
Too precious!
-
Anin! Behave yourself!!!!! Or I'll send my minions after you!
-
*Wags finger at Anin*
I can here you giggling all the way over here! -
HAhahahahahahaha
Naughty aardvark.
-
-
I has kitty cat. =^.^=-
I hope you mean more than equal signs, carots and a dot...Tell us more please. Names, pics, stories?
-
My kitty cat -
Another picture of my cat playing. -
Awe! Thanks for sharing!
-
-
Here is a pic of Blue (left) and Pepper (right), taken before we adopted them by their foster. They were born in a parking lot. The rescue saved the mom and all her babies. Do you see the little brown spot on Pepper's nose? Remember it. I'll be back later with a pic of Pepper all grown up. You will see what happened to that brown color.
-
Doh! Too cute.
OMG I have to get out of here, the cuteness is killin' me!
-
-
OK, Here's my big dumb cow kitty. He's a solid 15 pounder, so he's a BIG cat. He's just shy of a Maine coon cat:
He's sleeping:
And now he's not. (And he's pissed ):
-
What a chubba bubba! I'll bet he's great to hug! My PeeWee is 17 pounds (and on a diet) - Fat Boy and Lard Boy are his nicknames!
-
It's like hugging a giant marshmallow
But he's not fat at all - in fact he could stand to gain a little more, according to his frame!
Big, big cat. I try to sleep with him like a teddy bear, but he doesn't like it much -
Oh! Guess it's the way he's curled up that makes him look chubby. Just the same, he's joy to hug!
-
I don't know how he does it, but he folds himself up and winds up just looking like a giant ball of fluff and chub. He looks all squishy But as soon as he stretches out - you can see he's all muscle. Fluffy muscle, but muscle none the less
-
I like big cats. More to hug! I've had a few cats since my childhood, but they were all on the lean side, and pretty tiny.
My Salomé is my first chubby, 5+ kilos feline.
I like to say that my cat is 33% seal (she looks like one when she's lying down), 33% bulldog (when she's standing, because she's short-legged and stocky), 33% grounhog (because she often sits up on her butt, with her front paws up) and 1% cat.
I have a pic of her in groundhog pose somewhere, I'll post it if I can find it. -
Yes, I want to see that!
-
I was going to post about my cats, but I'm afraid they'll get donkeh slobber all over them and I'll have to give them baths.-
Not on a train
Not in the rain
You beg in vain
Don't ask again. -
Legbamel - I slipped a mickey into Anin's water bowl. You can post a pic as soon as he passes out. Aliens will abduct him as soon as his head hits the floor...
-
You'll notice he hasn't tried to ban me once, in this thread, unlike any of the others. I can't say I'm too surprised.
-
Anin - you are getting very thirsty! Go get a nice big drink from your water bowl!
-
Okay, I have a brother and sister who look and act completely unrelated. The male is a long-haired fuzzball in various shades of grey who only wants attention on his own terms. He's stand-offish until he wants you to brush or just hold him, and then he attacks without mercy. Apparently he loves me best just after I've eaten breakfast. He weighs 12 pounds, but I swear if you shaved him he'd be half that. He's got so much fur growing between the pads of his feet that I swear his paws have never touched the ground.
The other is a small tortoise-shall female, who is exceedingly shy around strangers but lives on my lap until the children go to bed, at which time she selects one on whom to sleep. The two have nothing in commen except their birth date and some maternal genes. I don't have a pic of them on this computer, though. -
That's nice.................you're banned!
-
Oh, maybe I should answer to question too... I don't have any cats, I've thought for a very long time that they are just plain evil, only to then spend time with a friend in Indy who has two cats and finding out I allergic to them! Still, I spent 2 whole weeks around them suffering with sneezes, wheezing, sore throat leading to loss of voice, itchy red eyes and drowsiness - but still.
I think that hold some serious grudges and I'm pretty sure that can talk...-
DM - You poor thing! I have two friends who are allergic. Their daughters are at my house now and then. Whenever I know they are coming over, I vacuum twice, tape the fur off the cusions even if I can't see any, and wipe down the surfaces with a damp rag. Then kitties get locked up in the basement which is a huge playland for them anyway.
For now, it's going to have to be plush toy animals. I am shipping this little guy to you. He's hypoallergenic.

Dear Anin,
Thought you might appreciate this picture:
-
Aaahaahaahahaa!
-
What happened to the mystery of what you can't see?
-
PHahahahahahaha! I'm speechless!
-
-
I own a dozen Indonesian palm civets. Does that count? -
Are you making your own coffee? LOL!!!
-
It's part of my louche, jejune, decadent lifestyle. They're all named "Mr. Poopers," regardless of whether or not they are a boy or a girl.
-
Trying to corner the Kopi Luwak market with farm raised civets and undercut the "Free Range" civet markets ability to produce the worlds most expensive coffee?
I would suggest using some of the techniques in use by industrial chicken producers. Keep the civets in a lighted environment 24x7 and keep fresh coffee beans in front of them at all times. This will encourage them to eat continuosly.. And what goes in, must come out. So this will maximize your production. Also, keep them caged individually, limit movement and social interaction this will again encourage them to eat. They will gain weight and it will shorten thier lifespan, but who cares... at the price your getting... you can buy more. Come to think of it, this sounds a bit like what we are doing wit people. Isolating them from physical activity and social interaction and stuffing thier faces. WOW... we are being farmed! It must be a government conspiracy. -
Or the Blog Catalog lifestyle!
-
Gtally - you could rename the females "Poopette".
-
But have you ever tried to determine the sex of a palm civet? Messy, messy...
-
-
Anin - this is your first warning...
MyNiceSpace.com-
Lol! Did you know flashing lights can trigger seizures? Just sayin'. Nope, don't own a kitty but I have in the past. Hubby's allergic. -
I knew it - Evil!
-
DM - there are good cats in the world, too!
-
Wow... that flashing image is serious headache generator. No seizures yet... but have to scroll quickly.
-
BL - Nope, the nice ones have secrets.
-
-
Last cat I had was an orange and black kitten we named pumpkin. She always tried to steal my daughter's food when she ate. And when we would call her from outside, her eyes would glow in the distant lamplight, then bounce rapidly like a couple of ghost lights till her form actually began to appear in the light.
Like the saying goes, "There's a sucker born every minute...and all the cats know where we live!"-
Hallelujah, Amen to that!
-
-
I have a cat named Tobey, he is a champ... he hangs out with the kids and lets them dress him up and put him in strollers he pretty much never is bothered by them! great kitty cat!-
How about a picture of Tobey?
-
I will see if we can get one put up!
-
That would be really nice!
-
-
I previously shared a picture of Blue and Pepper as kittens and asked you to note the little brown spot on Pepper's nose. Here is what happened to that little brown spot...
-
oopsie daisy...
-
-
we've got 16 kitties

That's too funny
-
-
OMG - thanks for sharing. Everybody has to check this video out!
Do have have any stills you can share here? -
Wow! I just got back from doing some laundry and noticed aliens really did carry Anin off!
-
AAAAACCCCKKKKK!
-
It is rather disturbing, isn't it!
-
[shudder] I can't believe that didn't send anin screaming out of this thread for good. The poor donkeh will have nightmares for weeks. He may start wearing a cup!
-
-
I have a pretty and chunky 7 year old calico. I adopted her from the Humane Society last year. She literally stuck her paw out of her cage and touched my face. I always tell everyone that she picked me, but of course, I have no way of knowing if she did that to everyone. I'm a sucker though and it worked! She has lost a little weight since coming to live with me, but she is still quite heavy!-
Awwwww. We are suckers, the cats know it, and exploit it.
-
I'll assume that's your baby in your avatar! Pretty!
-
-
Suckers..cats......no I best not. Nice weather out.
-
You are back! I thought aliens had abducted you... I just told Legbamel that it was safe to return. Are you going to mind your manners?
-
I always do I can't be held responsible for other peoples dirty little minds.
-
Let's just say that if everyone else looses control of their dirty little minds, you will receive the blame...
-
-
-
WOW! This should be framed. Is this Merlin? What is his story?
I don't think my hands are steady enough to pull something like that off. -
Nice Pu..................cat.
-
Anin - something tells me you were a real pain in the butt as a child...
-
LOL! Yeah Anin, there's an awful lot of red writing on this thread...
-
OMG, kikolani, your cat and mine are either twins or clones (because grey cats are SO rare, lol!)
But yeah, my Salomé looks exactly like your Merlin. Is your cat entirely grey from head to toes? Mine is.
-
-
My Kitty we call him Marshy or brat whichever seems to fit at the moment! -
A blurry yellow and white kitty. Very rare? Must be worth millions! I am collecting pix of green kitties for St. Patrick's Day.
-
Actually he is cream and tan, it is just hard to tell with the lighting.. He'd like to think he is rare!
-
This one is a little better.. his name is marshmallow I guess you can figure out why. -
Marshmallow looks really, really soft! I'll bet he's squishable!
-
We talk about cats like food now? Or is it just me that says stuff like that about food? lol
-
-
How do I add my kitties pix? I tried copy/paste but it didn't work. I want to show off Kitty Gray & Buster!
-
visit photo bucket and they will walk you through the steps. I go for MEDIUM for the size choice before uploading the pic. It's a good size for here on BC. Once your pix are in, click on the pic, copy the HTML code and then come over here to BC to drop the code in. When you hit enter here it'll turn into the actual pix.
Can't wait to meet Kitty Gray and Buster

We used to have 4. Unfortunately 3 died of old age in the last two years (Minx, Indy, and Mu-cat). Callie is our only kitty now (she's about 8). She's a mixed kitty with black and white markings (stray we picked up) with a cyst in one eye--it's permanent, but our vet didn't feel that surgery was needed--we just dose her with BNP twice a day.
She became an indoor kitty by her own choice, after the other cats passed away. She's on an all wet food diet (can't get the girl to switch to raw ). She's a very sweet girl with only two annoying quirks: she loves to dig her nails into anyone (especially when you pet her), and she meows incessantly.
Some cute things: because of her bad eye, she thinks she can actually scale walls and ceilings, and if you hold her while standing under a ceiling fan, she'll try to launch herself at it. She also climbs the window curtains. And once, she got attacked by a preying mantis, and from then on, was afraid of bugs -
Poor kitty! Bet she and you were so lonely after the other ones passed away. I lost one cat last year and and two years ago. It's so hard. Two of my cats used to run together, take flying leaps up onto the curtains, then pull themselves up onto the valance rod which would bend and wobble. I was so afraid the whole thing would come down.
Send us a digital pic of your Callie. -
-
My Sunny, do you live in a zoo, or did you rescue part of one? Lol!
She's a cutie! How does she get along with your other furry buddies? -
Salomey5 - Sunny is down to one cat right now.
Sunny - looks like you have a lovey dovey kitty on your hands! Thanks for sharing the picture! -
@ salomey
Right now, I have 1 cat, 7 dogs, 3 ferrets, and 1 rabbit. Callie tries to eat my ferts and the rabbit--so we keep them separate And my dog tries to kill Callie (as well as some of our other dogs), but we're working on that *g* -
Wow, Sunny, it is a zoo!!
Sounds like a lot of work, keeping all the peace between all these little guys! At the same time, I bet you get a lot of laughs. Animals are such great comic relief (when they're not sleeping all the bleedin' time *cough my cat cough*)
-

I have 5 cats. Actually, 1 mama cat and 4 kittens. Mama cat is Nala (named by my niece after Lion King or rather, Lion Queen). She is black with white socks and is the Queen of my house. She's very bossy and demanding and thoroughly spoiled. I love her to bits and she knows it and exploits that weakness shamelessly. She recently presented me with a litter of 3 females - Bunny, Carrie & Lisa and 1 male - Tommy Boy. Now i have 5 bosses! They sleep on my bed and if i leave to sleep on the sofa, they come over and crowd me off. I discuss different topics with them and sometimes they humor me by pretending i'm as smart as they are. Other times they ignore me. I also have a Golden Retriever who now prefers to stay in his doggie house than brave my 5 kitties. I'll soon be joining him there!-
I know what it's like being over run by the cats. No room for you i the bed! Are the babies full grown now? Got any cute pix to share?
-
-
here some shots of tobey!
-
Wow! tobey looks exactly like Nala. Cute! Cute!! Cute!!!
-
The two pix of Tobey, close together, look like two cats on one quilt! LOL!! Nice mustache!
-
-
Thanks busylizzy. I'm going to try that now.
-
I'm Back: Hope this works:)
Buster
Kitty Gray
-
Sleepy babies! Shhhhhh....dont' wake them!
-
-
Peppi aka Mr. Cranky
Penelope-
I think Mr. Cranky is giving you (or whoever took the pic) the evil eye! LOL! He has a bit of a black mustache on one side. A cat I had many years ago was like that. Her name was Elise.
Penelope is a pretty tortie!
Thanks for sharing!
-
-
Oh my God these kitties are too freaking cute.
I have to leave now. -
Mr Cranky has cattitude he groals, spits and hisses. Penelope just loves ya to death. She would sit on your lap all day if you let her, they are complete opposites
-
I love cranky cats. it's like they're a challenge. I poke them and pick on them till they stop biting and start cuddling
-
-
What can I say?
Awwwwwwww....... -
I had kitties and I loved them, but when they passed away we didn't get any more because my daughter is allergic to them. So...now we have house rabbits. Go figure, she is not allergic to thumper!
-
If you have any old kitty pix we'd love to see them!
Tell us about your past kitties and their quirks... -
I have the opposite situation. I am deathly allergic to rabbits and guinea pigs but fine with cats. Well, I need to clarify that. I am allergic to cats as well, just not my cat. I can rub my face in her fur and sleep with her draped across me and not have any reaction.
-
Still Thinking - I have a friend who is the poster child for allergies, including cats. He says that after about a month of being around a particular cat, he's no longer reacting to it, but only that one cat.
-
-
I Love Cats! My latest Blog post is about Cats! It features an original painting too.
-
I have four cats. They are all named after products my husband and I sell on our ethnobotanical site. Their names are Aya (ayahuasca) Moon Unit (actually she's named after Moon Unit Zappa), Yopo, and Acacia.
This is Acacia she's my little fatty..
She sleeps snuggled up to my neck in the morning when she's ready to eat she puts her nose on my eye and meow a 1/2 inch from my face..
www.myspace.com/lickherfuckingpicture There are many more pictures of all my furry kids if you'd like to check them out! Also stop by my blog sometime!
Edit: Sorry for the size! I guess she's big even in pictures!!-
Acacia looks like the long-lost twin of my Pepper!
-
-
I lost a puppy called BABIE & it's almost a year now.
I'm looking for another one-
You should consider a kitty. Are they popular in India?
-
-
Can I comment if I dont have one and dont really like em either? Hmm...I guess I already did...
that was pretty lame UTP...I know...-
This thread is for cat lovers.
-
-
I'm kinda IT challenged. How do i find the photo bucket to post my babies' pictures?
-
Here are two of my past kitties: in the first pic, Minx is the black kitty sleeping with Callie. The second picture is Mu-cat (forgive all the crap on the table ).-
Thanks for sharing! I love it when two kitties snuggle up together. It's so cute!
p.s. I like the beveled glass in your front door!!!
-
-
This is Meow Ming, named after the Houston Rockets Yao Ming. My daughter keeps dressing him in Dallas teams sports gear, even though she named him after a Houston player. Go figure.
He doesn't really like having his photo made, it takes lots a lots of treats.-
I can imagine him not liking his pix taken - it's a major production, literally! He's a sport about it (bad pun!) though. Those are fun pix! Perhaps your daughter is hoping Yao Ming will eventually play for Dallas.
-
LOL that's awesome! Meow Ming is a great name too...
((is this thread starting to make me like cats?!?))
-
-
ewww.. dont like to have one either... i just like their hair,, its itchy. hehehhe -
I'm actually a dog lover but recently "adopted" a cat! His name is Tatty (because he's a little bit tatty looking)...long story short - I blogged about him last week so check out my blog for the photos (I don't have them on this PC). Tatty was sleeping rough in our garden, he has no teeth and was the skinniest little thing I'd ever seen!! Bless him! I have no idea how old he is or where he came from but he's definitely grateful to be with us. He seems to "talk" one hell of a lot as well!! x-
Jen - I checked out your blog but it wasn't obvious where to find pix of Tatty. What is the title of your post that has the pix?
-
-
Hi there everyone
Cute thread, and gorgeous pic of your cats!!
We have a part maine coon cat called Karma
I have written a bit about her here.
julesangelsa.blogspot.com/2009/01/introducing-our-pets.html
We have been having some allergy/excessive licking(her fur) problems with her for a while now, not sure it all started She's been checked over several times by vets, who can't find anything in particular, apart from that it could be allergies. Have given her tablets for it, sprays, change of diet etc.. nothing is working. She's not too bad atm, but just won't stop licking/grooming herself. Other wise she's very healthy -
I had a cat that licked excessively. She coughed up furballs probably twice a day even though she receive hairball goo to lick every day! That's bad for the body and teeth so she ended up getting shaved about twice a year. Anyway, her problem was that she was a nervous kitty with lots of anxiety and licked as a calming mechanism. Perhaps your baby is anxious?
-
-
Ps.. I hope I am allowed to put up a link in my comment? Just that it is easier than writing the whole story again about her in here. I'm still fairly new around here, and a bit confused. Hopefully I will get the hang of this place soon !
-
No problem. I did ask if anyone wrote about their cats on their blogs. You could also have said your wrote about her on your blog and named the title of the post. Readers could then click on your avatat, then on your blog and go find the post. However, someone visiting your blog wouldn't know where to look, so giving us the link to the exact spot was a good choice.
Love the scrapbook feel of your blog! Very artistic, too!
-

This is my tortoise shell cat Patches:
I also have a black cat named Sassy.
Patches is the only shy cat I've ever seen. We've always been very good to her, but she always acts like we don't want her around, like she has a feline inferiority complex. When she was young, she came home one day with a broken tail and we had to take her to the vet to have it amputated, so her tail is only a couple of inches long now. -
Thankyou busylizzy for your responses
Yeah I'm starting to think it might be an anxiety thing from ages ago when she went missing, and came back traumatized and injured (altho that was a very long time ago now) Maybe she's having a delayed reaction to it now.I did bring that up to the vets, but they said if she was going have any anxiety problems that would have been back then. But who knows? I am only starting to have some of my personal issues surface from years ago in the form of panic attacks, so it could be possible with why Karma is licking obsessively ? I do feed her hair ball formula food and paste. Might have to consider getting her shaved if it keeps going on !
Thankyou for your compliment of my blog also -
I'm no animal psychologist, that's for sure, but I would think our pets can pick up on their owner's stress and moods. Also, some of us humans can have delayed responses to stressful times. Why not animals, too?
-
-
Poor Patches, shes very pretty !
-
If I had a cat my snake would eat it... -
Just posted photos of GREEN cats on my blog. Do you think it's a bunch of blarney?
