Every time I try to cut stencils on my Cameo, this happens.
I keep telling her it is not a toy but she never listens so I have to close her up in the bedroom until my cutting is done. Poor kitty.

Not 1 but TWO inspectors in my current Laser Ball, project. The funny thing is the machine has sat in this state for almost 2 weeks as I've been working on the playfield and not once did either of them show any interest. As soon as I start stripping the guts of the cab, this happened!

Then, one of them discovers the recently cut cab stencils. SHEESH.

Well that's better than what I stepped in the other morning at 0430!

So I couldn't finish sanding the cab on Laser Ball over the weekend, drug it into the house and went to run some errands. It was just inside the front door, came home to find this.
HELLO, thanks for the perch!

What is it about this Laser Ball... I came home from work Friday and could not find B.B., then as I get ready to move this outside for more sanding, HELLO, you found me daddy!
It's no longer accessible now though.

No, he won't part with any pinball / juke boxes for reasonable rates. But a gumball machine...

... Sugar balanced so gingerly on the cab of LB, and BB hiding in the corner never far from me, much like Maverick in HEPs photos.
Now if only my skills were half as good as his.

Quoted from Alan_L:

If your cat is anything like mine, some of those parts will be on the floor tomorrow morning.

That is precisely why I have to bag them, at least I can find the bag. If I leave anything unattended, within minutes I hear it hit the floor!
And she is NO help when looking for them later! It's funny because for two years she did not venture onto countertops, now for whatever reason (guess she found that's where I kept her "toys") she is all over them.

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

Is it common to run into spraying issues when bringing home a cat into a house with an existing cat

Fortunately / unfortunately I have experience with both outcomes... we have adopted multiple cats, male / female...some from shelters, some off the street. As I think upon it, only TWO of those would continue to mark territory, BOTH of them had been outdoor cats for sometime before we took them in, got their shots, removed their "kittyhood". Only those felines were the ones marking, our other cats whom came to us from shelters did NOT spray. I'll be eager to see what others say, I have room for one more but am hesitant for the reasons listed above!

Welp, inherited another edition to the Atari Daze feline family.
His owner's moved out with out taking him so we now have 10 outside cats. All males save one who just gave birth yesterday! No idea yet how many she had.
If any one in or around Houston has the space for a sweet boy, let me know. He currently goes by Snowball II but that is open for negotiations he says. He would prefer to keep his 'boys' but that too is up for discussion with him.
He's going to get food a water here as long as needed but my landlord is sure gonna be upset. He makes our total count 13, before the new kittens. And I honestly think he's the daddy, but that's another Maury Povich episode for another day.
3 inside and the 10 outside. Apparently I'm a crazy cat guy.

#2545 3 years ago

Omg ya'll, it wasn't murray who was killed.
My wife didn't know the corner neighbors 4 houses down also had a black and white young cat. Thus when she saw it in the road near their house she assumed it was our murray. I even commented that murray had been so far from home. So yesterday I get a call from my kid asking if I was sure it was murray who was dead, as a cat looking a lot like him was chilling on our porch. I said no, but that I had buried a deceased black and white cat his size. It was just coincidence murray had been gone for about 24 hours.
To my surprise Murray was home on the porch eating some dinner last night when I got home from work.
What a bitter sweet time!
Here he is, chilling with his brothers.

Good pet owners don't let their cats run the streets. Here it is illegal to let them run loose

Unfortunately my landlord only allows us to keep 3 of our 15 cats inside (12 of them arw feral anyway) When other people move away and leave their cats to run wild they end up here for food and water.
At least we can do that.

Had I tried to rub that belly, like it appeared he wanted, he would not had any of it. Taluse is not tame at all compared to Murray his bro.
Murray from a baby was not intimidated by people at all and still just loves to get attention. Just like their dad, Tiger aka Thomas, one could not tell they were feral.
Tiger and Murray will both just saunter into the house if given half an opportunity. If we did not already have 3 indoor felines, those two would be more then welcome inside.

Here are Duchess and Taluse, one of her offspring. He is also one of the 'three stooges' I've posted about before.
Taluse is at it again, resting his head ON the metal grill support. Something is wrong with this cat!

This handsome fellow is Tiger.
He's been hanging around outside about 3 years now. He's one of our 13 total kitties.
We recently had had him fixed and got all his shots, he's getting ready for a new permanent home. Our oldest moved away to college this year and he has decided he needs a companion. Being that Tiger is so friendly, we decided we would bring him inside and get adjusted to indoor life. The boy will pick him up labor day weekend.
We are very happy for both the boys. I sincerely think Tiger had been a pet before.
Last night on MY side of the bed, and today on HIS couch. They are going to get along famously.
I do admit I will miss Tiger, he always greeted me upon getting home, put his paws on my legs as high as he could wanting me to pick him up, so much like a small child.
Tiger, enjoy your new forever indoor home old boy!

We are fostering these four rambunctious felines for our vet. Their office is finally about finished from repairs caused by our freak freeze and they had to place all their animals for a week. These furry friends were sadly bound for a kill shelter after they were dumped on the vet's door one morning. Apparently all the no kill shelters in the area were full so we gladly accepted to care for them while their office is completed.
They are named THINGS 1 - 4.

Then the wide, I mean white one, "don't bother me". I currently can't have my kitties lay on me while I nap so they get as close possible.

Lastly, Charlie making nice with one of our outside friends, Casper. It's so funny, our inside cats nor Charlie like each other but the outside girls and he are thick as thieves.

Gawd, hope my wife does not do this

So here is the thing, ever since we were together, our pets ALWAYS like me best.
It started with the toy poodle she brought to the relationship to the next dog she found at the school she was teaching at during her first job after graduation.
Then there was the bird we had for a few years, many cats in between, the greyhounds we used to foster, even "her" dog now. They ALL have always ended up "my" animals. So lately as our outdoor cat numbers have dwindled she has been "threatening" to bring home a cat to be "hers". Yesterday was that day.
I give it six months for the little tyke to grow up a bit, then we will see with whom he ends up taking a liking to.
He sure is a vocal critter, I figure he is still looking for his mom and siblings. He's found a good home though.

He is so funny. So you recall he was found on the side of the road, but since bringing him into our home, he has been only an inside boy. This Saturday I was doing something outside on the porch briefly and left the door a jay, I turned around to see he snuck out, before I could scold him, he paused and decided, oh hell no, poof, he was back in the house.

So I had to sleep on the couch last night, not why you think!
Charlie the dog had stomach problems.
So I come home from work today and found these two canoodling.
WTF
They are typically mortal enemies.
Yea, you are so busted.

We have Charlie talking with The Dutchess and her offspring Casper.
Then, back on the porch, Thomas with Casper both have been coming back around recently.

There for a while The Dutchess was our only outside kitty.
Nice to see some old familiar felines.

So Apparently Casper had a litter of at least 3 before she got fixed. I had only seen one at a time until today so thought there was only one.
Whoops was I wrong.
Luckily their lopped ears indicate they have been fixed.
I think they will be known as Larry, Curly and Mo.

The past few, she has wanted to live in our youngest sons room. Well over Easter weekend, while he was away, I decided to let her go on a walkabout. Well, I created a monster. She now lives out in "the world" with our other kitties.
Son is rather put out with me at present.

Old picture but posting to remember. This little kitty, Minnie, will be put to rest today. Her kidneys have failed her and she has stopped eating and drinking.
My youngest whom is in charge of her care, away at college, phoned today that he will take her this afternoon.
She was a gift from an old neighbor that we didn't need but happily took her in. She got along with everyone as this picture clearly illustrates.
We think it was around 2008 when we got her, she was one of the good ones.
Minnie, your fine feathered friend Murray will be waiting to meet you!

Thanks everyone, my boy called and Minnie is now resting, turns out it was her liver. We did the best by her that we could, I'd like to think she did ok by having us as pet parents.
My son had spoken once about possibly taking Luci, sometime after we knew this day would come, maybe by the new year he will be ready for another feline.
Luci may be a chunk, but he is a pretty lovable chunk, and I know my son will be able to get his weight down. He was able to do that with Minnie mouser, she too was a chunk at one time.
Thanks for this thread for letting me share and seek some slight peace.
