Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

Was putting in LED's, had to go take a call for an hour, came back to this. The audible snoring of the cat made me take the picture.
Dreaming of Fish, just another tail.

I really liked this pic. It's amazing how determined cats are to get into a specific space. Visual proof of same.

I'm both sorry for the loss of Rocket and very glad for the opportunity you are giving the new brother and sister. It's an exciting time, and yet still a time of loss/mourning. Allow for both. And good on you for helping out two new pinball helpers!

Oh, oh wait...for the kitties. Never mind!

Quoted from Charlemagne1987:

I know this isn’t “cats and pinball” and this isn’t even my cat, but I saw this pure bred Maine Coon today and had to post it. This is the most beautiful cat I’ve ever seen. Check out those ears. He looks like a lynx. The owner told me he bought him for $1800 a year and a half ago. And now the breeder is selling them for $2400.
[quoted image][quoted image]

Actually, to me, that doesn't look like something I'd want for a domestic cat. It does have some "majesty" to its mane, but it's not what I'd want in my home, I don't think. I *certainly* wouldn't want to pay four figures for one, especially when there's such a need to help the myriad ones that already exist.

Quoted from cosmokramer:

Had to put my kitty down a few days ago. She was just over 20 years old.
I miss her...
[quoted image]

Aw, that really is too bad, and I'm sorry for your loss. But do remember that you gave her 20 years of a great home, love, safety, food, and security. She *knew* she was loved, for certain. Remember her well, and know that she loved you back.

Quoted from Electrocute:

Gotta move on. These are the new guys. Siblings, Champion and Kate. Will always miss Rocket![quoted image]

They actually do look related. Hope they make you happy, and you them.

You people are making me wistful...

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

There are a lot of homeless kitties that need a home.

I agree, and when I have a place of my own, I plan to rectify that for one or two of them. I miss my kitties.

Quoted from pinwiztom:

We are going to be up most of the night checking on one of our cats (Jimmy Joe 1.5yrs old)
who swallowed a 18in X 0.5in long piece of soft plastic from a mailer envelope.
He will either vomit or poop it out hopefully or worst case have a bowel blockage.
He is doing fine now acting normal eating drinking playing.
We called our vet within 10 minutes of it happening (just before 5PM), and he said to just observe him and if necessary bring him to 24hr emergency vet (only one in town).
If the cat is still OK in the morning, we will bring him into our vet for check, observation or maybe xray or last resort surgery.
Fingers crossed all goes well.[quoted image]

Sorry to hear this. I can't help but think that some creatures are just too dumb for their own good, sometimes. If it was *my* cat, though, I'd be feeling as you do, so I'm sorry, and I can relate.

#3193 2 years ago

Jimmy Joe...Jimmy Joe isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, based on those pics, is he?

You do...you do *feed* him, don't you? Actual food, right?

#3197 2 years ago
Quoted from SpyroFTW:

Nap time.
[quoted image]

See, all I want to do is reach out and pet that kitty, which would wake him/her up, and that seems unfair to me. I'd still probably do it, but it's still a bit on the unfair side.

Quoted from Electrocute:

Just “love bites”.

I loved those. My now-passed cat Zora taught me a game she wanted me to learn how to play, dubbed "The Game". Here were the rules/qualifications:

1. Zora jumps up into your lap for shared affection and body warmth.
2. After a while (no certain given time), a certain section of her person becomes "off limits to you" and if you should happen to touch her in that quadrant, she reacts by acting like she's going to bite you but really she would just "tooth" you. Sort of a "Gotcha!" moment, and you remind her that she "accidentally almost ate my hand".
3. You have options at this point. Option A: INSTANT ENGAGEMENT!!!! It's on! There is nothing *but* trying to touch The Forbidden Quadrant and you must Battle The Beast Cat for supremacy. Option B: Temporary obedience/agreement. You decide to avoid The Forbidden Quadrant and continue to pet the kitty as per usual, but must never touch The Forbidden Quadrant, lest we go to INSTANT ENGAGEMENT!!!!
4. Assuming Option B has been chosen, another inconsistent passage of time passes, with you successfully steering clear of The Forbidden Quadrant, when suddenly, as if out of left field, The Forbidden Quadrant has *grown in size*, and now comprises at least half of said cat's physical body. Both options are still open to you, but...
5. Eventually, there are no spots left on the kitty that are *not* The Forbidden Zone. You have no choice but to physically engage with said kitty FOR YOUR VERY LIFE!!!! Or, you know...at least until she gets tired of The Game and decides that she's won. Again.

I direly miss The Game.

Quoted from Coyote:

This is AWESOME.
One of my cats, Artie, still loves the "Blanket Monster" game. It's not as detailed, but:
1. Artie gets up on bed, and looks relaxed.
2. He will seemingly abently 'paw' (no claws) at the comforter.
3. If something under the comforter moves (i.e. My hand), the claws come out, and he goes BEZERK trying to KILL it.

Oh, yes...absolutely. This is part-and-parcel of the kitty-on-the-bed experience.

Dang, that's hard. Glad you were able to make him a good home for the time he had.
