Poor Rat Face after bad injuries three years ago


My sister's cats, George & Lenny


Rat Face again, at about 4 months


Let's see yours! (I'll add more later.)

[elleng]

1. Good ones!

How you feeling today, BV???

[Bertha Venation]

2. RELIEVED! FREE!

and to you!

[EvilAL]

3. The first day with the cat,

we found him outside trying to get in, since it was winter he would have probably died. He didn't like the dog and ran downstairs so I snapped this pic while he sat atop my amp with the dog just waiting for him to come play..

[cyberswede]

19. I love goldens!

What are their names?

[EvilAL]

23. The cat is Mr. Noodles,

but he responds to 'kitty', the previous owners must have called him that all the time and the dog is Molly, who we didn't name, we got her as a pup from a friend that bought her and found out she was allergic to her. I don't like giving animals human names, but what can ya do..

[cyberswede]

24. "Mr. Noodles!"

Molly's a cute name - I bet it fits her.

My oldest brother had a golden named Angel - and then my other brother's wife named their daughter Angel, so I get what you mean about human names for pets. LOL

[EvilAL]

25. yeah, we have a friend named Molly

but she knew we didn't name her, just weird when she was around..

[EvilAL]

26. Around here those noodle packs

with seasoning you add are called Mr. Noodles, so I told my GF and kids that in all my life, through all the pets I've had, I've never named one, it was always my older sister or nephew or parents or my kids... I said this cat is called Mr. Noodles. My first name was gonna be Reject, because it seemed like someone abandoned him, but they didn't want that.. So Mr. Noodles he was.

[mockmonkey]

4. adults

These are our Adults, called that because they are our 4 original cats. All of our other 9 cats are adults as well.

Starting at top left is Pie, then Patches, Cinn and Kerry. Not a great picture but different than the ones I usually show.


[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

I've always loved Rat Face's face.

[LoveMyCali]

34. It looks like

your variety pack of cats has arrived.

[Bertha Venation]

40. mockmonkey, my memory is very bad

(In fact I think I need to see a neurologist)

Have you and I talked together about our cats? I have ten . . .

I think your Adults are beautiful. And they seem happy with each other.

[mockmonkey]

51. a long time ago

You had posted some pics of Rat Face on DU2 and you talked about one of your cats peeing on a counter or something.

Funny how cats that hate each other will sleep next to each other.

[hunter]

5. We recently got this dog from the animal shelter.

Here he is hunting gophers in our lawn. He hasn't caught one yet.



(One of my 100% chemical photography experiments...)

[truegrit44]

6. Send him to my place for training

My corgi and mini schnauzer are the mole getting things you've ever seen. I find a dead mole on our place every few days, course our yards and pastures are like land mines with all the holes.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

7. nice solarization!

I was a photo student, long ago and far away!

[Locut0s]

9. OMG I love Otis!! :D

[cyberswede]

20. He's a sweetie!

He's a little over a year old, but still a total puppy.

[RILib]

27. What is that on Otis' collar?

[cyberswede]

30. The receiver for our underground fence.

It beeps when he gets near the buried wire, and he stays in the yard.

[cyberswede]

21. What a handsome fella!

His old is he?

[undeterred]

22. 5 yrs old

He's like a little prince.

[NM_Birder]

62. he LOOKS like an "Oliver"

[LoveMyCali]

11. My two beautiful girls, Symone and Raven (yes, I know)

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]


Symone looking scandalized

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]


The evil Raven, pretending to be asleep so I don't make her get off me.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[cyberswede]

18. OMG - that picture of Symone is so funny!

Scandalized, indeed!

[baldguy]

12. My beautiful little buddy Orchid.

And Zelda OBM

[Bertha Venation]

46. Orchid takes my breath away!

And Zelda -- I want to take Zelda home with me, and pet her, let her get into my lap, and never let her go.

[polly7]

13. Awww ... all so gorgeous.

My Obie and Hobo:

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

Impossible to get a good picture of Obie because camera apparently means belly rub.


And Hobo, mouse catcher extraordinaire ... except that he brings them to me and then meows for me to notice, they escape and run away and he gets to catch them all over again! I'm not sure if I've had five or six mice here or just one.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[Bertha Venation]

45. hahahahaha

"camera means belly rub" Obie is a cutie.

Hobo is gorgeous! Is he obese, or just big? No offense meant; one of our cats is obese and in order to put her on a diet we had to put everyone on a diet . . . hoo, boy, this is big fun.

[polly7]

55. No, he's just a big kitty, 19 lbs at last weigh-in.

He's not fat at all, jut really big and tall and long. He's my bottle-fed baby, my Dad found him alone in the hopper of his combine, no idea how he got in there ... I'm sure he couldn't have been more than a week old.

[Bertha Venation]

58. The ultimate rescue.

WOW. In a combine. That beats our Cocoa's genesis; someone we didn't know found her in the undercarriage of their pickup truck. Apparently she had taken a ride. They took her to the vet and left her, just as I arrived to pick up cat food. The rest is history.

Good for you for taking him in.

[polly7]

59. Awww ... so glad your Cocoa found her home with you.

What a great coincidence you and she were right where you needed to be.

[Texasgal]

14. CUTIES!!!

Quincy and Beaulah waiting on dinner to be served!

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[Bertha Venation]

44. Wow . . . do they always wait this quietly, or

did you catch them in a rare moment?

They remind me of my grandmother's dog, Susie. Happy memories. Thanks!

[Texasgal]

53. Well, not always!

Only when they know it's homemade food and not kibble.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. My two Lovemuffins -

Pretty Girl in front and Big Boy is behind her:

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[LoveMyCali]

16. Awww,

I love the way their paws are crossed. I hope some day my girls decide they are friends. They chase each other and play sometimes but for the most part Symone just looks at me like she's saying "ugh, that thing is still here?" when she sees the kitten.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. heh, heh... mine are brother and sister. They get along for the most part but,

every once in a while he "plays" to rough with her which, is kind of weird because outside
she is the Queen Huntress that Rules The Forest!

Thanks for the kind comment about my furbabies.

Your Raven looks a lot like my Pretty Girl

[LoveMyCali]

28. She does look very much like her

I chose her fake sleeping picture because her eyes glow yellow in most of her awake pictures and she looks like demon kitty. She's really just a spoiled little love bug.

[spiderpig]

29. Phyllis the Dog!!!

[Bertha Venation]

43. spiderpig, is Phyllis a mutt, or

was she bred to look like this? I think I see some Corgi, but I don't know what else. She's cute!

[spiderpig]

54. Bertha, we adopted her from the Davis, CA SPCA

They said she's a Corgi/Papillon mix. So she looks like a small Corgi with a long coat & fluffy ears. Estimated 2-4 yrs old. Mr. pig says he's never heard the word "adorable" as much in his life as he's heard in the month since we adopted her. LoveLoveLove!

[Bertha Venation]

56. Adorable is definitely the word.

[Rob H.]

31. It doesn't take much arm-twisting...

so here's Summer, who I adopted just over 5 years ago. She's a Siamese mix and is super-chatty.

On the lid of the clothes hamper, where she hangs out while I'm in the shower:



Look into her eyes--you will give her treats....

[LoveMyCali]

35. Those eyes

could convince me to give her anything she wanted! What a beauty!

[Arugula Latte]

36. I loooove chatty kitties. They are always so smart and personable, errr, catable.

[mokawanis]

32. At this time my only pet is a praying mantis

Never thought I'd get into having an insect as a pet but my mantis is pretty cool. Always crawls onto my hand when I reach into her cage, and she's happy to climb around on my arms. She's also cheap to feed - eats a cricket every other day or so.

[Bertha Venation]

41. mokawanis, does she have a name? n/t

[bluedigger]

33. Cleopatra Marie in the Black Hills

[Bertha Venation]

42. Oh, she looks like such a good dog!

Obedient, eager, happy! Or am I way off?

[bluedigger]

48. Yes and no.

She's very intelligent. Also stubborn.

[Rhiannon12866]

37. My dog, Jack: :)

[LoveMyCali]

38. Awww, what did you do to Jack

to make him look so grumpy? Maybe it's just that I'm not used to seeing him sit still.

[Rhiannon12866]

39. Awwwww! Thank you! He's probably vexed at me for two reasons

First of all, he usually makes it a point to turn away from the camera and if I'm giving it a try again he must have recently been groomed...

[a la izquierda]

47. My three strays...

Machete, the boss


Tito, after a downpour


Draper, the old boy

[Bertha Venation]

49. Strays?

Rescues? They are all three beautiful, izquierda.

[a la izquierda]

50. Thanks....

All three were strays when we took them in. They're totally spoiled now.

[woodsprite]

52. I love seeing everone's pics! Here's my Noelle!

She's a bit older now, but still a beauty!

[Bertha Venation]

57. Woodsprite, she's beautiful.

I can't tell her size. Her coloring makes me think German Shepherd . . . ?

[woodsprite]

60. Yup! German Shepherd. She was about 45lbs in that pic, just at 70lbs now.

She's absolutely great with our family and loves her 'big-dog' playtime at daycare one day a week. She's very protective. If anyone comes around our house, they'll certainly know she doesn't welcome them. I'm sure there are some door-to-door Bible thumpers that will not be back to our house any time soon.

[polly7]

61. She's gorgeous.

Speaking of Bible thumpers .... my dog Wolfie, who I had to have put to sleep about a year ago was raised by University kids who taught him a lot of tricks. He'd play dead if they pointed and said 'bang', hi-five, all the normal things, and he never forgot them. The baddest one was, when he barked at someone knocking at the door - they taught him that "FUCK OFF!" - loudly, was his cue to stop barking. He'd go on forever until he heard it. The last to move on from University couldn't keep him anymore and asked me to take him ... and of course, the only way I could stop his crazy barking was to do the same thing. Needless to say, it was a bit embarrassing and while a lot of people laughed, the Bible thumpers to this day still just leave pamphlets in my door after hearing me yell it at him twice. They don't even knock. I hope they think he's still alive, because my new Obie I'm sure would just lick them to death. He doesn't bark at all!

[Ava]

63. Chicken enjoys long walks on the beach and snuggling up to my head

because it's warm i suppose? (and yes, my cat's name is chicken)

[rogerballard]

64. Carly and Simon
