[SW FL Dem]

60. This is Jamie

A stray with a broken tail who joined our family 16 years ago.

[cedahlia]

82. Awww!

What a great shot! Love those markings and pretty eyes!

[SW FL Dem]

88. Thanks! Jamie's a fighter.

She was found under a bridge with her littermates at 4 weeks. Someone dumped them. Jamie was the last to be placed because she had a crooked tail. She's now 16 and still kicking.

[LynneSin]

2. Here are my beloved cats

This is Evita, the Batkiller:


and Abbott, the self-licker:

[Zuni]

3. Abbot looks a lot like the cat I had growing up

at least in the face

Very pretty cats you have

[Wickerman]

4. Reece

he rocks







and a mystery cat, searching DU:

[Zuni]

7. great pics

Cats find the funniest places to perch

[MissMillie]

13. That mystery cat looks a lot like my Newman...

may he RIP.

[LynneSin]

24. what is your cat posting about on DU?

Even cats know the best websites on the internet!

[DS1]

5. Minou

[DS1]

16. I guess he doesn't get the love

:shrug:

[Zuni]

20. That cat is awesome

I love tabbies.

[zanana]

58. I have a Minou, too. Are you French?

Ever since I was a kid, I've had one cat named Minou. I call the cats in the house by going; "minou,minou,minou"...

[DS1]

96. No, but his original owner was. He was an older guy, and when he

died poor Minou got the boot. I took him in, he's my favorite cat of all time.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

84. Vien! Minou Minou!

He's a handsome boy!

[Teddy_Salad]

6. Here's two of my three

Busby and Karri

[Zuni]

8. are they from the same litter?

I find that most cats that snuggle like that are from the same batch

[Teddy_Salad]

18. No, but there is a story

The one on the left, Busby, is a male.
We had him for three years before the one on the right, Karri, a female, appeared on our property one day.

She was living in the wood pile in our back yard and was just a tiny little kitten at the time, about 10 weeks old when we discovered her.

For about a week I fed her but she would not let me near her.
She would *hiss* at me if I got too close.
Eventually though I was able to trap her in a havahart trap and then the fun began.
She was feral and we had no idea how to deal with this cat.
I did some research on the internet and learnt that the best way to go about rehabilitating a feral cat was to isolate it in a small cage for a short time then in a room on it's own and then eventually into the house.

Well, at first, we couldn't even look at this cat. She would hiss at us and if we picked her up, she would poo and pee everywhere. The poor little thing was that terrified of people.

But then we introduced her to Busby and the sudden change in her was unbelievable.
I swear he was teaching her how to go about things. He would go up to her and then come up to us and sit in our laps, like he was showing her that we were ok.
Well, she adored him immediately and wouldn't leave his side. It was like he had become her surrogate 'mother'.
She would follow him everywhere and watch what he did and then she'd start doing the same things. She idolised him and still does.

It's been two years since then and now Karri is a normal cat, albeit a tad skitty, who absolutely loves affection and pets.
And she follows me around everywhere and is still madly in love with Busby.

I really think that without Busby, we would have had a much more difficult time rehabilitating Karri.

:)

[CatWoman]

53. damn!!!

all I get are asshole cats!!!!!

[MissMillie]

14. so sweet

I love kitties who cuddle, with each other and with me.

[havocmom]

9. My little sun worshipper

Camping trip: Datil Wells, New Mexico. He loved it
<>
At home in the yard, just enjoying life as only an old cat can.
<>

Sure miss the old rascal. But as a kind friend reminded me, he's where the sun won't set on him.

[Zuni]

11. Unfortunately

I can't see your pics.
I love it when cats stretch out in the sunspots though.
I'm sorry to hear he passed on

[havocmom]

32. If you can't see, go here

http://community.webshots.com/photo/102518981/134778941DqGQIa
Louie's slide show is there. I do need to add a couple pics we got the night before he had his stroke.

Weird, cuz they show on my 'puter. I need to get a different hosting site. Anybody have suggestions?

Wish we had a digital camera back before the other two passed. They were both real lookers. Good thing I have them on old fashioned film!

[Zuni]

39. a great looking cat

He looks a lot like Neko, my best friend as a kid

[Misunderestimator]

10. Here's mine

Who, by the way, just tried to murder a lizard. Why oh Why does he promptly bring them in the house when he catches them? Why can't he stay out on the lanai? When he brings them in the house to play with one, I actually have to let him catch the poor bugger again because it's too fast for me. Then I save it.

[MissMillie]

15. He's adorable

What's his name?

[Misunderestimator]

19. Otis... and he's a terror.

Yesterday he jumped up on my desk for some attention, as he usually does. Something freaked him out (though I still have no idea what) and he literally flew off the desk right at me, digging his claws into my forearm. What a freak. But I love the little bastard.

[Teddy_Salad]

21. Oh dear

He has 'mischief' written all over his little face.

You know the reason why he brings what he catches inside is because he's giving it to you as a gift.
It's his way of saying "Thanks! Here's a little prezzie for ya."

You should be grateful for these little offerings of thanks. ;)

[Misunderestimator]

31. Oh yeah... I'm grateful

At least it's a bit better than the field mice and chipmunks I used to get from another cat who has since passed on. :)

[zanana]

120. Does anyone have an American Bobtail?

When I first saw Amos, he was living in the woods across from my house. I thought he's been in a terrible accident, because his tail was only three inches long. When I took him in and took him to the vet, I found out that he was supposed to look that way! Anyway, he's a very friendly, high energy kitty who loves to play. Wish I could post a picture, but I don't have the technology.

[Lorien]

122. Here's a photo of one:

a similar breed, the Pixie-bob:


bred to look like a little bobcat, but no cross breeding with bobcats is involved.

[MissMillie]

12. Here's Millie

When she was just a little kitten.



And here's Millie and Newman together. Newman had to be put down in January 2003. I miss him.

[Zuni]

23. Millie is camouflaged

Siamese make great pets. They are the exact opposite of their reputation---they are among the friendliest pets in the world, at least that is what i have found.

[Teddy_Salad]

25. Oh wow!

They are beautiful!

The faces on them are gorgeous.

Sorry to hear about Newman. He looks like he was one cool kitty.

[havocmom]

33. That top one should be on Kitten Break!

It is wonderful!

Some Duer put me on to this site.
http://www.kittenbreak.com/
Your beautiful dreamer would be a hit!

Edited for link

[Zuni]

51. great link

I sent it to my mom, who will love it. thanx

[MissMillie]

64. thanks for the link

I submitted the photo

[Bertha Venation]

83. I just saw Millie on Kitten Break!

Yippee!
:bounce:

[MissMillie]

89. How cool is THAT?

:headbang:

I always knew she was a star.

[adriennel]

17. Mr Man

[Zuni]

27. what a handsome fellow

very exotic looking, especially with that asian looking cart....

[Teddy_Salad]

29. Mr Man looks like a little tiger

He's beautiful and I love his cart too.

Very cool. :smoke:

[adriennel]

50. awww, thanks!

he is a tiger.....both a total badass and a complete sweetie (badass to neighborhood cats, complete sweetheart with me) actually he loves other cats and is extremely vocal rather than physical

I am fascinated by the places cats choose to sleep : ) Mr Man loves that cart at my mom's house. I just got him a kitty hammock and he sleeps in it on my front porch.

[parasim]

26. meet Jaz

here she is in various poses. apparently she can't decide if she is going to attack that catnip toy or just stare at it forever...



nah... she'll hold out for the tummy rub instead.

[Zuni]

28. Jaz looks a lot like my cat

I have got a little grey one now, with bits of caramel too. A little bit darker but similar to jaz

[parasim]

36. that's cool...

and hey, thanks for this thread. i love to see other people's cats.

it's unfortunate that we can't see your little kitty.

[Zuni]

41. I don't have a digital camera

And i am at work, so I don't have any pictures of Sooty here

[tjwash]

30. heres one...

[cedahlia]

85. Tuxedo cat!

I had a kitty that looked like that when I was little. I do love those tuxedo cats...so cute!

[curse10]

34. This is Oberon and Seamus

Oberon


Seamus

[Misunderestimator]

35. Is Oberon a Russian Blue?

They're very cute... and great names.

[curse10]

40. We don't know for sure

we got him at the denver dumb friend's league, but the vet suggested it. He's a completely solid beautiful grey color. No striping at all.

[Zuni]

43. I think it is

a Russian blue. exotic

[Lorien]

97. Hey! My kitty's name is Oberon too!

Here's mine:


your Seamus looks a little like my Puck, too (posted further down this thread). Have you ever had people ask you where Oberon's name came from? Happens to me all the time, which doesn't speak well for our educational systems in this country.

Beautiful kitties, BTW!

[sus]

118. that is one beautiful cat.

seriously. GORGEOUS!!!

[Lorien]

121. Thanks sus! I'm thinking of entering him

in a local cat show that benefits the SPCA (it's a household pet contest, not a purebreed contest-Oberon is a Maine Coon, but a "pet quality" one). Attendees are supposed to donate money in the name of their favorite cat in the show, and the cat who makes the most in donations for the SPCA wins. I think he could do fairly well, but I'm worried about how freaked out he'd be. Has anyone here done cat shows? Maybe it would be a good experience for him in the end...I don't know.:shrug:

[curse10]

123. we get it all the time

And I think we both have kitties fit for that regal name :-)

[Ann Arbor Dem]

126. What a gorgeous face!!

I love the tufts at the end of the ears.

[flamingyouth]

37. Meet Papa

Some of you have seen him before. This was taken at his foster home, right before I brought him home in February.

[Zuni]

42. he has a full on lions mane

he really looks like a mini-lion

[tjwash]

44. Nice...

...you did good by adopting him.

[Teddy_Salad]

46. WOW!

Check out the mane on that cat!

I've never seen a kitty cat with a mane before, at least not one as cool as that.

How old was he when you adopted him?
Did he adapt well to you and his new home?

[flamingyouth]

79. He's awesome

It took him about, oh, ten minutes to bond with us! He is completely sweet and floppy. He only has two teeth (both of them canines). He had a horrible case of stomatitis (inflammation/infection of the gums) and had to have basically all of his teeth removed.

He's hardly suffering for it, though. Right now he's munching his way through part of a can of Smoked Sockeye Salmon. The abuse here at our house is inhumane, as I'm sure you can imagine.

The funny thing is, because he hardly has teeth, his tongue flops out a lot, so he looks a bit dumb. But he's very smart and sweet, and he can beat any of you up the stairs in our house (and he loves to race you!).

[CatWoman]

54. OMG!!! He has a mane just like Female

Is he Turkish angora?

got to be -- I can see that silky coat.

He also has that disdainful look on his face like Female.

They call that color "black smoke"

[flamingyouth]

80. I don't really know what he is

But that sounds like it could be. His coat is gorgeous - silky black on top, and kind of fuzzy white underneath, so he looks gray, but he's literally black AND white.

He's most handsome. :hi:

[Lorien]

105. What a beautiful Smoke kitty!

maybe a Maine Coon, Siberian or Norwegian forest cat? Is he a big guy?

[wysimdnwyg]

38. OK, let's try a new host

This is Bali

[Teddy_Salad]

45. Bali is cool

Love them stripes!

[wysimdnwyg]

52. He's a little wary in that shot

That's the day I brought home the dog. Bali's checking her out.

[cheezus]

47. I wish I could have a *real* cat

but the University says no, and the rent here is oh so cheap.

[Lorien]

93. Puck practices kitty yoga

it's not just an exercise, it's a way of life!

[LynneSin]

48. Wouldn't it be great to have one great big DU Cat gathering

We'd all bring our cats to a party with plenty of cat treats & catnip for everyone. We even could put some kewl looking party hats on our cats

[Zuni]

49. my cat would not like wearing a hat

she would squirm and fight being decorated every step of the way

[Teddy_Salad]

55. I dunno Lynne

I'd be worried Evita would eat my cats!!! :scared:

;)

[LynneSin]

57. Think about it - Abbott is still alive

He has a nasty scratch on his nose from Evita, but he's still alive.

it's BATS that Evita hates

[CatWoman]

59. Evita seems to be 99% pure bitch

:D

[LynneSin]

61. She takes after her owner

:eyes:

[cedahlia]

56. Here's my girl...

O8)

[MissMillie]

65. She's so beautiful!

And she looks so soft.

[cedahlia]

86. Thank you!

I'm a proud mom! And she really is sooooo soft. She is a fastidious groomer, too, so even with her long hair I never have to worry about matting. She's had quite a rough life (I'm her fourth--and final--owner) but despite all the trauma and upheaval she's experienced, you'd never know it to look at her beautifully groomed coat. (I think it must be vanity...she seems much too proper and dignified to ever let herself get all matted!) :)

[ironflange]

62. This is Nicki

aka Crackerz



You can't see it here, but her other eye is gold.

[Teddy_Salad]

72. I love the picture

Very nice.

[ironflange]

81. Thanks!

That was kind of a fluke picture, just firing off shots to use up a roll. I'm really proud of it.

Here's another from that session:



You can almost see her ass through there.

[ronnykmarshall]

63. Well if you insist!

Cosmo and Ricco snoozin'!



Cosmo lookin for trouble.



Ricco trying to stay out of trouble.



The late and great Mickey gettin' some of that So Cal sun.

[MissMillie]

66. So sweet!

I have a Cosmo too. I'll have a picture of him when I pick them up from the developer tomorrow.

[Zuni]

70. top pic is excellent

very very lovable

[Lorien]

102. Awww!

so sweet! I wanna rub that tummy!

[northzax]

67. here you go

[AspenRose]

68. Feh

Tacky, tacky, tacky
:eyes:
:evilgrin:

I'm at work so can't post pictures of Figaro here.

[northzax]

74. tacky?

what, cause I'm proud of my snow leopard? hey, those things are rare as hell, it takes a lot of effort to get one these days, you know.

[MrsMatt]

69. Bettina

Dearly departed 1984-2003
Missed every day

[Zuni]

71. I'm sorry

but she is in a place full of mice, birds and sunny spots now

[MrsMatt]

73. Don't forget moles,

she loved to catch moles!

Thanks for the sentiments - she had a long and happy life, and someday I'm convinced that we'll be together again.

[Zuni]

77. I hope you will be

I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet. They are as much a part of the family as anyone else

[mopaul]

75. mr. fuzzy pants

[Teddy_Salad]

90. Oh, he's so cute!

What does he use for litter? Gravel?

[TrogL]

76. Smokey and Tyger

Smokey


Tyger

[Zuni]

78. lovely cats

Tyger has very pretty markings. exotic looking

[curse10]

125. those two look like my two boys!

:-)

[texas1928]

87. Found an interesting cat pic

Story that goes with it.

My friend sent this photo (below) to me of her cat playing with the shower curtain in her tub. When my friend took the picture, she thought there was just ONE cat in the bathroom... until she saw the picture and realized that apparently the kitten had company! Even though the "ghostly" eyes in the tub belong to a real hidden kitty, it sure does look wild! Thought you would appreciate this!

--Marisa

[Teddy_Salad]

91. Wow! Ghostly kitty eyes

Rather spooky but a great photo.

[Zuni]

112. that is creepy

that 'ghost cat' is creepy indded. Great pic

[Lorien]

92. Here's Oberon, Puck and Miro:

Oberon the Maine Coon:



Puck the Turkish Angora:




Miro the pound kitty (his only open-eyed photo)!:

[cedahlia]

95. Gorgeous, gorgeous!

I'm in awe of your beautiful babies!!! Oberon is positively majestic!

[amerikat]

98. Oberon should play Gandolf if there is ever a lord of the rings with

cats

[Lorien]

100. Lol! A friend suggested Mithrandir when he was a kitten

(Gandalf's elvish name) I didn't think that this little guy:

would become this (still growing) boy:


He can be a silly goober, too

[Lorien]

99. Thanks! There's another Oberon on post #34

I've never known another pet with that name, and wouldn't you know it, another one is owned by a DUer!

Obie is my sweet baby; such a wussy pussy, despite his "majestic" looks, lol!

[Zuni]

113. excellent pics

I love the one with the little one nipping at the ankles---funny indeed.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

94. Presenting: Montana and Simba!

Here is Montana:




Here is Simba:




And from beyond the grave: Fergus (middle cat)

[Lorien]

111. Pretty kitties

they look very content. :-)

[amerikat]

101. I have nine kittiens.......4 are ready for adoption

here's one. cute, friendly and fiesty.

[Lorien]

103. Awww! I'm wishing I had a bigger place!

with a mug like that, he's sure to find a home in no time!

[amerikat]

106. they don't take up much room.....they're little

see......tiny......take up almost no room at all.

[Lorien]

117. Morning kick

for the adoptable ones. :-)

[flamingyouth]

107. Here are Tiffany & Hepburn, our Balinese cats

[Lorien]

109. Beautiful!

those blue eyes are amazing! What sort of personalities do they have? (I've found that various breeds can have rather extreme personalities).

[flamingyouth]

110. They are both sweet as can be and hilarious!

Hepburn talks all the time. Tiffany is now very old (over 16) but she's still feisty as all get out. :-)

Balinese is a good breed, apparently. They've been great cats. I've had them for more than 12 years now.

[Lorien]

116. I think I read that Balinese are very

intelligent and devoted-hard to leave alone at home for long periods of time, as I recall. I got Puck, my Turkish Angora, because of the Turk's legendary intelligence and sense of humor. She lives up to the breed's reputation, just as Oberon has a textbook Maine Coon personality. It's odd that temperment, intelligence, devotion, etc. can be bred into an animal just as blue eyes or build can. :shrug:

[Zuni]

114. They are great

looks like the one on the right has some Tabby in her---she has got the M markings on her forehead

[amerikat]

108. cat threads are long threads........kick(nt)

[Zuni]

115. I love it when DU shows off their furry companions

there are some wonderful shots here.

[sus]

119. Jack & Stella

[LynneSin]

124. I think Jack & Stella should stay with me while you're on vacation

pretty please!!!

[sus]

128. no way. Evita will KILL them.

Jack's only defense is sitting on her.

[Lorien]

127. Beautiful!

Jack looks like he's as soft as can be! :-)

[Zuni]

129. I guess Jack is the handsome fella

who is featured in your avatar?
Great cats. I love your avatar picture--great cat face.

[sus]

130. yes, that's "JUST JACK!" the black one is Stella.
