Haifa on good afghan by barbiecat76, on Flickr
This is my sweet Haifa who died in July just before we moved to our new house......we found him as a tiny kitten abandoned at a rest stop on US 101 in 19950 -

This is Boris, the 3rd of my cats. I adopted him last year because his previous owner went into care for what he thought was respite but ended up staying in the home. Because he's 11 years old and no one seems to want an older cat, plus I'm a soft touch, I volunteered to take him on. He's a delightful boy and although he was quite aggressive towards Hebe and Jasper to begin with has now settled and only occasionally chases Jasper out of the house!!
Got myself back to photobucket and it's as slow as ever for me, or perhaps it's my computer.
Marie, when I select a photo a menu runs along the top with every option from cropping to altering size and when you click on the appropriate box you can get a variety of sizes to choose from. I use medium. You do have to be patient as it crawls along at its own pace! You could crochet a shawl while you wait!!!:laugh:

My Cats are all older, I like them better then kittens. Boris looks like a stray I have out side named midnight. I could never bring him in because he sprays every where. I have been feeding him for about 4 years now.0 -

Jackie, your Boris is beautiful......I had black cats for decades. When I got Bernie, I wanted another black male but the black kitten in the litter was female so my friend who was with me convinced me that a cat with white feet was a good choice too. I got Bernie and he has turned out great, but whenever I see a black cat, I want one0 -
Boris looks just like our Bruiser, a stray outsider who is not too sure of humans. I love them all!0

Loving these pictures, the cats are so beautiful and Marie so happy you figured out how to post Sammy's picture, he is adorable.0

Patience ~ I always find older cats are somehow more appreciative of their new home and have lots of love to give. A feral cat that wonders through this way a couple of times a year is a smaller version of Boris, no doubt because he has to fend for himself and live on whatever he can catch. My neighbour was convinced for years it was a female and named it Tallulah. Haven't thought of an appropriate male name so he's tuck with it!!!
Phoebe ~ I think I might call him Boris the Bruiser from now on. He takes on my neighbour's dog as if he just knows he's going to win any fight and I have to get him away to save the dog!!!:laugh:
Barbie ~ I love your photos of Bernie with the frisky poodles. He reminds me of a previous rescued cat I had called Henry, What a gorgeous cat Haifa was too. I love black and white cats although so far I've adopted every colour but!!
Marie ~ Sammy is delightful too. If I didn't have cats and chickens I'd love a Jack Russell but don't think the mix of all three would work!

Sandy, when they are tame, they are just big babies! lol I remember going to the petting park, all kinds of 'wild' animals in protection there.. one deer followed me and nudged my elbow for popcorn and peanuts. The raccoons were in a large pen, and there was a tiny space for them to put their paws out to our fingers.. their paws were like hands, with little fingers, little wrinkles at the knuckles, so precious. The male deer can become aggressive at certain times of year, even if they are tame. The fawn was not ready to trust right away, so I guess they are born with some reserve, depending on how much human interaction they get from birth... I just love them all0 -
Sandy - i meant to say it was a pic of my pet deer...she has now passed on but we had her for 14 years. We got her when she was 1 day old and they are like babies - fed every 4 hours with a bottle and fretted badly if I wasn't around!! She followed me everwhere and used to love going for walks at night with the dogs. Her fawn was not so friendly - I guess because she was never handled.
These photos are also of the pets which we had for 14 yrs - the peacock {Henry) was sadly killed by dogs which was very hard to take - as it was deliberate. He looked quite spectacular strutting around my garden.
I always wanted to have a petting zoo where the kids from town could come out and feed a lamb or calf - a lot of them don't have any contact with animals, but it just never happened and never will now that we have moved to town.
As you can see, everthing lived in harmony...will have to find some pics of my chooks - we ended up with 50 in the end and they produced a tray of beautiful free range eggs a day.
The ginger cat I inherited from a friend who died and no one wanted this 15 yr old boy...He was so bossy and wouldn't let my cats inside so not an easy cat to like. He lived for another 2 years so he had a good life with us.

pjsatticPhoebeWaleskaGA, and I'm guessing that you are Phoebe, you so are right about our animals being good for our souls. I sometimes take my dogs to a dog park in Sausalito CA. One day I sat down on a bench there next to a woman who looked to be in her 80s. I asked which dog was hers. She said, "Oh, I don't have a dog anymore. I live in the senior apartments up the street and can't have a dog now. But I walk over here and sit awhile and watch the dogs everyday, because they make me happy." Then she added, "It's better than meditation!"
Phoebe, you are a true gypsy. I just read your profile. The only thing I love more than being on the road watching the world go by is being on foot, or on a bike, or in a kayac watching it go by slowly. Safe travels!0 -
Just to add a funny pet story, at the Sausalito dog park, the park committee keeps a supply of balls and tennis rackets in the park for lobbing balls for dogs to chase. The story of that picture of Plato with the tennis racket is that we had arrived at the park when only one dog and human were there. I was talking with the other human. Plato was impatient to get to chase balls, so he grabbed a racket and started running around us in circles, swinging it.0
