Crazy Cat People Only!

trmndsblndtte

I'm currently covered in cat.

I have 3: Gracie (8 yrs, DL, tiny and fluffy), TB ("Teebsy", 4 yrs, black cat - smart and cuddly), and Oliver (black and white like a cow, 4 yrs, kind of a clown and very talkative - his mom was a siamese)

I got "my boys" because I thought Gracie needed companionship and the rescue said it would be better to get 2 kittens so the kittens would play together and be less annoying.

My 2 toddlers are in my ticker below....Sheldon and Chewie.

We rescued Sheldon (the gray one) in January from a no-kill shelter, when he was about 7 months old. We rescued Chewie (the orange fluffball) at the end of July from another shelter, when he was about 4 month old. Fortunately they have gotten along almost from the minute we brought Chewie home (and found that Sheldon had somehow trapped himself in a suitcase).

They both sleep with me and my husband, and Chewie will snuggle right up into my neck if I let him. I think he's part Maine Coon, he's so big already for less 6 months. He also follows me around like a dog, 'chirps' all the time, and if I could harness the volume of his purring I could power my house.

Sheldon is part Savannah (according to the vet) and likes water...almost to a fault. He will come into the shower with us and plays in his water bowl. Tonight he figured out how to open the cupboard above the fridge and I found him in there after I heard the cupboard door shut.

Just like little kids, and so much fun

I have a 3 year old kitty that I got for a birthday present when I first moved and knew no one so I was super excited! His name is Wilson (yes like the volleyball *ahem awesome Halloween costume ahem*) and he is the silliest cat.

He will lay obediently in the tub when he gets dirty and needs a bath, and if I happen to be in the tub, he'll sit on the edge and try to drink the tub water. HAHA! He also does this hilarious "monkey walk" where he will run sideways and hunch his back and his hair stands up, he's usually startled when he does this or if I accidentally trip on something and scare him TEEHEE.

He sleeps on one couch cushion that has a permanent dent in it, he comes when called, well, about 90 percent of the time, loves human food that he only gets sparingly (he has stolen chicken off my plate before the booger lol) and when you are in the kitchen, he'll stand up on his hind legs, mew really loud and put his front paws on my leg and reach as high as he can. Sometimes he'll do that anyways if he wants to be held. I can hold that cat any which way and he'll just lay there He will lick you and will nudge your hand if he is upset you aren't petting him. HEHE.

He sleeps on my pillow or my bed next to me at night and he's there when I wake up and he's at the door when I come home. I LOVE MY CAT!!!!!

I have a one-year-old tortoiseshell cat named Zoe. (That's her on my ticker.) She is the absolute definition of "tortitude." As a total kibble addict, she will not eat anything that doesn't crunch-- and she is not afraid to make her opinions known! She won't play with anything if I'm not moving it, with the exception of paper; she loves sitting on ANY kind of paper. She will also play hide-and-seek/tag with me. (She catches my attention, then does the whole fluffed tail, crabwalk cat thing. As soon as I take a step towards her, she takes off into the other room and hides. I follow her, she jumps out at me, I take off and hide in the other room, she walks through the door, I jump out at her, etc.)

She has a bit of separation anxiety if I leave the house for more than a day. She is also nervous around anyone new, and will hide for at least 5 minutes when they come in; however, she can quickly adjust to a new person. We even dogsat a small dog for a week... for the first day or two, the dog had free reign of the house. After Zoe got in a few "test" slaps on her nose (none of which drew blood, but were followed by a lot of yelping/whimpering from the dog lol), the power quickly shifted.

Charlie loves playing in his water bowl, too. It gets Bailey so mad! LOL She demands new water every time he does it, but as soon as fresh water goes down, he is in it! I have a big water bowl too because I also have a dog (named Sedona, I saw someone has a cat named Sedona too!). So Charlie will put both his front paws into the water and splash around.

ha..I can see the picture...my orange tabby (huge) likes to sit with his butt in my face...or on my shoulder...or on my hair....but only when I'm awake to "enjoy' it....when the light goes out...he goes to the end of the bed.....

You have never been truly loved, until you have been loved by a rescued black cat!!! I love my black beauties...Johnny Cash and Storin!

Lol, I have two rescued black cats as well, but I don't think I'm loved by one of them...

Kira is 4. My friend found her in the middle of some back country road when she was a teeny kitten that had just opened her eyes. His landlord didn't allow pets, so I offered to take her (never having owned a cat in my life!). When she was about 2 months old, I noticed a white patch of hair right above her tail on her back, and over the next month or so it grew all the way up to her shoulder blades so she looked like a little skunk! The vet had never seen anything like it. She eventually greyed out all over and then turned all black (and she's remained all black). I've always been a little disappointed her stripe didn't stay lol. But anyway, I think she must have been feral, because she's never been a cuddly cat lol.





And then Oscar is a little over a year old. I adopted him when I was going to school out in Spokane and brought him back home with me. He is the sweetest, cuddliest little guy I could ever imagine!



Edited to add: I couldn't get that last image of Kira to shrink down to a normal size, sorry!

Who else saves the plastic rings from milk jugs for their cats? BEST toy EVER.

And holy cow, my 2 did the funniest thing the last time I emptied and refilled the litter box. First I had to shoo them away while I was refilling it, then the second I snapped the lid on it, they BOTH got in and used it at the same time. It was hysterical to see them both vying for space.

My cat is Toby. He's so cute and has a teeny meow. He's licking all of his fur off, though.

I guess I have to chime in here. What food does he eat? Licking to the point of losing fur usually points to a food allergy. Look for a high quality food with no wheat, corn, by products, or fillers. Also, chicken and beef can be allergens. There are lots of good foods available.

Ugh, my cat licks all her fur off too. For years. Now she has a bald belly and hind legs. Vet thinks it is anxiety. We switched her to grain-free food - helped at first but now it's worse than ever

My calico has IBD and gets diarrhea from almost everything. For a long time, my vet and I thought it was a food allergy. I tried EVERYTHING, and then I finally put her on Wysong Epigen 90 out of desperation. It's 90% meat (hence the name). Her diarrhea stopped almost immediately, like within about 24 hours of eating the food. And she still eats a variety of high quality canned foods in addition to it. The food has prebiotics and probiotics in it. The way it is "cooked", cold-processed I think, the biotics are still alive when the food is eaten! It helps the tummy process the food. I'd recommend it very highly... for IBD, allergies, general health, you name it. The only problem is it's pretty expensive. $9.99 for 2 pounds. And I feed it to 3 of my cats, so I'm basically in the poor house. But it's worth it to me. I get it from Chewy dot com. But you can also order it direct from Wysong. Chewy has free shipping over $50 though.

My kitty's name is Angel. I love her very much, but we have been fighting over the middle of the best the last couple of nights. does anyone else ever have this problem?

Yes! Just give up. The cat's going to win!

Puffy was my first kitty. She was persian and siamese... She got in a fight, and was the kitty with one eye.. I would take care of that eye. She was my first baby. She had kidney problems, and passed away when I was about 15. Then I had Max. He was the Orange Ranch Cat, at my Dads. And I had a pretty long hair black kitty at the ranch too. He caught alot of mice in the ranch office. And then... My child Sophie. I adopted her from the spca. I had my eye on her that day. And she was all white. A domestic short hair. So this little girl started to look at her, and the local news were out there that day too. And in front of them I had to say, "OH Noooo little girl, I've already picked this kitten out. Shes miiiiiiine." Haaaah. And Sophie lived for 17 years, almost 18 years. She was my best friend and companion, my roomate when I got my first apartment. She was the reason I lived a few times, when I was depressed. She passed away Nov 16th 2008. I miss her alot. Shes in a white kitty urn right by my bedside. Sometimes I can dream about her and Puffy, like they are still here. I now have two female Pomeranian children.:happy: Much different than being with cat child.

I'm a crazy bunny lady :-( But there aren't many of us out there, it seems. I have a little house rabbit (she'll be three this year).

My handsome boy. Can you figure out which one he is?

^ ^ ^ he looks just like mine!

My little lover boy is Thomas, an orange and white tabby. He was 7 yrs old when I adopted him from a local shelter 2 yrs ago, and he'd been in the shelter for 3 yrs.

The markings on his face and the shape of eyes always make him look concerned. When I play my Wii he'll sit on the corner of the carpet and look at me with those eyes and he makes me laugh all the time. The first time it looked like he was saying "...ummm... am I gonna have to look for a new place to live?" Now his look has changed and it's more like "....really? ....again?"

He was a lot of company when I was laid up with my new knees. The more pain I was in the closer he wanted to be to me, and the better I got the more space he gave me.

We're so glad we found each other!

Ahhh.. What a cutie.

I have 17 cats... I don't think you can get much crazier than that lol

I have an awesome orange Norwegion Forest Cat that I adopted from the SPCA 3 years ago. He was 5 years old when I adopted him (I wanted to adopt an older cat because I know they don't get adopted like kittens do) so he's 8 now, but still very playful and a very sweet and snuggly kitty. He's a huge cat and has a really loud, deep purr (and he snores, lol! It's hilarious) and I love him to pieces.

I hope I get the picture right.

Oliver is my 5yr old, 17#, tailless gray Manx. He doesn't have an ounce of fat on him, he's just that big! (Think just a bit smaller than a cocker spaniel). He loves attention only when he wants it, and showing his belly is a dare, not an invitation. Seamus is my recent addition; he's a striped orange tabby with a penchant for purloined chicken (counters, plates, trashcan!). He's also big for a cat, but skinny at 14#s. I got him after my beloved Graciela aka Gracie (longhaired tuxedo) passed away in January. She was 13 and had diabetes which was diagnosed last summer. Two weeks into twice daily shots, she was feeling so much better that she tore her ACL in half jumping off the couch while running. She had successful surgery last August to repair the tear. I found her the morning she passed in her sleep curled in her favorite chair with her paw over her nose like she always slept. She was with me through my first apartment, college graduation, over a dozen jobs, 8 cities, 7 boyfriends, and countless ups and downs. I unknowingly adopted her the same day my grandpa passed. I miss her fiercely.

All my babies are super social; we throw parties with upwards of 30 people going in and out of the house and my kids are in the middle of the living room trying to score a headscratch. my furbabies!

Or not. Maybe this time?

3 kitties.... I believe they are all around 4 or 5 months old..... all are male.
J.J. is the smallest of them. Dorian Gray "Dory" for short is an all gray kitty. Then there's Sprocket, who is JJ's sibling.

lilpoindexter

I had a cat I named after Captain Ahab's home boy Queequeg. The cat lived with us for 17 years..then one day she disappeared. I suspect she wandered off, and met up with a younger fast dog. I really wish i would have known what happened.

theoriginaljayne

One of my cats likes to curl up on my neck while I sleep. My other cat bites my feet. I love 'em both anyway. :-)

Trechechus

My boy is a 7-year-old mutt cat called Sarek. I'm positive he's part Siberian, but the rest? Who knows?



My sister's kitty, Holly, I found behind our apartment last year as one of a litter of strays. They all have homes now.

Nile is always getting into trouble, and she is awful, but we still love her, she is 6. Gelfling is my baby siamese flame point whom weighs 22 pounds! He acts like a bully at times, but he is just a big lover, and he is 4 years old. How do you post pics in threads?

I have 4 or more cats....3 indoor kitties: Love~Bug, black and white short~hair, Sugar~Plum, grey~striped short~hair, and her sister, Amore'. The mother, Allie~Cat, is a beautiful grey, white and amber feral who lives on our little farmette. The neighbors killed her mother and many other cats, so, we took her in for awhile and she is THE SOFTEST kitty you have ever touched. After her pregnancy and when the kitties weaned{ at 9 MONTHS!!} she started crying and spraying sooo much we left her back out and "kindly" warned the neighbors NOT to touch her! {She is spayed now} We have other kitties that come on our porch where we feed Allie. Yes! I am THE CAT LADY of our lil town!:drinker:
