Animal lover here, we have a big grey tabby (actually a Brown but he's grey to the eye) which we love dearly. Though the costs of vet bills have risen so much that I may not get another pet anytime soon. Gotta be making some regular bucks to properly care for an animal, I think. |

I have a cat named TJ. He's the cutest thing ever and is the most important thing in the world to me. He's about 3 human years old now. Although today we had to pop an abscess/infection in his ear with an exacto knife (yes, it was satrilised), and I hated doing that so much. Well, luckily my dad did that, but I was right next to him and it made me cry a little. We squeezed the puss out and put some poroxide on it and now he's doing fine. ------------- http://bit.ly/1kqTR8y" rel="nofollow">  The greatest record label of all time! |

Gerinski, you've got quite the family there  . Real assortiment. Anyway, I've got two on my mind ... on my mind 'cause they aren't really mine, so technically they aren't really pets, but they do feel like members of my family. But hell ! , I'm an animal lover too, which is not to say that I love animals more than y'all put together ... but maybe I do  .Here's Harper, my step-daddy's dog (posing innocently after my mother stupidly left a door open and Harper "jumped like a bullet" ... and then came back when mom found her):   She's got this white stripe on her neck just below the chin, a stripe my mom refers to as "like that of a tigress". I swear I'll get a better angle when the opportunity comes a-knockin'. My mother took the pictures. Also, there is Clown. She lives in the car-and-truck shop of my step-daddy's work facility. I let her do all sorts of ... I'm pretty sure the admins and mods are tired of me using the word "s$%t", so I'll just go with crap ... I let her do all sorts of crazy crap, like smell my mouth, eat my yogurt, etc. Before and after a head massage:   |

Our cat Lola was born with a problem in her eyes and a couple of years ago I had to take her to the clinic to have one eye removed, I was very sad not the least because the vet said that the other eye would probably develop the same problem and would eventually have to be removed as well. She assured me that cats can still live happily without both eyes but it made me really sad.
Luckily so far the remaining eye is still fine, and she is now much better than before removing the eye, when we could clearly see that she was in pain (the eye swelled a lot and made pressure in her skull). Now she's got only one eye but she plays and looks happy again, and I love her all the same if not even more.

Fat cats are indeed the best, though we feed both ours the same amount, and in fact the other (thinner) cat eats more by pushing the other out of the bowl or hogging. Guess they're just like people...some are just bigger than others |

Really cute cats!
Here's Carmen with her 5 kittens, we only kept one of them, 4 plus the dog is enough... we know that the other 4 are well taken care of.
I was lucky to be home when she gave birth, it was really fantastic to see. The last one took a while to come out and
when he (or she, I don't know) did, it did not move at all, I thought it was born dead and felt sad, then Carmen started to lick it and push it and after a while (probably short but which felt really long) it finally started to move and he was OK. I don't have children and this must have been one of the most moving moments in my life.

Yeah, I'm not the biggest photographer - in fact I never ever take pictures, but I'd love to share with you guys my feline friend Speedy, who is about 10 years old now - eats wood, watches TV, chases butterflies though only to kill - never to eat, listens to avant guarde music with me - occasionally enjoying herself I gather... She is one of my best friends and about as mad as myself - which I absolutely adore about her. Other than that, I guess you could say that I have a voluntary pet who stays outside of the house - only visiting the house in the spring and summertime, but boy does he ever like it here! This blackbird comes every year, sits in the same tree - whistles the same erratic and mad fusion ditties as the previous year, and wakes me every morning around 5 o clock. Yeah, no wonder I call him Charlie - after the great Charlie Parker. He is one mad jazz bird this one. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

The thing I don't like is when Marcel, the one of our cats who is the most dominant and "macho" of them all kills a bird and brings it home to show it off, he does't try to eat it or anything, he just wants to show that he protects the house and he is really proud of it, we shout at him that he may not do it but we can't get too angry at him, he means it well.
That's the call of nature not his fault...

Spike will take down a rabbit, and then devour all but the tail and "innards". I arrived home one evening a few weeks ago to see a white van parked by my house with the driver searching the hedgerow with a torch. Assuming we was looking for something that had fallen off his van, I parked up and strolled down the drive to see what the problem was and offered to help. He said a black and white cat darted out of the drive opposite and hit his van, but he could not find the injured cat - fearing it was Spike I grabbed a torch from the car and joined the search, but after 30 minutes no trace could be found. In the end I thanked the guy for stopping and decided to wait for Spike to limp home (if he were able - though logic dictated that if was fit enough to run away and hide he couldn't be too hurt). More than a little upset, I went inside the house to find the kitchen floor covered in blood, further adding to my distress, I frantically searched the house to no avail and then took a mop and bucket and cleaned the house before my wife returned home. I fed the other three cats and went outside again to see if I could find him - and there he was sat on the fence as right as nine-pence without a scratch on him. I can only assume the blood-stained kitchen floor was all that remained of a hapless bunny, perhaps one Spike chased into the path of the van. ------------- What? |

I think you're right. Also when you see natural films about wild big cats - you often see these macabre scenes where the mother of these small kittens catches whatever prey and brings it back to them. This is obviously a lesson on how to kill and how to hunt. Many of our pets never experience the full training, because they are sold before any kind of bond has developed between parent and child. Plus, the parent could be a "victim" of the same procedure, as to which there is no real rebound. Of course they have instincts, but the swift clean kill is something that is taught methinks. There might be a few exceptions to this I gather though... On another note, there are indeed many animals who play around with their prey. Killer whales play tennis with sea lions fx. Looks absolutely gruesome. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

I'd like to add that when prey is brought home to you it is most likely your cat trying to teach you... You should be hunting these things and it's their way of showing you whats out there and what you should go and find for yourself. Mommy cat does this routinely with her kittens. Starting with dead prey and after kitty takes an interest moving to the half dead prey. Since you never show any interest except for trashing it you are never promoted to half dead things :) The quick kill thing is mostly instinctual I believe. This I know from bringing kittens home and raising them as barn cats. They grow up and learn to hunt just fine with no parenting. ------------- This space intentionally left blank |

Holy sh$%, your cat is brutal, man. Clown will eat only out of the back of a rabbit's neck or from a side to the innards, but yours ... oosh ... must be one hungry cat. And what about the bones? What does Spike do to the bones? BTW: Here is Harpusik at her most adorable (and maybe at her most intelligent): http://www.fileden.com/files/2012/4/9/3289959/IMG_0296-up.MOV

Dunno - I've never asked him and never felt the need to watch him eat one - wherever the bones go I've never found them. I assume he prefers fresh bunny to mechanically recovered meat of indeterminate origin, and I don't blame him.
But, yeah, he's a thug, even our neighbour's dog treats him wi' respec maan. He's the only cat that has ever bitten me and drawn blood - I've had plenty of cats scratch me, but never sunk their teeth into flesh and punctured the skin before. My fault for naming him after a vampire.

I've had two pets in my life. I took my goldfish out of water two minutes after getting it to see if it could live on the land. I stopped feeding my hermit crab because I never saw him eat, so I wanted to see if he actually needed food.

Tosca in default setting: 
And just after removal of any trace of dignity (she will happily allow me to carry her around the house like this): 
And a rare moment of entente cordiale: 
Both are hunters & with our garden having a fair few trees & backing onto a churchyard, they have no lack of prey - usual suspects include mice, squirrels, any number of bird species & the occasional frog (one of which we found sitting quite happily & totally unharmed in their water dish) Would never be without cats. -------------

Cats are cute as hellfire. Has anyone here ever had pet rats? I loved my pet rats as a teenager. The only problem is their very short lifespans. Very intelligent and clean pets, run up to you and snuggle with you, make funny rat noises, you can let them out around the room and they come back, they bang on their tank when they want to come out or be fed. So cute. |

Our cat Fernand bites the tip of your nose as a sign of affection, not hard, gently, when he wants to be caressed. It's really cute but he is the only one of the 4 cats who does it. Any of your cats doing that too?
Also, he is the only one who enjoys having his belly caressed, he rolls on his back like a dog so that you can caress his belly. The other 3 will scratch you most of the times if you try.

Nah, not Clown. No sign of affection whatsoever. She is all about herself. Quite the selfish little girl. Although she does enjoy a little head massage or having me or Jim (the guy at the shop) scratching a side of her face. She gets all high from me scratching the inside of one of her ears.
Unfortunately, Clown is not a very domestic cat. She used to be out in the wild, but then she was domesticated. She always wants to go out, have a trip, not have her belly scratched or carressed. She hates that. She will just reach out for my index finger, try to scratch it with her nails, and then make it look she is going to seriously bite me but she won't (all in a quick succession). She just threatens that way or something. v She likes to play with my keys ... which is why she is trying to take them away from me.  v I succeeded in getting my keys back, but once I reached out for my wallet, she is like, ... "I am not gonna let you have that either." So I failed in this round, and she used her prize as her pillow ... my Tommy Hilfiger:  |

My pet cat Katie was like part of me until she passed away last year.   Since then we've got two adorable kittens, also Calicos, who are featured in my sig. Kiwi is super playful and Miki (the muted Calico) super meek but cuddly when she likes you. I don't know why, but Kiwi always tries to lick the inside of my nose when I'm petting her. Miki does sometimes too but she takes "no" for an answer more easily.

| Don't you think its true that you dislike any animal you've never had as a pet. I was talking with someone who likes dogs but abhors cats, but has never had a cat. I've never had a dog, and I half-think dogs are the words that person used to describe cats: smelly among them. I don't go that far as that person did, and I have spent time with dogs, but dogs I like considerably less than cats, I think cats are cuter. People say similar things about animals they've never had, oh I wouldn't want a bird, oh I wouldn't want a rabbit, oh guinea pigs are smelly (well they are, and I grew up with them). As a rat owner of past times I know this all too well. People who've never spent time with a rat believe they are demonic creatures - vermin as it were. I think they are like miniature cats with scaly worm tails and great big june bug cracking teeth. |

Rats that live in city sewers are unsanitary, because of where they live; but it's not a trait inherent in the rat itself.

I've never been comfortable with dogs. I'm very much in the "cat corner" of the ring. After my wife and I got married, she really wanted to get a dog (we already had 3 cats between us), so we did. And I was depressed and ill at ease in my own home for years. She was a very mellow dog, very sweet actually, but I get very antsy when they follow me around and the smell of dogs has always bothered me. I avoid them when I go to other peoples' houses who have dogs, but I never make a stink about it, and I'm never unkind to a dog. I only say this (in all sincerity) because Roy brought it up; I'm not proud of it. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Well i like most animals, though I have only had dogs, cats and birds, and a hamster or two when I was too young to realise if I liked them or not. Birds I really do not care much for, when we have had some it was never because of me but either by my parents or my girlfriend. I also like rabbits, some friends had one who was really sweet and soft. And horses, when I have chance to be with some.
Of course some animals stink sometimes and that's not nice, and you have to constantly vacuum and clean the house, and your clothes are always full of hair, but... you can not have it all, can you?

It's very nice when you see cats and dogs getting along. To people who are not familiar with pets and have the cliche that cats and dogs are always enemies, they get always so shocked when they see them playing along.
Fernand loves to be licked by Gaston, this is how he asks him "c'mon, lick me a bit, lick me a bit"
 And Gaston goes "OK OK, just a bit eh"

^ Oh, man, you are lucky! Mr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r... I don't know, I like all animals ... well, not equally, but I like them all anyway. Not because they look and act cute, but because they are not intelligent enough to be capable of deception and stuff like that. And I would cut them some slack if they were confused even if they bit me.

^ I see Nikita's got that white stripe going in the middle. I bet she is not actually that big; it's the resolution in the wrong proportion. And why is Saori so serious?

I had a tarantula once. Costan Rican Zebra, I think. Had her for seven years. Never held her 'cause I think I'm allergic to spider bites. ------------- He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball! |

| ^ Hey, man, my mother was really surprised that Fernand has two different hair textures on his skin, the tail is dark, but other areas are white. The bottom part of his torso and his limbs and hinds are white, the rest is all black and grey. I don't know why she was so surprised, though. Maybe she's never seen a hybrid. |

My cat Ruth and I do that same thing! I'm the only person she likes to do that with though. And though she will curl up normally in my wife's lap, she won't in mine! Those last 2 sentences I wrote were a grammatical nightmare, but I hope they made sense.  ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Wow, do you really like when someone caress your belly?  ------------- This night wounds time. |

Oh yes, please. Sheesh. I already made a disclaimer about my grammatical ambiguity, no need to rub it in. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Your mother must not have seen many cats, that's quite normal I'd say...

Nice to hear that, I think it's quite rare for cats to allow and like this!
I once read that a cat letting you caresss his belly means that he has exceptional trust in you, but we have 4 cats, we have raised them all the same, caressed them everywhere since they were tiny, and only Fernand has developed this fondness of being caressed in the belly, the other 3 do not like it and will try to scratch and bite you if you try.

Well, my cat Roger loves when someone caresses his belly. But he don't like to sit on anyone's hands or laps, he prefers to lie on a couch or on the floor or somewhere else, and then you can do anything with him. If he don't like something he might try to bite you, but he never actually bites, just menaces or plays.

Over the years, we've had 7 cats & most of them have allowed it to a point; one of our current cats, Tosca will let me caress her belly as long as I like, as will Baggins... until he tires of it, when he registers his disapproval (nature red in tooth & claw) -------------
