Cats

[Temptd2]

This is Cleo. She's going on 15 now. We got her a few years ago from a friend's sister who couldn't give her enough attention with a dog and 2 (now 3 kids).

I hate to tell you this but I lip-read cats and that one is NOT saying nice things about you!

@Temptd2, the gate is to keep the dogs from the litter box. Otherwise they are just dog treats with sprinkles, haha, yuck.

My friend has a name for that. I think she calls them "kitty krunchies" or something. Her dog is ALWAYS trying to get into the litter box. He's often successful. His breath is terrible.

My dog probably would also go for it, but the litter box is in the basement and the dog isn't allowed in the kitchen/bathroom/laundry room or the basement. He's also not allowed in my bedroom- I hate dog hair all over the place (like my pillow) when I'm trying to sleep.

Of course, the cat does whatever the **** she wants. Except she's not allowed on my bed because I hate cat hair on my pillow as well.

She's here for the party...

I'm the same way. I have to keep the cat downstairs, or else he will be all over the bed (and us) all night. Even in the daytime, I keep the bedroom door closed, or he will be camped out on the pillows. He sheds like crazy.

 

[Temptd2]

Funny, neither of mine show any interest in the pillows at all.

Pauli has a fetish for the foot of the bed this time of year - mainly because I turn on the heated mattress pad a couple hours before bedtime and she loves that warm spot.

However, they both sleep in the family room, with the door shut. Nothin' I hate much worse than a cat having a lovely bath and a good scratch while on my side of the bed at 3 am.

[stella_tigre]

Our cat(s) learned not to do obnoxious bedtime activities like
sleeping on pillow
taking a major bath on the bed (aka kitty yoga)
attacking your toes
hronking up a hairball
because ANY of those activities will see you launched off the bed. (Hold onto top of covers and kick - not the cat, the covers - cat will fly...)

Pesci about 5 minutes ago.

You gonna keep it or throw it back ... :beard:

We have had Bela since her owner pasted 6 years ago and have completely fallen in love with the Sphynx breed. I had already named my brewery, but did not have a logo. Behind my back, a friend whom I give my grains to for his chickens had gotten in touch with my wife for a picture of Bela. He showed up at the house with tee shirts, 12x12 tiles and poster boards with this on it.
Naked Cat Brewery was born. Thank You Graham, your friendship mean a lot.

Another shot of Leo. No box is too small. I love that this particular one is a Beer caseView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1447984741.978860.jpg

 

[Temptd2]

LOL at Leo!

The funniest "cat in a box" picture for me was my Miss Kitty, who at her heyday weighed in at 15 pounds, who squeezed her crazy self into an empty Coke 12-pack box. Her head sticking out of the shelf dispenser opening was too funny! This was back before there were digital cameras so no cute shots of her, as film was expensive and developing was too.

He doesn't eat the plants? Ours will munch on any plant they can get. They'll do it even when they have cat grass. Being that some plants are toxic to cats, we've one houseplant in a bathroom tha stays closed.

Haha.

Dogs don't like eating turd. Catfood is solid protein (cats are obligate carnivores, they must eat meat, and lots of it). Their turds are more like beef jerky than turd. But don't take my word for it...

Tell that to my sister. Her two dogs love to eat poopsicles in the winter!

Here are Sadie and Sofie, they're sisters from the same liter.

There's also this insufferable little bastard, though I haven't seen him in a few weeks. I think the crucified possum in my backyard scared it off.

Here's some pix of my cats. First pic is my two boys together. Lucky is the part-Siamese. The long-haired Persian looking cat is Nigel. I inherited him from my dad. The next pic is my little girl, Little Bit or "Bitsy" (semi-feral -- she goes the opposite way when I enter the room.) Next is a pic of Lucky all by himself and the last one is Nigel all by himself. Not sure why the photos are uploading in off orientations.

EDIT: I guess the odd orientations are just on the mobile app.

I'll "like" any post with a cat photo in it. We had two up until April 20, 2015, when we lost Rogue to kidney failure. Rogue and Trinity were sisters from the same litter. Rogue had long black hair (like Rogue from X-Men), and Trinity has ... well, you can figure it out. Rogue was 14 when she passed. We still have Trinity. She doesn't brew with me (she's an indoor cat), but she's a wonderful cat.

Here's Ferris and his first namesake brew:

Here's the little stinker when he was a wee kitten:

 

[coolharry]

Here's the L-crew as they're known around the vets office. Lucy is the black one with the drooling problem, and the boys, Lloyd and Linus sporting their cones after both having bladder stones in the same week.

We just got King Scratchtapus Rex back from a blocked bladder. Was that what yours had? They had him on fluids and a catheter for four days. We're giving him meds now. He's peeing on his own and is a chatty cat. He's also on a prescription diet. The vet said no more dry food, ever, and dry food is not good for cats anyway. Especially not male cats.

Hmm... I've been told the opposite. Hard food is better for their teeth. Our cat has been on hard food her entire life (15 years and counting) and seems to be doing fine.

I was told the same by my vet...dry food is better for their teeth. As long as they drink plenty of water, no problemo.

I suppose if a vet happens to sell wet cat food, that's what they're going to recommend. Mine's always trying to pimp their high-end pet food, supplements, flea collars, etc. Veterinary medicine is mainly a cash-based business, so I get it that they need to sell some stuff to bolster revenues. Just like my wife's hairstylist is always trying to peddle $25 bottles of shampoo.

These are my children. If I ever had real children, these monsters would kill them and eat them. Both are shelter rescues. We've had the fatass tortie for about 8 years (she's ~11) and the tuxedo cat we've had for about 6 years (she's ~10). The former is evil and the latter is a baby and behaves more like a dog than any cat I've ever met. They've also chosen their people. The tortie is mine (she and my wife do not get along) and the tuxedo adores my wife.

 

[Inkleg]

@Qhrumphf, Maybe those two should get a room?
