R. I. P. sweet Phoenix. May 5, 2002 to Sept 13, 2016
He was my best.

 

[Temptd2]

Awww - pretty kitty! It's always so hard to lose them.

 

[Inkleg]

Raising my glass tonight in memory of Phoenix. Sorry for your loss Hang Glider.

We love them while they're here and cry like babies when we lose them.

 

[Hang Glider]

thanks MUCH, Temptd2, Inkleg -

yep, cried like a baby that day, for sure!
I'll get a new cat/kitten one day, but I can't bring myself to do that just yet. Maybe in the new year...

 

[Temptd2]

You'll know when you're ready. When I lost my dear Lucky (at age 22!) I said no more pets for at least 6 months.

Two weeks later I was at the SPCA adopting the two we have now! The house was too quiet, even though Lucky was deaf and nearly blind and didn't make much noise, I talked to her ALL the time.

A new cat(s) is never a replacement for the one that has gone on - it's just a good way to patch the hole left in your heart when you lose one! I think it honors the cat you've lost too, to give one that needs a home a new lease on life. Only when you're ready though, or when one finds YOU!

Just make sure you don't get two sisters from the same litter. For some reason, they rarely get along. Two brothers, or a brother and a sister, are fine. But two sisters is asking for conflict, in my experience and understanding.

That's not the case with these sisters, but then again they don't know they're cats.

Hey, all... I have a long-hair Perisan-style cat who has some tremendously bad knots in his fur. Do you think that putting Cornhusker's Lotion (mostly lanolin, iirc) would be a safe way to help break up the mats/knots in his fur?

Remember that kitty will lick whatever you rub into his fur, so if it's not something you'd eat then I'd avoid it. There is a lot on the web about matted fur remedies like this .. (Google is my friend) -

But once a year I take Missy Kitty to the vet and she gets shaved.

Also be aware that cat's skin is very thin and easily cut. If you snip his skin with scissors it can get infected easily.

Yeah... I learned the hard way about cat's skin getting nicked. Had to get the cat sewed up a couple times before I gave up using scissors.

Or these, the front one had to go to the vet today because of a toothache.
Turns out she got an infection in the gums after she had some infected teeth removed last time but she's fine now.

Beautiful cats. Kinda fond of the heater aren't they.

That's cats for ya... they love warm spots, even with their fur coat.

Our two Sphynx sleep under the blanket on top of the bed sheet. At first we would lift the blanket up and had to push them under. Now all we do is lift it up and they crawl under themselves. With the dry air this time of year it's quite a static electricity light show in the dark room as they go in.

This is Mr Baggins. He's just chillin with both hind legs sticking out.

Thank you
They are, cornish rexes and hairless breeds are especially fond of warm spots since their body temp is higher than normal cats and they lack the insulation.

In the winter all our cats spend a lot of time under blankets or on the radiators. Or on my lap under hoodie.

Boo Boo sneaking a drink from the bathroom sink faucet. I made the mistake of letting him do this a couple times, because it was funny to watch. Now he follows me into the bathroom every morning, thinking he'll get a drink. This, despite the nice water fountain pet drinker he has. He will sit on the edge of the bathtub, eyeballing that running water, too.

At least he doesn't drink out of the toilet.

My dog and cat. Honestly, I hate these kind of photo sessions. Wife!

But they are great pets.

Dog: "What did I do to deserve this?"

Cat: "When you least expect it, I will exact my revenge for being subjected to this undignified treatment."

Sure, sure... the wife. Seagulls were your idea, weren't they?

 

[Inkleg]

So......the wife was playing around with the Dead Yourself app. I ask if she could do one one of the cats. She got Kinky to sit sit long enough and....well....

 

[MaxStout]

I don't have the Dead Yourself app, but my cat doesn't need it. He looks rather devilish whenever he yawns.

Since winter started, the cats stay in at night. Now Miss Sadie has once again taken to sleeping on our bed. Normally she sleeps at the foot, between our legs. Last night I woke up and thought I felt the cat under my leg. In my sleepiness I thought I might have suffocated her with my leg, so I reached down and felt for her breathing. I couldn't feel her breathing so I picked to pick her up.

And she woke up and nipped my hand and took off like a cat out of hell, running into things on her way.

Poor thing. We were both startled, but I think she got the worst of it. Now I'm wondering if and when she will ever want to sleep on our bed again!

Cat pissed on our bed last night. He only does it when he can't get to his box for some reason (legit or otherwise). Usually I understand but at 9pm I was less than understanding

Every damn time I open the brew log to design a new beer.
