where's all the cat love?
hope no one was put off by the mini flame fest this weekend.

let's not let those hooligans drive us off the board.


i'm trying to gear up to post some fotos of a selection of my buddies; in the meantime, show me pix, please!

1. No pics, but,
you remember me posting about the young female cat last week? Well a couple of hours later I managed to snag her and get her indoors, now she's a housecat and wouldn't go back outside for the world. We need to take her to the vet for checking and an operation, but I think she's going to be very happy here.

5. My Temujin is now in the gallery


He's a one-year old Ragdoll, and a real clown (and show quality, if I do say so).

And if you go here, you can see the two little girls we're bringing home in August (the seal point female and one of the blue point females). If you're looking for a Siamese, this breeder is excellent, careful, and very very caring.

33. Cool...Most people don't get it!
I guess most people think Gato is the only word for cat in Spanish, and don't understand there are gata, gatito and gatita. I thought about cybergatatita, but at my age I thought that was pushing it a bit.
;-) I also own the domain name cybergata.com

14. Go over to Freeperville....
Once they're finished with their dog-love and box turtle-love, I'm sure they'll get around to some cat-love.

Only girl cats, though.

35. You just reminded me of a questions I have about Box Turtles
We have a female box turtle. She has been running, yes running around our background. We had the gate open for a few minutes, and before we knew it, a neighbor pulled off the street for us. My husband has a theory that maybe she is looking for a honey to mate with.

Does anyone have any reptile knowledge out there that can tell me if this might be the reason she has been sneaking out. She isn't usually like this. In fact we put up a little wood wall to keep her in the garden so the people working on my house don't accidentally step on her. She just rams the wood right down. She walked right in the room I'm sitting in and looked straight at me. This morning I walked out the back door, and there she was looking at me. I thought she was waiting for the great god of grapes, apples, snails and cantaloupe but she wasn't interested in the grapes I gave her. Tres Bizzaro.

Anybody that thinks a turtle is slow hasn't seen our turtle. Maybe we should rename her speedy Gonzales.

:hippie:

We had to put Newman down last year. Very sad. He was quite the character.

I'll have a pic of Siouxsie on Wednesday.

19. Eleanor, straight from the gallery!


Update- We picked her up from the vet on Wednesday. She only needed one extraction. The bad news is that she already had several teeth missing and had periodontal pockets (layman's terms- yucky stuff) around every tooth. Well, her choppers are now clean and white, and she's currently on antibiotics and pain meds to knock back any infection. We should have the biopsy result soon. The vet thinks that the infection is coming from within the teeth (I forget the name of this), which unfortunately means more visits in the future. Meanwhile, she's eating like a horse, looking great, and even played with a toy the other night for the first time in over a year!

22. Excellent!
ellie is a very pretty girl. periodontal disease is a big killer of ferals. hard death, they have to choose between the agony in the mouth or the hunger.

mr. gary, whom i had to put down a couple of weeks ago, had lost almost all his teeth, but still snacked on crunch w/gusto right till the end.

are in oodles of photos right here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1453771

Seamus looks almost just like my Puck! But other than being beautiful, our Oberons are very different. :-)

30. Hi, jukes!
Thanks for the thread...

Can't wait to see your pics.

Here's my late and great Miss Fluffy Cat :cry: :cry:



You were an elegant lady, Fluffy...

We loved you very much... :loveya:

31. btw, jukes

I know it's a silly name, but we found her on our back porch and gave her a good life after no one would claim her... She was definitely a feral cat at heart but she loved love and good food...

Her name comes from what my brother said when we first found her

"Who's this big fluffy sucker on the porch???" :D

So I figure, at least "Fluffy" is a better name than the other option from that sentence... :D
