Emergency cat thread
Normally I would be loathe to do this, but the content of the lounge is getting very out of whack lately, thus it's cat time

18. Hey, I'm not so bad myself you know....
;) There are days when I'd gladly let you have all that is adorable in my house. They are cute, until I have to try and wake them up for work and school in the morning...or wipe up kitty vomit...heh.

It's a good life all in all. :hi:

22. Heh. It's actually from a spoonerism. I once told one of my kid's
friends that something would make MrsGrumpy very Harper....and it kind of stuck. They either call me Mrs Grumpy or Mrs Harpy. :hi:

36. No breed, really, he's just a farm cat!
His mother was a tortoiseshell kitty on my fiancee's parents' farm. We're guessing his father was a big, spooky blue-eyed white cat we saw around the farm for awhile. (There were two other white kittens in the same litter, but they both had two green eyes.)

37. Hmm, he's not deaf, but he's not at all sound-sensitive either.
You know how you can usually spook a misbehaving cat by yelling or shaking a can of coins? Not this guy. Never stopped to think he might be partly deaf.

I've read that blue-eyed white cats are often deaf, but also that having one green eye or even a few black hairs (which this guy does, some tiny fine ones on the forehead) is enough to remove that risk. Amazing stuff, isn't it?

7. Thank you. She's half Abyssinian
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 10:08 AM by demnan
the other half was the boy next door - a brown tabby.

Your boys are quite handsome! You must be very proud.

8. During which debate was this taken?
That cat is obviously hearing the high frequency emissions. (Or just Karl's...er...George's voice).

And yawning.

Must have heard Cheney's latest "terror! terror! terror!" ranting.
