new pics of the Venation cats (dial up warning)

[Bertha Venation]

FWIW, it was precisely because of sentiments expressed in the "should I post new pictures" poll thread that I posted that poll in the first place. :shrug:

On to the new pics:

Toby on top of the tv with the sheep


Petey ("I say sexy things to myself when I'm dancing . . . !")


can't tell if they love or hate cold weather:

(on the ottoman: Petey & Harry; on me: Daddy (long) and Toby)

. . . actually, I know Harry loves it; these are his:


Charley wants that green bird


Daddy, the king of all he surveys (on the front porch, taken through the window)


Great toy, mom -- thanks! Oh, and isn't my tummy beautiful?!

Charley & Skittles

1. That's so sweet

It would send a diabetic into a coma.

Thanks for sharing -- did you ever find a home for the kitten?

[Bertha Venation]

8. not yet, ML

Still hoping Skittles & Charley have a home out there somewhere. :bounce:

15. Good luck! n/t

16. I'd like to give Skittles a home

I live in Bowie MD...that near you?

[Bertha Venation]

18. Hi, DW88...

Yes, I just live in Waldorf. We're Baysox fans & go to Bowie several times a year.

I am really hoping to have them both adopted together. Please read this post for the explanation . . . . http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=157x617

I tried to PM you but found you can't receive PMs yet. If you like, you can email me - notheidi, earthlink, net.

20. Thanks BV

I'll check with the wife and see if she wants both of them...

[Bertha Venation]

23. I think I should probably be perfectly clear on that point, DW.

Unless there are extraordinary circumstances, I'll only allow them to be adopted together. Being semi-feral, I fear that one cat alone, w/out the mate, would be too, too terrified. They have no fear in our home anymore, but the change . . .

I dunno. Maybe I'm too freaked or nervous. I'm happy to discuss w/ you further in email. :hi:

9. LOL

Thanks for the laugh. :bounce:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

17. You know you'll become the third sheep on that furniture, don't you?

Feel the transformation beginning...

[Bertha Venation]

19. well, of course, JC . . .

actually, that's why we put the sheep on the TV, as a little joke. TV is, after all, the Great American Sheep-Maker.

5. Cute!

I like the one of Charley batting at the duster the best.

[Ariana Celeste]

6. I saved some of those

since I don't have a kitty of my own these days, I love to look at pics of everyone else's! :7

[Lex]

7. Wow, cute kitties!

Here are my three (with demon eyes!). Don't ask HOW I got this picture snapped so fast because you can't 'make' a cat do anything.

[Bertha Venation]

10. GREAT photo! What are their names?

And where did you get that cool tree? Thanks

[Lex]

12. They are siblings and their names

are . . .

On top is Nixon (because they were all born on the day Pres. Nixon died so he got stuck with the name).

Middle is Lex (that's were I get my screen name from--it means 'law' in Latin).

Bottom is the only girl, Ozzie (named in honor of the family German Shepherd who had died the month before)


The cat tree was purchased we went to a cat show, just to see the pretty cats, and there were LOTS of vendors there selling cat stuff. We couldn't resist this cat tree, and barely got it home--it was hanging out of the car on the way home, but we knew the kitties would LOVE it, and they did!

11. Awwwwww!

What a great photo!!! Such cuties!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

13. I love that one the PJ's.

Nothing better on a cold day then a buncha cats all over you.

[Taxloss]

14. They're so sweet!

They look smart, too.

[KamaAina]

21. You have a cat named Skittles?!

It has to be asked...

Does s/he KICK YOUR ASS???????

[Bertha Venation]

24. AAMOF, KamaAina, she DID kick my ass, and at 6 weeks of age.

That's why she's named Skittles!

[BurtWorm]

22. Skittles is an ass-kicking cat!

She reminds me of our Buster. The other ones are adorable, too! :loveya:
