(two great threads in one!) Post a pic of yourself WITH a kitty
I don't think I've ever seen this and it's a tragedy. Here are the rules:

1. The pic must include a) yourself, and b) a kitty
2. That's the only rule

Here I am with my bf's cat Teena. She was kind of shy at first but now she kinda likes me!

1. Cute pictures!
Here I am with my late Fergie, who, sadly, died two days after my birthday in 2003:



Note the bloodshot eyes (this was taken the night before he died, and I knew he was dying).

2. Me and the Feline Trio
Oreo (black & white), Binky (holstein/cow cat), and Roo (tabby).


Sadly, Roo died 2 months ago. :(

But he's still here in spirit!

Look at the teenage MissHoneyChurch... very adorable! :loveya:

And that's quite a beard your dad is sporting!

Sorry to hear about the loss of this kitty, but it looks like she had a good run and I'm sure gave and received tons of love during here time here. :hug:

22. thanks
for the compliment. I guess no matter what pic I post of me you would give me a compliment ... LOL

My dad's beard got shorter later on. With every new gf he cut it shorter. But he never shaved his beard totally - thank goodness.

Oh yeah, my devil got a lot of love.

Hey, if you post a picture where you don't totally look adorable, maybe I could restrain myself.

Now I have to go post a compliment to that photo you posted in the other thread. :D

31. Daddy & Bertha
He rarely allows himself to be held for more than a few seconds. When this was shot, he'd been asleep in my lap for a couple of hours. I tried to move him and he just rolled right up into my arms and kept sleeping.

Nice photo... so sorry to hear your fur baby is no longer with you. :(

Have you been able to bring yourself to adopt a new kitten, or are you taking a break from pets for a while?

Thanks, but I turn 37 this month! :cry:

I am going to start fostering for a local shelter next week. I'm looking forward to having the patter of little paws in my house again. But I am unsure about some future plans, so don't want to adopt right now.

Happy Birthday, whenever it falls in the month (don't tell us)... you're still in the flower of your youth, my dear. And I'd wager the past seven years have been as kind to you as the first 30 were. :)

The fostering sounds like a good idea. I may have to look into that. Except it seems like I'm NEVER home...

Even just visiting the shelter was uplifting. But it really depends on the shelter. If it's a bad environment, it would make me sad to see the kitties and puppies. But this place, http://www.whiskerville.org , was really nice. The animals seemed to like it there. When I knelt down, the kitties totally swarmed me. It made me feel happy. :loveya: :kitties:

57. Here goes.
This is not my cat, but the guest house's cat in Costa Rica.

She was a really friendly cat who would lay on the beach with you if you wanted. Only problem was she was COVERED in fleas.

Very well taken care of tho. The security guards at the guest house treated her with kindness and lots of food.

60. Kitty goes to the beach
Note the sign. This was in Maine, during his trip from Arizona to Nova Scotia and back.




Here he is in New Brunswick in his kitty pouch; later in the day he was warmly welcomed to a local winery. That evening he proceeded to vomit on the bed in our seaside motel room. . . . Actually, he's an excellent traveler, and despite some discomfort at the beach -- sound of the waves? -- he enjoyed the trip.



Unlike Toonces, no help with the driving. Feet too short to reach the pedals.
