The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger claims another car as his own.
Last time, it was our friend's BMW. This time, it's our goddaughter's boyfriend's Mini. If you park in our drive, you will leave with an abundance of kitty footprints and cat hair on your car -- and possibly wet hubcaps. :hi:

9. Ginger has an intimidating look that he saves for people
who don't seem to enjoy cats. :rofl:

Beautiful here today! Sunny and about 70° F., but thunderstorms are coming and I have to go grocery shopping this afternoon. Friday is Aug. 1, national holiday, so there's no way I'm gonna do my grocery shopping tomorrow, the day before a national holiday. :scared:

10. LOL
there is a story running in my family about our first cat, Lillekort. One day a teacher came home to us and sat on our couch to talk to my parents about my brother. Then suddenly, Lillekort comes and jumped on the lap of said teacher. The teacher didn't know what to do or say, he wasn't particulary fond of cats .... :rofl:

I know cats have a special feeling who doesn't like them .... and to that person they go

Here is the culprit as kitten.

11. What a beauty Lillekort was!
I agree completely: cats have a special ability to torment people who are anti-cat.

CMW and I have a colleague who is severely allergic to cats and he's always the first person Ginger runs to. x(

13. I had a cat once who would focus her attention on any person who came to the
house who didn't like cats. She would get on their laps, look at them adoringly with her big blue eyes, purr and just act like she was so totally in love with said person. I always felt that her actions fell into one of these two categories:

1. She could sense that the person didn't like cats and she was trying to convince them that cats are lovable animal and that they should put those unwarranted feelings aside.

2. She could sense their dislike and was messing with them because she knew that they couldn't do a damn thing about it while "Mom" was there to protect her.

I've always thought it was the first explanation since she had such a sweet disposition, but cats can be very perverse, so I could never be completely sure.

20. Hi, you!!!!
Ginger loves being on top of a car, but being _inside_ a car scares the crap out of him. He thinks the inside of a car is a prelude to a vet visit (and he's right). :scared:

:hug:

:loveya:

25. Ginger says, "Tante Bertha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He would for sure give you head butts, nose kisses and, quite possibly (if you're barefoot or wearing sandals) toe bites. :hug:

30. Are these cars mysteriously disappearing?
Edited on Wed Jul-30-08 10:57 PM by adsosletter
Has The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger taken up a sudden interest in welding, cutting torches, etc?

Have unusual deliveries of car parts addressed to him been appearing by FedEX?

Has he been spending an inordinate amount of time in a curtained off portion of your basement, late at night, with the sound of grinders and power tools being operated under klieg lights?

Does he refuse to allow you to see what is going on in there, tendering a need for "his own space" as an excuse?

If so, Ginger may be operating a chop shop...and in the heart of Switzerland, no less...

:D

38. Ginger's too refined to take part in any illegal activity
beyond the poaching of protected songbirds, and he's pretty much too lazy to do even that. :rofl:

Hi, friend! :hug: :loveya:

It's cute enough as it is, but with that cutie kitty it'd be even cuter!

34. Sunny is a rascal and rapscallion!
He turns 1 tomorrow - hard to believe! His body is big, but his face is still relatively little.
