1. Milo and Teddy have one.

Milo likes it a whole lot. Teddy would rather sleep on my desk and get fur on my keyboard.

2. One of our cats, Sascha, loves that toy....

...she's half Siamese, a cousin of your kitty!

3. I am so glad to see that Jesse is back to his playful self. He is looking

adorable. Is the swelling all gone?
Your pics of Jesse and Nikko playing together are priceless.

He's been rattling it around for the last half hour.

Meantime, Teddy naps.

5. We have one of those

6. When I die, I want to come back as newsguyatl's new cat...

My every desire will be fulfilled and I'll be famous on DU!

My cats wouldn't touch the ball-in-a-ring toy. Their favorite cat toys:

Laser Mouse Toy (my friend Gretchen swears by this one, you can sit on the couch and with the flick of your wrist keep the cat running full speed back and forth across the room):

8. oh my!!!!

and i thought ==my== cats were spoiled!

they look like little red headed orphans compared to your two! ha!

please continue posting pics of ivan, he's just stunning.

...as is Razpy... what is he/she? an oriental shorthair?

[Princess Turandot]

9. What is Razpy? A very good question..

some time ago, I answered the question this way:

http://www.vultureviews.net/posting/raztazz/origin.htm

But before I decided that he was a TD variant, I called him a 'reverse Meezer'. His litter mate is a chocolate pointed Meezer, while he is chocolate brown, except for his white front toes and has gold & green eyes. He even has brown whiskers which makes me think that gene-wise, he came out similar to a Havana Brown, which were bred from a siamese & non-siamese cat. (You sometimes read in description of Havanas that they are the only cat with brown whiskers and Razpy looks quite similar to photos that I've seen of Havanas.)

He has a meezer personality although he is probably more aggressive. He never shuts up, drives the other cats crazy and bites recreationally. He can also be very charming. He'll be 5 in August.
I've had him since he was just 7 weeks old: he looked like a vampire bat as a baby.

Here he is with his brother, a bit before I adopted him:



First Day Home:



And with Sasha, who is a snowshoe (a siamese variant.) She hates him.

[newsguyatl]

11. he's a beaut!!

i love that pic with the snowshoe... she really DOES look like she hates him! made me laugh outloud

[newsguyatl]

12. OMG

i just looked at that thread comparing him to a td -- haven't laughed that hard in a while!!!

those pics are friggin HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!


i think you presented a damn good case!

hell, i'm convinced.

[superconnected]

10. That first picture of the siamese Jesse" hanging over the box is priceless

Great pics. I've never seen one of those toys before but now I'll look for it. I have 5 cats.

All the pics on this thread are awesome. I'm going to get my kittens the box with holes in it now too.
