Post pictures of your pets

Okay, lets shift this (rather odd) tangent to the What do you look like thread; we've gotten away from the focus on pets.

Thread drift is a natural occurrence around here...

That is just too damned cute!

The snow hit us a bit early this year, on Nov 7.

Halfway down our driveway, these are my morning walking buddies, Beorn and Hudson, on the lookout for any wildlife.

Found out a few weeks ago that one of the neighbors' cats had two kittens in one of our storage sheds. I started feeding them when I found them. They were pretty wild at first, but I worked on getting them used to me and slowly getting them to come to the door to get fed, then convincing them it was OK to come inside to eat. They would always go to the door wanting back out after their meals.

That changed about a week ago. I opened the door, and the male ran right in, but the female hesitated. She sat just outside the door meowing and looking around. She was also shivering (it was 24 DegF at the time). The male came to the door 3 times to see where she was before she finally came inside.

I believe that she was taking a last look around because neither one has asked to be let out since.

They're answering to the names I've given them and actually are starting to come when called. They now both absolutely LOVE being petted and rubbed all over. Not cuddling or sleeping on the lap yet, but we're getting there.

I'm not sure how old they are. I'm guessing no more than about 3 months. I've been working with them for 5 or 6 weeks now.

Meet the kitties

Well, they're yours now, or rather, you are theirs. Please be a good pet owner and get them 'fixed'. there are far too many animals breeding out there and we need to get it under some control. Otherwise, they die.

 

[Mike_M57]

Absolutely. Stopped by the vet yesterday to find out how old they need to be before getting them fixed. They seem to be about the right age, so, as soon as finances allow, they'll be going in. Told it will be about $80 for the male and about $150 for the female, plus whatever shots they might need, so it'll be a few weeks before I can manage it.

Woke up in the middle of the night last night to find them curled up next to me in bed. Started petting them and Sissy started purring immediately. Buddy grabbed my hand and started licking and softly "gnawing" on my finger while I was rubbing his belly.

I think they like being indoor kitties.

I don't know what part of Limbo you're in, but as you've probably figured out, indoor kitties live much longer and happier lives. Around here, the coyotes and raptors are a serious hazard to cats and even small dogs.

 

[Mike_M57]

Coyotes and eagles and owls, oh my!


We've got them here, also. I can hear coyotes almost every night and there are 2 or 3 owls that hang out in the neighbors' tree occasionally. Haven't seen any bald eagles yet this year, but they're around, too.

Got a nice little surprise this morning. Sissy came to me on her own for cuddles.

Difficult to hold a camera when using both hands to massage a kitten. Had to wait until she took a break!

PRECIOUS!!!

Last night was the first time our newest remained out of her crate through the night, thus I was visited several times. Her and her big buddy slept on the bed for a time , then off to play again.

Ruger is our best buddy.

 

[Hooyah DeepSea]

So, here is a visual test for you.

Where does the cat end and the dog begin . . .?

 

[sobo]

Not my dog. But if I had one, I'd never betray his/her trust like this...

[bradsteen]

Another Ruger for the thread... he doesn't like the winter.

 

[Mike_M57]

Sigh.

Couldn't keep it hidden forever, I guess. Still a little traumatized by the whole thing. I might have to start drinking...

I had to sit down and have a little discussion with "Sissy" about the differences between boys and girls, gender identity, mental illness, etc.

Happy to say that he is now comfortable with being the Male kitty he has been all along.

He wanted to change his name to CIS-ey, but I refused. We agreed on "C.C." (Confused Cat), with the warning that if he EVER votes Democrat, he's going to be the game ball at the Pitbull Superbowl.

Liberalism. A disease that knows no bounds and can even jump species. Be Warned.


(He and Buddy are both getting neutered on the 21st, so it's a moot [mewed?] point)

We really need to find a cure...
