Wonderful drawing Hardly Visible and a good memorial to kitty Sophie. We lost our Wacko back in January. He lasted many happy years longer than we expected, but it's still a tough.

Nice Dingus. I've had cats like that and I always make a point to enjoy them when they are growing up. You can tell pretty early that they are going to be wild and I never regret having a cat like that and just appreciate the time that they do give us.

I know it may be a waste telling you this Dingus, but the responsible thing to do would be to make Gray kitty suffer the indignity of the surgeon's loving hand just as his brother did. You would probably see him a lot more, he would still kill rodents around the farm(as his brother has so aptly demonstrated)and he would not be impregnating every stray unspayed female he comes across necessitating that the folks at your local animal shelter have to needlessly euthanize all his unwanted offspring.
But hey, what do I know I just work in a cat shelter.
P.S. they are both beautiful cats by the way

Growing up poor-white in rural Idaho, we always had un-neutered cats. Luckily, Ginger, the female cat that helped raise me, would only have litters of 2 or 3 kittens, so my father didn't have to kill very many of her kittens.
After one of Ginger's sons nearly died from wounds from a cat fight, at age 2 or 3, our kindly neighbor wrapped him in a rug & neutered him for us. Panda limped for a week, but survived his balls removal & became a much calmer cat.
Yeah, and our neutered cat Harley still sprays & gets in cat fights, but with a name like Harley, that's what you have to do.

We asked which cat at the shelter was least likely to get adopted. They said this fat tabby. So we took him. He's a good cat though. He rubs up against our dog. He's affectionate but not needy. We cut back his food and he lost some weight but he's destined to be fat.

Today is International Cat Day, as decreed by the International Fund for Animal Welfare. Loki visited the library to read up. I haven't told her that the annual trip to the vet is on Thursday. It's for her own good. Really.
In honour of the day, she sends purrs to humans and hisses to other cats.

Awwww what a chubbster!!
Loving all the kitty pics here. I will be looking for a lil buddy for my Oliver. Hoping for an older grey tabby, preferably with thumbs like Rolo had.
Or a dog. That would really piss Oliver off!

It's okay to cry, and you might laugh once you reach the second half. They would love to see you laugh...

Harley (the cat) really enjoys being carried around & usually has to be let-down, when our arms get tired, or we need to do something.
However, when the camera comes out & the flash goes off, he wants down.

Francis was named by Lenna for our dad.
He weighs nearly fourteen pounds and is about two years.
He's lucky enough to live in the forest, let alone have such a doting mistress.

This is Zephyr.
He just padded softly into the enormous void left in my heart when my 16 year old cat Buddha died last March.
Funny how something so simple as the purring of a kitten can make you feel whole again.
