But I like it...

Seriously?

How utterly charming and irresistible.

Hiding the ferocious predator stalking you.

in cats, though not usually as repetitive as this kitty. If you want some good laughs over cat markings, do a search using the words "unusual cat fur patterns." There are several different versions posted snd many of them overlap. There are cats with eyebrows, mustaches, hearts, etc. My favorite is the kitten with a pattern that spells out c-a-t in its fur.

cat markings. They are real, not photoshopped.

So unusual and beautiful!

They are just gorgeous. However I already have five in the house now, two of them are geriatric so no more for us

My kitty that disappeared earlier this year had swirls on his side just like the one in $14.

when they're gone. That swirl on cats is typical of a "classic tabby" coat pattern. Before my current cat, I had an orange one with a claasic tabby coat, white bib, and white socks. The most affectionate, cuddly cat I ever knew. I nicknamed him Mr. Love and was devastated when he passed away. Didn't want another cat. Thought I was too old to adjust to another one.

Then 6 months later, a co-worker's cat had a litter and there was one left that she said I should just get a look at. Of course I melted at first sight. It was a 9 week old ball of fluff, runt of the litter, multi-colored coat, full of bouncing energy. She was so relentlessly upbeat and playful that sadness was impossible around her. Still playful and mischievous at age 4. Just what I needed for healing. She has the classic tabby swirl pattern, too, but it's abstract, made up of red, gray, black, and white.

A new pet can't be be a substitute for a lost one because they are all unique. But it can help in healing and moving on.

I got him as a tiny kitten, about 4 weeks old according to the vet, and he was seventeen and a half. So he had a good, long life of being a tiny terror - at most he weighed about ten pounds.

My husband and I plan to get two cats later this year. Right now we're packing up half the house to prepare for an addition so it makes no sense to get pets right away. The schedule is that the addition will be finished in May and then we'll have to move stuff back in and sort it. We'll probably wait until most of the boxes are unpacked - too much temptation for cats!


Part of the plan is to re-screen the porch and take out the cat door from it to outside. That will leave a cat door from the house onto the porch which will become a catio. I may move their box out there and will have some chairs and toys for them if they get bored with watching the birds and lizards outside. I don't want any more cats to disappear but would like them to have access to tside.

with remodeling and future cats.

thanks for sharing that story.

I have laughed myself silly over that website.

I love it for another reason. We have a friend who had to go through open heart surgery. His wife had died while she was still in her fifties. He had just remarried a wonderful woman, and he was afraid of losing everything, after finding a renewed life. He was so low that he never laughed.

I showed him the website, and he laughed out loud.

His surgery went fine. He is doing well.

Laughter, and cats, are good medicine.

I have now is one of the most clever ones I've known.' Also full of cattitude. Besides keeping me on my toes, she amuses me constantly with her antics and surprises me with her resourcefullness.

Glad your friend was able to perk up snd enjoy cat pics. Must be scary to face open heart surgery.
