trying to reDU your (douchbag) reputation with kitteh pix in the lounge? ALERTING!

Next step--- Hogehegs.

Isn't there enough hedge for everyone?

How the heck does he get that bag of chips open?

She used to live 4 houses down, but liked us better. Previous owners had no problem with us adopting her. Sadly, I think she is showing early signs of kidney failure...she's about that age. I have to take her to the vet to get bloodwork done.

and cuddly-looking kitty! I thought one of my cats (16) was showing signs of kidney disease (drinking more water than in the past) but his bloodwork has checked out fine for the past several years. I did have one cat who did have it for several years (5+ at least) but succumbed to something else (stroke and possibly cancer). Anyway, since this recent scare, I have been trying different ways to get more water into my cats. One thing I do is to give them wet cat food at least once a day. Sometimes I'll mix some water into it to make it wetter and some pet antioxidant powder too, if I have some. I want to get one of those automatic watering contraptions as I hear that they encourage cats to drink more water too.

I'm sorry you lost your Tabby.

I thought I had that setting public but you can always friend request me too (just mention DU).

It was very hard on me--- I travel a lot for work and I was 1000 miles away when it happened (I left him with my parents). I never got to say goodbye and that was really hard on me.

I'd have another kitty but it's just not fair to the cat to leave him/her with my parents for months.

Starting from the top.

Candy, MamaKat, Salem, and Captain

How is that cat tree not torn to shreds? Is it brand new? We have three and they look like they've been through a war.

I think they prefer to destroy the couch and the box spring more.

You're so cute!!

So affectionate, loves to "kiss" my nose, and lay on my lap purring.

The Pug calls him Sir!

10 pounds more than my wife's Pickenese. (SP---too lazy to look up the correct spelling)

But they sure look cute.

(Cats also don't care for cat hoodies.)

I have 4.

I buy the litter and the clean the box!!



Roosevelt and Panda doing their best cuptonboy4 impression:


Sonia who we adopted from Flaxbee seven years ago:

Rosy is on the plus side of 20 lbs now. I think he weighs the combined weight of Sonia and Panda!

Sonia is doing fine. No more lost teeth. She was down here a minute ago. Oh wait, it's ten o'clock and time for her to put our daughter to bed!!

Edited to add: Yeap. That's what Sonia was doing. Heard our daughter saying "get out Sonia! I'm not going to bed yet!!"

One of ours, Silver, is the morning greeter (she doesn't come in until she hears us waking up, she's such a good girl!) Ivan is the shower monitor; he makes sure neither my husband nor I drown in the shower. That used to also be Silver's job, but she delegated to Ivan.

Sonia is also known as the "stomach". She demands to be fed as soon as someone gets up in the morning and starting at 4:00pm she demands to be fed dinner.

Beautiful cat. I swear I am going to make myself learn to post pictures. I'd love to show off, Ralphie. She is hard to see cuz she is mostly black and white. She is smeared up with random orange streaks. She looks like a clockwork orange in the face. Her kitty butt is the cutest cuz she has no tail.

Izzy, the day she came home from the shelter.






Fast forward a few years as she lays on top of the computer monitor (pre-flat screen)

My daughter made the little bed for her.

And Wanda

Finni is my buddy that I found at the local shelter a year ago this month...He is the most loving cat I have ever been around and Modi is a kitten who is 3 weeks old presently and will be joining Finni and Me next month sometime.

The 2nd of Finni is a computerized painting of a photo of him in the window and the 2nd of Modi is with his 3 brothers and his sister.

Patches sitting in my lap reading the headlines.

Let's see, clockwise from the orange kitty: Six, Murphy, Merry, Pippin.



Missing: Cactar, Grendel, Nimbus, Mango, and Maxwell.

We got her last July after being without a cat for about 10 years, and she's awesome!

What a great video! But I think the star of the video is on the floor laughing.

gets me every time.

I'm guessing the cat is still up there.

Great video! Pretty cat, but I could listen to that 'belly giggle' all day!

At seventeen-and-a-half, he survived not just pneumonia but pneumothorax. He'd stopped eating, and only the correct flavor of Berber baby food (beef) smeared on his lips got him eating again. He bounced right back. Nearly a year ago he went into arrest during a check-up, and the vet called us over to say goodbye. We arrived to find him standing and scolding the whole room, ready to jump down from the table.

The vet said to us, and I quote, "You're gonna have to take a two-by-four to him."

He was diagnosed with renal failure three years ago, and has been getting subcutaneous fluids a few times a week for support. Right up until the day before he died, he was still doing his tomcat patrols (though he tired easily from the anemia) and eating like a pig.

My kitties voted in the midterms. I didn't get the results I hoped for, but I did get lots of laughs. (I've posted this on DU before.) I'm going to do another one of these for the election this year, fixing some of the problems I had with this one (such as the lighting). Trial and error, live and learn If all goes well, I'll get better (=more Democratic) results too, but I'd rather have better results in real life Enjoy!
