Cute dog. I have 2 poodles.

Krulltime, cute doggy - she looks a little like Santa's Little Helper.

I no longer have any pets, unfortunately. I'd have to leave them alone too much. I miss having them terribly - dogs in particular.

[TLOZ Link5]

Santa's Little Helper is a greyhound.

Anyway...

I have a pug who is about a year and a half old and is like my child. I also have 2 cats who are fortunately much more independent.

Hahaha! Well yeah she is cute. Yeah I will miss not having a dog either.

[Gulcrapek]

Beautiful kitty named Scottie. He's white with big orange blotches, a tabby tail, and a kind of lionish forehead. I wuv my Scottie. Unfortunately he has renal failure that has sort of stabilized so I'm cherishing him now as much as I can. I have 1020493985345 pics, I'll post one sometime.

THanks, her name is skye. Btw, you and Juno have an awesome view.

[Miss Liberty]

My family's crazy for pets. I have five spiders, 2 snakes, a cute dog, a turtle and some birdies (just visitors in summer).

[Ninjahedge]

I thought the same thing.

I thought the same too.

Then I thought "nice TV".

And looking at Krulls profile I thought: "How the hell did she afford that??!?"

(I think she is a he, if she is not a she, then I owe him an apology. ;))

[Gab]

I don't have pet but my neighbor who live above me has a nice white mouse.

[Ninjahedge]

Krulls a he.


Oop.

I was not sure.

I saw the nice TV and thought "he", but then I saw that the room was not a TOTAL mess, and that he had a rather nice looking nightstand light and I thought hmmmmmm.........


My apologies Krull!!!!

[krulltime]

Yes I am a He... hehehe... Thats alright... ;)

I actually clean it up a bit before I took the photos.

[Zerlina]

Well... I've got 3 dogs! A german shepard of 11 years old named Nerone and 2 dogs that I've found around the streets... Jago (just about 4 years old) and Argo (one year)! I really love them!!! But I just couldn't put a pic of them here... maybe because of the photo's size...:(

Do you have a Paint program? Even the most basic MS Paint program has a "reduce" option for jpgs/gifs/bmps. (Actually, the "Stretch/skew" option.) From what I can gather, the members here would love to see big dogs and horses!

MK, I have been meaning to tell you that this is one of the best-groomed group of cats I have seen in a long time. The litmus test: All the ears are clean!

Also, all the fur coats are smooth and shiny, and there are no loose hairs on the coats. Their colors are vivid, and the whites are snow white. Their faces are clean and their whiskers gleam. Cats are not naturally this put-together; somebody puts a lot of extra time in grooming these pets.:)

I like the juxtaposition of four sleeping cats and the book, "Wake Up, America!" in the background.

Thanks! They're never groomed by me but only by themselves and by one another.

Completely unintended, I'm afraid. Photographing cats is hard enough; posing them, impossible.

Cheers to the human that gets to live with that handsome pride of cats above.
You see, 4 years ago my cat died. He was a beautiful Siamese, and his life was cut short at the age of 7 by a neurological disease that manifested gradually over the course of a year. It was a painful experience to watch his condition deteriorate after the vet and I tried everything, and then following the advice to put him to sleep. I wil never stop feeling pain when I think of that procedure. I raised him from the day he was weaned, so the bond we had developed was very strong. Siamese tend to develop a dog-like attachment to their owners; Nepal followed me all around the apartment...wherever the people were, he had to be right in the middle of the circle. What a cat he was. I miss him so much.
Sorry for the downer post. I needed to express that.

[ManhattanKnight]

MG, to me, the human who lived with that pile of cats, that was no "downer" -- Siamese are extraordinary beings. The sealpoint Siamese in that photo was Prince, who died 4 years ago, at age 22. I spotted him one day in a litter of kittens in Macy's (Herald Square) pet department (yes, there once was one) and took him home that same day. In the photo, his head is resting atop that of Isaac, a Philadelphia cat I adopted after he became Prince's kidney donor a couple of years before his death. Later, Isaac was joined by Twi, a sealpoint kitten also from Philadelphia and, somewhat to my vet's consternation (they're both male cats), suckled Twi during most of the first year of his life.

Prince at age 21:

I'm so sorry about your cat Midtown. He sounds like he was. :(

[MidtownGuy]

Thanks Joelio, and thanks to ManhattanKnight for sharing that background and those pictures. So, you definitely know what I mean when I talk about Siamese cats. I've always been attracted to them and their extraordinary nature.
One day, I will bring another Siamese home, actually two I guess- I think it's better that way. When I'm ready...

Dear MidTown, you have already told me your sweet cat's history. And I still remeber the sadness in your eyes... I understand you 'cause I lost my my dear Matisse last may... He was 14 years old and he was my little brother...

[Fabrizio]

I've got to get a cat.

I returned home yesterday to find animal droppings all over the place. And I don't have a pet.

I immediately called my gardener guy, he examined them and says that they're probably from a badger... or, listen to this.... maybe a swamp rat. Something like that.

I had left the door to the garden open, some food on the counter and the rat or whatever it is, came in, helped himself, crapped and left.

I checked to see if any money was missing (I swear).

I quess I was a little hysterical.

I was so freaked out I even asked the gardener guy if he'd spend the night...

(No luck.)

Anyway, it seems like the best way to keep these beasts at bay is to have a cat.

There's a market that fills the town streets on Saturday. The local animal shelter comes in with stray cats&dogs and gives them away..... so I quess on Saturday I'm getting a cat.

It's so sad. I never thought I'd wind up this way. 50 years old and living with a cat.

[lofter1]

If could be worse.

You could be living with _____________ :cool: (fill in the blank).

Get yourself in indoor / outdoor cat -- one with lots of independence.

Figure out a way to put in a pet door (but not big enough for the swamp rat thing :eek: to drop in) so your new helper can come and go.

And be sure to have it neutered (eventually) if you don't want it to take off for days on end.

[Fabrizio]

I'm in the center of town so the garden is completely walled making it harder for the cat to escape... at least while it's young. (I really don't feel like modifying handcrafted louvered doors to accomodate a cat.)

When it gets older I could always eat it or have it made into a bag.

[lofter1]

Get it a mate -- a pair of warm socks are always nice :cool:

[NYatKNIGHT]

The gardener thinks a badger crapped in your house?

Better get a coyote.

[Fabrizio]

It's God punishing me for the wise-a$$ comments on the Link thread.

[NYatKNIGHT]

Ah, now we're getting somewhere. Maybe it wasn't God, but someone from the Link?

Either way, enjoy the new guard cat. Updates, please.

[ZippyTheChimp]

When it gets older I could always eat it or have it made into a bag.If it's a badger, you and the cat could wind up as luggage.

[Fabrizio]

A friend told me that rodent feces are highly toxic... you go blind, your skin rots. My cleaning lady walks around the place carrying a broom. I'm having a cleaning service come in on Monday and I'm going away for the weekend. I'm thinking of selling.

[MidtownGuy]

selling!! really, dear friend, perhaps that's a bit of an over reaction?:)
find a nice cat and the problem will be quickly solved. He/she will patrol the territory with great zeal. And you will, despite yourself, become fond of him/her if you choose the right one to bring home. When I lived in Brooklyn on the ground floor, a mouse must have entered the place one night, because my cat began a vigil at a certain place where he detected something. I swear he didn't move from that spot all night, just patiently waiting like a statue. In the morning, the mouse was dead.
They're incredibly efficient, and loveable too:)
Keep that beautiful Tuscan villa! I'm coming to see that hubcap collection one day.

[Punzie]

And be sure to have it neutered (eventually) if you don't want it to take off for days on end.
I second this.:)

Another reason for neutering a male cat is the repugnant "cat spray" -- they spray it everywhere to mark their territory and attract female cats.

If Sergio is 4 months old or greater, he can be neutered right now. Early neutering is not cruel; the anesthesia techniques have been technologically purrfected and the cat doesn't know what really happened.

Early neutering keeps the cat from developing "undesireable habits" and perhaps continuing them after being neutered.

[Punzie]

It's so sad. I never thought I'd wind up this way. 50 years old and living with a cat.

"As soon as you adopt a few cats, spend a fortune to get them vaccinated and neutered, get them catching all your rodents, and start loving them like children -- that's when you'll meet your handsome prince... who is allergic to cats."

[Fabrizio]

From what I've read, he likes cats.

[NYatKNIGHT]

Alrighty then.

I can't tell! My long-time friend always owns at least two red boxers, and they aren't particularly into digging. (I should ask her if she trained it out of them.)

Boxers have faces that make them look like they're tough dogs, but my friend's are gentle and mild-tempered. Her Boxers befriend everyone and wouldn't make good guard dogs. What is Raven like?

[NewYorkDoc]

I love cats! If I weren't so busy I'd adopt one from the ASPCA. Unfortunately, It would be there all alone all day and I just can't do that to it.

Edit: I was thinking, I could call a shelter that is about to put an older cat down and adopt it. An older cat would probably not require as much attention as a kitten or a young cat. Anyone have an opinion on this?

First of all, be sure that you're not allergic. If you're not absolutely sure, have a friend's cat stay at your place for a few days, or "cat sit" while your friend is on vacation.

If you're not allergic, repost your question here and I'll answer it extensively:

Yes, and those brown patches have spread as he's aged. Back when he was a kitten, there was no noticeable brown on him anywhere. Now he didn't become an outdoors cat until he was maybe four or five years old, so I wonder is this color changing a function of aging or perhaps comes from exposure to the elements?

^ What a stupid expression.

I started out kind of indifferent to cats, but the badger/swamp-rat thing sold me on getting one.

But after scrolling through these pictures I'm now slowly starting to hate them.

I'm thinking of putting down rat poison and calling it a day.

Oh and BTW... is it true that 9 out of 10 cat owners are lesbians? There's that too.
